Setting the record straight: I refuse to be a victim.

OK, here goes: As a few of you may know from other social media channels, I have become the latest target of a well known sociopath who has a long and public track record of attempting to destroy people's lives. That sounds a bit dramatic, but it's sadly 100% accurate. Some of this person's actions [...]

Bushfire Fundraisers for Runners

So we all know how completely messed up the Aussie bushfires are. Lives and property lost, environment decimated, animals and potentially entire species gone forever. We're all doing what we can in our own way, at whatever level we can. I know we're all being bombarded with fundraisers left, right and centre and there's only [...]

Ducklings are awesome.

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 [...]

Why ‘vanity metrics’ are fucking bullshit.

In recent times I’ve seen quite a few people in the business and marketing bubble say “oh, but people are talking about it so it must be working”. What a load of shit. This isn’t just dumb logic, it’s fucking idiotic. And anyone who says it should promptly slap themselves over the back of the [...]

What I like about the new tourism ad everyone else hates.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jyndIVod4k One thing I always find fascinating, is how easy (and popular) it is to tear something to shreds, without being able to offer one single decent suggestion about what else you could do better instead. And if ever there was something South Aussies are good at, it’s having a big fucking whinge. Perhaps it’s [...]

Scarlet Robins are complete assholes.

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 [...]

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. [...]

Vale Chooky.

Hi everyone, for those of you who don’t know me, I’m Sputnik, the brother formerly known as Steven. We actually have a weird, completely unplanned name tradition in our family: Darren my younger brother has been known as George since he was a baby. And when he was about maybe 19 or 20, David, for [...]
