excitable strategist CURIOUS OF THE WORLD

Being in the creative industries pretty much guarantees you won’t be able to follow a predetermined career.

Instead, opportunity and temptation will come at you from the most random corners.

I have done lots of weird stuff, learnt loads, won a bunch of awards, and had the time of my life (so far). Still being alive is also a bonus. Tolerated by Annie for almost 30 years, during which time we produced two amazing new humans, now adult and taking on the world in their own unique ways.

A lifetime of being curious about the world. Have been lucky enough to have been paid to explore large parts of it and its people.

Events surrounding the Lockdown gave me the time to really consider life. While I can’t remake my past, I can make a better future for others, investing and mentoring the next generation of add ball thinkers.

I will always be Philip Slade, flawed, but constantly learning.
