Flow State Friday
How to live present and perform when it counts.
Flow State Friday
Well, it’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks over here.
Last week I launched the PEAK Community and signed up 12 foundational members, which is awesome. Although, it sounds a little biblical now that I think of it…
Anyway—and possibly more importantly—my wife Gina and I settled on 7 acres in the hinterland of the Gold Coast.
With the age of AI and tech, we wanted to not only offer a digital training space but also a physical location to connect, breathe, train, and learn.
Between my private training facility here in Canberra and our beautiful new location, Skyline Serenity, we have everything we need to offer comprehensive, transformative training and experiences.
All that aside, here are four insights and resources to help you live present and perform when it counts.
Quote
If your compassion doesn’t include yourself, then it is incomplete.
— Jack Kornfield
Compassion is the bridge between your mind and heart.
It is the capacity to see from one’s perspective whilst holding your own from a deep place of love and care.
Now, apply that to yourself too, you big ol’ bully.
Insight
You can’t build a new future off old thinking.
If you want something different in the future, you need to be able to let go of whatever it is that got you here.
It ain’t taking you there.
It can’t.
You need to think about the future you want. Step into it. Feel it. Understand the person you need to be—in mind, body, and emotion—to own that future. Then be that person now.
Resource
Maker or Manager?
What does your calendar look like?
Do you have blocks of open time so you can do your genius work, or do you have back-to-back-to-back schedules and meetings?
Makers are more like Founders. Visionaries. Dreamers. Creators.
Managers are more like CEOs. Organised. Procedural. Realists.
Me? I’m a maker. I have three blocks per day:
Morning block (8–12) – Inspire: creative work
Midday block (12–4) – Fire: deliver that work
Evening block (4–8) – Aspire: teach, coach, connect
I work in 90-minute sprints with a 30-minute break. On repeat.
Question
Are you a maker or a manager?
Hit reply and let me know! I’m interested to know what you fall under.
That’s all from me.
I have another PEAK information night coming up.
If you’re interested, respond to this newsletter with “Info” and I will send you the dates and details.
Big love.
Peace and pizza.

P.S. I am so excited to host PEAK training days out of our Gold Coast property. I hope you can come along!
