After almost 60 years, I’ve had what you might call a varied work life. Estate agency. Medical sales. Mortgage broker. Recruitment. Avid networker. Speaker. Trainer. Postman. (Yes, really. Postman.)
Before AI: The Twitter Years
From 2008-2018, I was one of the UK’s leading authorities on Twitter for business. I spoke across the UK and Europe, trained hundreds of businesses, and did 230+ TV and radio interviews (BBC, Sky News, the lot). Spent a decade explaining to people how a 140 character limit could actually help their business. Simpler times.
Now: The AI Years
These days, I’m learning about AI and how it can be used in the real world. Not as a techie, geek, or nerd.. I’m far too old for that bollocks. I’m figuring it out as someone who’s actually run businesses. Someone who knows the difference between a tool that saves you time and expensive hype that wastes your money.
Building Custom GPTs is one of my favourite things to do. 50+ built over the past year. Some solve real problems, some just make you smile. All free.. If you want to talk about toast, cheese sandwiches, travel, almond croissants, or Haribo Tangfastics, that’s also fine. Actually, more than fine. Preferred, even.
