Building Financial Literacy Through Real Experience
We started orohativoihero because too many people were getting lost in complex financial theory without understanding how it actually works in practice.
The Beginning
Started with a simple observation — most financial education felt disconnected from real-world decision making. We began developing our approach in Newcastle, focusing on practical analysis rather than theoretical concepts that don't translate to actual business situations.
Method Development
Spent two years refining our teaching methodology. We discovered that people learn financial analysis better when they work with real scenarios from day one. This insight shaped everything we do — no abstract examples or hypothetical cases.
Community Growth
Our approach started resonating with small business owners and professionals across Australia. Word spread about practical sessions that actually helped people make better financial decisions in their work and personal lives.
Looking Ahead
We're expanding our programs for late 2025 and early 2026. The focus remains the same — teaching financial analysis skills that people can use immediately, not concepts they'll forget next week.
How We Actually Teach
Our approach differs from traditional financial education in several key ways. We don't start with theory and hope it sticks. Instead, we begin with real situations people encounter.
Real-World Context
Every lesson uses actual business scenarios. Cash flow problems, investment decisions, budget planning — the stuff you deal with regularly.
Immediate Application
You practice with your own numbers and situations. By the end of each session, you've analyzed something relevant to your actual circumstances.
Progressive Building
We start with basics that make sense, then build complexity gradually. No overwhelming information dumps or theoretical deep dives.
Who We Are
Two educators who got tired of financial training that didn't help people in their actual jobs and businesses.
Zebulon Thorne
Lead Financial Educator
Spent fifteen years watching smart people struggle with financial decisions because they'd learned theory instead of practical analysis. Developed our core methodology after seeing too many consultants give advice that sounded impressive but didn't work in practice.
Nerissa Wakefield
Curriculum Development Specialist
Brings experience from small business consulting and a talent for explaining complex concepts in ways that actually stick. Focuses on making sure our programs address real challenges people face, not textbook scenarios.
