The Solo Travellers Club

Curious about how humans and AI can co-create something meaningful? ... Then I invite you to come join me this Friday morning at Walk With Wisdom for a gentle riverside walk, then good coffee and a short 10-minute talk at O-Boats where I’ll be sharing the creative journey behind my new book, The AI-Resistant Mind – and how I co-wrote it with AI!

This isn’t your usual book launch – it’s a behind-the-scenes look at how I used ChatGPT as a creative partner, and what I learned about staying human in the age of algorithms.

If you’ve ever thought about writing a book, or you’re just curious about AI, I’d love to see you there!

ABOUT WALK WITH WISDOM - where conversation meets community on a gentle Noosa river walk along Gympie Terrace.
We’re a friendly group of coaches, creatives, therapists, and curious minds.
Each week we walk, talk, and hear a 10-minute insight from one of our members. Come to connect, share, or simply listen and make new friends.

🕢 Meet 7:30am – opposite Noosa Yacht Club (by Pirate Playground on river side)
☕️ Coffee stop & talk at O-Boats
👟 Walk, talk, share – allow 1.5 hrs total
All welcome – come walk with wisdom 🌿

This one made me look .. twice! 😲

The British Airways Concorde Supersonic Jet seen yesterday casually floating up the east river under the Brooklyn Bridge. It was being moved from the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum to the Brooklyn Navy Yard to undergo some restoration and will be back on display next year!
