“We don’t know where we get our ideas from. What we do know is that we do not get them from our laptops.” – John Cleese Really, we have no greater tool for distribution and change than the computer (even the one in your pocket) and the net. It is beyond ridiculous how powerful it...

We know that work doesn’t do itself, and talking about it isn’t helpful. This is clear. Yet the interesting thing is how many different forms “talk” can now take. Email checking, social media posting and grooming, planning, reflecting, polishing, organising, meeting… These are all important at times for sure. But just like the time spent...

We think about fitness. But really, it’s technique. For 99.9% of those who will toe the start line, the first step is to inquire into the question of “how can I run more efficiently?” The marathon is 42.2km, and each foot will strike the ground maybe 20,000 times.

Then we have the concept of resilience… How do we stand...

Then back over to Curl Curl. Then north to Long Reef – the swell direction could be better there… This would go on. Sometimes...

The end of the morning yoga class, the start of day in which we can practice mindfulness The end of the month, the start of the new month of opportunity. The end of the weekend, the start of Monday morning where we can create. In running races, there’s a natural tendency to “push” hard up...
