It attracts mockery from a large group of people who roll their eyes when you tell them you’re a coach. I’m sure you’ve had your share of trolls on some of your posts. They try and burn you down before you even open your mouth. They try to discredit you…

No matter what the reality is, if your mind doesn’t believe it – it doesn’t exist. — Photo by Ran Berkovich on Unsplash Have you ever believed in something so effortlessly, that the world stopped making sense to you because your logical brain could not process what was happening? I started writing this book because of an experience that was so real, yet so ridiculous at the…

It all ended in a little bit of an anti-climax for me after a dissolved business partnership, some less than great projects and an overall feeling of missing out on something bigger. I took January offline for most of the time, and I spent my days reflecting on 2019 and…

Prepare yourself for the common sense that’s about to slap you in the face like a wet trout. — First of all, I have no idea where that “wet trout” reference came from.

The IKEA shelves, full of cool and quirky things. We had the Google Partners banners, the social media brand pillows, the fancy desks, all the iMacs and MacBooks, the…

1300 hours this year that I’ll never get back. — Last week, My iPhone X showed that my average weekly screen-time was edging towards 25 hours. A bit of Facebook here, some Instagram there, a few hours of YouTube and about 3 messaging apps — I had no idea that I was spending that much time every week, staring at…

In hind-sight, things could have been a lot better if I had thought things through back then. — Wow, even just jotting down the working title for this post made me feel old AF. (Can I legally use that word, being over 40 and all?!) Let me take you back to 2004 so you can understand why I got started writing and how I accidentally stumbled upon a…
