Movie Script Update

5/3/2022

In 2018 for my Mum's 70th birthday we took her to Venice, Italy. On a bright, beautiful day in Venice, I was sat on my own next to the grand canal with my note book doing a goal setting process. As I sat with the sound of the boats going past and an Italian espresso in my hand I wrote about what I wanted life to be like.

I had always wanted to write a movie, visit Hollywood, experience the movies and more. So many of my goals revolved around movies and having new experiences.

At the time I was working full time on Rebel Business School and growing it, Simon (my business partner) and I were on a mission to change entrepreneurship education and really create impact in the world.

As I wrote out my goal of going to LA to write a movie I wondered to myself if I would ever get round to doing it. After my coffee I met up with Katie (my wife) and as we walked around the canals of Venice she asked a question that changed my life forever.

Movies, Hollywood and script writing

10/2/2019

Who would leave a successful business as it was exploding with success and travel half way around the world to try something they have never tried before in one of the most competitive industries in the world?

Is it crazy? When I tell people their faces tell me it is crazy!

I am going to Los Angeles in March and April this year. I am off to Hollywood to write a movie and work to sell the script to the studios afterwards.
