Writing

Writing is where I do my best thinking - long, slow, slightly obsessive work around entrepreneurship, marketing, and how businesses actually grow.

Books

Books are my favourite kind of work: deep research, ruthless organising, and the quiet satisfaction of turning ideas into something that lasts.
