Hello, I'm Sian Simpson, founder of Bountifull, a platform devoted to uncovering and sharing the richness of living a bountiful life. Having navigated significant personal adversities alongside professional successes, my journey is marked by resilience and an unyielding passion for growth and understanding. From a young age on my family’s farm in rural New Zealand to my roles at the heart of the global tech community in San Francisco, London, and Singapore, and now living on 20 acres in Central Otago, New Zealand, my life has been a tapestry of vibrant experiences, profound hardships, and deep learning.

My professional path has spanned several continents and roles—from leading Kiwi Landing Pad, which connected New Zealand technology companies with global opportunities, to interviewing the worlds best most innovative founders at SaaStr, to founding Public Rally, a community-building agency, and then taking on leadership roles in numerous technology firms, most recently in the Generative AI space. This work has enabled me to embrace what many call the ‘suitcase lifestyle,’ traveling to over 60 countries, each enriching my understanding of the world and myself. Despite my global experiences, my roots in New Zealand remain a grounding force, reminding me of the simple joys that help me live my best and most fulfilled life.

A bountiful life for me is living in harmony with the land, you'll often find me gardening, taking that produce and turning it into delicious and healthy food, or whipping up some cocktails which I share on my instagram every Friday, i'm also an avid hiker and outdoor enthusiast and spend most weekends in camping in the mountains regardless of whether its summer or winter. Friends and family also mean a great deal to me. 

Life has not been without its challenges. The early loss of close family members, including my father, and friends to suicide introduced me to the stark realities of mental health challenges, shaping my advocacy and commitment to mental wellness. These experiences deeply influenced my decision to start Bountifull, born from a desire to help others navigate the complexities of modern living—financial pressures, mental health, relationships, wellbeing, health issues, stress, anxiety and the pursuit of joy and peace.

At Bountifull, we explore these themes through diverse stories of resilience, creativity, innovation, and connection. It’s not just about survival, but about thriving; discovering joy in everyday moments and the grand adventures of life. Whether through our podcast, digital content, or simple conversations, Bountifull is a place to learn, share, and grow together.

As we look to the future, I am dedicated to continuing this dialogue, enriching our understanding and fostering a community where everyone can find their version of a bountiful life. Join us on this journey, and let's discover what it truly means to live fully, with joy, purpose, and meaningful contribution.

With joy, 

Sian
