Adam Radly
Writer and Filmmaker in Santa Monica, California
Philosopher. Philanthropist. Entrepreneur.
Philosophy: While helping a village in Africa, I invented the world’s first open source philosophy and wrote a book about it.
Philanthropy: I created an event called World Reconciliation Day where I spent the day with Nelson Mandela and my company had grown big enough to be able to donate $1 million to his charity.
Entrepreneurship: I grew my digital media company from nothing to a $50M IPO, raised $120 million for companies (where I was owner, CEO), completed more than 20 acquisitions.
My Tedx Talk about passion has more than 1 million views.

More about me below:
Adam is a serial entrepreneur from Melbourne that also spent more than a decade living in Los Angeles. Almost 20 years ago Adam founded a digital media company with nothing (started as Mediacom, the after numerous mergers ended up as Staging Connections), grew the company with a combination of startups and acquisitions and completed a $50 million IPO all while being the CEO and largest shareholder.
Then he moved to California for more than 10 years where he established S7 Group - an incubator and fund that develops tech startups and acquires tech companies in the $1-20 million enterprise value range. Adam has raised a combined $120 million in Australia, the United States, Hong Kong and the UK for businesses where he was the CEO and controlling shareholder, completed more than 20 acquisitions (all as a principal) and established numerous startups.
Adam is mostly focused on the “I Imagine” project - a platform that allows people to crowdsource solutions to the world’s biggest (or smallest) problems and will soon offer tools that will help micro entrepreneurs to succeed while maximizing their impact.
Adam is also a big advocate of making Australia an independent country and recently established the Australian Independence Movement (AIM 2020) which is pushing for a five point referendum in 2020 that will allow Australians to vote to become independent from the UK, change the Australian Flag, change the date of Australia, remove racism from the constitution and recognize indigenous Australians in the constitution.
