The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
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 →
Whilst watching a behind-the-scenes YouTube video about the Bond movie Casino Royale, one of the producers said a line that really stuck with me: “Many people say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix or change it. I say that’s a recipe for complacency — in everything we do in life.” It hit me hard in... Continue Reading →
I got this gem in my daily Yahoo News: One of those stories that makes you stop mid-scroll, sip your coffee, and go, “Well, that’s worth sharing.” Right now, Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre (750klm North West of Adelaide) is putting on one of its rare once-in-50-year shows. After a 2,000-kilometre rain-belt soaked inland Queensland, about 1000... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I catch myself mid-conversation realising I’ve veered off course, lost momentum, or just plain confused the poor bugger trying to keep up. Whether I’m rambling, mumbling, or being a bit too clever with my words, I know I’m not alone. We all have our quirks when we speak. While some habits are better off... Continue Reading →
I recently offered to help a new Vietnamese friend with her English. Simple enough, right? As soon as the words left my mouth, I realised I might’ve stepped into something bigger than I expected. This is going to be a journey filled with confusion, cultural curve-balls, and the occasional case of mutual head-scratching. While I’ve... Continue Reading →
I’ve lived most of my life believing things happen because we either make them happen or we learn to deal with them when they don’t. Cause and effect. Effort and consequence. But lately… I’ve been noticing things. Not changes, just seemingly unrelated events that seem to echo each other just enough to make me pause.... Continue Reading →
This isn't something I would normally write about, yet whilst seeking information about my own chromosomal abnormality, I had the urge to seek more information about bio-synthethic humans. From there, this article flowed out of me: Ever dreamed of building a human genome from scratch — not editing, but writing it, start to finish? Well,... Continue Reading →
“I’m not looking for anyone special to have in my life anymore.”— Stephen Mitchell (#1: Late 1996 / #2: Mid 2025) I remember saying that out loud, half to myself, half to the universe, as if trying to seal the deal. Life was finally levelling out after a long, grey fog of loss and heartache.... Continue Reading →
After recent events impacted heavily on my lifestyle, I decided it was time to revise my food intake. Many years of easy-to-buy food - i.e. hamburgers, yiros, salty hot chips, etc - I have finally accepted that home-made preparation and cooking is not only better for the body, it's less expensive! With help from ChatGPT,... Continue Reading →
