Reviving my online courses

A guy enquired the other day about my shares/investing course which I had online a few years ago. I stopped selling my courses (investing, property, discipline procedure in the workplace) because the platform on which I hosted them, Teachable, was prohibitively expensive. But the enquiry I received this week on Instagram has prompted me to… Continue reading Reviving my online courses

Despair about the culture in Ireland in 2025

I have published a couple of videos over the last few weeks on topics which generate a massive amount of engagement and comments online. One was to do with Enoch Burke and the other dealing with the application in the High Court to prevent Conor McGregor publishing the CCTV footage from his civil trial versus… Continue reading Despair about the culture in Ireland in 2025

Good prompts for ChatGPT are invaluable

I have dipped into Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the last 3 months, or so, and find it tremendously powerful, and, more importantly, useful.

That is probably not the best or smartest response. But there are times when you believe you have to draw a line… Continue reading Back to ground zero

This YouTube channel’s success is remarkable

I came across a YouTube channel yesterday which got me thinking. Firstly, the channel has 480,000 subscribers yet is less than one year old. Secondly, the maker of the channel never shows her face in her videos. Thirdly, there is no speaking, no voiceover or piece to camera. What there is instead is text on… Continue reading This YouTube channel’s success is remarkable

The unfair advantage of telling better stories

I spend a lot of time thinking about telling better stories in my videos. Telling good stories gives any small business owner or entrepreneur a massive advantage over competitors. And so, I spend a lot of time thinking how I can better use and incorporate story in the videos I create for my YouTube channel,… Continue reading The unfair advantage of telling better stories

The Enoch Burke comments online

It is difficult to know if certain Enoch Burke supporters publish the online comments they do in the full knowledge that they are wrong/mistaken but go ahead and make the comments anyway, for whatever reason. Or if they genuinely believe them and they are genuinely held views. For example, the comment that Enoch Burke will… Continue reading The Enoch Burke comments online
