The 1583 Society

In a career spanning 27 years across over 11 countries, creating projects & businesses that have impacted people's lives in over 83 countries, I'm one of the luckiest people I know: doing what I love most, which is making a difference.

I am passionate about leaving the world in a better state than we found it. To this end, I am involved in a number of initiatives, including the Global Centre for Unconventional Entrepreneurship. More specifically my expertise is on the topic of access to markets.

It is a science to know how to find clients; without those you don't have a business!

I've presented over 500 workshops, speaking engagements and seminars in this space over the last few years, to thousands of SMEs. The biggest live workshop which I did in 2020, had over 13.000 participants!

Together with my partners, I have done a lot of research and this course is really a culmination of all that knowledge, observations and experience for your benefit.

And in case you wonder if I am just a lecturer. No. Since graduating from University 21 years ago I’ve generated over USD 11m in direct sales and at least USD 420m in indirect sales (where I worked together with others). So when I speak about this topic I am speaking from foundation of results and experience as well as research.
