ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

An enormous thank you to our amazingly supportive families, who not only allow us to be selfish, scared and stupid with our time but have also been the collaborators who helped us navigate the world of human behaviour successfully. Special thanks to Kerryanne Gregory, Gary Fishburn, Darcy Fishburn, Lillah and Brian Gregory, Toni and Mike Flanagan, Bruce Gregory, Jodie Coates, Simone Carton, Bronwyn Flanagan, George Betsis and Mary Coustas, and Andy and Trish Healy. We love you all and you make the journey more interesting and a lot more fun.

We also want to thank the amazing colleagues and mentors who have shared the ups and downs of our business lives over the years and contributed in their own way to the writing of this book — Matt Church, Adam Fraser, Julie Winterbottom, Leanne Christie, Heidi Gregory, Tanja Markovic, Rebecca Tapp, Lauren Kelly, Siimon Reynolds, Bradley Trevor Greive and Marty Wilson.

Last, but not least, thank you to the extraordinary team around us who helped to bring this book to fruition: Mathew Alderson, Kristen Hammond, Chris Shorten, Sandra Balonyi, Peter Reardon, Ian Butterworth, Steve York, Felipe Neves, Phaedra Fuller and Sharon Zeev Poole.
