It's the end of the year, a time for personal episode again. 2023 hasn't been an easy journey for me, and I believe it's crucial to discuss struggles, fears, and losses. Life isn't defined by the absence of problems but by how we deal with them. Everything in life has a flip side of the coin. You can't choose 'no problems,' only the price you're wi…

Making sacrifices is a risk that few have the strengthto take and go forward with, and those who do are worthy of admiration since they put alltheir effort and work into something uncertain.Today's guests are a couple who sacrificed much of t…

So often, people need to have a reason to take action. It can become difficult to chose between investment and return, especially when helping others? Does there really need to be a return or is it about how we feel ourself doing it in the first place?A while ago, I had the chance to help a friend who found himself in a difficult situation. All I d…

Introvert or Extrovert. Most of us heart these terms before, but who can recall any business training, strategy or job motivation that did not seem to be for the extroverts.I belief that this is more on the behavioral site than a real character trade and this behavior being caused by different intrinsic motivations. Nevertheless it occurs in each o…

While working on this podcast episode, I stumbled upon this text:F–– You MoneyBack in the 1920s, the actor Humphrey Bogart used to keep a $100 bill in his nightstand at all times. That’s the equivalent of over $1,200 today. He referred to it as his ‘f–– you money’, because it meant he’d never be forced to take a part he didn’t want. He once said th…

Is a minimalist life possession free?No, it is well curated!Things that minimalists own, fulfill a purpose and often you will find a lot of high quality items in their daily life.That is because they don‘t like trash in their life and things that are used regularly are therefor higher quality. You see, being a minimalist is not about saying no. It …

Often I am addressing those of you, to whom happiness is a choice. I include myself into this category. No matter how much we think that life is fooling us, it is on us to choose what we make of it.

With a lot of quiet time there is space to think. About life and what it means to us, to me.What will happen when we don‘t put the money on the table and expect the most for it.

The beginning of this year has been in the name of change and growth.

As you know, I love the ocean. I love sailing and it makes a perfect metaphor for life.It also is a decent tool for coaching, mainly because of the lack of distraction.

In the last episodes I talked about the up & down cycles of success (and happiness), the opportunities, and the possibility of growth. All of these need you to see and value your achievements.
