I let AI audit my LinkedIn—and deleted 3,000+ connections in one day. Why? My network was a relic of my SAP past, full of randoms & dead weight. Sometimes, less is more—if you want to grow, burn the old life down. Ever tried a digital purge? .#LinkedIn #Networking #PersonalGrowth

Most people coast through life on autopilot. I track everything that matters - on purpose. Here’s how “Life by Design” helped me build a year of real intent and meaning:.#IntentionalLiving #LifeByDesign #Purpose

If you get a vague answer, follow with this prompt:.Sounds good but too vague. I need specifics.

I just tried this prompt in ChatGPT…wow, what an eye opener!. If my life was a movie and the audience had watched it up until now, what would they be screaming at the screen for me to do next?.

Spent a week in Dubai—land of hustle, status, and “more.”.Turns out, more isn’t better. Here’s what the desert taught me about ambition and knowing when enough is enough. #Dubai #Mindset #PersonalGrowth.

The Mirage Just landed in Dubai: everything here is bigger, shinier, and faster than anywhere else I’ve ever been. Twenty years ago, this entire city was an abandoned Army camp in the desert.

Consistency beats intensity. Every time. I’ve built mastery in business but in other areas, I’ve been coasting. This book called me out. Hard. Here’s what changed:

I nuked 80% of my LinkedIn network (from 3,776 to 465). Instant result: No more noise. Feed = people I actually care about. Rediscovered old friends & collaborators buried under clutter. Quality > quantity. Would you dare to do the same?.#NetworkEffect #LinkedInTips

Every CEO should build a space where failure is normalized, feedback is honest, and the goal isn’t comfort—it’s mastery.

The best environments are equal parts challenge and support. Drum camp has both. So should your company. Safe to fail. Relentless to improve.

Growth isn’t about perfection. It’s about the courage to fail publicly—again and again—until you earn a tiny win. And then the next one.

At drum camp, you sit at the kit, live on stream, drumming to a song you’ve never heard, in front of 8 elite drummers. No do-overs. It’s terrifying. It’s perfect.

Most leaders avoid discomfort like the plague. They design lives around control, confidence, and being the smartest in the room. That’s how you stop growing.

I sold my company, retired, and now I pay to get humbled at drum camp. Why? Because sucking in public is the fastest path to real growth. New blog: What drumming taught me about leadership.

#LondonTechWeek = champagne panels + GPU panic + everyone suddenly a sovereign AI strategist. As a retired founder, it’s fun to watch. As a coach, it’s clear: hype ≠ strategy. Vision gets attention. Systems get exits.

#LondonTechWeek 2025 felt like AI’s IPO in Britain. Flashy booths, £1B infra plans, Nvidia cameos. But founders: don’t mistake political theater for product traction. Build something that sells - not just something that demos. #FounderAdvice.
