Trust is the currency of great storytelling.

In my conversation with 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝘄𝗶𝘀, he said something that stuck with me:
“𝘝𝘪𝘯í𝘤𝘪𝘶𝘴 𝘑𝘳. 𝘨𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦.”

That interview wasn’t just about football.

It was about courage, about a young man opening up about the racism he’s endured, and doing it with honesty, grace, and strength.

Darren reminded me that journalism, like leadership, is built on 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁.
Without it, no truth can be told.

Because people don’t share their real stories when they feel judged.
They share them when they feel safe.
That’s where the magic (and the meaning) begins.

Ganan talking about investing brought me back to my own ventures.
I’ve put time, money, and energy into all sorts of projects, some flew, others failed.

And I agree with him 100%: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲. Products pivot, markets change, spreadsheets don’t tell the full story. But if you have the right people, they adapt, they solve, they find a way forward. Without them, nothing works.

That’s a lesson you only really learn after a few scars.

I’ve got a degree in Financial Economics, and after 20 years building and scaling businesses, I’ve learned one thing, numbers only tell half the story.

Behind every headline about stealth taxes, higher costs, wages, and business rates… there’s strategy.
This budget isn’t built to turbocharge growth, it’s built to steady the ship before bigger moves come later.

If you understand the shifts and adjust early, you’ll be ahead of 90% of small businesses.

Swipe left to see what it really means, and how to prepare.

5 years today since my grandmother passed.
She was always welcoming, always humble, and always teaching us to
work hard and experience life!

One thing that she would always say which I’ve thought about a lot lately is that we come to this world with nothing and leave with nothing, so don’t focus on what you have or don’t have. It’s the experiences that we will remember!

I miss you always ❤️

Throwback to a decade ago and this hike up Brecon Beacons preparing for Kilimanjaro. Good times

Picture 1 - Broken Jaw after getting hit from a hockey ball in the face. Operation for a metal plate in my jaw

Picture 2 - In hospital after coming back from Columbia and getting TB. Operation for a fluid drain from my lungs

Picture 3 - Detached collar bone after a fall abroad. Operation to put a pin in my shoulder.

Picture 4 - Me smiling, happy and healthy.

A lot of people have asked me if i'm feeling down or worried about business taking a massive hit from Covid.

This year I'm grateful. Seeing how many people have suffered from Covid reinforces that gratitude further.

Having to go through 3 surgeries in 3 years myself really instilled what is important to me. I think back to lying in hospital for over a month and being tested for all sorts without a clear diagnosis of what was going on with my body. The realisation that things weren't fully in my control was something to worry about. At that point I couldn't have cared less about business, or money. I just wanted to get out of hospital, be at home and be healthy. Eventually they realised it was TB, I had surgery and with time I was able to bounce back.

While i'm naturally concerned with my business, i'm not overly worried or depressed because I know there will ALWAYS be an OPPORTUNITY to bounce back.

This year I'm grateful. Grateful for for my family. Grateful for my friends. Grateful for my health. I couldn't ask for anything more for my birthday. EVERY DAY IS A GIFT.

With that, thank you for all of the birthday messages. I truly am GRATEFUL.
