Keep Going: Building Daily Habits & Scrum

Keep Going These days I am beyond the horror, drama, darkness of depression and I have dived fully into never getting there again. As a reader of this blog or my personal weekly email, you will have watched this unfold with both the joy and the crap. Habits and Comfort Zones My “deliberate practice” mega mission is to develop habits that will get me doing what matters. This made me identify the exit out of my real comfort zone. I thought my getting out my comfort zone was running fast, a co

For Me Community Is “All in”

I have been missing my blog. It went through this little phase where it became a shop front for our Trello course and that stopped me posting about my miserable little life. Except the stuff that people I care about also care about the little miserable musings I post, and these posts are the ones that are fun to write because they are from the heart and also offline these are the posts that instigate the most conversation, the stale crap I write never gets a connection. How does that content w

I Got 99 Problems But Depression Ain’t One

Over the holidays we spent a week in Poland with our friends, I was sick for a day when we arrived and sick for a day when we got back. Something happened in Poland, I love that place and I love our friends there dearly. I am wondering if a Polish Priest did a quick exorcism while I was having a plate of Gołąbki in the cafe on the town square. Ever since Poland, I have felt great. As you know my mental health got better and better last year, these past few months I have quantum leapt! For th

Bernie's Three Best Coworking Things To Do In London Every Week

A longstanding super power of mine has been getting people together, I am pretty sure 'networking' is over or maybe the people I hang out with to assign more purpose to their time. Either way, I want to get people together and do something other than slam tequila and fend off business cards.  Another factor is that my 'tribe' is a mix of people from freelancers, micro-businesses, big scary corporate jobs and everything in between, a unifying thing for them all are a lot of side projects.

90 Days of Massive Action #3

I have never ever ever ever ever tracked and reviewed what I do so deeply as I do now. Short post - I am making serious progress in my "days of massive action" quest. Longer Post It hurts when I miss something, fuck something up, feel shit, get low on energy, low on money, low on motivation and many other things. It hurts for a few seconds and then I know what to do. Mainly "what to do" is to keep moving, keep momentum and part of that means sitting still and meditating everyday. Making tim

My Cheeky Landing Page Question Stunt

I thought it was just me? I am quite sure that I am the ONLY person in iTunes who has thought of asking the listener what they'd like to ask the guest. So here is where the idea came from. The best panel events I have run have been Q&A all the way. I always had to get Andy Bargery to chair the panel as I'd end up laughing at my own jokes and get into arguments. Seeing people at events "pontificate" from the stage vs doing Q&A is always a closed deal for me - Q&A wins. This post by Gary V a

Three Stories That Pissed Me Off This Week

A couple of the things that piss me off in the world are manipulation and outright greed. As you know I am a huge fan of tribes, communities and collaborations. Somewhere in a Stephen Covey book about ten years ago I read a line about about being interconnected and interdependent - it was what I had always - and I mean always - been hacking to evangelize to people. That is a fucking dangerous word "evangelize" and immediately makes me think of Catholic Ships arriving on a beach in North Afric

Failure + Time. The Inches Are All Around Us

It is scary the inches between thought and action. I mean it has never been a strong point for me but now I have fine tuned how I track things and I am it scares me how often things just miss the ship point. I often talk about how nice the 48 people were who lent their insight to my "Bernie Superpower questionnaire" (inspired by Christina Canters) - the part that I glossed over and has come up from more than one person I have collaborated with is about - my reliability.

90 Days of Massive Action #2 (Prequel)

Mandela was pacing the room, he was forced to walk in circles around the small conference table in the middle of the meeting room at 90 Mainyard. Ghandi was drawing on the white board in between a mind map the developers had left and the business canvas the musicians had left, to Mandela's annoyance Ghandi was making faces and animals. Nelson, this one could be a swastika if I rubbed out the number 2 said Ghandi with a cheeky smile. Why are you so annoyed today? It is not good for your brand i
