Entrepreneurs and Referron at the Sydney Opera House





I was privileged to represent #referron during a great day at the Sydney Opera House where  an invitation-only group of global and Australian entrepreneurs and leaders  were connecting , collaborating , contribution and building community. 


The calibre of humans  in that room was inspiring. The energy and engagement as people shared their stories and  explored how mindset, systems, relationships, referrals and strategic thinking together with #ai is making for an exciting future! 


Thanks to JT Foxx for this priceless opportunity to connect with and share insights alongside such an elite group of business owners, entrepreneurs and leaders.

A tribute to 2 legends


To build #ai models and achieve digital transformation , you need the foundations to be solid …. These 2 insights , in my view, go a long way to create that foundation !


“You don’t live once. You live every day, and you die once. None of us know when that day will come.” – Bobby Darin


“If you want a stronger country, start by being a stronger neighbour. Treat others the way you want to be treated—respect, dignity, and honesty. That principle builds families, communities, and nations.” – Charlie Kirk


A Philosophy to Live By

• Take nothing for granted.

• Chase the dreams that stir your soul and take action to Pursue them


and most of all  


• Treat people, animals, and the world with the respect you’d hope for in return—everything else is commentary.


So who was Bobby Darin 


Bobby Darin wasn’t just a singer—he was a fighter. Born in 1936 in the Bronx, with a weak heart, doctors said he wouldn’t make it past 16. Instead, he went on to fill the world with unforgettable music, squeezing a lifetime of achievement into just 37 years.


His life began with struggle and secrets. His mother, only 16 when she had him, let her own mother raise him as her son. Bobby grew up believing his mother was his sister. Out of challenge and uncertainty, he built resilience, artistry, and a legacy that still echoes today.


Darin’s story reminds us that life isn’t measured by its length but by its intensity, passion, and impact. 


Why Charlie Kirk’s Story Inspires


Charlie Kirk founded Turning Point USA at just 18, driven by the belief that one voice can make a difference. From college campuses to national platforms, he challenged young people to engage, debate, and think critically about the future.


At the heart of his message is a timeless truth: our strength doesn’t come from tearing others down, but from lifting each other up.This create strong communities, and strong communities build a nation worth passing on.


So what’s my gem 💎 from these 2 humans 


Dream, take action and treat people and things around you like you would like to be treated !
