The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
Writing and publishing a book has been on my mind for ages, and while I often tinker with my poetry or scribble ideas for the two books I’m working on, I haven’t quite finished them. So I spend a lot of my time searching for simple, effective ways to finally get my poetry out there.... Continue Reading →
I don't know what schools teach regarding world wide geography. I do not recall being taught when I was a kid about the rest of the world. We just accepted that we lived in Australia and a lot of other people did not. But now that we have Google Maps and Google Earth plus the... 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. All effort has been put in to rebuild my wife's honey business, plus get my artwork in display and window-washing businesses on-track. Life... Continue Reading →

Last month I rested my hand on the shoulder of two female friends... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I create content which is a little obscure. This short video is about a mini-tripod that has been my favorite vlogging tool for about 2 years. It died earlier this week. Weirdly it was only a few hours after a friend told me about the SMOVE Smartphone Stablizer - which is basically a gimbal.... Continue Reading →
I feel for Casey Neistat, I actually do. According to his latest video: His left knee creaks when he kneels. Presumably it is more noticeable when he runs. So he is concerned that he may never be able to run again. I gave up running about 2 years ago, at least for long distances, because... Continue Reading →
"Listen, do you wanna go back, or do you wanna stay here? I get it. It's nice up here. You can just shut down all the systems, turn out all the lights, and just close your eyes and tune out everyone. .... It's safe. I mean, what's the point of going on? What's the point... Continue Reading →
