Why We Built Future-Proof You (And Why You Should Care) 🚀

Business owners are shuttling into 2026 with severe seismic energy underneath them. The tech, the politics, the workforce—all in flux.

So we need to decide NOW to plant a firm foot, to construct a desired and hopeful, even exciting foundation. We can't guess our way through AI adoption, wing our wealth strategies, and run ourselves into the ground mentally anymore. ⚡

The toll of turbulence has shaken us to our rivets, and time has run out.

Future-Proof You can change how that plays out—for you.

The Problem We Keep Seeing 🔍

Here's what we've noticed across our trans-Tasman NOW Group ecosystem:

Business owners are drowning in information but struggling with implementation.

They attend webinars that promise transformation but deliver surface-level theory. They buy courses that sit unwatched. They join communities that feel more like echo chambers and tick-box exercises than growth engines. 📚

The result? Poor ROI, overwhelm, and the potential for another year of "I'll figure it out later."

2026 doesn't care about your good intentions.

It cares about the actions you take. What you create. 💪

Why NOW Group Built This Virtual Summit

At NOW Group, we're building a business networking ecosystem that works now and gets better later. Not the transactional "swap business cards and hope for the best" kind of networking.

The kind where precision matching, strategic relationships, and systematic follow-up create real business outcomes. 🎯

But we kept hearing the same three challenges from members and prospects:

1. "I know I need to adopt AI, but I don't know where to start." 🤖

The next 24 months will create the biggest business divide since the internet went mainstream.

The AI revolution isn't coming. It's here. And business owners who don't integrate it into their operations will be left behind—not in five years, but in the next 12 months.

The problem? Most AI advice is either too technical or too vague. Business owners need a clear, actionable implementation plan they can execute immediately.

They need a framework that takes them from manual chaos to automated advantage—step by step. ⚙️

2. "I'm burning out, but I don't know how to stop." 🔥

High performers don't fail because they lack ambition. They fail because they give from an empty tank.

The physiology of stress, decision fatigue, and burnout isn't just a "mental health issue." It's a business performance issue. And most leaders have no framework for managing it.

3. "My wealth strategy feels outdated." 💰

The financial landscape is shifting. Cryptocurrency as a forerunner in that shift isn't a fad—it's a fundamental change in how wealth is created, stored, and transferred.

NOW is not making a judgment on what crypto means, but we are watching and want to help you create options and systems that support your financial resilience.

But most business owners are either ignoring it entirely or diving in without strategy. Both approaches are dangerous. ⚠️

What Makes Future-Proof You Different ✨

We didn't want to build another didactic, nice-to-see, great-to-leave webinar. We wanted to build a positioning move that leaves you actually excited to plan your next 12+ months.

Here's what that means:

It's Not About Information—It's About Implementation 🛠️

Every track delivers one high-value action set you can implement immediately. Not "someday." Not "when you have time." Tomorrow.

You'll walk out with:

• A 90-day tech adoption plan with one process to systemise, one automation to implement, and one AI tool to adopt (Track 1) 📊

• A 30-day biology-business implementation plan with type-specific resilience practices that change decision quality and team performance (Track 2)

• A 2026 wealth strategy framework with clear diversification strategy and first action steps (Track 3)

No theory. No fluff. Just frameworks you can execute. ✅

It's Not About Consumption—It's About Connection 🤝

We're not streaming content at you for 110 minutes and calling it a day.

You'll choose your breakout track based on your biggest 2026 challenge. You'll engage with expert speakers who've built systems and scaled businesses. You'll participate in networking features, games (yes, they're actually fun), and discussion that connect you with business owners who think like you do.

And here's the kicker: we will pick some lucky winners to get mega value and a guaranteed business boost for 2026 worth thousands of dollars. 🎁

It's Not About Hype—It's About Positioning 📍

99% of business owners will enter 2026 reactive and unprepared.

You're not going to be one of them.

By attending Future-Proof You, you're making a statement: I'm not guessing. I'm preparing.

That mindset shift alone is worth the 1 hour 50 minutes. 🧠

The Three Tracks (And How to Choose)

We structured the virtual summit around the three biggest challenges facing business owners in 2026:

Track 1: Intelligent Tech Adoption – Future-Proofing Through Technology 💻

Speakers: Tim Hyde & Farhad Malegam

The next 24 months will create the biggest divide in business since the internet went mainstream.

If you're drowning in manual tasks, struggling to scale without adding headcount, or feeling left behind by the AI revolution, this is your track. 🌊

What you'll get:

Tim Hyde and Farhad Malegam deliver the Future-Proof Framework—five stages that transform manual chaos into automated advantage:

• Digitise – Where are you still manual?

• Systemise – What processes must be repeatable?

• Automate – What tasks shouldn't humans do anymore? 🤖

• Augment with AI – Where can AI accelerate growth and decision-making?

• Measure & Optimise – What are your feedback loops and KPIs?

Live demonstrations:

• AI websites that qualify leads in real-time

• CRM automation that turns dormant data into booked calls 📞

• AI assistants that scale without adding headcount

Interactive worksheet:

You'll complete a 90-day implementation plan during the session:

• One process to systemise

• One automation to implement

• One AI tool to adopt ✔️

• Business outcomes tied to each

This isn't theory. It's a completed worksheet you can execute on November 28th.

Future-proofing isn't about tech. It's about protecting your business potential. 🛡️

Track 2: Mental Health & Business Resilience – Match Your Business to Your Biology 🧬

Speaker: Dr. Cam McDonald (CEO, Precision Health Alliance)Support: Michele Scherr

If you're feeling the burnout creep in, struggling with decision fatigue, or giving from an empty tank instead of overflow, this is your track.

The Problem:

Why do successful business operators often go through hell and flirt with burnout on their way to the top? 😓

Because they're working against their biology—following one behavioural model for success that works for less than 20% of us.

Traditional business advice treats all humans like machines:

• Work 8-12 hour days (regardless of your energy patterns)

• Push through stress (regardless of your stress response) 😤

• Optimize for productivity (regardless of your biological design)

Result? 60% of entrepreneurs report burnout. Success comes at the cost of health.

How We'll Fix It:

Dr. Cam McDonald reveals the six HealthTypes—and why you're probably operating as the WRONG type right now:

• ACTIVATOR – Initiates projects, thrives on variety, uses stress as fuel. Kryptonite: monotony. ⚡

• GUARDIAN – Protects and supports, longest stress tolerance. Kryptonite: disconnection from trusted circle.

• SENSOR – Strategic planner, heightened nervous system. Kryptonite: cold, noise, chaos. 🎯

• CRUSADER – Mission-driven, high mental endurance. Kryptonite: mental work without rest.

• DIPLOMAT – Finisher, considers all options, long-term focus. Kryptonite: urgency without warning.

• CONNECTOR – Relationship builder, social glue, multitasks brilliantly. Kryptonite: social disconnection. 🤝

The Critical Insight: 70% of business owners are operating as the type they're ACTING like, not the type they ARE.

What calms a Sensor will STRESS an Activator. What energizes a Connector will drain a Diplomat. Generic advice doesn't just fail—it actively harms your biology. ⚠️

Your Business Biology Blueprint:

You'll complete your personalised 30-day implementation plan during the session:

• Environment Design: Office setup, temperature, noise tolerance, social connection needs 🏢

• Schedule Restructuring: When to do demanding work based on YOUR energy windows, peak performance times, rest and recovery timing

• Recovery Protocols: Type-specific breaks, meal timing, movement, sleep requirements (7-9+ hours by type) 😴

• Rolling Work Intensity Model: Daily through annual cycles—peak windows, sprint periods, strategic planning phases

This isn't theory. It's your completed blueprint for sustainable, high-performance success.

The ROI of Biological Alignment:

When you map your business onto your biology:

• 20-45% productivity increase (depending on type) 📈

• 40-60% reduction in sick days

• 3.57x better decision quality

• 2-3x revenue growth over 5 years (sustainable trajectory) 💰

This is competitive advantage. This is the difference between burning out at $500K and sustaining growth to $2M. Between working 70-hour weeks and working 45 focused hours. Between forcing yourself through the day and operating in flow.

Your business should serve you, not burn you out.

You'll discover that the business you create can complement your mind-body connection, and your physiology will sense new abundance and build new resilience—all thanks to basic insights and frameworks that prevent burnout before it happens. ✨

Because when we master ourselves, we create flow and reduce resistance. Learn how to lead from overflow and avoid manifesting unnecessary physiological scarcity.

Track 3: Wealth Management & Cryptocurrency 💎

Speakers: Alessandro Borghi & Dan Lewis

If you're ready to future-proof your financial position, curious about crypto but unsure where to start, or wanting a clear 2026 wealth strategy, this is your track.

By combining your personal goals with your business strategy, you could gain an edge too few are leveraging to diversify and strengthen their financial status. 📊

You'll get:

• A 2026-ready wealth strategy framework

• The business case for cryptocurrency (without the hype, without the fear) 🪙

• Structured crypto adoption strategies

• How to diversify and protect your assets in a shifting economy

You don't need to become a crypto expert. You need a framework that integrates with your existing wealth strategy. ✅

Pick the track that solves your most urgent 2026 challenge. You'll get value from all three during the networking integration at the end, but your breakout track is where you get the deep-dive playbook. 📖

The Bonus You Didn't Expect 🎉

Why November 27th Matters 📅

We chose November 27th for a reason.

It's late enough in the year that you've felt the pain points. You know what didn't work in 2025. You're ready to make changes.
