Lately I’ve been thinking about innovation as a career path; having completed a Masters in the area and spent over a year helping businesses and SMEs innovate, clarify thinking and helped identify near-term and long-term goals, I’ve thought how do consultants sell innovation? By all accounts, I’ve found innovation hard to sell. It’s intangible and […]

Having attended a small business festival’s workshops, where people could attend small classroom like rooms and listen to speakers, I realised that I really don’t like classroom locations where the audience is listening to speakers. I actually think the traditional small classroom speaker audience relationship must change. The traditional model is a speaker talking to […]

Back in the early 90s, Channel 4 put on a series of Jackie Chan and other Hong Kong action movies. I remember watching them, throughly enjoying Police Story, Armour of God and Wheels on Meals. This general interest lead me to buying and collecting Impact! magazine (until I stupidly got rid of my collection) and […]

Action cinema that ranks well against others in its class; but can it offer more than a chase movie? The third instalment of John Wick 3 sees the return of Keanu Reeves as John Wick in a rabid, action packed movie that has, for me, a lot of nostalgic nods to the past 25+ years […]

At a recent conference, someone asked a host about their business where they sold hair extensions via e-commerce and wanted to know how to improve sales, business and get more customers. At first, I thought about 4-5 questions, which related to place, promotion, reach, channels… But then I realised there’s a better question than all […]

Ever since I watched Eric Thomas’ most famous Youtube viral hit video, “As bad as you want to breathe” (Vimeo original) I’ve been wondering what it’d be like to be in the same room as him, with his energy, passion, desire and pure motivation causing through your veins to push you beyond fear, or as […]
