Our Team

Growing up with divorced parents and being exposed to domestic violence from a young age, I yearned for a sense of internal safety and protection after enduring an upbringing that felt uncertain.

My childhood trauma, stemming from bullying, body dysmorphia, and the emotional turmoil of not fitting in or feeling good enough, haunted my early teenage years. I transitioned from being labelled a nerd & target of bullies to a teenager filled with internal rage and aggression, all driven by an intense desire to establish love & security within myself and my life.

At the age of 15, I embarked on a transformative journey by immersing myself in martial arts such as muay-thai kick-boxing, boxing, BJJ, Zendokai and more...

Growing up with divorced parents and being exposed to domestic violence from a young age, I yearned for a sense of internal safety and protection after enduring an upbringing that felt uncertain.

My childhood trauma, stemming from bullying, body dysmorphia, and the emotional turmoil of not fitting in or feeling good enough, haunted my early teenage years. I transitioned from being labelled a nerd & target of bullies to a teenager filled with internal rage and aggression, all driven by an intense desire to establish love & security within myself and my life.

At the age of 15, I embarked on a transformative journey by immersing myself in martial arts such as muay-thai kick-boxing, boxing, BJJ, Zendokai and more.

Upon completing high school in year 12, I initially harboured aspirations of joining the Australian Defence Force, with dreams of SAS, T.A.G, or even TRG service.

However, I eventually talked myself out of this path and found myself drawn into life's chaotic whirlwind. I began partying excessively, engaging in substance abuse, alcohol, violence, and join Australia's #1 Largest gangs at the time.

This tumultuous lifestyle resulted in being banned from every nightclub in Perth, multiple courtroom visits, time spent in jail, and various drinking and driving charges.

My life was a constant seesaw, balancing FIFO work on gruelling 4/1 rosters with my passion for fighting in the ring as a Muay-thai kick boxer g, all while wrestling with my inner demons, self-destructive tendencies, toxic relationships, and a damaging sense of toxic masculinity.

In the pivotal year of 2015, when I was just 23 years old, the foundations of my life were shaken to their core, thrusting me onto an extraordinary mission of self-discovery and empowerment.

In the crucible of adversity, I forged a determination that burned brighter than the pain I felt. This fiery resolve became the driving force behind my profound personal transformation, and to reshape myself and my life.

My transformative journey led me on an inward odyssey, where I delved fearlessly into the depths of my being.

I confronted my trauma, shattered limiting beliefs, examined my core values, and faced both my strengths and weaknesses head-on.

It was through this expedition of myself that i discovered a powerful realisation: I was not trapped by circumstances, and the shackles of my limiting thoughts could be shattered and that all powerful change starts with me taking OWNERSHIP of my life.

With an unwavering sense of purpose, Myself & Graydon built the Empowered Project.

Fueled by a passion and an indomitable spirit, We set out on a mission to empower others to be authentically happier, fortify their resilience in the face of life's challenges and infuse gratitude into their daily life.

I view my life's purpose as a calling to help others break free from and discover genuine fulfilment.

My journey from adversity to empowerment has given me the strength and wisdom to guide others on their path towards a brighter, more fulfilled life.

Our journeys are a testament to that and we will not be stopped.
