I’m on the road for the entire month of May, starting off with a keynote Leadership speech in Cincinnati at the home of FC Cincinnati, The TQL Stadium, then crossing the Atlantic for a Leadership session in a Lovemark city – Lisbon, before two days of luxury in Raffles OWO London and a session with Sky’s Entertainment Group. On to one of the World’s Great Cities – Istanbul, for a Fast Company magazine workshop on Lovemarks, and two days of Leadership work with a leading MEA company – Averda, before heading down to Singapore, Auckland and Melbourne for two weeks of Family and AIA work. We finish up on a high in Lake Tahoe for Bob Latham’s beautiful daughter Kira’s wedding to Justin.
A priority on the planning front is ensuring my iPad is loaded with entertainment to help me through a flight schedule no sensible airline would ever put their crews through.
Here’s what I’m watching:
- Gangs of London – Series 2 – from Sky. Violent, edgy, brutal, compelling.
- Black Bag – Amazon Prime. A smart, unusual, beautifully designed spy movie – psychologically fascinating. Michael Fassbender – fresh from The Agency and The Killer (both 2024 favourites of mine) is brilliant. Is he the most intense, irresistible actor in movies today?
- Adolescence – Netflix. Maybe the most talked about series in the UK today. Trudy loved it. It’s on my list. Stephen Graham’s always worth watching.
- Mobland – Paramount+. UK organised crime, offbeat performances from Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, with True Grit from Tom Hardy. Directed by a lad’s favourite – the great Guy Ritchie.
- The Residence. Light relief. Cluedo on TV! The Butler didn’t do it – it did him!! An eccentric Detective, the White House upstairs/downstairs, Aussies (Kylie Minogue!). Watch this before you go to bed – you’ll be smiling in your sleep.
- 1923 – Series II – Paramount+. Taylor Sheridan on the job again! Helen Mirren again steals the show. She’s maturing like a fine wine.
- And three flight fillers from Netflix – American Primeval, The Are Murders and Helicopter Heist. (And The Gorge from Apple.)
Happy Viewing.
