I went through hell and back in the past several years, which culminated earlier this year with a severe case of burnout and depression. Iām not going to list all of the causes of this, Iām just glad to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Iāve taken a step back for the past few months, to take care of my health, prepare for the future, and find myself again. Some might call it a midlife crisis, I call it a midlife wake up call.

I realized that throughout 20 years of serial entrepreneurship, workaholism and the obsession to change the world, I had forgotten about myself, my kin and society at large.

So I decided to change my world first, and my eyes opened even wider than before. We need cooperation, not another corporation.

Iāve been bullied, for lack of a better word, by many people in my life. School tried to make me conform, people tried to make me feel bad, psychiatrists tried to change me, the corporate world tried to make me one of them, and the media tried to make me ignore reality.

It didnāt work. As the expression goes, they tried to bury me, but they didnāt know I was a seed.
I will no longer feel unworthy, or arrogant for sharing my intelligence, my knowledge, my opinions and my experience.

I now believe it is the very best thing I can do in order to put some good in this world, and hopefully spark the movement Iāve been trying to create, albeit in the wrong ways, but for the right reasons.

Iām a man of many words, I have A LOT to say. Since Iām too much of a perfectionist to write at a decent speed, Iāll soon switch to video. It might be a bit disorganized at first, so please bear with me while I find my way into some sort of order.

We live in an extraordinary and historic moment of human civilization, teetering at the edge of a return to the dark ages, and the beginning of a new renaissance.

As we get inundated with hate, lies and propaganda from our governments, our institutions and our media, I want to send waves of love, truth and information, before we pass the point of no return.

Make no mistake, weāre on the brink of a global conflict, a mind war, and this is a post-truth society for some. We must stop giving them attention, and leave them behind if it comes to that. Regression is unacceptable, progress is key.

From intolerance and racism to oppression and even war, the time has come to stop living in the past and start working for a better future. The old world is dying, and we are privileged to be a part of the new worldās genesis.

If thereās one take away from my connecting, talking and most importantly, listening to thousands of people from so many countries, cultures and backgrounds, is that thereās a lot more of us than them.

I know youāre fed up, but *nothing* is as complicated as the āpowers that beā have led us to believe.

My gloves are off. Letās put an end to divide and conquer, and give a shot to unite and prosper instead.
I love you all so much <3
