You can’t have fun unless you drink.
That’s how people have acted my entire life.
But it’s BS.
I’m 52 years old. I’ve never drunk. Never needed too.
There’s so much propaganda around alcohol, yet it’s one of the most dangerous things in the world.
Not just for the effect on you physically. But because it keeps you numb. Keeps you trapped.
You go to work and hate it. But you can drink after, so it’s okay.
It helps you suppress how you actually feel, so you don’t fight for change.
If you genuinely love your life, alcohol is fine. Enjoy it.
But if you’re using it to get through the week, that’s a signal that you need change.
I was having dinner in Hong Kong when my waiter ruined the meal.
He had a bad attitude and clearly didn’t want to be there.
I asked him why. And he said
“I shouldn’t be a waiter. I don’t like it.”
So I told him this.
The week before, in the exact same restaurant, I’d hired someone to work in my creative agency.
They were working the same job, in the same uniform. The only difference was, she did it brilliantly.
She smiled. She cared and treated every table like she personally owned the resteraunt.
Two weeks later she was working for me in a job that paid 5x what she was earning there.
Talent always gets spotted. But only when it’s actually showing.
Most people are waiting for the right opportunity to give their best. So they hold back at the job they have.
They tell themselves they’ll go full effort when they get the role they actually want.
That’s not how it works.
The role you actually want is given to people who are giving everything to the role they’re already in.
The waiter wasn’t punished by his manager for his bad attitude.
He was punished by every person who could have changed his life walking past him without noticing.
Whatever you’re doing right now, do it like it’s the thing that’s going to be noticed.
Because it is.
The person in this photo is NOT real.
This is an Al generated photo
His story is heartbreaking… 💔

I’m the least interesting person...
At my OWN event.
In 8 days time, I walk on stage in front of hundreds of people.
But unlike every event I’ve ever been to, it’s not soely focused on one person.
Sure, I’ll talk on stage, I’ll answer people’s questions and help the audience with their dreams...
But most events miss something when they’re built around one person.
The room is where the interesting people are.
Hundreds of people. All with different stories and different pieces of knowledge. Some may be just starting, and in desperate need for experience and connections. Others may be seasoned entrepreneurs, looking for a new purpose.
That’s why my event will be different.
We’re starting a WhatsApp group on the morning. You can talk to each other, ask for help. Find someone in the room solving the problem you’re stuck on.
I’ll still be there. I’ll speak on stage and do a Q&A. If you’ve got a question, I’m there for it.
But honestly, my main hope for the day is that you walk out having met someone who changes your year… and it almost certainly won’t be me.
If you’ve got a dream, come. If you want to help someone else with theirs, come. And if you’ve just had a long week and want to spend a day around energy and ideas, come for that.

People don’t understand home education.
So here are 5 things I think they should know.
1. You don’t do it alone.
↳ People think home education is just a child and their parents, education is community-driven all day, every day. It’s not. Kids still socialise. They just do it the way adults do, in short periods of time when they actually feel like it.
Not stuck in a room with 30 of the same people for 8 hours a day. Every day.
2. Kids learn what they’re actually interested in.
↳ They’re not forced to study things they have no aptitude or interest in. So learning stays fun. A kid who hates maths but loves English shouldn’t be forced to study Pythagoras theorem.
3. It doesn’t have to be expensive.
↳ You can pick and choose activities. My son loves maths, so he has a private tutor. But you can do private tuition in groups. And if you’re skilled in a subject yourself, you can teach it. Most parents underestimate how much they already know.
4. There are huge communities for it.
↳ Home education groups exist everywhere. Tour groups too. We went to LEGOLAND recently, and they actually give a discount for home education. The infrastructure is already there.
5. School is opt-in.
↳ This is the one people forget. You don’t have to be in the school system. You opt into the school system.
That means you control when your kid has time off. You control when they sleep in. You make the decisions about their education because you’re their parent.
We’ve got to a point in society where we think teachers know better than parents. They don’t. The school system would take credit for our kids learning to walk if it could.
Parents need to be trusted to parent their own kids again.
I used to be embarrassed that I love to work.
I work almost every day. I work on Sundays. I work in the evenings. I used to even try and hide that I worked so much because people used to judge me for it.
It makes sense, though.
For most people, the word “work” means something they don’t want to be doing. It’s the price they pay to live the rest of their life. So when they see someone working all the time, they assume that person is trapped. That I must be sad or missing out on something.
I’m not. It’s just that work for me is my purpose. I found the thing I love to do most and made money from it.
And honestly, I’d still do it even if I didn’t make money.
Work isn’t supposed to feel like a life sentence. The fact that it feels like one for most people isn’t proof that work is bad. It’s proof that most people are doing the wrong work.
I’m not telling you to get up and quit. But start planning and building a life you love instead.
