Make Time your Friend

National Geographic Adventurer of the Year uncovers how to culture a mindset for adventure without breaking the bank.
Alastair Humphreys is the author of my all-time favourite books on the topic of adventure and getting more out of life.
He spent 4 years cycling around the world, and has rowed the Atlantic, ran the Marathon de Sables, and walked across India amongst numerous other adventures.

Decision frameworks and strategies that drive innovation and growth.
Jeff Bezos built Amazon which made him the world's richest man. He's had a lot of luck but has consistently stuck to a core group of philosophies and mental models that drive the decisions behind his incredible success.
Amazon is more than just an e-commerce juggernaut but a builder of entire ecosystems such as the cloud computing industry (AWS), the e-publishing industry (Kindle) and the world of home devices that talk to each other and you (Alexa).
The stories behind these innovations show how to build a culture of growth and inventiveness full of Growth Mindset lessons.
