AI Futurist & Sydney Keynote Speaker: The 1% Rule for Exponential Results

18 Jan 2026

If I'm going to do one thing different in 2026, it's going to be this...

We chase massive transformations. We dream of overnight success. We wait for the perfect moment to reinvent ourselves.

But here's the truth: 1% changes can have a massive, compounding, exponential impact on your life.

And all future dissatisfaction stems from present inaction.

My 2025 Experiment

Last year, I made one seemingly small shift: a digital detox in the mornings.

Instead of waking up and immediately scrolling through social media or diving into my Gmail inbox, I changed the ritual entirely. Now my mornings look different:

  • Meditation before notifications
  • Quality time with my kids
  • Exercise before emails
  • Phone stays dark until 9am—after school drop-off

That's it. One boundary. One hour reclaimed.

The result? A massive productivity boost. But more importantly, a mental health transformation I didn't see coming.

The Insanity Trap

You've heard it before: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Yet most of us will start 2026 with the exact same routines, the exact same habits, and the exact same morning scroll that's been quietly draining our energy for years.

Your Turn

So my question to you today is this:

What's the one thing you're going to do differently this year—to drive different results in your life, in your business, and in your relationships?

It doesn't have to be radical. It just has to be different.

Start with 1%.
