Very few relationships I’ve experienced make it past the understanding phase. And I’m not just talking about intimate relationships—I’m talking about all of them, especially business ones. A woman said to me this morning, “I’m surprised to see you back out in mining. I thought your business was taking off,” and she was right—it was. It was growing exponentially right before COVID, and COVID put a stop to that. But without using that as an excuse, a big part of me still needed to grow—and I use the term “big” lightly; a massive part of me needed to grow. You see, you can’t have something you desire unless you’re compatible with that future before you attain it. This whole idea of “fake it until you make it” is rubbish, as the cracks eventually start showing up, and you’ll fail.

These last couple of years have felt like my biggest challenges yet also my biggest breakthroughs ever. So, to everyone wondering what’s been going on lately, this is it: the first version of our product, a one-of-a-kind AI pocket coach, is now ready for organizations, and I’m about to launch my second business venture, which is top secret 🫢. I’m super excited for it. The dream is very much alive. I once got frustrated thinking my business and life should’ve followed a certain path, but that couldn’t have been more wrong. The business and life lesson I’ve learned is that you need to just trust the process—you can’t control everything, and it will all work out as it’s meant to. That’s not easy to do when you’re in the thick of it, that’s for sure. But I feel myself becoming clearer and lighter by the day, and I’m more grateful than ever 💚.

I have a tattoo running down my left arm that reads, “Connect, understand, grow, and love always.” So here’s to all relationships making it past the understanding phase 🌟.

Digging for light 🌟

From swinging clubs to swinging hammers, the journey’s been long, through rail and rigs, searching for where I belong. With every swing, a spark ignites, chasing shadows, digging for light.

Digging for light has always been the mission; it has always been the goal. It’s amazing to think we’re all out here digging up the earth’s resources for a crust, and on an individual level, we’re all digging for a sense of meaning, a sense of value.

We’ve been searching for gold in the shadows of the grind, but the brightest treasures are the ones we leave behind. In the depths of the earth, we find echoes of our fight, a spark within us waiting to ignite.

There’s gold in every soul, a treasure untold, digging deep, not just for gold, but for goals! From the coalface to a calm, brighter place, we’re mining the light in every space.

My journey began with rail and coal, from Queensland to WA, chasing a role. Seven years with BHP, I gave it my all, but losing a mate became my wake-up call. RUOK? sessions and campaigns I’d lead, travelling far to plant a vital seed. Through support and ownership, I found my way, and launched fifozero to light the day.

It’s been there the whole time, the answer, the key, a spark of life in this harsh iron ore spree. On paper, it’s billions, but what is the cost, when the air feels so thick, and the soul feels lost? The nights I don’t remember, they still linger here, a shadow within me, a voice I revere. Yet even in recklessness, the light never died, it lives within me, my compass, my guide.

I’ve seen the cost of silence, the toll it takes, a fragile foundation that cracks and breaks, but wisdom grows in the darkest of mines, where every fall teaches, and every climb refines. A commitment to change, to be bold, to be true, to unearth the potential in me and in you. For it’s not just the fortune we leave behind, but the legacy of light we choose to find.

Beneath the earth, we’ve chased the glow, but the brightest light is the one we grow. The treasures we seek are hidden in sight, not just in the ground—but within our light.

~ Belong & Thrive

To thrive means to live in harmony with ourselves, with others, and our environment.

When mind, body & spirit are aligned with our true nature we enjoy optimal health and wellbeing.

It doesn’t mean we are somehow spared the challenges of life.. it means that in the face of challenge we are able to meet the experience and allow it to be apart of our growth. The obstacles become the soil from which we grow and heal. Thriving means we do our best to live well.. with joy and with an open heart 💜 ~ always evolving.. continuing to forgive, heal, trust, learn, love & grow. ~ To meet “EVERY” experience with an open heart. ~ Devi Brown.

Belong and Thrive 💓~
