Hey there,
I’m Peter Swain.

From Building the Web to Leading the AI Revolution
Before Internet Explorer even existed, I was building websites. Today, I’m helping businesses unlock the transformative power of AI. My journey spans over 25 years, through three major technological revolutions—web, mobile, and now AI. This wasn’t luck. It’s about recognizing patterns and asking the right question: “Why is this change happening?”
Every technological shift has brought massive opportunities. But success doesn’t come to those with the most tools; it comes to those who understand how to use them strategically.
HERE'S WHAT I'M CERTAIN OF...
The Power of AI Transformation
Ready For Real Growth?
Regardless of where your business stands today, AI can become the catalyst to achieve those ambitious goals because it isn't just another tool you use...
AI enablement embodies what your business is and what it can become.
It's a fundamental shift in how you operate.
It's a business accelerator, a growth multiplier, a competitive advantage.
AI transforms everything and you can leverage it to scale anything.
Let me explain why...
I've seen businesses try to sprinkle AI on top of broken processes. That's like putting a Ferrari engine in a golf cart. It might sound impressive, but it won't get you where you need to go.
The real power comes when you understand that AI isn't something you do - it's how you think about growth itself.
Two Decades of Turning Digital Disruption into Growth
The Pattern Behind Tech Evolution
In my experience, every technological shift follows an identical pattern of disruption and opportunity. I've seen this play out in 1,400+ projects across web, mobile, and now AI.
Throughout 25+ years in digital transformation:
Led 1,400+ successful digital projects
Partnered with global brands like Apple, Microsoft, and Google
Built and sold multiple successful companies
Became an international bestselling author
Featured on NBC and major media outlets
But here's what really matters - every success taught me that technology is just a tool. The real power lies in how we use it.
I'M ARDENTLY DEDICATED TO...
Turning Disruption Into Growth
That's why my enduring passion lies in creating exceptional communities.
Here’s what I’ve learned about growth through three decades of evolution:
1. Technology amplifies results, but only when used right. It’s not about doing more; it’s about doing what works.
2. Understanding ‘why’ creates breakthroughs. Businesses that triple their output focus on strategy over tactics.
3. Success follows patterns. Whether it’s Apple or a growing startup, the principles of growth are universal.
What I Know About Business Transformation
Through 25 years of digital evolution, I've discovered what actually drives business growth. From early web to AI, the pattern is clear: Success leaves clues.
Here's what works:
First, technology amplifies results, but only if you know how to use it. At ROAI Mastermind, we turn complex AI into simple, actionable growth strategies.
Second, understanding 'why' creates breakthroughs that chasing 'how' never will. I've seen businesses triple their output by getting this right.
Third, transformation isn't theoretical - it's practical. Whether it's Apple, Microsoft, or growing startups, the principles remain the same: Focus on impact, not implementation.
Revamping Lives. One Narrative at a Time.

Someone the other day asked Liz why we were playing small.
It's played on my mind for a week. Here's what I think they maybe missing ...
Dear Olivia & Sam,
It’s May 25th, 2025. You might remember the day.
Steve flew in from Canada. We shipped you both off to my Mums, under strict instructions not to give you sugar. So naturally, Steve handed over Yoda and Chewie PEZ dispensers just as you were leaving. Classic parenting. 🙂
It’s been a profound weekend.
On Thursday, I thought I was just teaching AI. That was the plan after all. But the more Steve, Mummy and I talked, the more it became clear: we weren’t just running a mastermind - we were building a lifeboat.
A place for people who feel like the world’s moving too fast.
A place where failing isn’t a flaw—it’s the proof you’re in the arena.
A place where AI isn’t the enemy—it’s the oxygen mask.
Because the truth, my minions, is this: the world is teetering. You’re both too young for the full story (and that’s a blessing). You still believe that a kiss on the forehead and a cuddle can make monsters go away. You still think Mummy and Daddy can stare down the dark and win.
God, I hope you’re right.
Because when you’re old enough to read this, you’ll know: the game is changing. Capitalism—at least the version we’ve lived in—is wobbling. AI is ripping through the job market faster than we can retrain people. The loop’s breaking. Fewer people have money to buy the things others are trying to sell. It’s not sustainable. The next five years are going to be brutal.
And honestly? I’m terrified.
We brought you into a world that’s disappearing like quicksand. And I keep asking myself: when you’re older, how are you going to find meaning? What’s going to make you feel proud? Fulfilled? Useful?
I was at dinner the other night and a woman said to me,
“Sounds like you’re staring down a tidal wave with a seaside bucket.”
She wasn’t wrong.
But I looked her in the eye and said,
“When your kids are on the beach, what the fuck else would you have me do?”
So here I am. Bucket in hand. Building something that might—just might—help.
And I hope that one day you read this, and you see the truth:
I was gathering people. People who gave a damn.
People willing to stand up, show up, and fix what’s broken.
People who wanted to pick up a bucket and stand next to me.
Because humanity is fucking awesome.
And it's worth fighting for.
Love you more than you’ll ever know,
Dad
