Set out 60km into the Atlantic with a mix of Norwegian researchers and South Africa’s best whale crew…

…and ended up surrounded by humpbacks, southern rights, dolphins, seals and even a sunfish.

One of those rare, bucket list days that actually lives up to it.

South Africa really is something else.

Your video content, who's it for? what action do you want them to take after watching?

This week’s podcast explores why quality content matters more than ever - and how quickly your perceived value can drop when you put out cheap, low-effort material. We talk about the reality that even a beautifully shot three- or four-minute video might not hold attention beyond the first 10 seconds, and why clarity of purpose beats production budget every time.
You’ll hear how simple video content - even filmed on an iPhone - can help you attract investment, recruit the right people, and increase sales conversion rates when it’s done with intention.

Available to download and stream from Thursday.

Axel decided this was a good spot to take his first steps. What a choice, thanks buddy. With his grandparents in tow also.

Special place, special times, special memory.

Saved and permanently etched. ❤️

Of all the photos, of all the adventures, the holidays, the weekends, the trips with friends, the wild experiences- there is nothing, absolutely nothing that comes close to how I feel looking at this photo!

Axel - you are everything that is great, fun, positive and motivating that exists in my life.

I’m no wordsmith, so this post copy may appear to be garbage and cliche but OMG - I’ve never been as proud and as happy as I am looking at this and sharing this image.

I love you. I’m inspired by you. I look up to you.

Axel already stealing hearts on his first adventure in the City of Light ✨🇫🇷 Couldn’t be prouder of my little globetrotter and even prouder of my amazing wife, Helen, for making this trip so special. I can’t wait to explore the rest of the world with you two 🌍❤️

“Welcome to the wild side”

Introducing Axel Arty Finlay William Voller

Never been as proud as I am now of my wife, @helennatashavoller and the new life we’ve created.

Truly overwhelmed, proud, happy, excited and in awe.

Helen and I are so in love with you, Axel. We cannot wait to show you the world and see you grow, we’ll be there for you every step of the way.

And why the name?

Axel is the father of peace and a combination of intelligent and creative. Arty comes from Artemis, the Goddess of nature and wild animals. Finlay, my beautiful cousin who sadly lost his life way too early but will always be remembered for his infectious smile and joy for life 🌻. William, continuing the long tradition of passing down the first name through the generations of the Thomson family. And Voller, well thanks Mum & Dad :)

Axel was born at 23:09 on March 22nd 2025 in pretty wild circumstances, that’s for another day. But we’re stoked, you weighed in at 9.1 pounds with the chubbiest of cheeks! 👶

And finally, a huge thank you to all of the staff at the NHS, without you guys and your intervention, we simply wouldn’t be here.
