I’m just a bloke who decided to start a You Tube channel.
Why?
I just wanted to share some stuff to see if anyone would be interested. I have enjoyed the life I have had so far and would like to think that I have gained some knowledge or dare I say some wisdom along the way.
The channel has a simple premise that is my two passions in life. That is life itself and all the lessons you learn along the way and the other passion is for cycling. The longer I’m on the bike the better.
I do have other passions, my wife and kids are really important to me but for me that goes without saying. They come first all the time, although my long suffering wife may have a different opinion than I do.
Cycling In A Nutshell
I hold a number of cycling qualifications, offering mountain bike leadership courses on Cannock Chase in Staffordshire. I qualified a few years ago as a Cytech bike mechanic and for a while ran a centre for young offenders to learn how to mend bikes leading onto a mechanics qualification. The main reason for being a bike mechanic is to be self supported as I enjoy long distance endurance cycling. Having the confidence to repair your own bike allows you to take on any off road adventure. As well as off road I also enjoy riding on the road.
Life Lessons
Over my time on this planet I have had a challenging start, probably up to about 25 years old. From then things improved massively, mainly because I met my wife who still wants to be with me. I know, amazing.
We built our own network marketing business for 23 years until the mother company went into administration. A big part of this industry was personal development. Which I fully embraced.
During this phase in our lives we were rewarded with all expenses paid holidays to Thailand, Australia, Brazil, South Africa and Jamaica to name a few and even achieved a free BMW. We worked hard, and even harder on ourselves. I was even invited to speak at the company conferences to an audience of over 6000. Big stuff, especially for me with the start I had in life.
Now I want to share some of those experiences in short videos, my hope is that I can create some content for you to enjoy. Maybe I might say something that sparks something inside you that leads you onto something amazing. Who knows. But it is time I did it rather than thinking about it.
