Interests

Marketing

I have studied online marketing since I was a kid, I consider Ryan Holiday as my mentor, and by all means, read his work, worth your time.

Consulting

I do it when I have the time, from nutrition to personal advice to help people. Never thought about charging, it’s about giving rather than receiving.

Reading & Writing

It’s deeply appealing to not only read, but to be able to constantly put my personal research on paper. I’ve collected notes and highlights for a decade now, it’s almost a collection.

Psychology & Philosophy

The two fields that fascinate me the most. The gateway into understanding why we do the things we do, how to influence ourselves and be rational.

What I’m up to

Miscellaneous

???

I’m always digging one or two strange gigs out of curiosity. I’ve involved myself with recycling, kerosene, construction, charity work and even the stock market. The last one is still a personal favorite, but more of a hobby these days.
