Me, the whole me and nothing but the me. An experiment in self expression and vulnerability.
A ramble on a ramble about mental health, book progress and selling stuff
The mixed pond closes tomorrow for the winter and yet it’s still sunny and hot. In other news I return to the 3 motivators following a post this week on adliterate
Feeling good as we run into Christmas with time and space to think about stuff. And in particular how difficult I’ve found it to think genuinely new and difficult thoughts.
Reflections on a gig I did this week on unconscious bias in advertising
I swam today in the men’s pond for the first time ever. Mainly because it’s so damn hot today. Got me thinking about the role of challenge and adventure in our lives
Not for the faint hearted, a right old meander physically and verbally though kings cross and grays inn.
Why I’m singing, why I’m enjoying singing and the tantalising thought of being able to say ‘I can sing’
A walk from Soho to Chancery Lane got me talking about small wins and just the right amount of return on preparation
Live from South Milton sands, I think I might have got the cold water swimming bug.

Don’t change your life forever, run a few experiments in things you’d like to see change the. Be super observant about the results you see. Much easier!

A review/reflection on last night's Walkshop
Off to do a Walkshop with Street Wisdom tonight so previewing that and my biography for September on Kipling has arrived and its a monster.
A little bit of emotional soul searching stuff about feeling down at the end of my holiday and why I feel in a much better space today. But more importantly an exploration of the importance of meeting and exceeding a client’s ambition. Plus how a great meeting is a bit of an emotional game changer!
First cast in a while and no great shakes but felt good to do.
The second cast of the day and a gentle of slightly morose meditation on how hard it is to actually feel present
Stay with this there is good stuff amongst the shit. Especially a physical and mental well-being equivalent of the ‘profit first’ idea from Mike Michalowicz
Does ageing fight happiness in early life and facilitate it when you get older. Plus I lose the dog and panic! Please note the sound quality is terrible in the first section of the podcast.
Contemporary dance, not drinking and more of ROP - the return on preparation
Summer in the city and the progress of my talking to yourself project
Saturday mumblings about being in the moment, curiosity and not delivering an outcome
How frustrating I was just settling into a rant and a phone call cut off the podcast recording.
Off to give a talk I have prepared for but not in the over the top way I normally do. Proof will be in the pudding
The bitter sweet taste of solitude when it exposes the facts of not living with your kids
