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 […]
Seven Groovy Things That Make @90Mainyard my #coworking home
I have been living at 90Mainyard for well over two years now. I found my bubble of coworking bliss via Alex Butlers Kindred HQ Meet Up and have never looked back. The peace and quiet of this place played a significant roll in me scrabbling out of depression and into embracing podcasting and blogging with […]
It was just one of those days.
It was just one of those days. Last year, in fact for about three years I’d wake up and just could not do it. I’d set off in a whirl and hope for the best. Now I am a bit clearer where I am going and if I am sailing into uncharted territory it […]
Five things that are working well for me this week #101
1. Grass Fed Irish Butter in my coffee. Ok there is a little bit more to this. On Dave Asprey’s BulletProof food plan your breakfast is a big mug of high grade coffee served with grass fed butter and MCT oil (High grade coconut Oil) this is all blended together to produce a delicious, rich […]
Why a Mailchimp email is better than a Facebook page
I am always getting a kick in from people about emails. I don’t like WORKING in email – it is a time suck and a closed loop. Where as tools like Trello, Asana and the amazing Slack allow open and transparent collaborative communication. My point today is about email lists – I call mine my […]
Mile End vs Bernie World
I am on the way home and have been walking through a part of my life that I have not seen for a while. Three or four “Bernie Worlds” collided tonight in a really good way. Every time I am around the stretch of London that runs from Brick Lane to Mile End I get […]
Loomio
So I have been getting a bit of flack from people about my no-email post from earlier in the week. I want to explain my position in a little more detail. Tools I work with other people with are: loomio – for open collaborative decision making. Around forty of us make decisions in an open […]
I Have A Dream (Podcast)
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 […]
