Strong opinions, lightly held.
I’m Phil Dearson and I run Volcano Base. I do that on my own, with a collection of AI workers. I’m also lucky to have an extensive network of friends that can do all sorts of stuff I can’t do myself.
I have a background in performing arts but, since the invention of the web, I’ve been advising organisations about all manner of digital “stuff”. If you want the professional-sounding crap, here’s my LinkedIn profile.
People tell me my newsletter is pretty good. All the advice is to commit to a regular publishing schedule but, you know, life. You can get it at the bottom of this page. Join 1000+ clever-clogs just like you.
Um, what else?
I have a dog, nuclear family and live in a village on the Kent Downs, so I lucked-out at life. Want a picture of the dog? Here’s one.
I shall snoot you in your face!
