Welcome!

Hi there! Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs where I post stories that I see and experience which exemplify the use of something I call the ‘passion formula’.

What is the passion formula? It’s a simple idea that has been rattling around in my head for years and a topic that I did a TEDx talk on in 2014. The concept has a baseline belief that we as humans are social tribe based creatures where amazing opportunities are created by people and if you are top of those peoples minds – you’ll be pulled to the table and have the option to take advantage of those opportunities more often than others.

So with this baseline belief, I attempted to create a simple 3 part formula for people to follow based of my own life experiences, input from others and academic research papers that attempts to simplify how to be top of mind with others which if used will pull you into amazing life experiences and career trajectories that you wouldn’t have otherwise.

Confused? That’s OK, it might be best to just watch the TEDx video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NltlH_rEBqQ) where I attempt to explain the concept in 15mins. (It was fun but I was super nervous!) Also be sure to checkout the posts on this site and read the rather random posts about experiences I’ve had and publications I’ve come across to see some examples.

FWIW – I started this blog by writing a 7 part series of how the passion formula concept came into being and my journey to and through the TEDx talk. If you wish to read that from start to finish – start with this page and click through the series LINK: Yes, I started a blog based off my TEDx talk — First the basics.
