What do you do?
I’m trying to solve retirement for New Zealanders with a free platform - and when I’m not doing that, I’m making art that unsettles people a little.
Why?
After selling my cycle apparel business in 2020, I ran my own numbers and realised I could retire earlier than I’d thought — and then realised almost nobody else had the tools to do the same calculation. That’s why ThatDay exists. The art is the other half of the same need: I have to be making things that matter.
What should we read?
