2026 Update from Jack Alderton

G’day!

It’s been a few years since I’ve sent an email out to my list, so I thought now would be a great time to connect with you again exclusively, away from public social media posts or new videos on the channel.

If you haven’t got an email from me before, it means you’ve booked a call with me in the last 6 months - so don’t worry, this is just an irregular check-in & update. If you’d like to not receive any further emails, please let me know, or unsubscribe below. No hard feelings!

So what have I been up to, and what’s next for 2026?

Malaysia, Australia & beyond…

December was a massive breakthrough month. I spent 30 days in the Philippines, ended up in the hospital twice, and spent 10 days meditating in silence in the jungle.

January so far has been an adventure with Prince Court (the #1 hospital in Kuala Lumpur) to get my tonsils removed. I’m about a week away from a full recovery, and working on a video about the whole experience.

Healthcare in Malaysia (and abroad in general) is an incredibly important topic, and I like to turn my setbacks into blessings when I can to help others. So please let me know if you have any questions or if there’s anything specific you’d like me to address in the upcoming hospital experience video.

The meditation experience also deserves its own video, so I’m working on that in the background as well - it’s called ‘Vipassana’, and I can’t wait to share it, as it was one of the best things I’ve done in my life.

Now.. what’s next?

I’ll be releasing a series of videos about quitting my job in Malaysia and transitioning to a ‘retired early’ / ‘digital nomad’ exploration, with KL remaining my part-time base.

Expect more videos about finances (now that I can talk more freely), exploring other countries in the region (Vietnam is likely next), some occasional Australia content (& Western commentary), but most importantly, living a better life of freedom and maximising these opportunities while I have the chance.

As part of this next phase, I’ve helped launch a Digital Nomad community with one of my best mates. It’s exclusive, invite-only, and only for serious travellers, nomads, entreprenuers and genuinely high-quality men (no women yet, unfortunately!)

It’s purposely not for everyone, but if it resonates and you think it would be a fit, please apply - I’d personally love to see you in there. We currently have 7 more free spots available.

Beyond that, I’ll be focusing on a new set of fitness goals, having found a new passion for Hyrox training and competition, which I'd like to kick off later this year when I recover and get back to my best.

I’d also like to have a kid, but let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves…

Because right now I’m rugged up at home recovering from my operation, so I’d love to hear from YOU.

How’s your 2026 going?

How are your plans to visit or live in Malaysia?

What content would you love to see from me?

I’ll make sure to read all your replies.

I hope you have a wonderful year and all the best with everything.

Sincerely,

Jack Alderton
