Something happens when kids grow up around real ambition: they don’t fear it. Blaire and Mitchell don’t think big dreams are unrealistic. They think they’re normal. They’ve spent years watching us build businesses from nothing, turn struggling operations around, bring teams together, reinvent entire groups, and keep going long after other people would have stopped. To them, possibility isn’t a motivational quote, it’s a lived experience.

Our kids have grown up in the middle of it all. Not one business, but many. They’ve watched us buy, build, fix, grow, and sometimes walk away from bus

What My Kids Learn From Watching Us Build Businesses

Being direct isn’t about being harsh. It’s about being honest, efficient, and aligned. It’s about removing the noise so everyone can get on with doing their best work. It’s about having the courage to say what needs said, even when it’s uncomfortable.

People often tell me they admire how direct I am. But really, it’s simple: I grew up in a place where if your idea was brilliant, you’d get a “that’s cracking”… and if it wasn’t, you’d get a “behave yourself.” And honestly? Business could do with a bit more of that.

I’ve always been direct. Not because I trained myself to be, or because I read it in a leadership book, but because I’m from the west coast of Scotlan

The Power of Directness: Clarity Builds Confidence

That “no soreness” win yesterday was short-lived 😅

Reformer Pilates fooled me, in the best way. Yesterday’s class felt almost… easy. Today? Every muscle has filed a formal complaint.

It’s a good reminder that progress isn’t a straight line. A smooth day doesn’t mean the work is done, and a comfortable season doesn’t guarantee the next one stays that way.

The good stuff still asks a price, especially on the tougher days. So I’ll keep showing up, even when it bites back.
