Waiting on a breezy platform for 30+ mins. No train (again!)
Started pondering where “shoot the breeze” comes from…
Turns out, it’s 1910s American slang for talking aimlessly, like firing bullets into the wind.
Pointless?
Well sometimes that’s how awesome ideas are formed.

The saddest branding mistake I see?
Founders trying to come across overly “professional”…
And in the process, losing everything that makes them interesting - and original.
Be brave enough to be you.
(PS I learnt the hard way)

Hey everyone 👋 I’m Mickey
New here… freshly banished from LinkedIn.
Lost 6,500 connections. I nearly cried… then realised there's a whole exciting world beyond LI! The freedom!
Anyway, if you’re into #entrepreneurship, #branding, original thinking and clearly a little rebellion ;) we’ll get on 🔥
