"Hi everyone, I’m Grandad. I’m glad you’ve found your way here. I started this community because of a simple truth I’ve learned over the decades: Every day’s a school day. No matter how old we get, we never stop learning. But here’s the problem: when we learn things the 'hard way,' those lessons come with heavy 'School Fees.' I’m talking about the thousands of pounds lost on bad car deals, the months of heartbreak from avoidable relationship mistakes, or the stress of navigating a career move without a map. I’m here to help you skip those fees. My goal is to get to you before the mistake costs you. I’ve already paid those fees so you don't have to. Think of this group as your real-time 'Survival Manual'—a place where you can get a second opinion, a shoulder to lean on, or a practical roadmap for life’s trickiest chapters. I am a real person, and I’m in your corner. If you need to talk one-on-one, I’m here. Just send me a private message and we’ll navigate it together. Whether you’re looking for your first apartment, buying a home, managing weekly expenses, or handling those day-to-day mundane tasks that are all new to you—don’t pay the 'fee' alone. My goal is to get to you before the mistake costs you. To get us started, I’d love to meet you: Comment below and tell me—what is one 'School Fee' (a costly life lesson) you’ve paid recently that you wish someone had warned you about?" "I’d love to meet you. Share a photo, tell us where you’re from, and let’s start building a support community that turns those tough early life lessons into shared wisdom. Welcome to the family!"

Thanks for the welcome, Grandad My biggest School Fee was once prioritising a perfect contract over a healthy professional relationship, I learned the hard way that no amount of paperwork can fix a lack of trust I'm from Victoria, Malta and I'm really looking forward to leaning into the collective wisdom here to avoid paying for the same mistakes twice

I bridge the gap between raw vision and the audience experience, surfacing the soul of a project and polishing it to perfection.
