Positive Energy Is a Chain Reaction

Gordon Dean was a distinguished American lawyer and prosecutor. One of the original members of the Atomic Energy Commission, he became its chairman from 1950 to 1953. It’s said that when Dean died in a plane crash in 1958, among his personal efforts was an envelope with nine life lessons scribbled on the back. These lessons aren’t about the law or about atomic energy. They’re wisdom about his...

RockFish... Opening soon!

Opening RockFish in Plymouth feels like such an obvious thing to do.

My top three marketing tips and how they got me some free stuff

So I was at the Devon County Show today and I struck up a conversation with one of the traders. It turned out we both hailed from the same place.

He eventually asked me what I did for a living and when I said media and marketing he responded with: “Okay, give me your top three marketing tips”, which I did.

Inflation or deflation? That is the question...

...Which is more beneficial to savers?

Since 2008, investors have been questioning whether it is inflation or deflation that haunts them.
