Educate, Entertain and Inspire.... #LLBS

I am so knee deep editing blog and podcast content that today's #LLBS update is running behind.

I was thinking about the things that have inspired me and what the point of the whole shebang is, Bill Hicks has always made me think and there are more links to people below.

This is what popped in my head right now so I dived into Publicate to drag it out and share with you here.

Since I started spending more time on engagingpeople.wpengine.com I have noticed the people I really pay attention to in life and online are the people who share how they do things rather than "what I should be doing" these people include Brene Brown, Paul Jarvis, Jon Buscall through to companies like Buffer, Gimlet Media and CopyBlogger. Look out for the 'what does it mean to be a Showrunner?' below.

When I ran #TAGtribe the twitter bio was "Connections, collaborations & making ideas happen Forum, mastermind groups & The Late Late Breakfast Show Serial net-workers need not apply" 

#TAGtribe set out to be a community where people helped each other out, in fact the core members still meet up to this day and do their own thing. This is waaayy better than any pay check or bullshit membership fee. I am convinced that when you create something, give it away and it keeps growing without you the magic is done.

That is why I like the idea of a community around a podcast rather than a 'group' - however if I had never been on the four year #TAGtribe journey I would not have learnt 3/4's of what I have done about people, community and the internet.

Excuse me, Showrunner Bernie? This is the description that resonates with me the most at this moment in time. (As I sit here joyfully and enthusiastically hacking my keyboard beating out blog and podcast content for you!) Enjoy:

Falling off the toilet.

This became funny when my mate Thom reminded me that Elvis had died on the toilet. I am never sure why toilets and dying are funny. They always make me smile and when used on direct conjunction with each other I laugh out loud. If that does not make you smile hopefully my "Iggy Pop" impression in the photo will. So where was I? I was in the bathroom and then shortly after that I was in the Accident and Emergency Room at our local hospital. I'd been driven there by Sonia and Pete in their amb

Falling Towards Argentina #01

I was air drumming to INXS 'Devil Inside' very loudly and getting worried that my trousers would not make it through the day. The September sun was pouring in the window and I was really excited as I had just been invited to join this thing called "Gmail" - Oh and I was going to marry the girl I'd met in Krakow in February and then asked her to marry me when we were in Rome in April and here we were in Buenos Aires about to leave her mother's apartment and get married. This was not how people

Should You Close or Keep Marketing Your Coworking Space Over the Holidays?

The Case for Taking a Holiday Break For coworking space operators in London, December is often a month of tough decisions. With the festive season in full swing, many wonder: “Should we shut down and take a break or keep pushing our marketing and communications to stay visible?” While closing and switching off for the holidays is tempting, there’s a compelling case for staying active — especially in a city where self-employed workers and freelancers rarely switch off entirely. Here’s a break
