Greetings from Jerusalem, here in the Old City in Israel. I thought I'd give you an update on how things are going. We have now recorded three full documentaries:
1. The concept of Aliyah.
2. Who Is Israel, exploring the diverse identities that exist in Israel.
3. Today, a table where we brought together a Muslim, a Jew, a Christian, and an Armenian to talk about stories of coexistence.
It's genuinely been so beautiful. I'm having a great time, but we're really getting meaningful content.
I'm close to burnout because it's been 3 or 4 weeks of working without any real break. Tomorrow we are shooting our final doc before we pack down and the next day fly back to London. It's been a lot but I'm very excited for these movies to come out!
Have an amazing week!

What's happening this week
In this episode, Mike sits down with Sope Agbelusi for an honest conversation about work, identity, ambition, and the often uncomfortable process of becoming the person you’re meant to be.
Sope is an executive coach and the founder of MindsetShift, where he helps leaders work with greater clarity, confidence and impact.
Together, Sope and Mike explore the questions that sit underneath personal growth. What gives life meaning beyond the job you do? How do you keep moving when the path ahead isn’t clear? And what really changes, mentally and spiritually, when you finally step outside your comfort zone?
It’s a conversation for anyone who’s felt stuck between the life they have and the life they want. Because often, what holds us back isn’t a lack of opportunity. It’s the fear of letting go of a life we’ve grown comfortable in.
Opportunities and one specific ask, in that order.
In this masterclass Mike takes us through how he built his portfolio career, including the parts that didn’t work. He’ll cover how to choose the two or three pursuits that compound rather than compete, how to fund a portfolio career in the early years when nothing is paying properly yet, how to build a skills stack that makes you difficult to replace, how to sequence commitments so you are not permanently exhausted, and how to position yourself so other people can explain what you do in one sentence.
This is for anyone building more than one thing at once, or anyone who suspects they should be and hasn’t worked out how yet.
Tickets are free for Hyphen House members and £25 for everyone else.
Keep your notifications on and your eyes peeled for more updates across the network and have an amazing end to the week!
