One of the wonders of the modern world is opportunity. As an entrepreneur, I’m continually excited by what is possible. Aided by lightning fast connectivity, jet engines, computing technology and a plethora of beautifully indexed information available at our fingertips… the world is our oyster, lobster and winkles too.

Harder, Faster, Dumber
A friend just asked me if I wanted to do an ironman or an ultra marathon with him. Erm. No thanks. I remember doing just the ‘normal’ (i.e. little) marathon a few years back.
