Testing, 1, 2, 3...
Apparently, this is a writing experience I will "love". Ok yes. It's very nice. Thank you for this lovely tour, Ghost. Let's do this.
Beyond the Bootstraps
I must admit, I’ve never liked the phrase ‘pulled up by the bootstraps’. Partly because it’s a weird thing to say, but mainly because I have no idea what the hell a bootstrap is. You know, those mythical straps we're all supposed to pull ourselves up
The Shrinking Ladder
I spent last weekend helping a friend update his resume. Twenty years of experience in operations management, a master's degree, and enough industry certifications to wallpaper a small office. His company had just announced another round of "AI-enabled efficiency improvements." Translation: Your job is being automated,
Rebranding ADHD
We can’t change our brains. But maybe we can change some minds. Let’s face it, talking about ADHD sucks. It’s hard enough living with a brain that doesn’t always do exactly what you want it to. Add to this a complex mix of anger, relief, disappointment,
Narrativity
Put your dent in the universe. Stop making excuses. The world is waiting for your big idea. Super fast. You’ve spent years thinking about this and we’ve spent decades making magic. Between us, 3 days is plenty. Super good. Don’t mistake high speed for low quality. Our

Diagnosed at 40… My dance with adult ADHD
“ ” — Dr Daniel Amen, MD Unfortunately, I think it’s pretty safe to say I managed to bring a fair amount of negative attention to myself over the years. People who have only known me as an adult are often surprised to learn I was consistently labelled a troublemaker (at best)
Pretty Rad For A Dad
Ten years ago, almost to the day, I quit my job in commercial radio with a rough plan to take my 2 year old son on the road around Australia to make a documentary called Pretty Rad For A Dad. For most of the time since Angus arrived in our
The magic of Lottie files
Last week I had the pleasure of meeting the co-founder and CTO of Lottie, a rapidly growing startup focused on bringing motion graphics onto every screen on the planet. Despite being the first company to EVER raise venture capital from their home base in the Maldives, the two Indian co-founders
Art vs Design
Last night, my kids school put on an art show and it turned out to be pretty remarkable. In addition to all the great work produced by hundreds of young students, a few of us were asked to donate some art work for the school to auction off. As a
3D Experiments in Spline
There are way too many mind blowing creative tools dropping lately… Maybe I should make a list of resources for anyone looking to get started in the creative tech field. Let me know in the comments if that’s something you’d like to read about. My new favourite is
Burgernomics
I don’t want to shock anyone here, but politicians don’t always tell the truth. If you were responsible for pouring trillions of dollars into the US economy, most of us would probably take credit for that… But who wants to admit this was a major cause of inflation?
