Getting it all in.

As #Babybernie has grown up I have shouted "focus" at him when he was doing things like learning to eat with a fork for the first time or was holding onto the sofa to try and walk. This killer comedy line has come back to bite me in the arse. The arse bite happened at the Rural Hub in Italy at the OuiShare summit, every time I was presenting a project or suggesting something in front of the community - yes in those precious moments when everyone is obligated to at least look like they were lis

It's All About Me

So that did not work. Well it did. A bit. I am sitting here thinking that everything has added up to this point and I am glad. There are some cuts and bruises but everything is awesome and I am not even part of a team. WARNING: I am writing this at 100 miles an hour on a phone and it is brain dump rather than a work of art - sorry! There was confusion and a block and something did not feel right. I blame the meditation and the bulletproof coffee. I mapped out my miserable little life and al

Do the work (slight return)

What is that Publicate thing? At least three people have asked me in the last few hours. Then last week as I hurriedly threw together my newsletter for the 20th time in Publicate,I thought I'd mention it, mainly as Chris, the founder, is a mate and also is launching the paid product after getting funding and two years of being Beta / pre-revenue - or whatever you Old Street kids call it these days. I did what any dumb marketer would do and mentioned it in my newsletter without context and the

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

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 at

Whenever I feel like writing I lie down until the feeling goes away.... (NOT!)

So I have been reading and reading and reading and reading and now I know too much. So I have to be killed. Well that is how it feels in my head. I have just whipped out my ipad to write this blog as a way of getting started writing today. All that is needed is to just write then everything will be great. If I go back and clean the bathroom again or tidy the sock drawer I will end the day hating myself all over again. You could ask me to talk about the message of the three blogs I need to wri

Get Your Shit Together Mitchell.

So reader I married him. Tweet me back if you know the book that line is from. (If you are in London, I'll buy you a BulletProof coffee and you can ask me anything.) I can never decide where to start and that is the issue. I thought if I nicked someone else line it would at least get me started and it looks like it has. I had a big pile of stuff, you know interviews with Matthew MacStravic and Ali from LiftShare, Emily and even Seth Godin. I could not get the intro and the outro and Jon sai

Am I Really a Successful Blogger?

This is going somewhere, please stick with me. So doing the working out loud thing is become more solid for me. Posting what ‘one’s blog’ is making is a daring way of making it work and offering something for people to follow and hopefully collaberate and chip in with advice and comments too. I am going to work on a deeper integration with my Mailchimp email tribe this is the place I have been working on the longest and where my longest, but not always my deepest relationships are. It all st

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 acting on it and also I am not podcasting from it like I could - I am so scared that I won't have an audience that I don't even bother. Even though I have an audience already and then I remembered my 50 Coffe

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 go home and what to eat turning me into an invigorated 'thing' that is loving making a ruckus in 2015. My love for my Wordpress Rainmaker FM site grows deeper every day and I am still gagging to do a little podcast on my o
