BLOG 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
BLOG Under Pressure - Childhood to Fatherhood to Fascination WOW! My spine tingled. I had forgotten this.Two of my favourite things ever (other than you my reader) are Queen and David Bowie. I had the Queen Live Magic! And played it until it broke. Back then we lived in Southampton, went to school on Hayling Island and only person in our road had a car phone. I must have thought about this line every week of my life since I first heard it: “Chippin’ around, kick my brains ’round the floor These are the days – it never rains but it pours” Somet
BLOG "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 this - NOT being an arsehole that is. It is very tempting to make the picture for this post an actual arsehole, but then I am sure you'd think I am even more of one. Over the last few weeks, I have been drilling my head to find the line between energy with fir
BLOG 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
BLOG 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
BLOG 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 enthusiasm of a sailor in a brothel with a credit card. These are a few things that make 90Mainyard the best coworking venue in London – that is by an Olympic Park and canal. 1. It has a full

Audio Sitting Comfortably? Let's begin! #TAGtribe The seats are set, the food is eaten and the beers are opened (and mainly drunk!) and Andy Bargery is introducing our speakers, J.P Rangaswami, Neville Hobson & Jon Silk. Talking about the connected consumer. After confirming we won't sit on our hands, that we promise to get involved and everyone's entered their questions, we are ready to begin. The first question rolls in - When we talk about connected consumer, do we only mean social media, are they relationships? Can you create a better con
