Turning Complex Ideas into Clear, Actionable Insights
At Random Thought, I explore the crossroads where finance, property investment, leadership, technology, and creative storytelling meet. My mission is simple: to make complex topics clear, practical, and inspiring — whether you’re building a property portfolio, leading a team, or uncovering the hidden beauty of Australia through photography.
The Story Behind Random Thought
I’m Michael, a Specialist Sales Manager, property investor, and creative entrepreneur with over two decades in finance, governance, and strategic sales. Alongside my corporate career, I’ve built a parallel life as a photographer and storyteller, capturing everything from aviation and motorsport to the quiet charm of regional Australia.
Random Thought began as a place to share practical strategies and creative perspectives. Over time, it’s grown into a trusted resource for readers who want to think differently, act strategically, and see the bigger picture.
