Inter-disciplinary Change Catalyst

The only guide who connects Techno-Optimism, Inner Work, and Systemic Thinking.

For the curious who are ready to commit and shape a more beautiful society.

Raised between a hippie commune and middle-class ambition, I was wired early for disruption and renewal. I bridge worlds — business and counterculture, order and chaos — to help you grow and lead with courage when the old ways no longer work. In a world on the brink of profound change, I feel uniquely prepared for what’s coming next.

The Metacrisis isn’t just climate change, inequality or AI risk. It’s the deeper breakdown of our systems and institutions and our meaning making as we collide with planetary boundaries. Confronting it means asking: How am I complicit in outcomes I don’t want? This demands vision, healing, and action.

Do you want a more beautiful society?

Let’s talk!

Shaping the Future

Techno-Optimism, Inner Work, and Systemic Thinking — my compass for shaping a more beautiful future.

Three practices for turning turn vision into action and complexity into opportunity.

Click for a quick refresher on each — or skip ahead if you’re already familiar.

  • Technology, guided by wisdom and ethics, can help us build a regenerative future. It’s not just hype or disruption — it’s a tool for realignment with nature and abundance for all. From my own first breath (an emergency C-section in hospital) to the rise of blockchain and AI, I’ve seen tech and humanity co-evolve. The challenge now: let’s shift from unintended consequences to intentional innovation: for ourselves and the next seven generations.

  • Lasting change starts on the inside. Inner work means healing old and inherited wounds, balancing drive with presence, and reconnecting with ourselves, each other, and nature. It’s the foundation for resilience and authentic leadership. I see inner work as both personal and collective: it helps us avoid burnout, build real trust, and open up space for new ways of being and leading.

  • Systemic thinking is about seeing the whole, not just the parts; this is the big leap our times demand. It’s the art of spotting patterns, ripple effects, and our deep interdependence with all life.

    I draw from Theory U, Integral Theory, indigenous wisdom, and lived experience to help leaders and teams navigate complexity and design systems that serve both people and planet. It’s not about quick fixes, but shifting mindsets and stories, moment by moment.

    Where are you still solving symptoms instead of shifting systems?

These practices spiral together as my compass for navigating complexity and making meaningful change. If you’re ready to move beyond easy answers and into a deeper, more connected way of shaping the future, follow me — let’s see how we can co-create what matters most to you.

Catalysing your Success

For leaders and teams who know change can’t wait and value a guide over a guru:

Whether you need a sparring partner for high-stakes leadership situations, want to co-create with your stakeholders, are curious about blockchain and crypto, or ready for deep inner work and psychedelics — let’s find the right fit for what matters most to you.

Each + button opens a new door — see what resonates for you.

  • For execs facing make-or-break decisions

    When your next move could redefine your company’s future — founder’s succession, carve-out, decentralisation, intrapreneurship, acquisitions — you need more than consultants who recycle best practices.

    I bring 25 years of navigating organisational immune systems and building trust in high-stakes scenarios. Think of me as your “chief question asker” challenging assumptions, stress-testing strategies, and helping you lead with clarity when the path isn’t clear.

    When needed, I bring in my audacify partner Christian to match your ambition’s scale.

  • For teams who want to build what’s never been built

    Unlock your organisation’s wisdom. I design and facilitate events that blend structure with open-space methods, bridging business needs with self-organisation.

    Whether 50 or 500 people, in-person or remote, I create spaces for honest dialogue, breakthrough ideas, and real alignment. True co-creation means letting go of control and embracing the unknown-skills that are essential for the future of work.

  • Your onchain strategy accelerator

    AI is already reshaping your business from the inside out. Blockchain is the outside-in wave you might not see coming. This isn’t just about crypto; it’s about removing middlemen and central control, fundamentally changing how industries operate. As AI agents and smart contracts interact onchain, the very structures of organisations as we know them will become obsolete.

    In 1–2 years, you’ll need an onchain strategy — just like you suddenly needed an online strategy in the late ’90s. Start small. Start now.

    Invite me for a one-hour inspiration session: live, relevant showcases for your team.

    My core offer: a hands-on, one-day workshop. Real use cases. Direct experience. Aha! moments that drive real decisions. After decades inside organisations, I know how to spark motivation beyond any consultant’s slide deck.

    Ask me anything.

  • For the curious, not the coders

    Curious about blockchain and crypto? My hands-on, fast-paced weekend seminar is for you, no tech skills required.

    I break down complex systems into simple steps that make you want to dive in and experiment. You’ll explore Ethereum’s World Computer , web3’s ownership economy, and the practical side of onchain life.

    I draw on years as a soft skills trainer to make this accessible, systemic, and fun.

    I was early. I don’t want you to miss out.

  • Inner Work unlocks everything

    I partner with Ruth Veda, who works with Compassionate Inquiry® (Dr. Gabor Maté) and body-based therapies creates a safe, supportive space for deep exploration.

    We combine transformational coaching, relational therapy, and somatic work to help you heal your past, and reimagine your future.

    For those called to it, we also offer support for legal psychedelic journeys.

    Are you ready to meet yourself with compassion?

Becoming the Catalyst

How my journey can help you chart your own.

My life began in a hippie commune, then was upended by adoption into a family striving for stability and status, yet emotionally and physically highly volatile. These early ruptures wired me for signal detection, pattern recognition, and adaptation — gifts and challenges — that kept me attuned to disruption. Becoming a change catalyst wasn’t a career move; it was an inevitability.

For years, I played the blame and shame game, until a near-death experience forced me to change from the inside out. Today, I live a deeply satisfying life with my family on the edge of a forest: alcohol-free, nourished by healthy food, daily walks, and a grounding morning routine. Integrating various psychedelic journeys has also shaped my perspective and resilience.

My 30-year career has spanned startups, corporates, and consulting, always drawn to the messy heart of change. I’ve distilled what I do best and love most into helping others transform and grow.

I believe in serving the smallest viable audience-those who are curious, restless, and ready to move. I don’t try to be the best; I aim to be the only — by connecting dots others don’t even see.

I’m a bridge builder between a dying world order and what wants to emerge. I don’t promise easy answers, but I walk alongside those willing to question, grow, and become creative catalysts in their teams, organizations, and society.

I lead myself this way to inspire you to chart your own path and co-create the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. Ready?

Making my own Tools

Because real change needs more than inspiration — it needs practical tools for the journey.

Stories and services can inspire, but sustainable change requires something more: reliable tools to navigate complexity and uncertainty.

That’s why I created my own Map for Change — a practical framework I use every day to orient myself and the people I work with. It helps turn big ideas into actionable steps, so you’re not just inspired, but equipped to make real progress.

My map weaves together:

  1. Realms of Reality – Self, relationships, organization, humanity, earth, cosmos.

  2. Levels of Life – Beliefs, emotions, behaviors, outcomes.

  3. Cycle of Change – Awareness, choice, action, integration.

  4. Consciousness of Choices – Choosing trade-offs and competing commitments with intention, not blame.

This isn’t theory: it’s how I navigate leadership, personal growth, and even family dynamics. The map reveals where I’m stuck and how to move forward with clarity and compassion.

Watch this 90 min teaching.

Then ask: How much do I still play the blame game? What might shift if I replace it with conscious choices?

Building Farcasterland

My real-world lab for co-creation, decentralisation, and the future of community.

My work isn’t just theory or private practice — I’m actively building and learning in public.

Farcaster is my online home. It’s a decentralized social network where we finally! own our data. It feels like Y Combinator for onchain social and consumer crypto projects, and the “Singapore of web3” — small but high GDP.

Here, builders co-create, experiment, and support each other with a win-win mindset. I’ve launched Farcasterland (think Reddit channel) to explore infinite games and new forms of coordination. Find me there as antaur.eth (my pseudonym) so I can show you around and connect you
