The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
I am always looking for a new hobby that will both give me pleasure plus could earn me a few extra dollars to support my family. Last night I found a few shoe-boxes of semi-polished rocks I collected at various beaches around Australia. They reminded me of a passion I have had for many years:... Continue Reading →
It has been a very busy first-month of 2021! To earn a few dollars I wash windows around Kangaroo Island - and I haven't stopped since the year began! Some locations require a 30-45 minute drive - because some clients reside in remote locations around Kangaroo Island. You Saw My First Healthy Smoothie? I now... Continue Reading →
Yet again I am looking at Headphones! Why? During a 5KIxFM90.7 committee meeting earlier this week, we determined I am the ONLY radio presenter without personal headphones.

I built this message out of necessity to make my kids realize that this message is a... Continue Reading →
There's no denying that I love wearing baseball caps in Summer. But I also like a nice warm beanie in winter, particularly when I am on my Super 73-ZG. I have a few black beanies, but I don't look good in black at all. So I want one that looks cool AND keep me warm... Continue Reading →
I have had a few Lavalier microphones over the last two years, but they haven't handled the rugged conditions I put them through. Living on Kangaroo Island means I have to contain my gear safely to handle rough weather, extreme hot or cold conditions, plus my children getting hold of them. So now I am... Continue Reading →
The Circle is the glue that holds the team or the family together ... The main purpose of the zigzag is the generation of new ideas and methods, and not their actual realization.
