WTF am I doing with my life? Asks middle-aged white man This is a preview episode of a new video series centered around the most annoying person in the world: a white, cis, heterosexual middle-aged man who likes nothing more than complaining about his perfectly comfortable life. Warning: adult language/themes. Watch below or on YouTube. […]
At the beginning of this month I attended the first ever World (Un)Productivity Summit at Gladstone’s Library in North Wales. In attendance were: Michael Nobbs (Wales) Mary Gordon (Scotland) Lourenço de Azevedo (Portugal) Fabian Kruse (Germany) Milo McLaughlin (Scotland) The summit consisted of a gentle curriculum of talks, walks, chi kung, meditation, crocheting, research and writing in the beautiful library, accompanied by […]
This week a few friends and I attended an excellent ‘artist talk’ at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop which just happens to be in our local area. You can see some of the photos I took at the event above.
On our rather infrequent podcast about (un)productivity, Fabian and I recently talked to three successful freelancers who all generously shared their stories with us. Our good friend and regular guest Michael Nobbs even joined us on one occasion from Wales, of all places. As if to prove how inadequate the word ‘freelancer’ is as a noun, our recent guests make […]
Resurfacing after a few months in his offline hideout, Fabian discusses with Milo the beauty of creating in the real world, the importance of goals, what he has in common with David Hasselhoff and the improbabilities of ever becoming a professional kite-surfer (despite his involvement with Westend Surfing).

Farnoosh and her husband and business partner Andy live in the US but were […]
This week I attended a conference about self-employment and small business in Glasgow and got a little bit excited about Apple’s new software announcements. In the meantime, here’s another five podcasts for you (embedded below) and here’s the full playlist for the last week on SoundCloud.
Wow. That’s May over then. And with it, my successful attempt to record a podcast 5 days a week. At least, I think the numbers work out pretty much ok, as I’ve recorded 22 podcasts over 31 days. I don’t care anyway as I’m happy with what I’ve managed to do, especially given that I […]
I’ve been doing mindfulness meditation for over a year now and I find it beneficial to my health and creativity – but how does it compare to David Lynch’s preferred method of transcendental meditation and where do The Beatles fit into it all?
Today’s podcast was inspired by a great post by Hugh Howey about the difference between goals and dreams.
