My 30-day vlogging challenge was an epic fail. Daily vlogging is really, frickin hard. I was enjoying making the videos, even thought they were terrible. Editing yourself every day teaches you a fair bit about your ticks and verbal crutches and it was certainly a great way to improve my editing. The problem was on …
A while ago I was cleaning out my email, doing a huge purge of everything I’m subscribed to when I found this email from Corbett Bar. Corbet is one of the guys behind the pretty epic fizzle and I’m subscribed to his lifestyle business weekly blog sites email list. Every now and then some one …
At the moment of writing, I’m on a 25-day streak of cold showers. Yep that’s right people, for 25 days I have been willingly stepping into a ball shrinking shower that’s been set to cold as a polar bears arse – and I’ve liked it. Why? Because cold showers can change your life! Why cold …
I’ve just taken a spare of the moment decision start a 30 day vlogging challenge. It’s not been something I’ve been thinking about and I don’t have a clue what I’m going to say but hey, why not. This crazy arse decision was made in a second while listening to a Tim Ferris podcast with …

It’s not until you’ve woken up and the sleep clears from your eyes that you realise you’ve been lying in the same place for the last 8 hours. Sometimes the same thing happens in life, waking up and realise you’ve been in the same place, not …

Only a couple of weeks into restarting my morning routine and it’s already become obvious what kills a morning routine faster than anything else, it’s the night before. A bottle of wine, staying up later, catching up on my mobile while in bed, not getting my clothes ready. All of these things can have a …
Sometimes life throws you a curve ball and it knocks you clean off your stride. Sinead getting sick and ending up in hospital was just one of those things. She’s been back in hospital once since then and it’s a very scary time. During the process, I didn’t realise that bit by bit I’ve been …
What a month this has been, I’ve never experienced anything like it before. It’s been a struggle to keep up and has been spent mainly trying to think about things too much. As you might know, my wife, Sinead, has not been well for over a year. It started with celiacs disease, but there have …
Before we start this is a great big disclaimer. The contents of this post are my thoughts they are not an encouragement to do this for your own children. You know what you are comfortable with, you know your own children, make up your own minds and then take responsibility. This is something that suits …
