For my first post here I want to try to introduce myself in the most unapologetic and authentic manner possible. 🙃 Because the reaction I get from people when I tell them that I have never applied to a single job nor have I ever been employed is truly epic!
I am simply someone with a sort of stubborn optimism to find meaning in everything. My journey into full-blown creativity started at a drastically young age, and as far as my memory goes, my personal freedom of expression has been the key interest in everything I have attempted to achieve. From being able to intricately copy a drawing at the age of 6 to writing, producing, filming, and editing a high budget arthouse feature film before the age of 30 is something I am deeply proud of. 🎆
Without this being an autobiography, I am simply elucidating the facts leading up this short "how-to story"...
In a span of just a few years, I had the chance of building my global network and work on dozens of exciting projects and concepts while traveling to over 15 countries. From camping out in the rainforest with the last remaining Batanga tribe of Cameroon to exploring the furthest corners of the Himalayas with nothing but my film equipment and some clothes, I have challenged every fiber of my being and overcame the years of battling with anxiety. And successfully so, I found the holy grail 🏆 of stability, and yes, I found the joy of finally being at peace with doing only what I love without any hesitation!
The secret? That's BS, there is no secret! There is no one singular path nor tradition, nor practice, nor dogma or religion, and certainly no one "guru" that can possibly lead you there. Trust me or not, I did spend a good 15 years frantically researching and practicing almost every other accessible tradition out there; from Hermeticism to the Maha Ati. 😅 You have to figure it out on your own and put in the work, all anyone could do is show you that window sitting in your blind spot, but you have to turn around and open it.
Here it goes then. How to live freely, own your time, be your own boss, and of course create an astounding abundance while doing so?
Living by these simple "rules" has allowed me to overcome any challenge over the years. I have created a life where I choose what to do with my time. A life that is full of abundance and exciting opportunities. A life where I can bring a lot of meaning to everyone around me through creating amazing ideas and businesses that I just absolutely love.
I am totally sure that you can do the same! 💪

😂 'Tis true! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
Do you come from money?
Good one haha 🤣 I started freelancing when I was 14, never went to uni, and built everything from absolutely nothing. I had help from great friends with the networking. Everything else was self taught!
Very impressive. Could you share your portfolio?
Thanks! Of course.
