Reflecting on the year that was.

I know people have been posting about all sorts of things for New Years, from matchy matchy outfits to the parties they went to, the nice places they were, wrap ups of the year, sometimes their most popular social posts, and quite often some sort of outlook for the year ahead. Also, for obvious reasons, there's been more than a few 'thank fuck that's over' sentiments because let's be honest, the last few years have been a lot. In so many ways. For so many people.

The problem with echo chambers. And why it’s good to have enemies.

As 2020 comes to a close, I suspect for a lot of us, it’s an opportunity to search for positives in what’s been a fucking dumpster fire of a year. It’ll be easy to get caught up in the social proof that 2020 was a complete write-off, and for you, it may well have been. [...]

Finally some good news for runners.

Amidst all the upset, angst, frustration and yes, for some, even anger and outrage amidst a shit tonne of event cancellations, I’m here to deliver you some good news. “What the fuck? Good news?!?!?” I hear all you lovely little runner people cry out in unison. Yes, good news. The good news is… you didn’t [...]

Art. Success. Money. Validation. Pop music. And your ‘internal barometer’.

A while back I presented to a bunch of young entrepreneurs and suggested that money was a terrible way to measure success. And I honestly believe that. I’ve since added that it’s a pretty fucking excellent way to pay the rent though, so I don’t for a second mean to suggest money is completely unimportant. [...]

Failure alert.

After I left the ABC yesterday at stupid O’clock in the morning, I wrote quite a long post about feeling like a failure. Don’t get me wrong, I’d had a great session on-air and felt really good about it, but it got me thinking about stuff. The post was pretty personal, and right when I [...]

Thanks 2018, you’ve been awesome.

A few years ago I noticed a bit of a pattern: I'd limp into the end of year thinking 'thank fuck that's over!'. And to be fair, there were a few challenging years in there for sure. But a couple of years back I made a conscious decision to look back at my year a [...]

Cambodia Adventure Tour 2019

Want to come to Cambodia with me in 2019? A little while back I was approached by a friend of mine who was heading to Cambodia towards the end of January 2019 to run an ultra with some friends. She'd been on both my Bali and Cambodia tours previously, and clearly a glutton for punishment, [...]

Was ‘Awesome August’ Crazy?

A few months ago I had this ‘crazy’ idea. But anyone who knows me, knows I have this whole ‘Redefine Crazy' mantra thing going on. So for me, crazy doesn’t get chucked in the (looney) bin, it as often as not, gets done. But first, let me backtrack a little. Five or six years ago [...]

August Unlimited

OK good folks of the internet, here’s the dealio. When people fuck up, or shit goes tits up, the new buzz word is ‘pivot’. We don’t ‘fail’, we ‘pivot’. We change things up. Most importantly, we don’t fucking quit. We dust ourselves off, adjust ourselves, and take off in a new direction. My new direction [...]
