WE ARE
PROFESSIONAL
WEIRDOS.

The genesis of Professional Weirdos sits with our founder, Simon Jacobs. Shortly after leaving his high-flying but incredibly dull corporate job, he was in hot pursuit of a more fulfilling and enjoyable life. His corporate role was the envy of colleagues and impressed his parents, but it stunted his creativity, stressed him out, and he just didn't enjoy it.

Prior to that, he'd been involved in a string of successful businesses and projects, all utilising his creativity and status-quo-challenging mindset way more than any corporate job ever could. He wanted to get back to that way of life, and remembered how people would often ask him how he achieved, thought of and created the things he did.

Then, during a catch-up with a friend, the lightbulb moment happened: "Simon, you're a 'bit weird', but I think it's a massive factor in your success to date. Understand it, formulate it and bottle it. There's a lot of value in it!" He left that chat with jubilation and excitement, and realised there was an opportunity to help others recognise their inner weirdness, embrace it, and work it.

We exist to break that cycle. Not by rejecting structure, but by designing structures where creativity can thrive inside. We believe it is possible, and important, for people to be successful in whatever they desire, and enjoy their lives at the same time. We aim to help people remember, realise and recognise this.
