Flynn began his journey into the business world at the young age of sixteen, starting an entertainment business to coincide with his new found passion for DJing. As he began to make a name for himself in the music world the business pushed forward with him. This allowed him to realise the importance of having the correct business and marketing strategies in place to gain a competitive advantage.
After high school Flynn went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Business at Griffith University on the Gold Coast while still continuing to grow his Flynnsane DJ business. Majoring in Marketing and Digital Writing, Flynn was able to grasp a strong understanding of the strategic aspects of business and the design tools necessary to implement them.
No idea is too crazy for Flynn; his positive outlook and outside of the box thinking often leads him to finding that perfect solution.
