So for the last 3 days, I have been at the OuiShare Fest 16 in Paris, it’s another tough assignment!!

The event has been hosted at the Cabaret Sauvage situated on the banks of the Canal in Parc Villette and unlike many events/conferences/festivals that I have attended this has been really different.

I will be coming away from the event with a real positive energy, that I have picked up from talking to so many people who are creating something different.

The feeling of optimism about the future of the human race can be felt from all and the feeling of shared values, shared common purpose, there has been a real feeling of togetherness.

Most of our society is driven by fear, intolerance, judgement, hate, anger and that is created and fuelled like a disease by the established order. The order that hoards all the power, wealth, resources, media and government for the benefit of a tiny few. It is the industrialised system, that has turned the mass into interchangeable and disposable cogs in their machine, living a life of servitude to debt and living under an umbrella of fear and control.

It is the moment for the human race to turn that off, it is the moment to walk away from that all and come together and build an alternative, bypass the old OS. Build a new positive future for the human race focused on common good, focused on people and values.

We are living in a moment previously unimaginable to humans, where we can all now write our own book and publish it ourselves, we can broadcast on our own TV channel, we can share our message via a blog, social media, we can sing on our own ‘record label’, we each have the power to create whatever we want and share with whoever we want. We can use technology such as block chain to govern ourselves.

All of this has only happened in the last few years out of the 70,000 years it has taken homo sapiens to leave the plains of Africa to today. We are living in the most amazing times and none of us can predict just how much we can do, other than we have the power for the first time ever to become a single human race and govern ourselves for the good of all and turn our backs on greed, hate, fear, judgement, control and slavery.

What 3 days at the Cabaret have done for me, is to convince me to pursue my plans to be part of building that alternative.

I urge everyone to join in and help to create a world for all and not to be slaves to the tiny few.

For a few weeks now I have been hovering over the ‘launch now’ button on my new biz website, which Bernie and I have been working on using the fab Rainmaker platform.

I have been umming and ahhing about various elements (excuses), however, more honestly, I have been shit scared of the technical bit of launching the site. I have literally gone into cold sweats, thinking ‘what if that goes wrong’ etc.

Today I pushed the button and within less than an hour, following a very simple change to the DNS settings for the domain, the site was live.

It was simple and easy. OK so the site does need a bit more work, but no good striving for perfect, just ship it.

The fact is in life, 99.99% of things are much more straightforward and easy than we imagine beforehand.
