Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of Black Eyed Peas, also I am listening to electro music, estonian national music, retro and pop music. I also listen to podcasts to learn such as Influence Theory, School of Greatness and some estonian ones like Relationshit, Täitsa pekkis and Be 1st!

I am also reading books that are telling story about some successful person or teaching valuable life lessons. Since I am trying to develop myself all the time then I enjoy books that make hungry for more.Examples: Navigate 2.0, A New Earth, Four agreements, Ricest man in Babylon, No Excuses, Clockwork orange, What to say when you talk to your self, You are a bad ass, Little gold book of Yes! Attitude, Take the stairs etc.

I love movies that are fun and also teaching something (trying to avoid violence). Good one I just watched is Hector and the search for happiness. All time favourites: Slumdog millionaire, Man called Ove, Tõde ja õigus (estonian)

Not too big into Tv series, but I am fan of "Friends" and watched some "Office and "Rick and Morty"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done a lot of amazing things like winning national championships, selling books door-to-door in USA and even leading my own student firm.

Also won a business idea contest and pitched my idea in ice cold water at the Polar Bear Pitching event in Oulu, North-Finland. That's where my love into ice water swimming started.

Graduated University and wrote thesis that was graded best grade "A".

Teach, Learn, Share

I feel that I am here to make other people and therefore myself happy. I want to teach people that they are their own bosses and they can do whatever they want if they take enough smart action. Also there is no such thing as failure: you can either win or learn.
That's why want to learn from people who have tryed a lot and therefore failed a lot but learned from it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to share my lovely home, be a good company and also I can help with city tour. I am offering breakfast and hot tea (:
