Another one of the many famous projects he has been involved in is the all-time bestselling book in Australian history, “The Barefoot Investor”, as well as the other #1 national bestseller “The Barefoot Investor for Families”.

These massive book launch successes were then quickly followed by the notable campaign that set the new Australian publishing record for a pre-launch (120,000 copies) and propelled the book “Barefoot Kids” to instant #1 national bestselling status as well.
