The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
If you have seen my Facebook page, you'll see an image I created for my header that reads: GRIT - THE RAW ENDURANCE, PERSEVERANCE, PERSISTENCE AND PASSION THAT KEEPS YOU GOING, DESPITE OBSTACLES. I read this somewhere and decided it needed to be an extra mantra in my life. Because sometimes life is tough to... Continue Reading →
Life has a peculiar way of telling us that every little step we take can have profound consequences. One moment, we find ourselves blissfully unaware of the fragility of our bodies, and the next, we are forced to confront the painful reality of our limitations. Such is the case when I found myself facing the... Continue Reading →
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.

During that time she managed to mangle and cut the cable on my Sennheiser HD200Pro radio-presenter headphones. She must have been asleep and trapped in there when I went out shopping for a blender and came home... Continue Reading →

The station has two sets in-station for guests, but because of Covid-19 every presenter is required to have their own. A few months back I first posted about... Continue Reading →
1. Listen, Learn Do! Kids need discipline, no matter what age. Yes, I sound like my father - but I have finally realized how true this is. The harder it is to enforce, the more necessary it is. I built this message out of necessity to make my kids realize that this message is a... 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 →
