True story, I once suggested regular time is set aside to do this, and was asked why I couldn't be more positive.

Spend time turning Ls into lessons and watch your growth skyrocket.
This weekend analyze a failure & be hard on yourself

Failure analysis is rarely done, why?

B/c examining our failures in depth is emotionally unpleasant & removes some of the gloss that sits on the stories we've told ourselves about our performance as leaders, teammates, parents, etc.

Something I shared on LI, after an event this week:

Most of us are chasing the shiny new object, however I'm *still* speaking to people who are being challenged to deliver XX number of links per month, or XX number of blogs per month, and when asked why, there's no answer, or reason.

Right. Hello. I'm going to try and be more present here, moving forward. (He says) 🤞🏾

AI Mode just landed in the UK. Excited to get hands on.

If you haven't diversified your traffic sources, you could be at risk of being left behind.

Marketers in the US: "Look at all of these cool new AI features!"

Marketers in the UK: "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday!"

"You don’t need more data. You don’t need to test for certainty. You need conviction."

A great post from Jono, recommended reading 👇🏾
SEO testing is a cover-up.

Teams use it to dodge decisions.

Meanwhile, sites stay broken.

SEO is about bold moves and shipping fixes.

Stop stalling. Start shipping.

Don't be smart, be brave.

Stop testing. Start shipping.
Why tomorrow’s best-performing brands will be the bravest, not the most smartest.

A lot of the industry is realising the value of Digital PR, certainly when it comes to AIOs, etc.

However, many aren't questioning why some companies are still giving individuals/teams monthly/quarterly link targets.

It was never a volume game.

I fear we've passed the point of no return with AI generated content. A lot of things I'm reading daily I'm second guessing, and when checking, they display one or more telltale signs of likely not being written by a human.

At #recommerce25 today giving a session with superheroes such as @crystalontheweb.bsky.social @aleyda.bsky.social - amazing event so far!

Not a big fan of the latest Android update/OS.
Search bar has moved and there's no way to restore it. A quick Google shows many others share the same frustration.

Classic example of not understanding customers and moving things for the sake of differentiation.

Question: if someone took health/fitness advice from AI, and got seriously hurt, or worse - who is to blame?

(Context: I'm seeing lots of pretend fitness influencers share largely AI driven garbage fitness plans that could seriously hurt people if they aren't careful.)

Is it the year of Voice Search yet? Asking for a friend.

Next on my reading list for 2025. This one's quite popular and comes highly recommended by many people.

Have you read it? Thoughts, if so?

Excited to learn about the non business applications e.g in sport.

Fun fact, 'cheap as kettles' is a phrase I literally just made up.

Also, it does not rhyme. 🫠

I set up email alerts for my name/mentions a while ago.

Almost once a week I'll get something in my inbox that a namesake is in court for something or other, and I'm immediately racked with guilt over a 2p sweet I accidentally took without paying for as a child.

One of the many reasons why @lilyray.nyc is a credit to this industry is that in her visuals during her session @brightonseo.com - she ensured that those who are sadly no longer with us are still remembered.

Deliberately not saying too much more as some are yet to see the session.

TY, Lily!

I wonder how often AIO pulls in incorrect information these days - does anyone track this?

Example below, conversational query regarding changes at Disneyland Paris, information pulled from official website lists changes being made in California.

Closing out @brightonseo.com is a brilliant person I'm very proud to call a friend @lilyray.nyc - loving this deck theme!

Love this slide about the cycle of SEO. So true.

Brilliant talk #BrightonSEO with a personal story from Clive Loseby on accessibility. Kudos to @brightonseo.com for putting this on the main stage.

So often we forget to make websites accessible to the disabled, & having seen how disabled people access the web, it's something we should all look at!

Brutal F45 session at 6am to start Day 2 of @brightonseo.com (yes I was the first one there 🤣)

Exercising the body before the mind.

Ready for another brilliant day! #BrightonSEO

Wonderful pre @brightonseo.com run along the beachfront and chat with @chris-green.net - nice way to get warmed up for the event!

@brightonseo.com Friends, where can I find more info on the seafront runs please?
April 9, 2025 at 1:43 PM
Back in the game after some time away.
Looking forward to attending @brightonseo.com after missing two in a row! If you're around, do say hello! 👋🏾
Looking forward to catching up with friends old and new.

I got to a 505 day streak and then threw in the towel, as it was becoming more of a chore than it was enjoyable.

Freedom.

Fun fact: ended up getting quite sick and had to take time out to rest, a throat and chest infection took me right out.

Back in the game now, a reminder to take care of yourselves too, one I very much needed!

The first week back at the gym after two off...is painful.
