For Anyone Who Has Ever Been Bullied
For Anyone Who Has Ever Been Bullied. My misery at the hands of bullies was becoming too big for me. My pain, both physically and mentally, was becoming uncontrollable. Panic attacks were my daily diet, sleepless nights almost a ritual. Something had to give.

It worked, and the more confiden

A Very Pi**ed Off Bugs Bunny, or How to Lose Millions
A very angry Wabbit A Very Pi**ed Off Bugs Bunny, or How to Lose Millions Bounce houses, bouncy castles, inflatable fun houses. Whatever you called them, at the time my father’s factory manufactured them, they were frowned upon by the big theme parks and blue-chip companies. Nobody wanted to be associated with something that propelled the users high in the air, banging into other users and crashing back down. It just wasn’t good for business. So when my father, Peter, reached

Barrel Carriers or Teamakers?
Barrel Carriers or Teamakers?
Last week, I was teaching a class and explaining about Barrel Carriers and Teamakers. It was about an incident that occurred in a local pub where Julie and I were enjoying our usual date night. Just the two of us, cold drinks and a meal.
