Conquer this and you’re good… — If you need or want to lose weight, it will be in your thoughts constantly, until you reach the healthy weight you are aiming for. This is a truth you have to accept. And trust me, acceptance is a hugely important word when it comes to losing weight. Accept where…

I start to gain access to some real beer royalty — Finding good guests for any podcast can be a challenge. The last thing you want to do is book people for the sake of it, just to get another episode out there. This is an important concept I discuss with my podcast clients for whom I make podcasts professionally. …

I reconnect with an old friend and make a game-changing discovery… — It’s been a while since I have published an NFB episode and it’s for a couple of reasons. Life has been busy (I certainly haven’t had the time to write much on Medium but perhaps that is, literally, another story). I also had a concussion. I fell by accident onto…

A rant against the most annoying habit in business — I run two little companies on my own. One is quite traditional and provides a service that many other companies do. It’s doing well and growing organically. The quality of our work is good and word is spreading. The other company came out of the first, via a Research &…

If you like a drink, this could be a game-changer… — Do you dismiss no and low alcohol beer as something you’d only have as a last resort? That was me until a couple of weeks ago… but I’ve been very quickly made to think differently. A recent concussion left me off the booze for a while. But in a way…

Weirdo.” I was aware of this joke when I started my own podcast — inspired by my joyous journey into homebrewing — and did consider whether it was just a…

…and this is exactly the type of episode I started this podcast to make — When you think of starting something new, you need a little vision of it working to push you from what Peter Thiel would characterize as “zero to one”. When I contemplated starting a small independent beer podcast, just for fun, I also wanted it to serve some kind of purpose…

…and if you like a 1970’s detective mystery, you’re in for a treat — I love the strange bizarre places that this podcast takes me too. This episode combines two of them. Firstly, the Palmers Brewery in Bridport, Dorset, UK. Not a strange bizarre place per se, but fascinating nonetheless and it was there that I met (we were on the same tour) the…

Financially, no… mentally, yes. — I’ve just broken a key “rule” to succeeding on Medium. You’re supposed to leave an information gap in the headline or subtitle that teases readers into clicking and reading… preferably all the way to the end (since earnings are based on member read time). You know the kind of thing: …
