I run an agency that empowers people. It actually does too, or so I’ve been told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m a dad to M (5) and L (3). It’s wonderful. I wrote down some advice for new fathers<\/a> as I found a lot of the advice out there patronising and generic. Hoping my advice isn’t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve lived here for over six months now. It’s a village that pretends it’s a town. I’m even starting to like it, after a while. I have an office<\/a> in the garden<\/a> in which I work<\/a>.
Running
<\/strong>One of the ways I explore my new home of Forest Row is jogging (I believe it’s pronounced “Yogging<\/a>“). I post my best times to Strava. I record my worst times too, but hide them on Strava. I like to post a selfie after each run to show the sweat, tears and pure exhaustion from each run. It’s the best antidote to AI-generated photos I can think of: myself in my most vulnerable humanity: very tired and aware of my physical limitations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
