About Start Loaded

I founded Start Loaded to help freelancers create more freedom by working less, charging more, and increasing their value as professionals.

With 17 years of freelancing experience and over eight years as a digital nomad, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering creatives and businesses worldwide. Through Start Loaded, I’ve helped freelancers work smarter, earn more, and achieve true freedom. My book Laid Back Freelancing, top-rated courses, and masterclasses have guided over 200,000 students toward building thriving businesses and designing lives on their terms.

At Atravela, my marketing agency, we’ve partnered with over 200 brands, including BBC and TEDx, and helped 20 startups raise over $24M. Guided by our motto, “Simplicity Empowers,” we specialise in transforming businesses from the ground up, delivering digital solutions that simplify and elevate operations globally.

Bloom is the culmination of everything I’ve learned, packaged into an all-inclusive retreat designed to help you unlock meaningful productivity and freedom. Drawing on the lessons of my career, it’s more than just a retreat—it’s an opportunity to gain the tools, strategies, and community needed to work less, charge more, and make impactful decisions with confidence.

Join us at Bloom to break free from the mundane, embrace exceptional creativity, and build a life of freedom and adventure. Together, we’ll transform your creative and professional journey into one of purpose, growth, and lasting success.
