Hey gang,
Last week we embarked on a quest to explore the breathtaking, sun-kissed lands of Tuscany in Italy. Our mission? To determine whether we should trade our dreary, rain-soaked UK existence for the irresistible allure of a new life nestled in the Italian mountains.
However, there's a catch - we're dedicated to maintaining our hard-earned sobriety. That means resisting the seductive siren call of the region's world-famous wine, a task that proves to be as challenging as navigating the winding roads of Tuscany in our comically underpowered rental car.
The second part of the trip will be out next Sunday x

Hey guys,
We’re still in the strange limbo of waiting on our house sale, so with little else to do, I decided to sit down and talk through my last 20 years of trying to succeed online—an adventure packed with more flops than I can count (and a few satisfying wins!).
In this video, I share the story behind my first venture, inspired by a quirky pixel grid site that kicked off my obsession with creating online businesses. From there, it’s been a rollercoaster of ideas, challenges, and pivots, all leading up to our latest success with BlackoutCards. I dive into some hard-learned lessons on resilience, why flops aren’t failures, and the relentless drive you need to keep going.
Whether you’re just curious about what goes on behind the scenes or thinking of starting your own venture, this one’s for you.
I talk about the ups, the downs, and why I’ve always believed that if you have an idea, the best approach is simply to “just [ ] do it.”
See you next week :) The Secret Four Words That Can Turn Any Idea Into Reality](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Me-TCjWjQxU/mqdefault.jpg)
