I used to party and I'd be out drinking five or six nights a week. It wore me down. I would make more money and then spend more of it on booze and luxury.

Australia was more laid back. I no longer had pressure from my parents asking why I wasn't married, or friends reminding me that I was making loads of money and should be taking them out.In 2014, aged 29, I went to my first ever festival. Burning Man is all about creativity. You go there and there's a kind of"free love" energy.

I started going to some dance groups, and eventually people in those groups took me to Morning Gloryville. And when I walked in I was overcome by the energy—everyone is so happy and so high on life. I kept going to the raves, and eventually I was asked if I wanted to be a"motivational dancer." Which meant I got paid to be at the rave, and also to work at some of the corporate events Morning Gloryville held.

At this time, I felt these inner voices saying,"you've got to give up recruitment, you've got to go on a pilgrimage".I went on a pilgrimage around India in 2017. I was learning with mystics, monks, and priests—learning their breathing and meditation practices. Anything I thought would be relevant to my personal journey, I was learning about.

When I started in that role at Morning Gloryville, the commercial person in me was able to merge the loving and hugging side of the rave with a real commercial side. We have now had corporate clients like Boots and Viacom—some of the largest companies in the world are hiring us to put on playful parties, but also for us to show them mindfulness, sound healing and meditation. I was super commercial, then I explored my spiritual side and now I'm a more of a spiritual entrepreneur.

Part of our plan will be to start running more online morning raves—the U.S. and Australia being our first. But with the online world, anyone, anywhere can tune in at the allotted time.
