A new Service : Sam Retainer

The Context For a number of years, I’m often at the end of a phone call, Whatsapp message or email where a client asks a question which I can answer in a short space of time, without much effort. These questions include: The vast majority of requests, I never charged mainly because it rarely took […]
New look, old me

New look … the “why” Recently, I took the opportunity to give the website an overhaul. With the help of AI tools, I was able to do both what I needed and understand what I was actually doing – for the brain stimulation, definitely worth the learning curve even if it was well outside my […]
