Thoughts from a Young Entrepreneur – Is 150 Days Enough to Change Your Life?

Personal Update

On July 1st, 2017, my whole life changed. I was back officially from my one-year RV trip across North and Central America.

3 Lessons I Learned from Running a Half-Marathon That Are Applicable to Your Investment Strategy

Blog, Investing Strategy, Personal Update, Principles

On October 1st, I completed my first half-marathon. I don’t consider myself a “runner” per se. I do enjoy running 6km under 30 minutes. It helps clearing my head and it gives me the kind of energy I need to go through my hard days of work. However, there is a world between running 6km and 21km!

I had exactly 3 months to …
