Do you PP?
January 25th 2024 by
I’ve found myself being a PP. Have you? A PP here. PP there. Here a P. There a P. You get it. It’s… People Pleasing. And gosh, it’s tiring. Attempting to reply to every comment.

February 1st 2024 by Michael Heppell
The best business minds… are not on LinkedIn. The best video makers… are not on TikTok. The best socialisers… are not on Facebook. And brace yourself. The best photographers are not on Snapchat. And no one is on Threads 😂 Time to stop beating yourself up if your Instagram following isn’t flourishing or your […][...]
