For the Makers

DNA-Business is born

Make things better. Without regard for whether it’s going to work. This tribe will take you where you seek to go better than any other path you can follow. And while you’re engaging with everyone in this tribe, you’ll honour your potential and the support and kindness of everyone who came before you.

This is a place for people who seek to teach, to innovate, and, to solve interesting problems. For people like us.

It's possible. The people who came before us have managed to speak up, stand up, stand together, and make a difference.

This tribe is there if we're willing to sign up for it. And this tribe will open the door to the change you seek.

Alan and Candice’s creative and commercial skills met as their paths crossed in the management consulting fraternity of helping corporate companies grow and be better. They became aware of how un-human and static business had become.

With experience in both the creative domain and business, they decided they needed to be part of the change they weren’t seeing. They discovered that they weren’t alone in their dissatisfaction with the status quo of the business world. They used that initial motivation and inspiration, that original spark to try something new, for those they are most passionate about - you, the Creative Entrepreneur!

Candice Ruckstuhl

Having etched my career in helping businesses evolve by using human insights to drive business strategy, I took the leap to do things differently. I was bored and uninspired by the traditional way of business and colouring within the lines.

I wanted to get closer to helping the entrepreneur behind the business. I wanted to help solve their challenges in ways traditional business wouldn’t listen to. I wanted to really use rich insights from the inner workings of business to take business entrepreneurs and their dreams to the next level.

To design the best custom solutions to today’s business challenges. This real, transparent, honest and collaborative way of work is something fresh and far from the traditional business mold. It inspires, evokes change and promotes real impact. This became my purpose.

Alan Williams

I have never found comfort in fitting into how things are ‘supposed to be’. It was always clear to me that I was never going to fit in, and so entrepreneurialism and innovation was always my home and the creation of exceptional human experiences.

I continue to witness how a little imagination and a lot of hard work and persistence is how we truly make a dent in the universe. I am driven by a strong sense of empowering and inspiring people, listening closely, understanding what inspires them to reach their goals and figuring out their real business issues and ways to solve or innovate.

I promote new ways of work that are future fit for a changing world because empathy and creativity will change the world!
