Well, Dave Hand has definitely been keeping busy since his time on MAFS Australia. He didn’t find true love, but he did find a whole load of social media followers. Dave is one of the most followed MAFS Australia 2025 cast members. He’s had a total personality transplant, and is posting all over the internet about wellbeing and fitness and gratitude and whatnot. Dave has a very surprising career change in mind. Here’s a closer look at Dave’s deeply unexpected wellness influencer era after MAFS Australia.

He’s constantly posting pictures of him shirtless in the gym, shirtless on hikes, or shirtless at the beach. Dave appears to be very fond of inspirational quotes, reflections on fitness regimes, and overly philosophical musings on his dog. He wrote about his pet: “He’s more than just a dog he’s a reminder of who I’ve always been and the love that has always been there.” I’m confused.

Now, it’s normal for reality TV contestants to sign up to talent agencies. You’ve got to cash in on those skincare deals and paid club appearances while people still remember who you are, right? But Dave seems to have set his sights on a loftier aim than just being an influencer. When the talent agency signed him, they announced: “Dave is taking strides to move beyond the MAFS brand, establishing himself as an emerging media personality, keynote speaker and content creator.”

Yup, you read that correctly. “Keynote speaker”.

Dave confirmed to Yahoo that he plans to become a motivational speaker. He said: ““I’m very excited to be taking this next step. We have a bunch of fun projects planned for the future, and I very much look forward to what this next chapter might be.

“I’m an open book and am up for anything, but going on MAFS made me even more eager to promote mental health, so I’m sure that will be something me and my team will focus on when branching out for keynote speaker opportunities.”

It remains unclear what exactly Dave will speak so motivationally about. How to give women mixed singles? How to ghost a girl you lived with for three months?  How not to care that your ex is dating someone else?
