Hay Guys! How you all going! Summer has well and truly come to Sydney and I spent most of it outdoors with friends, how about you?! Hope you had a cracker of a weekend as well! After the crazy week at work I’ve had, I needed this! Don’t you just love social interactions with good friends, good food and good times? What life should be all about. I got a bit of banter from a couple of friends about the last post as well – “hey funny guy, why don’t you actually post what you did instead of some Santa Claus fairytales?” S…sorry if my darkest childhood memories got in the…

What I Did After Losing $40,000
Back again folks! Hope you guys are doing well! Been a TOUGH week so far for yours truly, so earlier tonight I decided to do something different to reset my head-space and cheer on my friends as they played a quality game of futsal (indoor soccer). The effort from the guys was very inspiring and the social connection did me a world of good. Who won you say? “Football was the real winner” quipped one spectator. Following on from this I’m going to continue the series on me losing $40,000 – which by the way has racked up a decent amount of views so far (please share and comment and…

What I Learnt From Losing $40,000
Back again guys! I hope everyone enjoyed my previous post – the one where I gave myself a good paper-cut and squeezed some lemon juice onto old memories just for your viewing pleasure. There’s been a fair amount of messages about that episode, mainly around what I did next, what I learnt, what I’m wearing when I type out a post. To be frank (Anne – come and find me, oh dear “shakes head”) I took that hit pretty hard. I mean it wasn’t like I blinked twice slowly and then continued with whatever I was doing, it was a good 18 months or so before I could contemplate investing again…

How Lack of Research Cost Me $40,000
Hi guys! How did your weekend go! Did you have a blast? I know what would have made it even better – following this blog. Ha ha, shameless I know. I spent my weekend catching up on a lot of reading I missed due to our China trip. Gone are the days of clubbing at Bamboo or Ivy on a Saturday night. When I say clubbing I mean dancing and trying to chat up girls, not clubbing as in to beat or strike someone with a cudgel – that usually ends up with you locked up trying not to dance or chat up anyone. Anyway I miss those days –…

The Journey – Remembering the GFC
We’re back people! Back to where? Back to the future, back to back, back to the journey. Recently, I’ve been noticing more and more media articles regarding the GFC. But sir, why would Australian media outlets write about a UAE based kickboxing and mixed martial arts event? These 4 guys started the GFC in their mum’s garage. No you fool – the Global Financial Crisis. Oh, that old chestnut – yep I remember, we all remember. It’s been almost 10 years since that seismic event rocked the world. Reading through these articles made me nostalgic of those heady days. In 2007, I recall one distinct moment sitting around the university…
