The world is engineering away the conditions that produce its most effective people.

Anthony Owen spent nearly two years at sea on the HMAV Bounty, fifteen years in offshore yacht racing including the deadly 1998 Sydney to Hobart, and three decades building companies - from the early Australian internet to the ASX to raising capital in Los Angeles. The Opportunist connects those arenas into a single argument: the disposition that built countries and created industries is formed by consequence, not curriculum, and the window to be on the right side of what comes next is closing.

This is not a success story polished for a stage. Owen lost a company, backed the wrong people, got things wrong in ways he names directly. The book is an honest account of formation - what pressure, failure, and no clean exit actually produce when you stay in the game long enough.

Running beneath it all is a bloodline that includes the inventor of the Owen Gun, a Rat of Tobruk, and a travelling salesman from County Antrim who ended up at the table where the Australian Constitution was written. Four generations of the same disposition.

For readers of Shoe Dog, Barbarian Days, and The Hard Thing About Hard Things.
