About Us
How Joya Life was created
One crisp morning in Rose Bay, Sydney, Max was out dragon boat training, a new hobby he’d taken up to keep him grounded and energised. As he helped pull the boat from the water, he spotted a familiar face walking past: Grant, an old friend. They exchanged a wave and agreed to catch up properly the following week.
Over coffee, their conversation quickly turned from casual updates to a deeper discussion about purpose, challenges, and business. Max shared his mission to change the lives of one million families positively. It was a bold goal he had been working on for some time, but the project hadn’t scaled as he had hoped.
