In 1999, Guy commenced a Graduate Diploma in Marine Science at James Cook University (JCU) in Townsville. He sat one subject, Fisheries Science, and then went on to work with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority in their GIS department.

Queensland University of Technology

Between 2015 and 2022, Guy studied a Masters of Business at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia.

Guy began the masters majoring in finance, and later changed this to philanthropy & non-profit studies. Coursework included:

Integrated Marketing & Communication
Leadership & Executive Coaching
Financial Markets and Institutions
Public Relations Management
Public Relations Campaigns
Media Strategy
Self Leadership
Digital Strategy

Doing the masters was a great experience, but Guy came away from the process deeply disappointed that not once in the program did anyone mention the climate and ecological crisis.

One of the executives at the QUT Business School told him, “If you want to learn about sustainable business, go to Griffith University.” True story.

Landmark Forum

In 2005 Guy attended the Landmark Forum in Sydney, a three-day intensive personal development program that has been running in one form or another since the 1970s.

A month later, Guy returned to Sydney to attend the Landmark Advanced course. And in 2010, Guy did the Landmark Forum again.

The Landmark forum is part of the appropriately named Curriculum for Living and offers a powerful suite of tools to help in personal direction-finding, communication and truth-seeking.
