Sometime this year a recession will hit the US and EU, and likely most of the world. Many companies will need to let go of a lot of people, or even go bankrupt. Unemployment will go up. Market growth overall will slow down (or even go negative), and inflation will kind of stay around the 4-5% ish for quite a while. It’s not Ragnarok, things will improve with time, but you don’t … [Read more...]
I went to a Muay Thai class on Monday, and I still almost can’t walk (Wed)…
I’m on this beautiful island of Koh Samui, Thailand now. I live in a 3-bedroom villa with my GF.

The land of Thai Boxing, right? And I love martial arts. Have been doing Kempo Arnis for … [Read more...]
Artisan Craftwork in the Information Age & on AI
I’d like to stress the importance of true artisan work in marketing. Information is cheap nowadays. There is too much of it. Too many reports, strategies, tactics. Nobody cares.What really matters is whether you are able to find the right information for your customer (or teammate) at the right time. And just the right amount of information, not too much, not too little. … [Read more...]
Once again at Affiliate World Europe
Affiliate World was the first biz conference I ever went to - it was the summer of 2018. The ticket price at the time was about $400 and I was like holly ****, there is NO way I am paying this much. Yet I was hungry for inspiration so I just sniffed out all the non-official, free networking activities and went to those.I remember this lunch at one of Barcelona's … [Read more...]
The Secrets of the Jungle
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...]
Off to Holiday
I just set up my Gmail autoresponder to tell you I’m away from March 13 to 20th in case you email me. Same goes for FB, IG, WA. I will be e-dead. Why?I’ll be doing something unconventional. 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...]
366 Days Of Meditation – The Lessons

Egypt with mom – some rants & lessons…
12 minute readIt's 2 weeks since we returned from our 12-day trip to Egypt, and I'm still feeling its sun, its energy, its sense of awe, of people turned gods on earth. Ancient Egypt has been my favorite historical era since primary school. I've read several books about pharaohs, particularly about Ramses II, and of course played computer games like Age of Mythology. My mom … [Read more...]
