An ode to our siblings. — Introduction This is my brother — Andrew. We grew up in the same house, ate the same food, went to the same school, and in the end, travelled to the same destinations. Like most brothers we’re simultaneously alike and different. We have a shared passion of entrepreneurship, similar life philosophies, and…

It was exhilarating, terrifying, amazing, unbelievable, exhausting & enlightening. — Introduction Last month I rode from Ho Chi Minh city to Hanoi on a 110cc Honda Wave. To put that in context, that’s around 2500 miles, or driving the length of Britain 3 times. It’s something I’ve craved for a long-time — that feeling of complete freedom that only a motorbike…

It’s easier than you’d think. Anyone can do it with enough time, determination and the ability to walk up a big fuckin’ hill. — Introduction Five thousand, three hundred and sixty four metres. That’s how high you’ve got to climb to reach base camp from sea level. That’s 187 Boeing 737’s. 2899 Liam Lawson’s stacked vertically. 17598 Subway footlong sandwiches. It’s basically a shit-load of distance along possibly the most coveted hiking route on planet…

There’s layers to this shit? Yes, but it’s not as complicated as you’d think. — Introduction Alright, before diving in to the deep end with Layer 2 (L2), lets ground our ourselves with some commonalities. L2’s are built upon Layer 1’s (L1)s where L1 means the original blockchain such as Ethereum, Bitcoin or Litecoin. I’m sure you’ve all heard of Ethereum and Bitcoin before, right? Layer…

Layer 2 solutions are the antidote to the blockchain trilemma; get ready for scalability on Ethereum. — Introduction IMX stands for Immutable X, which if you understand NFT’s and the meaning of the word immutable, makes a lot of sense.

There’s a new opportunity for photographers and it’s very very lucrative. — Introduction Okay, we’ve all heard of NFT’s by now haven’t we? Repeat after me: Non. Fungible. Token. Non. Fungible. Token. Non. Fungible. Token. Simply put, they’re a way of digitally verifying originality and uniqueness. It’s a foolproof method of declaring: “This is absolutely the original and there is no room for…

The chaotic city of Kathmandu teaches you quickly and without mercy. — Introduction I left Glasgow 11 days ago. 15 hours, 2 planes, countless customs and 1 lost laptop later I arrived in Kathmandu, Nepal. For me, this journey symbolises the start of a globe-trotting adventure, with future plans to visit India, SE Asia, Australia, New Zealand & more. Based on the recommendations…

One of the fastest cryptocurrencies at the heart of a decentralisation controversy. What’s all the hype about? — What is SOL? Solana is a Layer 1 blockchain that prides itself on speed, security and its resistance to censorship. You may also know it by its native token“the ETH killer” or as one of the top 10 tokens on CoinMarket Cap (CMC). Like other top crypto tokens, it’s decentralised meaning no one…

No matter how small or seemingly insignificant, it’s beyond important to recognise and toast to each and every individual achievement — You Can’t See Yourself Without Reflection I’ve gone far too long without recognising my own achievements. It’s a mindset instilled since birth; where I take every achievement and success for granted, perceiving them as ‘the bare minimum’ no matter the scale.
