About Us

The Driven Young Journey

We’re Driven Young.

And we’re obsessed with helping people build better lives through connection, clarity, and personal growth.

It started with a podcast.

Back in 2019, Byron launched the Driven Young Podcast — a space to explore the stuff we should’ve learned growing up:

How to build strong friendships.

How to find purpose.

How to deal with anxiety, failure, loneliness, burnout.

How to actually live a meaningful life in your 20s.

That podcast reached millions of people.

And what we kept hearing was this:

“I feel so alone.”

“No one talks about this in real life.”

“I just want real friends and a sense of direction.”

So we decided to do something about it.

We Started Bringing People Together

At first, it was community programs, social events and persoanl development weekends.

Workshops. Social events. Over 1000 young people showing up in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane.

Then we ran our first retreat.

And everything changed.

Phones down.

Walls down.

Real conversations.

Real growth.

Strangers becoming best mates in a matter of days.

It was raw. It was challenging. It was powerful.

And it worked.

What We Do Now

We run transformative retreats for young people — and for founders, fathers and sons, and more.

Our experiences are designed to:

Help you reconnect with who you are
Surround you with people who actually see you
Push you physically, emotionally, and mentally
Leave you clearer, stronger, and more grounded than ever before

We don’t do surface-level.

We don’t do spa days.

We create spaces for people to feel, to heal, and to build friendships that last a lifetime.

Over 1,200 people have come through our programs.

And we have a mission to bring the best people together, and create the best space for them to be themselves, reset and renergise

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm Byron

I started Driven Young to create a space for young people to connect and grow. Over the years we have worked with over 1200 like minded people from all walks of life.

Driven Young retreats is a unique combination of personal development, creating deep connections and adventure.

My goal is to push you physically, mentally and emotionally. Our retreats are not a holiday, every hour is designed by me to ensure our members get the most out of this experience.

The Team

We have a small team of trusted high performers who have been with us for many years. However each retreat has different people, helping with content, leading and more. Everyone is passionate and dedicated.
