Digging around the grey areas is the only way to get the real story. Lately I've been doing this with journalism so that I can explore new areas without committing to a book (as like many writers, I also do a day job/freelance work).

My latest obsession has been the changing face of masculinity and I examined this with men aged 18-87 for The Independent last summer. Men were the best story tellers when I was researching my book and they were touching, candid interviewees once again for this piece.

I also asked men & women to explore how their sexual lives have evolved over the course of their lives for The Guardian. Again, show stoppingly candid interviews that reveal the true nature of people's intimate lives as opposed to the broad - often short sighted - brush strokes created by the media.

I enjoy exploring the disparities between the world we think we live in - and the world we actually live in.

Social media is a great example. It can feel like such a tyranny but it has also made us far more accountable - whether as humans, consumers or as brands - and more collaborative. The digital world is constantly throwing up opportunities to trust, connect and co-create with total strangers whether via Airbnb, Uber, Borrow My Doggy and guess what? People are actually mostly ok. The world is almost certainly safer and more benign than we perceive it to be, despite the barrage of terrible news.

At least this is what is possessing me today. Ask me tomorrow and it will be something different.
