  • The Gene, the Meme, and the Archbishop – Breaking Bread with Giants

    After my last post about the problem of abundance, I made a video talking about the same subject. I mentioned that I’d been taught scripture as a child at boarding school by the late Archbishop Tutu, who was then the curate at the local church in England. I had a comment on the video this…

  • The Problem with Abundance – a Solution?

    Is gratitude still possible when we are drowning in abundance? Can we have too much of anything or everything – are we being suffocated by stuff we never asked for in the first place? I’m indebted to the Andrew Keen Podcast – which featured an interview with Brink Lindsey talking about his new book The Permanent…

  • I’ve moved house At Last!

    I moved house at last – it has been a bit of a struggle, but we are her with no furniture fir two and a half weeks!

  • The end of my time in my art studio

    I left my old house last week and the studio in which I made all the videos on my youtube channels and where I also wrote and illustrated over 100 children’s books. The second half of the video sees me in Derbyshire having moved, staying in a holiday cottage for a month, recovering before we…

  • Thought and the Formless Stuff – Chapter 4 Response

    Have you ever tried manifesting something and nothing happened? You read the affirmations, said the words, visualised the goal… but the dream stayed in your head. That’s because life isn’t magic. It’s not supposed to “shazam” into being. You’re not a magician. You’re something far more powerful: a co-creator with nature. In this response to…

  • Creators! – What Britain after the Empire can teach you about YouTube

    I’ve always loved history – not for blaming our ancestors, but for learning lessons we can apply today. History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes. I grew up in the shadow of the British Empire. At school we were taught about the East India Company and how this small group of men built an empire…

  • How to let things come to you – without manifesting or affirmations

    When you imagine something – a project, a relationship, a home – you don’t make it real by simply wishing for it. You make it real by creating channels that allow it to flow into your life. This is the core of The Certain Way, my modern take on Wallace D. Wattles’ 1910 classic The…

  • Fallow Ground – a song

    In case you missed it on Youtube – (what do you mean your not subscribed!?) I found myself in a fallow period recently. I found two new chords on the guitar and this song just appeared. It’s about a fallow period that may seem unproductive, but in the end it is about restoration and recovery.…

  • The Trouble With Certainty

    Absolute certainty invites Hubris and inevitably, Nemesis. In Greek mythology Hubris was the worst kind of pride or self-congratulatory pomposity, that would call to Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance and retribution, to come and sort things out. in short – Pride comes before a fall. Certainty, however, keeps us on a chosen path, heading in…

Isn’t this just another self-help hustle?

That’s a fair question.

I’ve wrestled with it myself, especially since The Certain Way is based on The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace Wattles. It sounds a bit like I’ve joined the ranks of content gurus selling success in exchange for clicks.

Here’s the truth: Yes, I want to make money from my book, website and YouTube videos. Not millions. Not a funnel. Enough to prove the method works.

But here’s the paradox: If I make money by teaching this method, doesn’t that feel like circular logic? Like I’m profiting from the message, not applying it?

Maybe, but I’d argue this is the work. Because I’m not selling hype, I’m testing a framework in public, to see whether clear, creative thought can still shape real results in the middle of the AI collapse.

I’m not offering shortcuts. I’m offering structure. I’m not pretending to be above the system. I’m just trying to navigate it with integrity and leave a clear path for anyone else who wants to do the same.

So no, this isn’t a hustle.

It’s fieldwork.
