9 Rules You Need to Know to Survive in the Corporate World

A rough guide to help you prosper in the carpet-tiled trenches — My colleague got fired. She was bold, brash, and had a loose tongue. It blindsided her because she was young, impetuous and didn’t yet understand how the corporate world worked. I’ve seen this happen dozens of times in my 19 years of office work; people come in naively assuming their…

42 Rules to Happiness I’ve Learned to Help You Skip the Line

Hard-won wisdom from 42 years on planet Earth — 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything, according to Douglas Adams in his book Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy. It is also the critical angle of light reflecting off glass and is also the value of the “Hubble Constant”, a measurement of how quickly objects in the…

I Bought a Year of Tony Robbins Performance Coaching and Here’s What It’s Like

Everything you ever wanted to know about Tony Robbins affiliated coaching but were too afraid to ask — Note: This article is also a YouTube video if you want to watch that. That stupid advert kept popping up on Facebook. “Be the best you” or “Super power your life” or whatever it said. It was one of those adverts where someone good looking smiles into the sunshine, dressed…

Comedy: How It’s Going, A Progress Report

This article is about me, not the state of comedy in general. Actually, it’s a tiny bit about both — At least a thousand people followed me on Medium because they read my viral article ‘I Bought a Year of Tony Robbins Performance Coaching and Here’s What It’s Like’. I didn’t expect it to go viral, but I can understand why it did, it wasn’t my eloquent command of language…

Explaining Life to a 5-Year-Old (How to Pack Your Bag Right)

No one rises above their packing — I was in my underwear on my bed doing some Wim Hof breathing, the window was open and a light April breeze cooled my skin, already cold from an icy shower ten minutes before. This smugly meditative moment was shattered by my 5-year-old son screaming in the adjoining room. I…

The Depressing Truth Why Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Musk are Successful and You’re Not

They’re way smarter than you, here’s what to do about it — Ok, so I gave away the big reveal in the tagline of this article. No point mincing words. People hate to hear this fact. I posted the same suggestion — that they’re smarter than most of us— on Facebook and the reactions were all sarcastic laughing emojis as if this…

I’ve Had an Epiphany About Happiness — Why Does No One Talk About This?!

Everyone says follow your dreams, no one says follow the A-word — I’ve read a lot of self-help. I’ve written a lot about it too. I’ve attended personal development seminars and weekend events, and I’ve had two life coaches. I’m no stranger to this world. And in all that time there’s one word I’ve failed to hear in self-help circles. One word…

How to Stop Waiting To Be Who You Already Are

That which can be destroyed by the truth should be — A mindset coach walked me through a mental exercise. He told me to imagine standing in a room throwing away all of the labels I give myself, or other people have given to me. Father. Husband. Writer. Comedian. Friend. Brother. Son. Coward. Bully. Protector. …

You Will Never Be Satisfied with Your Art – Here’s Why That’s Good News

You’re making all the right mistakes — Creativity is a hard game. It doesn’t seem hard to those dipping their toe in the water. If anything it seems easy, fun, and a break from the norm. But make creativity your purpose or your livelihood and suddenly all sort of chaos breaks loose. Bring on the doubt, the…

Dissecting the Awkwardness of Will Smith’s Oscars Incident

Let’s pop psychology this sucker — I don’t really have an opinion on what happened when Will Smith hit Chris Rock at the Oscars. I’ve seen a lot of hot takes on this, some supporting Smith for protecting his wife, others lampooning him for being so easily offended. Some strongly condemn his violence. Whatever your thoughts…
