In today's episode, I open up about a fresh concept I've been developing—introducing the Digital Operations Director. Drawing on over 20 years as an entrepreneur, I break down how systems, processes, people, and data are the true engine behind any scalable and sustainable business. If you're a micro or small business owner with a turnover above £500,000, this could be exactly what you need to move from self-employment to genuine business ownership. I share my experience building a customisable digital backbone for my own companies, discuss the benefits of a centralised engine room, and how it can save you time, money, and stress while empowering your team. Plus, hear about the mission behind my daily run vlogs—raising funds to save children's lives through an epic ultra-marathon challenge.

If you’re ready to break free from being shackled to your business and take operations to the next level, this episode is for you.

In today's episode, I share my super simple and effective setup for going completely paperless using Evernote and a few handy automation tools. After years of drowning in paperwork and wasting time searching for important documents, I discovered a workflow that has turned everything around—making admin life vastly more efficient and stress-free!

I break down exactly how I use Evernote as my go-to note-taking and document storage tool. With features like OCR (optical character recognition), powerful search capabilities, inbuilt scanning on the app, and seamless cloud syncing, this system lets me digitise, organise, and retrieve any file in seconds. I also talk about how I use automation tools such as Zapier to send email attachments straight to Evernote, so nothing slips through the cracks.

If you're looking to finally break free from paperwork and clutter, this episode is for you. Trust me, it's a game changer!

Let me know if you have any questions or comments, and don’t forget—this podcast is part of my ongoing fundraiser, running the ultimate ultramarathon barefoot for charity. Your support means the world!

Welcome back to my daily diary as a Runpreneur! In today’s episode, I get honest about why I choose to volunteer as a referee for Colts level football—even when it’s an experience riddled with hassle, tough calls, and no shortage of criticism from parents and coaches. As someone who’s coached and refereed youth football for over eight years, I’ve seen the pure joy of children playing slowly transform into a pressure cooker of competitiveness. I share the real struggles and surprising rewards of taking on the essential—yet thankless—role of being the referee no one else wants to be, and reflect on what keeps me coming back each week.

If you resonate with the pressure of volunteering, or ever wondered why anyone would willingly step into the firing line, this one’s for you. Plus, as always, I chat about my ongoing mission to run and vlog barefoot around the world to raise funds for children’s charities.
