Last summer on holiday in Poland I was reflecting on various things. One such reflection was on how it’d been just over 20 years since I’d gone to uni to study economics. It reminded me of Mr Sanderson. My GCSE business studies and A level Economics teacher. I realised how his teaching had shaped and… Continue Reading
Daily Perspective
Life update to flow state
One way or another I’ve felt very blocked from a writing perspective. Which is always doubly frustrating thinking back a few years when I literally couldn’t stop myself from publishing. The reasons vary over time from doubling down on Purple Goat, having some non work priorities to focus on, to more recently just overthinking and… Continue Reading
Poland – the big trip
I’ve been wanting to write more articles for a while. With some health challenges earlier in the year, and building the world’s biggest disability marketing agency, it’s been tricky finding time.

Purple Goat passed its 6 month birthday in October. I’ve loved every minute of growing our brand awareness, building relationships with many different businesses, building a kick ass… Continue Reading
What a Week
Things kicked off with bank holiday Monday, and a new personal care assistant starting work with me. Something that always causes anxiety, yet something that’s so fundamental to my life. Then Kasia had her birthday Wednesday, the day before mine. We’re born in the same year too! So we celebrated her day with a long… Continue Reading
Hurdles and Marathons
I’ve struggled to write an update recently for a couple of reasons. One is that there’s simply not been enough time and energy once I’ve finished everything else.
