The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
Choosing separation is EASY; Living with the aftermath is Not Before anyone nods along too easily with the popular narrative around grey separation, it’s worth slowing the tape. This article by Spicy Auntie paints later-life divorce as a kind of moral awakening for women who are "finally choosing themselves". From where I stand, it often... Continue Reading →
OK, our editors might have that slightly wrong. Maybe they meant to say the unusually shiny, suspiciously well-behaved interstellar object currently spreading its seed around our galaxy. Yet we will let it slide. AbstractRecent observations of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS have produced findings so inconsistent with established astrophysical theory that the research team briefly considered...

This evening, on my walk home from my old house (~ the one where my separated-wife and our children still live) my thoughts drifted to the spaces that divide all of us. Walls and barricades, both physical and emotional, shape our conversations, our silences, even our memories. Somewhere between the streetlights and the cool night... Continue Reading →
Now that I am living alone, I have purchased a few kitchen appliances to make food preparation easier. A few weeks ago I asked for the Ninja NutriBullet - but somehow I ended up a "Ninja NutriBlender BN460ANZ30". I thought it’d be the same twist-lock design as most compact blenders.

Thanks to one of my oldest friends (not her years alive; our years knowing each other!) Charlie Helen Robinson, I have recently read an article... Continue Reading →
Donald Trump has done it again. Instead of answering a question, he’s picked a fight. Yet this target wasn’t an American rival or a late-night comedian — it was Australian journalist John Lyons. The ABC reporter asked about Trump’s wealth - and instead of dealing in facts, Trump reached for the oldest trick in his... Continue Reading →
I’m confident there’ll be another relationship in my future. Not in a rushed or desperate way, just a steady belief that connection comes around again when you’re ready for it. And when it does, I’ll be walking into it with a clearer idea of what matters most. For me, that means keeping communication up front... Continue Reading →
Last night I scraped together all the gold coins I had in my office so I could (hopefully) buy a pizza for dinner (after a long day window cleaning). https://www.instagram.com/ezcreate.media/reel/DOF7EZXkxAW/ I demolished a large "Mediterranean Lamb" pizza all by myself. https://www.instagram.com/ezcreate.media/reel/DOGC_lGk-lR/ Donate a few dollars so I could buy more pizza or other cafe-food here...

Alright, here’s the deal: running my primary website - http://www.ezcreate.com.au - isn't always as simple as I'd like it to be. Random downtime, upload speeds, refresh rate, easy portal or FTP access, and over the years there have been various issues with other hosts I have dealt with. Including selling out and closing down! Cue... Continue Reading →
