I’ve developed a transformative business idea: a worldwide investment platform led by each country’s most successful women entrepreneurs and business leaders. The Concept: Imagine a coalition of the world’s most successful businesswomen, each leading from their own country, coming together to create a blockchain-based financial platform that establishes investment funds for newborn girls. This unique…
My Dear Darling Daughter
Between Mazes and Stars There was a time when shooting stars traced paths through the Frankfurt sky, not like ledgers but like ancient runes, speaking truths that no financial system could ever capture. I watched them from beyond the Westend towers,(Benidorm beach) Black Sabbath’s “Changes” echoing in my headphones, knowing Ozzy understood something fundamental about…
The Lost Game That Never Was
In the summer of 1979, between Art Garfunkel’s “Bright Eyes” making everyone weepy and KISS declaring their manufactured love on my first Walkman (a true miracle of Japanese engineering at the time), I was already dreaming of amazing adventures. The Atari, a marvel of its time, was still in its infancy, and the 2600 had…
My Mission; to make people see
In a world often shrouded by the “Sound of Silence,” where communication falters and divisions deepen, my mission is to illuminate humanity’s extraordinary capacity to bridge gaps and create meaning, even in the most unexpected places. Our journey begins with Simon & Garfunkel’s haunting melody, a poignant reminder of our struggle to connect in modern…
Concept of living long
When I talk about ‘long living,’ I’m not referring to some elusive quest for eternal youth. It’s more about mastering the art of gracefully stumbling through the years.It’s about stubbornly adapting to life’s twists and turns, with a healthy dose of dark humour to keep me going. While fiction gives us eternally young vampires, reality…
Rednecks & Re-birth
When Angola Came to Virginia: The Delicious Irony of Southern Food Pride Oh, the sweet irony of watching proud Southerners declare their “authentic Southern cooking” heritage while waving Confederate flags. Little do many know they’re celebrating culinary traditions that crossed the Atlantic in the holds of slave ships straight from the heart of Angola. Here’s…
A Möbius Tale
The Peculiar Dance of Humans and AI: A Late-Night Musing You know those moments when a mediocre movie somehow triggers an existential crisis? Well, there I was last night, watching some B-grade actors stumble through their lines when it hit me – we’re living in quite the ironic age. Here we have MuL and this…
Yesterday’s Tomorrow
Isn’t it fascinating how we all supposedly live in this brave new world of fluid relationships and boundless acceptance? Picture a Gen Z-er passionately explaining how love knows no boundaries, gender is a construct, and traditional values are as outdated as last year’s iPhone. All well and good… until Mom starts dating a married man.Suddenly,…
The greatest gift; Quirky Quest
Ever wonder why we humans are such peculiar creatures? We’re constantly on this wild goose chase for Significance, as if life’s a cosmic game of hide-and-seek where we’re trying to find our own importance. And boy, do we love our souvenirs from this quest! Picture this: You’re standing in a gift shop of life, surrounded…
College versus Runway
Here’s the thing about being a self-taught anthropologist and entrepreneur – imagine trying to explain to your family that you’re studying human behaviour while also building a business. “So… you’re people-watching for a living?” Well, kind of, but with more spreadsheets than they’d expect. My journey to founding CYcrds has been about as conventional as…
