Creating courses ain’t easy. I guess nobody said they would be. But I didn't think they'd be this tough! It’s fair to say over the past few months weeks of asset creation, cobbling together cue carded talking points and generally trying to make something

I’ve spoken many times about our lack of attention toward all things marketing. But you’re writing a blog post I hear you shout. Sure! You’re right, it’s kinda marketing. I guess. Not in the traditional sense of being related or beholden to growth stats and arbitrary

Have you ever fallen so far out of the habit of doing something it becomes almost impossible to get back into the swing of things? That’s what happened to me over the past 6 weeks. 🙈 Hiring took the place of everything. And by everything I mean everything! In hindsight,

Since returning to the reality of my day-to-day after spending a week with the team in Bangkok I find myself reflecting on our culture. On what it means to be part of HelpDocs. I’ve spent the week engrossed in it. Living nothing but the culture day-to-day with people I’

I would make a crap CEO. 🤷‍♂️ I’m not even kidding. I look at people I’ve worked for in the many jobs I’ve had and I just can’t see myself being that kinda person. I’ve no doubt I could build something. Eventually. I mean shit, give

It’s 9:07pm on a Tuesday night. I’m sat on the sofa in my living room. My wife’s gone to bed to read. It’s now my time for the TV. 💪 I fire up the Xbox. Shove my copy of Fallout 76—don’t @ me—into the

I’m exhausted. Fatigued by a week-long deluge of “Dear Hiring Manager” and generic cover letters. In the latest entry to our epic hiring adventure, we decided to disregard our previous experiences with online job boards. Organic applications had stalled and we found ourselves in the position of wanting to

I’m sat at my desk, an old dining table crammed into the corner of what will become my office. It’s still light outside. I can hear the birds chirping away. Going about their business. Free to fly around like it’s any other Wednesday. I guess it is.

The rock'n'roll life Seb had imagined it to be. He was a drummer struggling to make ends meet. His bank account was often full of zeroes. Unfortunately there were no other numbers on the left. 😬

Next stop, middle of nowhere. That's how I felt every time I got on the bus to my grandma's village. It's one of those teeny villages where everybody knows everyone. And everything about everyone.

Have you ever tried washing your hands in freezing cold water? It doesn’t work. They never _really_ feel clean. And after, you’re left with the slightly soapy painful chill of not-quite-clean ice-cube-fingers.

From the death of a loved one to losing your job, it’s fair to say Matt only wanted one of the “five most stressful life events” to happen this year. 🙈

*VROOOOOOOOOOOOOM* Death on wheels came close to claiming me for the third time that day. 🚘💀 I didn't feel like exploring Rome anymore. I wanted to be in bed, away from careless drivers and rancid crowds. My stomach, however, was quick to remind me I was on an important mission—operation Feed Me.

If I’ve learned one thing during the 8 months I’ve spent following HelpDocs, it’s that this company is truly unique. The people here are even more so. If I was to go into detail about everything that makes them unique, I’d have a book. Probably multiple
