A real, unscripted conversation. 30 minutes. No agenda, no framework slides, no “let's fix your parenting” energy.
Sometimes it helps just to say it out loud to someone who's been in the trenches for 22 years and isn't going to judge.
We talk about whatever's actually on your mind as a parent right now — a worry you can't shake, a moment with your child you keep replaying, a decision you're stuck on, or honestly, nothing in particular.
This isn't a coaching session in the formal sense. It's closer to what the name says — an original chat: unscripted, unrehearsed, just two people talking. The kind of conversation you'd have with a friend who happens to know a lot about parenting, over a coffee — except it's on Zoom and the coffee's optional.
A few years ago, I came across Bob Buford's book Halftime: Moving from Success to Significance. Buford's idea is simple but it stuck with me: the first half of life is spent chasing success — building, achieving, proving. The second half, if you let it, can be spent on something quieter but more lasting: significance. Using what I've learned to actually help the people around me.
Original Chat is my small “halftime” offering: no pitch, no programme to sell in this conversation — just what I've learned, handed back to another parent who could use it.
I've spent 22 years figuring parenting out — not as an expert from the outside, but as a father in it: getting things wrong, adjusting, and slowly building something that worked.
Share a few details below and book a 30-minute slot. That's the whole sign-up.
30 minutes on Zoom about whatever's on your mind. No script, no slides, no judgement.
If something I share helps, you're welcome to buy me a coffee afterwards — but that's never the point.
You don't need to be in crisis, and you don't need a “real” problem.
Sometimes the best conversations start with “I don't even know what I want to ask.”
Just share a few things so I can show up ready for you — not to screen you.
I'll be in touch shortly to find a time that works.
