I last went to @ambientefossgate / @ambientegoodramgate just over a year ago and to tell the truth, I didn’t have the best experience food or service wise.

Fast-forward to a few weeks ago when their team got back in touch saying that they noticed I hadn’t been in a while. I messaged back explaining the above which was met with an apology and reassurance that things had changed.
I’m always willing to give things a second chance and booked us in for a table this evening to give things a second try. Credit where credit is due - we had a lovely evening and the food was honestly fantastic (especially the brownie - oh my gosh it was so good). I’d also like to say this is a perfect example of a successful customer re-engagement strategy. They had the data on my drop off and sent an excellent set of emails which tempted me back to try again!

I’ve been a bit afraid to share this picture because I think I look fat. There, I said it.

Being up on the Barbican main stage speaking to 1400 people at a major tech conference is undoubtedly my biggest career highlight to date. Yet I’m still trapped by my own body insecurities and remain hung up on other people’s perceptions of the way I look. Despite being immensely proud of myself for having the guts to do this.
I have no conclusions, just an observation that it’s too easy to fall into the trap of aesthetic insecurity.
