I left Carlisle in my early twenties because talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn’t.

That belief has taken me across six continents, leading teams through crisis and transformation at some of the world’s largest organisations. From Switzerland to Korea, one lesson kept repeating: whether in global firms or small towns, people often miss the talent and opportunities right in front of them.

It’s why I founded the Purpose Made Podcast.

A podcast and platform exploring how challenge, change, and growth shape who we are. I sit down with athletes, entrepreneurs, creatives, and leaders to uncover stories that inspire resilience and offer lessons worth sharing.

Because people don’t follow strategies, they follow stories.

Stories that connect, challenge, and create purpose.

Beyond the podcast, I work with governments, charities, Fortune 500s and entertainment bodies to help leaders navigate change via my consultancy Purpose Made. My roots in gaming and transmedia storytelling (from my EA days) continue to fuel this belief: narrative drives behaviour as much as strategy does.

Outside of work, three brilliant kids keep me honest about what really matters and why we do the things we do. 

Kids have a way of doing that, right?

Connect to explore more, I’d love to hear your story too.

The man behind Marvel & Spider Man transmedia universe, Jeff Gomez, shares eye opening insights about out “superpositioned” digital identities existing simultaneously across platforms and how this fundamentally transforms narrative itself. 

You don’t need to adapt big franchises to use this concept, anyone creating any form of content should understand this. 

This is a great archive episode. Comment “JEFF” and I’ll send you the link to this masterclass in transmedia narrative.

Tim Cain, best known as the producer, lead programmer and one of the designers of Fallout 1997, has a fascinating approach on how to develop great games. 

In this archive episode, he breaks down how cross-disciplinary thinking shaped Fallout’s success and why the best work rarely comes from staying in one lane.

This mindset isn’t just for game design.
It applies to any creative industry where systems, people, and ideas collide.

Fallout (1997) didn’t succeed by accident.

A big part of its success came from a team building the same game, each person contributing in the area they were best at, with a shared vision.

Tim Cain’s take on collaboration and creative ownership is incredibly relevant far beyond games.

I've spent years speaking with the people who build the world's biggest IPs.

Gaming visionaries. Merchandising masterminds. Adaptation architects.

They've shared their playbooks, their pivots, and where transmedia is headed next.

Every conversation is live on YouTube. Comment "LINK" and I'll send it your way.

Masters of the Universe trailer has just landed and it looks epic!

Am I biased?

Possibly.

For so many of us, it was our childhood.

Will it trump the mess that was the ‘87 Masters?

Damn right.

I love Dolph Lundgren (don’t we all – Universal Soldier, Rocky, et al.)

But that 1987 film was a mess.

Can’t wait for this one.

Transmedia ≠ direct adaptation.

Mario 1993 ❌
Mario 2023 ✅

The difference?
World-building.
Audience experience.
Attention to detail (yes, especially music).

Storytelling isn’t copying.
It’s creating a universe people want to live in.

On the Purpose Made Podcast, I’ve been lucky to sit down with some of the leading minds in transmedia — unpacking their journeys, what actually worked, and where the industry is heading next.

It’s a true masterclass for anyone interested in narrative, IP, and world-building.

Music in storytelling is still too often treated as an afterthought: a layer added on top of the “real” work.

But that framing fundamentally misses the point.

Music doesn’t support emotion. 
It is the emotional experience. It speaks directly to the nervous system, bypassing analysis and language, shaping how we feel before we consciously understand why.

In games especially, music becomes the connective tissue; the element that binds mechanics, worlds, and moments into something cohesive and meaningful. 

There is so much more to say on the matter that I'll share a part 2 soon. 

But I'm curious to hear your thoughts: what place does music play in storytelling for you?

It’s not about the number of words you put into an hour, it’s about the number of hours you put into the words! 

It’s not the number of words that counts, it’s the intensity that has gone into the words that counts!

'Much more than a writer', 'a sound academic mind', and 'a joy to work with', are some of the reviews and feedbacks that I have received from my past employers and managers.
