Trevor Farmer built and ran a highly profitable Veterinary practice for 14 years in North Queensland.

Realising that the stress of working 60 hours a weeks to maintain the business was affecting his ability to see his children grow up, he sold the practice, retired, and built a series of sales distribution networks that gave him both time with his family and a six figure income.

For more than 30 years, Trevor has studied the principles of ‘Unbreakable Success’ and introspective leadership through various avenues and has successfully coached others - including world-class athletes and people with severe medical impairments, through his transformational mentoring.

The culmination of all this work resulted in co-founding Topcatz - now Living Courageously - with Juliane Cowan and presenting their signature live and on-line program -- ‘The Unbreakable Success Matrix’.


Trevor is the co-author, along with Juliane of The Last 1% and Nail It! which are both now in audiobook formats, narrated superbly by the authors!

It's Trevor's' fierce love for people that is at the heart of his ability to help people transform themselves and their organisations and he chats about all this and a lot more in this episode of The Simone Feiler Podcast.
