PSA: A rare moment of shameless pride incoming…

This week, my 11-year-old daughter, Rose, sent me this photo from her trip to the UK.

She was standing in London, looking across at The Gherkin the building where I once worked and seeing it through her eyes stopped me in my tracks.

She’s also a much better photographer than I am 😂

Back then, I was working in the global insurance industry, travelling across markets and building experience, relationships and connections.

I never imagined that one day I’d bring all of that home to Noosa and use it to build something of our own.

Ten years of hard work, big risks, tough lessons, incredible people and plenty of moments where we had to back ourselves.

We may not be the biggest, but we’ve built iO2 our way with high standards, genuine care and a commitment to doing things properly.

Most importantly, we’ve been lucky enough to work with amazing clients who trusted us from the very beginning.

So yes, this is a moment of pride.

From The Gherkin to Noosa.

Ten years of iO2. One hell of a journey and we’re only getting started.

***Opening Monday! 🙌***

There’s something incredibly special about watching clients grow, evolve and bring new visions to life. We could not be happier for Barry as he prepares to open the doors to his beautiful

You poured your heart and soul into creating The Pavillion — such a stunning retail space on The Junction — and now you’re bringing that same passion and vision to a place where people can gather over great coffee, breakfasts and long lunches.

We cannot wait to see this next chapter come to life and to be sitting there soon with an espresso in hand. Congratulations Barry, this is going to be something truly special 🙌

We were recently invited to join Podcast Hosts - Jay and Nicky Turner Laguna Pest Control and what a great conversation it turned out to be.

Joel shared 35 years of business and insurance knowledge (keep an eye on the comments 👇)

We all know Jay and Nicky for their award-winning business and leadership in the industry, but what you might not know is their passion project—“Rescue Honey” 🍯 🐝

In an industry known for eliminating pests, Laguna Pest Control take a completely different approach when it comes to bees — carefully relocating hives and protecting these incredibly important pollinators rather than destroying them.

And the honey? It’s the result of that process… and honestly, it is absolutely delicious.

It’s just one example of their broader eco-friendly approach — thoughtful, sustainable, and genuinely committed to doing things differently.

If you’re curious to learn more about what they do, it’s well worth a look: https://lagunapestcontrol.com.au/

Meet our incredibly talented local photographer 🙌

We added a beautiful piece to our office today (reveal coming soon)

Such a special way to have your own little piece of Noosa…

Paul is closing his gallery, so it’s a pretty special time to pop in—he’s open all day tomorrow 📸

Which would you choose? (It’s hard!!!)

End of the convention sessions at Steadfast Convention 2026 with the incredibly inspiring Sam Bloom.

Strength in every image—but behind it, a story of darkness, heartbreak and extraordinary resilience. After a life-changing fall in Thailand in front of her young family, she faced feeling completely broken—physically and mentally—yet found a way forward with gratitude… with a little help from a cheeky magpie called Penguin.

From that place to becoming a world champion para surfer, winning gold, authoring a best-selling book, and now competing in Byron this week—truly remarkable.

“You can hate what happened, feel broken, and still be incredibly grateful.”

One of my favourite quotes from today:
“Whether it’s wings, wheels or water—you can move forward.”

A powerful reminder to keep going, no matter what.

Jelena Dokic ✨

Jelena Dokic’s keynote challenges us to go beyond what we believe our self‑belief and self‑worth allow.

By finding and owning a voice, Jelena Dokic turned personal strength into purpose — using that power to advocate for resilience, mental health, and truth.
This is about taking that belief into your day.

How you show up.
How you value yourself.
And how far you allow yourself to go.
