Simon blends deep philosophical thinking with practical execution, helping founders build multiple money systems while designing a life they actually want to live.

On this episode we talk about:

• Why working on the business—not just in it—is the key to real scalability

• What “agile” really means for entrepreneurs and how to pivot quickly in changing markets

• The difference between making money and keeping money—and why both require different skill sets

• The 12 money systems you can build to create diversified, resilient income

• Designing your ideal day and building wealth around the life you want

Top 3 Takeaways

1. Agility equals speed of decision-making. The faster you can adapt your offers, pricing, and positioning, the more resilient your business becomes.

2. Income diversification builds freedom. Running 5–7 “money systems” at once (consulting, cohorts, licensing, royalties, newsletters, investing, etc.) creates stability and leverage.

3. Start with lifestyle design. Define how you want your ideal day to look—then build systems and assets that fund that life automatically.
