I know more than a little about change and transformation. The first part of my life was in Scotland. The second part is in England. My parents made a radical life change that would affect our whole family.
I dropped out of school at 15-years-of-age. My first job was as a landscape gardener. Then a hairdresser. Then a salon owner. Then a business growth consultant specialist in direct response. Then a specialist in growing and increasing clients’ businesses. From huge corporations to small start-ups and more.
I was also a fully ordained religious minister for over 21-years. During that 21-years I attended Bible speaking and training every single week. I left that faith in 2005. I have given literally hundreds upon hundreds of talks all over the world. Last year alone I was invited to Tbilisi, Georgia to give a future-thinking talk called I AM THE FUTURE to a corporation of over 8000 people.
I have worked for myself since 1985. I have also been hired by well over 400 companies to advise, create and motivate.
I specialise in human change and behaviour and futurism … what’s coming next for business and life.
I have also been through a brutal divorce in the past, been homeless for some months, lost everything through forced bankruptcy and survived.
Today I have more than everything I need. I have written around 15-books and literally millions of words on my blogs over 20 years.
I am happy, married to the love of my life. I became a father again. We have a son named Demna Davit and a daughter named Keso Elene. I live between Manchester, England, and Tbilisi, Georgia. I also speak one of the rarest languages on Earth, Georgian or Kartulad.
Life has been the most wonderful story I could have ever dreamt about and it just gets better.
I have lived and experienced things most never will. I know there is more to humans. There are powers and other things we just cannot understand but we can see and we can accept. These are wonderful human secrets that can be unlocked. I feel on more than many occasions I have unlocked them and made the most incredible use of them.
Life really can be more than what you might be feeling it can be. It is a choice an option and a moment where you become what you have always been able to become.
What’s next?
My current writings of course and books, Escape from Zoomanity, Deliberate Recreation, I AM BASTARD I AM WAR, Happiness, and other books can be found here and on Amazon.
I am working on more books, a movie script, a TV script, and a few other projects including a writer’s retreat house in the Republic of Georgia where my wife and I also live.
I have become a filmmaker and have big plans to enhance that direction.
