I love real estate
I hear this statement every now and again. What is there to love about real estate? Dirt…? Concrete and steel, wood? Mortgages, contracts? Complaints? Signs, conferences, marketing? Online marketing platforms and TikTok videos? How about doing deals, eating what you kill. Proving to yourself that you can do it. And of course, the people. I… Read more »
Winter Masterclass
Remote work takes some getting used to – and one of the challenging elements is not getting to know your colleagues quite as well as you could in person.

Signal Vs Noise
On Monday I built an app. In the space in my life that was a public holiday, combined with weather forcing me inside, I had the space and time to have a bit of a mess around with AI and start building an app that will be really useful for me on Lovable. This is… Read more »
