In Mexico recently, I watched a turtle making its way from the beach to the ocean. On land, it is a huge struggle for the turtle to move forward until the point where it hits the ocean. From then on, the journey becomes effortless. It feels a lot like where I am right now. This […]

Earlier this year I backed a Kickstarter project for an incredible book project promoting an ethos and type of living that really resonated with me. As a result, last week I got to spend a few days in London with the founders of Misfit Inc – one of the coolest companies on the planet. We […]
Introducing My Entourage
By October 16, 2013 Leave a Comment
I have quite an entourage these days. It surprises me, but people are actually interested in how I resource my life. When I‘m asked anything enough times, I start to realise I should blog about it. The way I structure my life is somewhat unconventional, but it allows me to do what I do in […]
The Secret Formula for Living a Great Life
By October 2, 2013 4 Comments
I discovered something quite unexpected last week. Something I would have happily traveled 10 times around the world for. I witnessed a masterclass in living from the most remarkable people I have ever met. The irony is that I hadn’t planned or expected to meet anyone so remarkable. I ended up in Rajasthan, India, not […]
Who is up for a big bold adventure in 2014?
By September 18, 2013 2 Comments
2013 has been an incredible year for me. The best yet, by far. It all started in a pub in London in the run up to Christmas 2012, when a mischievous comment about changing the world sparked off an extraordinary journey of personal discovery. The challenge was to try and see if it was possible […]
Why Burning Man is Changing the World
By September 11, 2013 9 Comments
Trying to explain the Burning Man event to someone who has not been is like trying to explain a colour to a blind person. You just have to see with your own eyes to fully understand it. What goes on there is pretty hard to explain without underplaying the experience. So for that reason I […]
Being Good to Yourself is a Platform, Not a Reward

In order to go out and do great things in the world, you first need to feel great. Otherwise, it’s hard to succeed at all, let alone find lasting success. In my time, I have had successes, but not necessarily in the right way. Certain success was not good for my mental and physical health, […]
The Journey from Success to Significance
By August 7, 2013 9 Comments
I am going to let you in on a tip that could save you decades of effort. The thing you are chasing probably doesn’t matter. What is it you want? What does success mean to you? Wealth? Fame? Achievement? Many people measure their success in terms of recognition, wealth, power and status – and there […]
There is Always Another Idea Around The Corner
By July 31, 2013 1 Comment
Ideas are everything and everywhere. Sometimes they are priceless, but they can also be worthless. The trick is to recognise which is which, for you. Many of us treat ideas as possessions worth holding onto – closely guarded secrets we must protect from others. Just look at the craziness of intellectual property issues! It amazes […]
I Would Actually Like to Work Like a Dog
By July 10, 2013 8 Comments
Have you ever seen a dog work? Well, my dog Henry certainly doesn’t. He is either playing enthusiastically or asleep. Henry is one of my mentors in life, so I am more than happy to take a leaf out of his book. I don’t think I have ever seen him have a bad day. In […]
