Hey! It's Geraint.

This past weekend I was made to stand outside a store, in the pouring rain (with no jacket), because it was a "health risk" to have more than 5 people in the store.

Despite the rules of social distancing being downgraded from 2m to 1m soon, and with an abundance of space inside (people were at least 6m to 10m apart), it seemed like the ever-changing government advice overruled human-decency.

The person telling me to stay outside was closer to me than I would have been to the next customer - if I was inside. A massive contradiction.

I was soaked.. and it got me thinking about extremism outside of fanatical behaviour.

Would you follow the rules, even if there seemed to be no consequence to bend them? ... and how is it that staff weren't in masks or gloves, but still made customer's stand on yellow circles around 6 metres apart inside the store, before getting in arms-reach to hand you the package.

Instead of boring everyone with my anecdote and how collecting a bench has clearly affected me, I decided to write a 'one-minute wonder', which is a blog post that can be read in 1 minute or less. This is it....

Is there a new wave of social extremism?

Coaching calls

Last week I also trialled coaching calls via my instagram and had loads of fun chatting to you all - and helping you set-up your own businesses, or validating your business ideas.

If you think it may be for you, you can find it here: https://meetfox.com/en/e/geraint-clarke-1/1

I give out so much FREE business and marketing advice on my blog, but not all of it is tailored specifically to your needs. That's where coaching comes in.

As always, thank you for reading and I hope to be speaking to a lot more of you soon.
