  • 50odd is The Diary of a Man That Stopped Waiting.
    Dailyish stories for 10,000+ readers.

    It's what the world looks like.
    To me. From here.

    Notebook, not textbook.
    Blurty, not experty.

    Minutes to read.
    But they linger longer.

    What readers say.

    "Important guidance, wit, perceptive observation and grizzled hard earned wisdom. It’s all here, beautifully written..."
    Carlo Navato, Co-Founder, The Do Lectures.

    "50odd can touch your heart, tickle your funny bone and tempt you to rethink the everyday pedestrian norms, and raise your bar."
    Mary Keane-Dawson, Speaker & Writer.

    "50odd is a close and trusted friend to challenging me, entertaining me and - above all - reminding me why I love life."
    Tony Robinson OBE, Author, Speaker & Campaigner.

    "Mychael spits out insights and observations with regularity, honesty and humour. They always make me stop and think. They always reflect a part of him and maybe a part of us all. They sizzle like water on a hotplate, they sing with a kind of poetry, and there’s a new one every day. Every single day. For ten years. Brilliant."
    Mark Shayler. Founding Partner at The Do Lectures & Founder at This is Ape. Author, 'Do Present' & 'Do Disrupt'.
