So the wife and I are on holiday – wandering around Nice, France – and we came across an old mosaic – two dolphins with soldiers on their backs. If that’s not badass I don’t know what is. Riding your personal dolphin into battle would be quite something. And I know I’d run a mile […]

I have the privilege to be surrounded by some amazing people. Some of them I see every morning for coffee, some of them I’ve never met – they are their words on a screen. Nonetheless they never fail to inspire me. The one thing they have in common is that they don’t let their heads

I woke up this morning nice and early to do some exercise. It was tough – waking up that is, because I didn’t want to be awake and get out of bed early. But I did, being a dedicated sort of fellow. Perhaps I should’ve stayed in bed.

So after the other day’s little whine about a certain football player of Portuguese origin – I still don’t know how to spell his first name, and I’m not that interested in learning. oooooh! I’m such a … I thought I would back it up with another little story, a good story about the value

OK, so one thing first – I’m not a big football fan, being from New Zealand rugby’s more in my blood, but I love sports, especially when the underdog does good. To catch you up if you didn’t know – as I write, tiny little Iceland just drew against Portugal. Awesome. Love that. Ronaldo had

This won’t be your typical mother in law joke email. Sorry about that. It’s just that I can’t complain. Quite the opposite, actually. I’ve got the excellent good luck (is it luck?) to have amazing parents in law.

Here I am in my home office, coffee in hand, Ishayas’ Ascension meditation done for the morning. I feel great. I feel set up, ready for my to do list, ready for all the stuff the day will present. I love feeling this way, you know? Switched on, clear – not foggy, present and alive

Muhammad Ali died, of course – unless you’ve been under a rock you know. That news is every where. The guy was hugely inspiring, and to so many people. I didn’t realise how much though until I read all the words written about him. Who is your hero? Who do you admire and respect?
The other day I mentioned a guy called Paul Mort, who is awesome. He sent me an email about “body shaming”, and I wanted to reiterate what he said. A way back there was an advert for a weight loss company and it created such a big outcry. Apparently there is another one. I’m not

I’m on the coaching program of a guy called Paul Mort – he’s a genius: about so many different things. And he’s 100% himself. Totally loud, a little obnoxious – but always in a happy way, always with a huge heart. That’s him. He’s also super open about his struggles. He makes no apologies for laying
