Ray Good

In the early 90s, Ray Good (aka Sugar Ray) was one of the world’s Top 100 DJs, spinning the decks at sold-out raves in London, Tokyo, and Berlin and running dance parties for thousands of people.
It was a wild ride, but life as a globe-trotting DJ doesn’t leave much time for sleep or inner tranquillity, burning out Ray turned to mindfulness meditation and has had a daily practice ever since.
As the founder of The Good Place, Ray Good is on a mission to create a more mindful world and help fight the global mental health crisis. Ray teaches mental fitness, high performance and mindfulness grounded in neuroscience and positive psychology to help individuals, teams and organisations fight stress, think better and perform at their peak.
Over the past 29 years Ray has had a daily meditation practice, taking him on a journey travelling the globe and learning from the world’s leaders in mindfulness, meditation and neuroscience.
During the COVID-19 crisis Ray has helped many of Australia’s biggest companies look after their team’s mental & emotional wellbeing and navigate the current work climate through his virtual workshops and keynotes.
His clients have included Tourism Australia, The Victorian Government, Tennis Australia, RACV, Macquarie bank, Westpac, Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, Meridian Energy, Gelato Messina, Carsales and Nova Entertainment to name a few.
