About Me

ABOUT ME

An entrepreneur who started life in a startup incubator in Bali and moved to London to build a tax service software company.

PHILOSOPHY

A wacky mixture of stoicism, existentialism and buddhism with the occasional New Agey stuff thrown in.

I believe that life is magnificent and perfect as is. I believe that we are always in the right place at the right time and our daily discomforts, complaints and fussing mean nothing if we look at the big picture of our lives. So I say - be serious, but not too much. Learn to fail, learn to win, learn to just sit back and reflect and don't forget - the dots will connect. Just not now :)
