The Rise of Superman
Getting into "Flow" I remember that moment when I was 16 years old playing in my first band. We were improvising on the spot, our minds connected. The notes seemed to flow out of me, the licks I had been trying to nail for weeks were just pouring out of me with seemingly no effort.… Continue reading The Rise of Superman

Junior doctors change specialties every 4-6 months. So one day you could be working as an Accident & Emergency doctor and the next you could be working as a Paediatrician.

The Map Is Not the Territory
The map is not the territory. Do not expect to go to school/college/uni/work and expect to be given meaning. It is up to you to seek out your interests with your own insights.

Decoding the DNA of the Entrepreneur

Richard Branson's first successful business was his magazine business at age 18. Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook at age 20. Bill Gates dropped out… Continue reading Decoding the DNA of the Entrepreneur

People that know me know that I'm always thinking and talking about the future of healthcare and what it may look like.

Amazon for example… Continue reading NHS Health Innovation & Meeting Professor Tony Young!!! 🙂
First They Tell You What to Think, Then They Tell You What to Say
