Doing what you love vs. what makes you financially comfortable
It has been written about repeatedly and I do not expect to add anything useful to the discussion let alone offer real advice. But I need to put my thoughts in writing to perhaps gain more clarity of thought. I find myself in the age-old cliché and privileged situation of indecision towards my future path…

Why intermittent fasting isn’t for you
Having done intermittent fasting or IF as it is often shorted for probably close to 5 years I find myself quite capable of listing pros and cons and giving advice on whether it is a good idea or not. You could perhaps think that having followed it for 5 years I would recommend it to…

The Myth of Sisyphus starring the hopeful entrepreneur
One of the hard parts about entrepreneurship is the lack of acknowledgement and appreciation when starting out. No one really knows what you are doing.
