I live to bring people together; loneliness is an epidemic, and communities are the cure. I love to meet people and understand their interests and ideas. Building communities is the best way to scale meeting interesting people. The cherry on top is the reward of seeing others benefit from a network I have built.

Communities

Matcha Monday

2022 - Present • matchamonday.net

Every Monday at 8am for the past 2 years, a small group of terminally online (mostly X users) gather to start the week together. What started as a few friends has grown to a group chat of 200+ members, with 5-30 people showing up each week. It's become this beautiful ritual where internet strangers become genuine friends.

AusBuilders

2022 - Present • ausbuildors.liamz.co

Started this as Australia's biggest builder community. Now 300+ members who gather monthly to share what they're building. We've hosted everyone from AI pioneers to DeFi founders. The magic happens in the conversations after the presentations, when people find their collaborators.
