How I keep a consistent workout schedule
I’ve been asked recently how I keep up with my workout schedule. I’m not even remotely a professional athlete, but I’m serious about what I do with my body. And as my life is full of personal and professional commitments, if I want to work out consistently I need a process. Here’s mine. You need […]
My first 24 hours with Apple Watch
My Fitbit Charge 2’s sporty strap was fairly worn out, so instead of spending £8 on a strap for an old model, I decided to upgrade to the Fitbit Charge 3. Then I thought “hang on.” The new Apple Watch was released not long ago, and as a product it seems to have reach the […]
Cultivating jiu-jitsu (or any other passion) away from the action.
Six weeks. Six weeks away from the mats. This is what I was given yesterday by the doctor who performed the follow-up visit to my shoulder, which dislocated during a Brazilian jiu-jitsu sparring session last week.

Road trip in Portugal: the data
During May 2017, Stef and I had an amazing time in Portugal. The two of us, our carry-on’s, two DSLR’s, and a Škoda Fabia that I rented in Porto and dropped off in Lisbon visited some of the best places in the country. Whilst Stef put out there a report with things to see, eat, […]

I was a bit disappointed when they started stealing every possible feature from Snapchat, but I’ve kept using it on a daily basis, just like millions of other people. Uploading my own photos, liking/commenting other Instagram users, and messing around […]

How we do things at Human Made: The Human Made Handbook
Saying your goal is to prioritise people is easy. Doing it, a whole different beast. People-first companies grow in number and like talking about themselves on the interwebs, but most workplaces around the world are still just workplaces—you put in your hours, get stuff done, and that’s it. As a result, resources on how to […]
My first tattoo: the design, getting inked, and other thoughts.
It finally happened. After several years of toying with the idea, I got my first tattoo. The design Six years ago I asked Freakettona—a talented designer and friend of mine—to create a business card for me. Not that I couldn’t just put together a basic one myself with Microsoft Word or whatever, I was just […]
