Our Story
It started with one book.
I wrote Six Islands for my son because I realised school taught him little about building financial freedom. I wanted to pass on not just what I'd learned from books, but what I'd learned through mistakes, businesses, investments and life.
When other parents asked if they could create one for their own children, Six Islands became something bigger.
Today, every book is personalised in the parent's own words and printed as a keepsake that families can pass down for generations.
"I wasn't trying to write a book.
I was trying to make sure my son didn't have to learn everything the hard way."

The conversation most families never have.
Parents spend decades building wealth. Very few ever find a way to pass on the thinking that created it.
Most children inherit a bank account but not the thinking behind how it was built. They receive the outcomes of decades of decisions without ever seeing how those decisions were made.
The gap between what parents know and what children receive costs the next generation decades of compounding and removes one of the most meaningful gifts a parent can give.
The ladder has a top. The archipelago does not.
Six islands. Six paths to financial freedom.

Your part in this
The Our Journey section contains eight questions. They ask about your financial wake-up moment, a belief you held that turned out to be wrong, your hardest financial year, the islands you've built, a risk you took, what you know now, where you stand today, and the one thing you hope your child never forgets.
Most parents complete it over one or two evenings. There are no right answers. The lined pages give you space to write as much or as little as feels true. The only instruction is to be honest because a parent who writes honestly gives their child something worth returning to at 30, at 40, at 50.
A completion guide is available to help you think through each question before you put pen to paper.

What families are saying.
"I spent 30 years building across most of the six islands — shares, two businesses, property, and superannuation. I never found a way to explain it to Jake. This book gave me the structure. The moment I handed it to him was one I won't forget."
"This is an amazing concept and hopefully a great conversation/thought starter for the kids... I am really passionate about ensuring the girls get the financial literacy that in the past has skipped them."
