A word from Phil
Hello, I'm Phil. I'm 60. And I'm Still Figuring Things Out Too!
I turned sixty in December 2025. After years of helping businesses get to grips with technology, I found myself doing what a lot of us do: reading headlines about AI and quietly wondering whether I'd missed a meeting.
I hadn't. Turns out it's not rocket science. It's just a new tool, like a microwave or a sat-nav, that rewards a bit of curiosity. So I started experimenting, and I've been genuinely surprised by how useful it is for everyday things.
Life Begins At Sixty is where I share what I discover. The bits that work, the bits that don't, and the bits that make me laugh.
We're learning together. No jargon, no pressure to buy anything, and absolutely no asking a teenager to explain it.
And that's Lillie, my four-legged partner in crime. She's not particularly interested in artificial intelligence, although she's very enthusiastic about biscuits, beach walks and supervising my work.
Between us, we're proof that life after sixty can still be full of adventures. Although, to be fair, Lillie does most of the running these days! 😂
