About a week ago, I had one of the biggest meetings of my career.
A face-to-face with someone on the Australian Rich 200 list, a seasoned operator and someone with quite the resume.
We sat down in Adelaide to walk through what we’re building at Designless.ai:
Real AI agents.
Built with intention.
Designed to solve real business problems.
It wasn’t just a pitch. It was a conversation.
Fast forward to now and I just received an email from him.
Not just saying “nice to meet you.”
But outlining six areas where he sees AI adding value in his group of companies.
He wants to explore them all.
We haven’t signed a deal yet, we still need to scope things out and design a partnership agreement. But the opportunity? It’s real.
And that moment, reading that email made me reflect:
Six months ago, I wouldn’t have imagined being here.
Pitching one of the most successful business people in the country.
Let alone getting a positive response.
But this door didn’t open randomly.
It opened because someone in my network believed in what we’re building.
It opened because I kept showing up.
It opened because I stopped trying to have everything “ready” and just started sharing.
We built Designless by doing the work.
Real systems. Real results. Real conversations.
So if you’re building something, keep going.
Say yes to the small stuff.
Keep shipping. Keep showing up.
Because the rooms you end up in?
They’re often the result of the work you did when no one was watching.
See you on the next one.

Unfortunately due to a heavier workload and other responsibilities, I’ll be shifting blog posts to once a week for now. Still committed to sharing value, just at a more sustainable pace.
Appreciate your patience and support.
