I’ve been travelling!

I met up with Saj P (Alex Goad’s business partner) and Adeel Chowdhry in London. We brainstormed plenty of IM projects and ideas whilst drinking Starbucks followed by beers! And guess what? Tim Godfrey of Niche Blueprint fame dropped what he was doing and joined us too! Great session in central London.

I’ve also been up to Manchester to meet up with many of my northern JV partners….. Rob Benwell, Chris McNeeney, Ken Oboh, Michael Cheney, Steven Lee Jones, Mo Latif and even Andrew Fox flew over from Belfast for a private IM brainstorming session and plenty of beer flowed that night too! How Foxy got up at 5am to catch his flight back to Belfast is beyond me…

Birmingham, London, Manchester…… where next, Chris?

Edinburgh – the captial of Scotland!

I met up with my long-time pal (well over 3 years in IM is long!) John Ward. John’s a great SEO guy and also knows a thing or too about video. More beers.

And, I mustn’t forget my trip to Peckforton Castle in Cheshire where Alan Forest Smith hosted a special entrepreneurs party with a Celtic theme. Yes, I wore a kilt!! Neil Stafford has the photos, so I’m sure he’ll email them to me soon. It was a superb location (where they filmed Robin Hood) which was also enjoyed by my wife and even my 1 year old daughter!

Hope you enjoyed this short insight to where I’ve been recently?

My advice is to really build those relationships with your JV partners and the best way is to get out there and meet them!

Talk soon,

Chris
