So I overheard a conversation recently where someone was connecting the dots between the increase felling of trees and the creation of a 5-G network; the idea being that 5-G’s biggest issue is that trees block or interfere with the signal. Now I don’t know if this statement is true or not, thats not my […]

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.

Perhaps the largest and well known is the issue of environmentalism; in this I couple the issues of pollution, waste and climate change. Climate change’s […]

This is a book review for “6 months to 6 figures” by Peter Voogd, this review has not been paid for. “Despite its title, 6 months to 6 figures has very little information on how exactly to get 6 figures in 6 months” Peter Voogd’s track record of success over the past 10 years is […]

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 […]
