Now

Work

After 8 years, I’m officially done making courses. On to something new. Starting my big new thing soon—The Non-Coder Collective. Excited to open the doors for a small group soon.

Still waiting for Bricks 2.0 to launch, and still waiting to make what would have been my brand new course on it (except it won’t be a course now).

Foy’s Friday Five is my new email series where I share five interesting things I’ve come across each week—handy tools, useful tutorials, industry updates, or just stuff that made me go, “Ooh, that’s cool.” Want this in your inbox? davefoy.com/newsletter.

Health & Well-being

Feeling comfortable with sobriety now (I took all of 2024 off drinking alcohol and decided to carry on). Getting huge rewards from looking after myself, physically and mentally—gym heavy lifting 4x/week, eating really well, all that stuff.

Recently uncovered the whole world of somatics and the mind-body connection. Turns out nervous system dysregulation explains a lot in my life. Absolutely fascinating stuff. 

Been diving into breathwork, somatic exercises, meditation, and seeing huge benefits: calmer, more focused, better sleep, massively less stressed.

Check out things like Vagus Nerve Reset by Anna Ferguson, and The Pain Relief Secret by Sarah Warren.

I’m currently following Sarah Warren’s Clinical Somatics Exercises course, based on the work of Thomas Hanna.

Life

Recently got really into house plants. I used to be an expert at killing them off. ChatGPT has basically trained me up—light levels, watering, feed timing, the lot. Now? Full-on plant geek. Something about tending to my ever-growing collection of plants and seeing them thrive is good for my soul.

Just back from a week in beautiful Prague. Had my 26th birthday there in 1998—half my lifetime ago. It’s not changed much… except the prices.

While there, stumbled into a whole world of fancy water (yes, water). Boozing me wouldn’t have had any truck with this, but now I’m slightly obsessed. Vichy Catalan: salty treat. Saint Aniol: crisply sharp. Who knew? Been trying several different brands back home. (Yes, I know it’s just water. It amuses me too.)

Music

Been playing guitar since age 7 and been in the same band since the early ‘90s. But now going deeper into learning guitar properly—came across Lo-G, who approaches learning and playing guitar in a very different way to most. Loving seeing progress.

Oh, and learning a load of Led Zeppelin riffs too. And the solo to Stairway. 🤘

Also, Julian Lage—what even is that level of talent? Unreal.

Current Status

The happiest I’ve ever been. Shit just doesn’t stick anymore.
