Behind the mic for the first time in a long time, to give you a bit of an update on life, and where I see the world (and us) heading.
After 7-8 months on a waitlist (and almost 47 years), I sat down with my psychiatrist yesterday to FINALLY receive an ADHD diagnosis. You guys had some questions on instagram, so here I am digging it and breaking it down. Obviously, this is my experience only and is not health advice.
Liss Amyah... wow. I mean, talk about living a big life.

Today, we tell her story. Follow Liss on instagram @lissamyah Follow me on instagram @karlosophies

I've known Dan Norris for probably around 15 years, and I've seen him go from relatively unknown web developer, to the man of the moment. I've watched his meteoric rise from the sidelines; cheering him on, whilst also being a little envious of his success. He was a man who had it all... best selling books, speaking all over the globe, and one of the fasting growing businesses in the country (a brewery he ran with a few mates; Black Hops). But that all changed when after a number of years of huge...

In this continuation of my conversation with Lisa Corduff, we talk about our own personal experience with Autism and ADHD and the impacts on our lives, and busting out of your bubble.
After a big old period of inconsistency, I'm back behind the mic. And there was literally no one better to rip off this bandaid with than my old mate, Lisa Corduff. After all, she was my very first ever Karlosophies interview! What a monster few years we've both had. This catch up was so big we've ended up with two hour long interviews. The first one is the story of Nick passing away from alcohol addiction and where life has taken her since. To find out more about Lisa, head to her instagram @li...
