Spending time with Ziad Makhzoumi taught me that business isn’t just management, it’s war.
Success demands extraordinary decisions in exceptional circumstances, not just day-to-day management.
Ziad demonstrated that humility and learning from mistakes are vital to avoid repeating failures.
What I learned from Ziad about leadership was the necessity to plan meticulously, quantify everything, and build a strong, resilient team.
During my time with him, I witnessed how he pushed a company through a 98% share price collapse and rebuilt it within six months.
Here’s how you can use that insight today:
Treat your business like a battlefield
Prepare
Measure
lead decisively.

"Business is War. Making extraordinary decisions in exceptional circumstances, otherwise you are a Manager.", Ziad Makhzoumi

Spending time with Vince Vaughn taught me that achieving your goals demands consistent practice and genuine excitement for what you do.
Vince demonstrated that practice not only increases your chances of success but also builds the confidence necessary to reach your goals.
During my time observing Vince’s approach, I saw how passion fuels progress.
Without authentic excitement, achievement becomes elusive.
Here’s how you can use that insight today:
Commit to practicing your craft regularly
find ways to stay excited about your mission.
The momentum you build will compound your confidence and results.

“Practice increases chances and confidence to get goals.”, Vince Vaughn

Exit Planning So "Albo" Does not Get 47% of Your Lifetimes Work

Most business owners think their biggest partner is their banker, investor or shareholder.
After the May 2026 Federal Budget changes, it might actually be Albo.
Between potential CGT changes, Trust taxation reforms and increasing compliance complexity, some founders could lose up to 47% of their hard-earned exit proceeds.
That is nearly half of a lifetime of work.

The scary part?
Most owners still have no formal Exit Plan.

No structure review. No succession strategy. No value optimisation roadmap. No tax planning window.

The founders who start planning early may keep substantially more of what they build.
The founders who wait until they are ready to sell may discover they are too late.
The next 3 to 5 years could become one of the biggest business restructuring periods Australia has ever seen.

Plan early. Structure smart. Exit stronger.

Spending time with Vanilla Ice taught me that success demands adaptability and grit.
At one point, he forgot his luggage on a trip but seized the moment by going to Gucci to get new clothes and keep his momentum.
Vanilla Ice demonstrated that setbacks don’t stop real winners; they pivot and keep moving forward with style and confidence.
During my time around him, I saw firsthand how staying ready to reinvent yourself keeps you relevant and opens doors in business and life.
Here’s how you can apply this:
when you face unexpected challenges
lean in
solve creatively
stay focused on your vision.

“When life throws you out of the plane without your luggage, buy new clothes and keep flying.”, Vanilla Ice (paraphrased from event notes)

Spending time with Tonino Lamborghini taught me that creating a lasting brand is about blending heritage with relentless innovation.
Tonino showed me that success demands not only family legacy but also bold independence, he built exclusive high-end watches, leather goods, and sunglasses starting in a small garage with very limited resources.
What I learned from Tonino about persistence was his mantra: “Push, push, push,” combined with seizing opportunities and embracing risk.
During my time with him, I saw how dedication to quality and global expansion built a luxury empire that is both iconic and evolving.
Here’s how you can use that insight today:
focus on authenticity in your brand
keep adapting boldly to new markets.

“In all Companies, Families & Dynasties, do not relax try and overcome.”, Tonino Lamborghini
