Dangerously
alive
Your life is happening. Are you in it?
Aliveness comes from subtraction, not addition. Through stories from the road, honest reflections and a few dangerous questions, this book invites you to question what you’ve been taught to want, let go of what no longer feels true, and meet your life with more curiosity, courage and connection.
On stage
Bring more aliveness into the room.
Through stories from business and an adventurous life, I help audiences get curious, question the assumptions shaping their choices and find the courage to do things differently.
My keynotes mix big questions with practical ideas, unexpected turns and plenty of laughter. People leave seeing fresh possibilities for how they lead, build and connect.

about me
I’m a Swiss-born Australian (Swaussie) entrepreneur, adventurer, author and speaker.
Across all of it, I keep coming back to a few questions. What becomes possible when we’re a little braver? What are we missing when we stop being curious? And how can we contribute something useful while enjoying our time here?
These questions find their way into my books, my businesses, my talks and many dinner conversations.
