The decision I almost made at my son’s age
A chat with my son about a decision I almost made at his age. Why I still wonder what if, and the advice on my coffee cup.
Rocketman, Socrates and the courage to let go
A coaches’ call about letting go, Elton John at Glastonbury and a line from Rocketman. On admitting what you don’t know.
Writing my own theme tunes
On Christmas Eve 2018 I wrote a theme tune for a brand new podcast. Why the little extra is worth the effort.
My sound check, and the MC in me who wants to rap
Bands have a sound check song. As a speaker and event MC, I don’t. What I do have is a favourite moment, just after it.
