It's spring and we all know what that means... ducklings! And fuck yeah! I live right near a river, so I get to see the ducks most days, and right now, there are baby ducklings everywhere. So if you're looking for something to do, find your local river or pond or lake or stream where [...]
The human defined season of spring may have started about a month ago, but natural, mother nature's spring really kicked in this week when she was good and ready, with some glorious sunny days. So I’ve taken the opportunity to ditch the car and ride my bike to work these past few days. I’m lucky [...]
Many years ago, like a fucking eternity ago, I studied with Tony Robbins over in America, and one of the things I always remember, along with how to walk on fire of course, a skill that hasn’t come in as handy as I had hoped, was a thing he taught about when someone makes a [...]
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. [...]

A few weeks back, I made a last minute decision to run the Murray Bridge Half Marathon with a massive rainbow flag. It wasn't something I dreamed up over time and planned meticulously to be some comprehensive campaign. It was originally a one-off thing born of frustration that people in the LGBTIQ community are constantly, [...]
Anyone who knows me knows I’m scared of lots of stuff including all sorts of creepy crawlies… and snakes. Especially snakes. Australia has twelve of the top ten most dangerous snakes in the world, and I’m scared of all 172 of them. Even the ones that aren’t dangerous. They scare the absolute shit out of [...]
So I roll into Coober Pedy on Friday to run a marathon the following day. I see the two big Wind Farm propeller things, and wonder, does two even qualify as a ‘farm’? And fuck, there's literally not a breath of wind so they’re not doing much. Which is exactly what I’ll be doing while [...]
I think one of the secrets to being happy, is finding the hilarity in shitty situations. So let me tell you about the Amy Shark concert last night. I'm a massive Amy Shark fan, but have to say, the show last night was one of the worst I've been to in a very long time for many [...]
