The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.

I’ve always been a fast typist, yet recently, with my right hand bandaged up, I’ve had to rely on speech-to-text more than ever. Let me tell you, it’s been an eye-opener. While my phone and tablet offer built-in voice-to-text features, my computer (where I do most of my work) offers next to nothing. Unless I... Continue Reading →
For those that don't know, every second Monday in March, South Australians get yet another public holiday. That was yesterday. Adelaide Cup Day. Yet, why??

I spent countless hours diving into IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and chatting on forums with thousands of interesting characters. During that time, I... Continue Reading →
Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t just reshaping industries - it’s opening doors for businesses of all sizes to thrive in the digital age.
