This is a now page, an updated page of what I’m currently up to.

Finding my way back to teaching. After saying goodbye to teaching online to take a job teaching young kids to play in bands… I’m back 👋. I learned a lot. Really glad I did it, and also really glad I stopped. I don’t have the whole next chapter mapped out, but I’m excited to start afresh with a truck-load of new ideas and see where they lead.

Making AI part of my working day. I’ve built an AI chief of staff and a small team of specialist helpers around my business. They’re helping me think, plan, write and build – including this website. The biggest surprise has been the mental space it’s freed up. I’m enjoying work again, and finding it easier to stop working too.

Teaching ‘The One-Person AI Agency’ v2. Gareth Hanson and I are running our next live workshop on 28 October, sharing how to build an AI workforce around a web design business. Totally reimagined since our first run back in July. It brings together what Gareth’s been doing in his agency and what I’ve been putting into practice in mine. Details here.

Making smaller, useful things. I’ve had a habit of turning good teaching ideas into enormous projects. I’m practising a different approach: take one useful problem, explain it well, get it out into the world. That’s how I’m approaching my return to YouTube and exploring AI-assisted web design.

Leaving room for a life. I’m getting clearer about the work I want to do – and saying no to opportunities that would pull me away from it. Teaching, creating and running my own business matter to me. So do eating properly, moving, playing music and having a weekend.
