        About the speaker

        A first-generation Australian born to Italian migrants, Simon was raised with strong family values and a solid work ethic as essential ingredients to living a successful life. Having completed High School without a clear direction, he enrolled himself on University to fulfil his parent's wishes of taking advantage of an opportunity they never had. 

        Having dropped out of Uni after 2 years, he began his career in the telecommunications industry and over the past 20 years has undertaken various roles across different industries. His constant feelings of dissatisfaction and unfulfillment led him on a journey of self-development - investing $100,000 and 10,000 hours over the past 6 years to discover how to find his own niche, and is passionate about educating others on how to do the same.
