Keeping Your Business Moving in Quiet Season
There is something about January. Everyone comes back with energy, plans are made, goals are set, and momentum builds fast. Then, at some point in the year, the rhythm changes. Replies slow down. Meetings get pushed. The person who needs to sign off is on holiday. For anyone running a business, selling a product, organising […]
Why Every Founder Needs to Own Their Story
If you have started a business, you already have a story. Most of the small business owners I work with have quietly forgotten this. They think the story is the thing that comes later, once the brand is polished, the website is finished and the marketing plan is in place. The truth is the other […]
How AI Is Changing the Way You Get Found Online
For the past 18 months, the rules of being found online have been rewritten almost completely. This is one of those moments that history will probably call obvious in five years time.

Why Affiliate Infrastructure Matters for Growth
Over the past few years, I have spent a huge amount of time listening.Listening to founders. Listening to small businesses. Listening to creators who are building something meaningful, often on their own, with enormous passion and commitment. Again and again, I hear the same question: “How do I get seen?” Many extraordinary brands are doing […]
How AI Is Changing the Future of Business
I have found myself increasingly fascinated by artificial intelligence. Not in a fearful way, but with genuine curiosity about what it means for how we live, how we work, and how we build businesses. Here we go again – my fascination of curiosity! Only recently, I was reading about new tools that can create music […]
Why I’ve Started Looking at What’s Happening in Finance
It’s not because I’m a financial analyst. I’m not. But I am someone who watches patterns. I pay attention to what is shifting in the world around us.
