I am on day 2003 of a consecutive daily running streak in barefoot-style footwear, 20,030km into a 40,075km lap of the world. Today I talk about something I have been working through in my own business — micromanagement. Not as a character flaw, but as a symptom of a missing framework.

I explore a decision-making approach I was introduced to through John Lammerton's book The False Exit. It covers how to use core values as practical rules of engagement rather than generic statements, how financial liability thresholds give team members structured autonomy, and how a simple reversibility test — is this consequential, and is it irreversible — can eliminate most of the noise that forces unnecessary escalation.

I also talk about how we are building on top of this with an AI support tool that documents real decisions and the reasoning behind them over time, so the team has a reference point that reflects how we actually think.

All of this connects back to the same principle I apply to running every single day — consistency and structure matter far more than presence and intensity. This run-vlog is a fundraiser raising £1 million for children's causes. Every listen, every share helps.
