Our Mission
We believe life is too short not to love what you do, live purposefully, have fun and make an impact.
Why? Because we know what it feels like!
We burned ourselves out trying to swim up someone else’s river.
We changed ourselves to fit into our environment, we questioned - and then quietened - our instincts, and we lost confidence in our abilities.
We wasted energy, got stressed and became worse versions of ourselves (that’s coaching speak for ‘we acted like dickheads’).
Eventually the nagging feeling that something needed to change grew strong enough and through a combination of intense introspection, a bucket load of time and money and a fair few wrong turns, we discovered the unbounded freedom and effortlessness of our true Untamed path!
We aligned our life and work with who we truly were and what inspired us, and reconnected with everything that makes life so f**king ace.
it was rubbish
Now we’re on a mission to help you rediscover the joys of living a fulfilled and aligned life by finding YOUR OWN UNTAMED PATH.

about jim
Founder, Untamed
In 2016 I embarked on a cliched journey of self discovery.
Looking back on it, this need for change was prompted by the realisation I had drifted off course and longed to re-connect with my authentic self, bring more joy back into my life and design my work around my natural gifts.
If this framing of my experience makes me sound self aware and composed, don't be fooled. The 2016 version of me would have simply said "this is shit. I don't know what I want to do next but I know it's not this."
In truth, by the time this realisation hit me, I was a shadow of my former self. I was struggling to find motivation at work, felt a lot more stress and was quicker to anger.
This affected not just my work but my health and most importantly, my relationships.
In short, I had lost my zest for life and needed to get it back!
What made this reality harder to face was that on the surface, I had what I thought I wanted. I was running a multi-million dollar business, had a company car, went wake-boarding at the weekends and had some great friends.
But in actual fact, these served merely as distractions.
The truth was, I didn't know myself and was trying desperately to be who I thought I needed to be, not who I really was.
Thank fully, I caught myself and threw everything at figuring out who I was, what I really wanted, who I wanted to serve and the life I wanted to live.
The outcome of this quest was more brilliant and beautiful than I could have imagined and for the past eight years, I have been helping people answer the same questions I asked myself.
Running a business is never easy but the love I have for this work and the deep connection I have to why I'm doing it brings me immense gratitude.
Throughout my adventures from a childless, mortgage-less nomad, to being a home-owning, married father, my work has been a constant source of inspiration, joy and fulfilment.
In short, I bloody love what I do, I feel honoured that I'm able do it and I hope I get the chance to help you too!
Please dive right into this website, I hope you find it valuable and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
ENJOY!
