Joshua van Veen
Embracing life's adventures, one ride at a time.
G'day! I'm Joshua.
Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I'm a passionate entrepreneur, a lover of the great outdoors, and a motorbike enthusiast.
For me, life is all about the journey, not just the destination.
My journey has been anything but linear. I'm a multidisciplinary professional with formal training and hands-on experience in fields ranging from horticulture and permaculture design to behavioural economics and business management.
This unique blend allows me to approach challenges from a holistic perspective, seeing the patterns that connect technology, human nature, and natural systems. It's this fusion of seemingly disparate fields that enables me to craft innovative, sustainable growth strategies for my clients.
With nearly 15 years of entrepreneurial experience, I've learned that the principles of growth in nature—sustainability, resilience, and adaptability—are just as applicable in business.
This philosophy is the cornerstone of my professional life and the driving force behind my company, Growth Monster.
Lover of Nature & Motorbikes
There's nothing quite like the feeling of being immersed in nature. The tranquility of a food forest, the vastness of the ocean—it's where I find my inspiration and recharge.
My love for the environment has its roots in my first business, a plant nursery, where I helped people create their own green oases.
The roar of an engine, the wind in my face—motorbikes are my escape and my adventure. They represent freedom and the thrill of exploration.
Each ride is a new story, a new perspective, and a reminder to always embrace the open road ahead, both literally and metaphorically.
