100% of the Royalties are being donated to charities related to James’ Story including The British Heart Foundation & Cardiomyopathy UK.

After months of work behind the scenes, I’m beyond excited (and yes, a little nervous!) to share that my book is officially published.

Because of my heart condition, I can’t run a marathon — but I can bring people together. So, to celebrate my book launch, I’m hosting a fundraising event in support of The British Heart Foundation and Cardiomyopathy UK.

I had already been diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy – a heart condition that changed everything – but it was in Autumn 2021, after my heart rhythm changed that I faced the real possibility of needing a heart transplant. While waiting for answers, I made myself a promise: write the book.

That promise became The Collision Code.(Fortunately, I’m stable right now, though still reviewed every 3 months.)

Inside the book you’ll find entrepreneurial stories from the rise of Student Beans to the fall of Causr, plus practical tools and reflections to help you feel more connected, fulfilled, and ready for whatever’s next.

It’s about the themes that matter most to me — connection, serendipity, community, and living with intention — all brought to life through real experiences and lessons learned.

I look forward to seeing you there on the night.

A big thank you to our host & Venue Partner:

Entrepreneurs First (EF) turns exceptional individuals into funded founders. Some might have an early idea, others may need a cofounder. What matters is their potential. We back these founders first, then give them a bridge to Silicon Valley. To date, their companies are worth > $11B.

If for any reason you’re not able to attend the night but would like to help contribute and still be involved there are a couple of things you can do:

1. Feel free to donate to either one of the JustGiving Pages – here for Cardiomyopathy UK or here for The British Heart Foundation.
2. Of course you also can buy the book: https://a.co/d/a0kJjkL– whilst 100% of ticket sales on the night are going to charity (I’m donating the costs of the books and any associated costs of running the event) as an ongoing commitment to these good causes: 100% of the royalties are being donated to The British Heart Foundation & Cardiomyopathy UK.

A big thank you to all your help and support. It is really appreciated.
