So every so often you (I mean me) end up between a rock and a hard place. It’s the old chicken and egg scenario. You have an idea and it needs funding but you can’t prove the idea until you have the funding. It is at this point people with no imagination go home. Then […]
Working out loud Part 6. Doubling Down On Podcasting
So Bernie where is your head for this week? 1. Blogging and Podcasting I have decided to double down even harder on ONLY podcasting – to stop fiddling around with all the other ‘stuff’ like breathing, eating and my family. It seems to me I spend more time thinking about my blog than I do […]
50 #sharingeconomy coffees in London
This is the formula I have been looking for. I want to put my balls on the line in a decent way. I am no longer feeling depressed and crushed I have suddenly become a balanced and realistic human being. The last few years of depression have taught me when to say no, when to […]
So where were we Dad?
I was thinking about blogging about how shit my day has been. Who would want to read that? You would so I’ll carry on. Getting a child out the house in the morning has got to be one of the hardest things in the world. Even if I put a pile of chocolate and Spiderman […]
That is it for email!
I have stopped email on my phone. Aren’t I cool? No, really let me explain. I have been trying to pluck up the balls to stop using and relying on email for years. Of course it is a great tool etc. etc. But I just can’t resist checking it every five minutes and also sharing […]
My Bulletproof #LondonMarathon 2016
So I had to admit defeat when it came to training for the London Marathon and the race itself. Rather than walk around looking like a woman on the verge of nervous breakdown for the next six weeks I bit the bullet and admitted it was not to going happen this time. I called my […]
Natalie Bennett: Daring Greatly and always in #Beta
Natalie Bennett dived on Radio yesterday so of course she can’t be Prime Minister. Off with her head! She is meant to be shaping up to pitch to run the country, changing society and challenging the status quo. She can’t even speak. The guy interviewing her LOVED it, his perverse radio glee was so ripe […]
A day in the life of Bernie
Of course this would be much more interesting for you to read if I was mud wrestling with Hilary Clinton or had just released a new tune with Bruno Mars. My life is pretty mundane so the last thing you need to do is think I am showing off in this blog post. I enjoy […]
Losing my religion?
That’s me in the corner….. I have been thinking why things annoy me. Most of the time people don’t really set out to annoy me – I get annoyed with them. Then I get upset and they will never know. If you think about it you are flattering yourself if you think people sit around […]
What do you most know about #blogging Bernie?
What do you most know about blogging Bernie? Is a question I am never asked. If I was an industry expert and was ‘often’ asked that question I’d be able to start this blog by saying ‘I am often asked by my clients…’ I have to say by this stage of the game it is […]
Why blogs beat podcasts….
I had to stop listening to podcasts. Every time listened to one I would copy something said into my own podcast. I craved to be part of the podcasting gang. “I listened to your episode”was what I thought podcasters would expect me so say. This meant I listened to every episode just in case they […]
Why I’m not a writer – YET
Ramsey has a blog post by Blog Tyrant that I make myself go back to every so often. “Why you are not a writer” is a list of what we do instead of writing. That list of important things like ‘getting set up to write’ that take longer to get ready than actual writing. I […]
Why are you so quiet Bernie?
It is not I have gone into a coma, it is that I feel significantly more relaxed and when I don’t feel relaxed I meditate – some times the gap between being ‘edgy’ and un-relaxed is a little larger than I’d like. One of the best things about 90 Mainyard is the HUGE Olympic Park […]
What on earth am I doing on this blog?
If I wrote out all the amazing ideas, strategy and content in my head for this blog on napkins they’d surely make a pile big enough to cushion the landing of a small elephant from falling from space. Please don’t ask how an elephant got up there in the first place. Anyway, I digress. And […]
Write as I am.
So here how the day goes. Or rather how my writing goes. What I think I mean is “how my writing does not go.” This time I am aware of it. I wake up, I POWER out cutting edge prose on 750words.com and then get ready for something. Does not matter what, it involves trying […]
