From January 1st of the last couple years, for no reason other than pure insanity, I have embarked on the infamous and now viral mental toughness program called 75 Hard. It was created by Andy Frisella, the founder of 1st Phorm, and it’s a blueprint in creating bulletproof discipline in all areas of your life. […]

Anyone born in the UK in January will know the struggle of a birthday during that windy, cold, glum month, so when I was told that this year I’d be going away to somewhere much warmer you can imagine my excitement! My favourite part of the holiday (other than basking in the 24 degree heat […]

Do I enjoy running? Am I good at running? The answer to both, is no. What happens when you mix a few overly competitive friends with alcohol? You get three friends all signed up for the Battersea Half Marathon, with deep regret in the morning. Embarking on the journey of a half marathon as a […]

Recently my wife and I had the opportunity to visit capital city of the Czech Republic, Prague! The exploration of the city nicknamed “the City of a Hundred Spires” included time spent exploring the cobblestoned hub of landmark attractions in Old Town taking in the sights of the colorful baroque buildings, the Old Town City […]

Being a fan of going to the theatre, and lucky enough to live easy travel distance to London’s West End, I have an annual tradition of going to see pantomime at the London Palladium (some may argue this to be the Queen of Panto, or should that be ‘Dame’?). It all started seven years ago […]

A walk back in history a glimpse into a fashion icons life at Gabrielle Chanel fashion manifesto. I visited the V&A’s exhibition during the weekend, curated by Oriole Cullen, slyly was simplistic and the garment in display exuded taste and elegance. Women dressed fully in Chanel. A room full of fashion enthusiasts. Sometimes the people […]

SGM-FX held its annual Bake-Off Competition today, and it was a day filled with sugar, joy and fun! The competition was fierce, with a series of very competitive contestants aiming for the top spot. But in the end, it was Meg Bonello’s vanilla cupcake with raspberry icing which took home the first-place prize, followed by […]

5 years ago, a simple visit to Harrods turned extraordinary when I met Dynamo. This wasn’t just about getting an autograph; it was a meaningful moment that connected my quiet passion for magic with the artist who had inspired it. Magic has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, […]

I’ve always loved a market. Probably a good job I ended up working in one in the form of the foreign exchange market. As those new joiners (un)fortunate enough to join my team will find out, I don’t see financial markets as all that different to those traditional non-financial markets. They are governed by the […]

Being an avid, almost fanatical Bond fan for the last forty or so years, I naturally had quite an emotional reaction to the finale of Daniel Craig’s tenure as Ian Fleming’s iconic character.  The film generally received positive reviews, praising the action sequences and the emotional depth brought to the character of Bond – but […]
