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…

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.

In 1903 the NY Times Said It Would Take a Million Years To Build a Flying Machine

Oops — A million years to build a flying machine?! Of course someone wrote that. People get stuck in their ways. No one thinks something can be done until it’s done. They believe they understand how the world works and that’s that. Mind closed. Voltaire said, “Every man is a creature of…

We need to talk about making money the right way — There’s a loose collective of entrepreneurs on Twitter who make money online, outside normal paid employment. These people collectively refer to themselves as “Money Twitter”. There are thousands of these accounts, networked together, exchanging ideas about hustling hard and generating cash. I quietly joined their ranks a few years ago…

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’.

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.
