Hey , welcome back to The Sunday Summary a collection of insights and my behind the scenes from the past week.
📻📰 A London feature
Why London’s black cabs are fighting for survival - The Telegraph

✍🏻 Some journal prompts I’ve been mulling over
What do I want from my YouTube channel in 2025?
I went to a dinner earlier this month with creators and business owners. I was flippantly asking this question to others, BUT it completely stumped me when applied to my own creative endeavours!
Here’s a couple more that take a little bit more thought than first expected
What do I think is productive that isn’t?
What was one of my favourite ways to spend time this year?
📺 On Tom The Taxi Driver this week
Big thanks to Dean Warrington of WizAnn for providing me access to WizAnn Gold Membership so I could film this. If you’re a Taxi knowledge student, I cannot recommend his school and products highly enough!

Tom
