UK Podcasters and New Media Europe
With my wife Izabela I founded and hosted UK Podcasters in Birmingham in 2014, then New Media Europe, a two day creator conference with its own awards, in Manchester in 2015 and London in 2016. I know what an organiser needs from a speaker, because I have been the organiser.
Traditional media background
Trained to get to the point
My background is in traditional media. That training is why I can take a big idea and say it clearly, in the time I have, to the people in the room.
I co-founded Music Radio Creative. Now I build AI agents on Creator Magic.
