“When the shit hits the fan, it won’t be our fancy revenue projection that sees us through. It’s going to be our interpersonal connections, our net(work).” 🤝I’ve mentioned this at some point during the retreat, as well as in the preparation when we talked about the purposes of the retreat. Sure, it’s nice to talk biz, and plan, and argue and brainstorm on the best … [Read more...]
On Goodbyes and the Sun
I said goodbye to my family today. My dad, my mom, her partner. My brother, his GF of 3 years whom I’ve just met. My sister, her partner and their adorable little toddler - my nephew. The very few short days I was here in Slovenia are ending, and it will be another 6 months or so before I see them again. And not just them. Goodbye to the house where I grew up.

When people asked me about how my jungle retreat went, I was usually reluctant to answer. You see, when you go on holiday, you usually go to see some stuff, to party, to have fun. And then it’s really easy to tell people how it was. “We went to see this cool *monument*, and then we went to this bar, and we met so-and-so, and then John got wasted…” I love sightseeing, traveling … [Read more...]
Your Self-Image, Photo Angles and Attraction
I look pretty jacked on the 1st pic, right? What about the other 3 pictures? Pic #1 and #2 had only minutes in between. And #3 and the #4 were taken less than 24h later.Posting pictures on social media is a huge mindfuck. Huge. It’s very complicated and has many layers. To a degree, it affects us all. I’ve been trying to understand this for a while now, but I think I am … [Read more...]

Will tell you what exactly in just a bit, but let us start with the most important question there is, The Why.My eyes hurt. My eyesight went from perfect to very bad in the last 2 … [Read more...]
