I went to a voluntary sector conference in Somerset last week focused on working #upstream. It inspired me to write something on Substack once again...

I've done something I thought I would never do! I've created a little web app called #CountWhatMatters: countwhatmatters.base44.app
I'll be writing about why I'm doing this soon, but in the meanwhile, do follow the link and join this tiny new community.

I'm on Spotify! I was invited onto Phillip Ullmann's The Manna Journey podcast. He kindly credits me with changing his thinking about money. We had a great convo. Phillip laid out his vision for a People Powered Ledger. creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

I've been writing on Substack again, this time on the nature of money and the need for a way out.

One year ago today, #ValueBeyondMoney was published. I was hoping the audio book would be launched today to celebrate, but there are some ongoing technical issues. So instead, I thought I'd post a picture of me in my birthday suit! (Some PJs given to me by a friend...)

For many months, I've been spending my spare time with this set up in my bedroom - recording and editing the audio version of my book #ValueBeyondMoney. But the end is in sight, and within a few weeks it will at last be available to the public!

Really proud to be part of the Our Economy project by Arkbound, resulting in this ebook, free at arkbound.ac.uk/publications....
My chapter starts: "I’d like to start with an admission ... I am not an economist ... But this lack of credentials is precisely why I feel it is important that I write"

Have you ever felt that we're not told the truth about money and economics? #ValueBeyondMoney is my book. It's about the #polycrisis, #alternative_economics and #externalities. I'm doing a few speaking engagements. #Stroud is next week on 12 November. Limited space - sign up here bit.ly/480HgYN
