    We’re coming up to another great Roadshow at the Winchester Science Center and Planetarium, which is going to be so awesome! I’ve performed in some crazy places (Madame Tussauds, Goonhilly Down, and Wembley!) but never in a planetarium, and to paraphrase Pokemon, you gotta get ’em all!

    I am especially looking forward to it after achieving a…

      • I’m just starting out – I’m about to check out https://alitu.com/ heard really good things about it – why? – basically does all the hard work for you! great if you’re not overly techy.

      • Stuart, that genuinely made my day, thank you!

        The free taster is indeed something I offer (would have been awkward if I didn’t, eh Stuart 😄). So do feel free to reach out if you want a chat, or just jump on my Growth Engine office hours call, every Thursday at 10am.

        He is a brilliant man

        Yes, that is an old step ladder… It’s not a proper production unless you’re using an old step ladder for a mic stand… I hear Scorsese swears by his trusty steps and Speilberg won’t consider turning over unless he can see a step ladder in the shot. Go rewatch Jaws, didn’t you think it was odd that the boat had a step ladder???
