The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
Consider sticking this somewhere you'll see it daily, like your bathroom mirror. It's essential to know that it's entirely true, even if you haven't realized it yet. You are special and unique. You mean the world to someone. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. At least 15 people in this world love... Continue Reading →
I made a SILLY mistake: I cancelled my radio show earlier tonight because of this voice message I received in the middle of the second song. PLEASE NOTE #1: This is an AMENDED transcription of an English voice who translated a Spanish voice message. The rest has been deleted as it has been proven to... Continue Reading →
Back in mid January 2020 Kelly Noble mentioned she was organising a massive gala to raise funds for Bushfire victims on Kangaroo Island. I remember mentioning early on in the project that I'd be keen to attend. In the Last week of January I checked into see how the event was going - only to... Continue Reading →
After 32 years living in multiple suburbs of Adelaide, the last 18 in the Adelaide hills, 19 years working in the CBD, we moved into Kingscote on Kangaroo Island in late 2016.

With the little savings I had available, I had a few images printed and framed - and on walls at the Catalyst Foundation Adelaide... Continue Reading →
This story amuses me every time I read it: MissyMwac's family and friends were gobsmacked when she printed all her phone photos - the concept was completely foreign to them! Yes, it is satire. Heavy satire. Yet it is a reminder that very little photography of my children, my nephew's and niece's birthdays, nor my family... Continue Reading →
Hard to believe it, I have had a Twitter account since mid 2008. For a long time it was just something I looked at from time to time, not understanding how anyone could cross-converse in such a hectic and vibrant community. It looked (and sometimes still does) like a bazillion monkeys chattering over the top... Continue Reading →
Our close friends Vicki and Ben Kramer have a lovely little boy who required a heart operation shortly after birth. It touched our hearts when we heard what it took to support their family during those early days of little Zach's life. So now we want to give as much as possible to all families who...
