I’m just a guy figuring out how to achieve my goals whilst not losing sight of what matters along the way. I want to share everything I learn with you.
I never intended to take this creative path. I followed the typical path to success. I went to a good school, got good grades and got a professional job in consulting. I got promoted regularly. But there was always a voice nagging away at me. Is this it? Is this why I work so hard?
I used my hobbies to satiate my constant need to grow. I taught karate for 6 years and was a member of the UK national squad. I danced Bhangra professionally and performed in front of 2000 people. I have completed twelve obstacle course races in five different countries. I’ve been to nearly 50 countries across six continents.
My story transformed when I took the small decision to start writing as a new year’s resolution at the start of 2020. I went viral instantly. Things snowballed and people started to pay attention to me. Now I’ve reached millions of people and have over 50,000 followers on Medium. I’ve been featured in Wired, ThriveGlobal and Morning Brew. I’ve appeared as a guest on many podcasts and YouTube channels.
If you told me this all two years ago, I’d thought you were insane.
I think my varied background has enabled me to see things in a different perspective. I’ve broken out of the mould of what I thought I should do and started doing what I actually wanted to do. I left the corporate world in June 2021 and haven’t looked back since. This whole thing is surreal to me but knowing I could have an impact on people in the way I have has blown my mind.
Right now, my podcast Mindful & Driven gives me the most joy in my work as I get to talk to fascinating people and share their insights with a wider audience. I’m loving life.
