Like everything in nature is a competition for survival. That's just not true, there are many examples where different species 'collaborate' for survival. That's why I developed a different way of making decisions, which includes a C.R.A.P. Filter ... An ecology check if you will. Consequences...? Real costs...? Assumptions,... That we're making and really need … Continue reading Turns out most of what we’re led to believe….Just isn’t true.

🍬 Stop Fueling the Lie: Sugar Isn’t Adventure Food 🥾🔥
Every time I guide a group outdoors, someone pipes up: “You’ve got to eat sugar when you're going uphill!” Do you? Really? #WildCoaching #WisdomWalks #Walkshops
“What Monopoly Teaches Us About Privilege”
While assessing Duke of Edinburgh at a prestigious private school, I witnessed something I’ve rarely seen in lower-income settings: one student, lacking confidence and status, was quietly sidelined — made to cook, clean, and carry, while others strutted. They weren't evil. Just enculturated. A study had players start a Monopoly game with randomly assigned wealth. … Continue reading “What Monopoly Teaches Us About Privilege”
Can you really have Capitalism and Community?
Watch this reel. Then ask yourself: Was it really “progress”? Now we pay for what was once freely shared— Time, care, food, stillness, freedom. Capitalism took all that and fed it you back... It sold back your worth, piece by piece. Dynamic community. Decentralised teams. Regenerative culture. The drawbridges are going up. Let’s meet at … Continue reading Can you really have Capitalism and Community?
Still taking calls from the clubhouse?
Might want to rethink that. A 25-year study found living near a golf course increases Parkinson’s risk by 126%. Turns out all that pristine green comes with a chemical cost — to your health, and the planet’s. The founders and regenerative thinkers building the future? They’re not talking strategy over golf carts. They’re walking in … Continue reading Still taking calls from the clubhouse?
You Don’t Need to Wait Until You Break: The Case for Wild Coaching
Recently, I watched a clip of Simon Sinek sharing a story about a friend — a woman close to him — who simply needed eight minutes to collect herself. Not a week away. Not a sabbatical. Just eight minutes. But she didn’t ask clearly. She powered on. Until she couldn't anymore. That landed. Because I’ve … Continue reading You Don’t Need to Wait Until You Break: The Case for Wild Coaching

“Kids these days are soft…”
Really? I just spent a few days in wild country with a Silver DofE group. Heatwaves, storms, dodgy kit, team tensions, tricky nav — and they faced all of it head-on. Their research project? “Does adventure improve mental wellbeing?” They didn’t just talk about it — they tested it. Tracked their moods. Reflected. Looked after … Continue reading “Kids these days are soft…”
Teams will have to adapt too.
One of the reasons we homeschool is that schooling is primarily based on the industrial model of work. It was after all invented to take care of kids so that their parents could be guided to work in the factories. That's all changing... And so is work. Industrial models of work require people to act … Continue reading Teams will have to adapt too.
