I think Matt has made the best decision to have time for his famly. A good family is the bedrock of a good society, I salute his courage, we all can borrow a leaf from his action.

Hi Phil
Matt stepping back is the right path for sure.

But there’s an even bigger picture: We need to ask “WHO the heck AM I ? (“What’s for you won’t go by you”… ) If we get to who we are then we begin to win – as long as we ACT on it. Next video covers this.

Excellent advice!

I still hope we get that pint of Guiness we spoke about earlier in the year. It may have to be a Budweiser or Coors when I get over to the States next year.

Glad you’ve taken the move to step back a bit. I missed a great deal of time with my kids when they were growing up through work commitments, time I will never, ever get back.

It’s important that we all take stock of our prioritise. I know that by the end of the year I will be adjusting my working practices to ensure more time with my gorgeous wife Susan and my two great “young-adults” Callum and Michaela.

All the very best and please, please don’t disapear out of the limelight all together

This is seriously good advice, a great move by Matt Bacak.

There’s a lesson in there: I spend far too much time floating in front of a glowing screen, and I don’t mean the TV. Lose all track of time.

Off to play with my kids now.
