Usually I hide when it is my birthday and don’t tell anyone. Last year I hid under the big tree in our friends garden in a little village in Poland. I am motivated to write this because the journey from that tree to my birthday this year has been important. (Well important for me anyway). […]
The No Complain Diet.
I have managed to glean a huge amount of time this year. Most of it has been a result of keeping my mouth shut. The biggest chunk of keeping my mouth shut has come from not complaining. Sorry to shatter your idea of happy nice guy Bernie…. Being negative about other people and things without […]
Am I Unemployable?
I thought I was doomed, weird and broken, now I know there are others like me We are the unemployable. There are a lot of us around, and most of us have read the Cluetrain Manifesto. It’s our guide. . I was playing golf with podcasting legend Neville Hobson a few years ago and he […]
It was late when I got back to the office……
90 Days of Massive Action #2 It was late when I got back to the office at 90 Mainyard. There was an eerie calm to the place and all the lights were off. At the back someone had left a desk fan on, I heard a bump and saw the office cat scurry across the […]
90 Days of Massive Action #01
I think I am finally there. While we were up on a mountain in Italy for the OuiShare summit a lot of things came together for me. At one point I was chatting and said I am not sure why I came, even more so, I brought #babybernie too and he did not know why […]
What is Bernie’s Superpower? Answer here and save the world…..
Now I would not normally ask this….. but…. “What am I good at and how does it add value to you?” You can answer here (2 mins max!) Fear not this is not some wanky ploy where I will attempt to design a product and attempt sell it back to you in two weeks. Nor am […]
“Be the change you want to see”
My big screen on my desk at 90 Main Yard has a cute picture – “Be the change you want to see” – I would like not to be an arsehole – but I am. I’d like to see a world with fewer arseholes in it. For those of you near me I am working on […]
A Sentimental Journey Through Spain and Italy #1
I have not done anything all day. Quite literally I am too excited to move. Tomorrow #Babybernie and I are off to Italy to a magical little place called “The Rural Hub” for the OuiShare Summit #7. Around 70 of us from all over the world will sit around and collectively discuss, decide and vote […]
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 […]

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” […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
