Heeeeyy!
I must confess that it took me a lot of time to write this introduction, and there were so many reasons for that. But the only thing that I had in my mind during all this process, was this part of Stromae's song "fils de joie":
"Le plus dur, ben, c'était la première fois. Puis le plus dur, c'est de savoir quand s'ra la dernière fois"
Meaning: "The hard part was the first time. But the hardest is knowing when will be the last time."
He was obviously talking about s*x workers, but I believe that it resonates with so many aspects of our daily lives.
The Four Questions
Anyway. I know why you are here, reading or listening to what I'm saying. I believe you've some questions, I will say 4, and I'm here to answer those 4 questions:
- How did I come up with this? What's the story behind?
- What I'm looking to achieve with this? What's the dream?
- Why I believe it's so important to do such a thing?
- How I will proceed?
For the Story...
Let's go back to summer 2023. After I decided to bring StartupOKLM's adventure to an end. Because, I was tired of being defined by the number of followers I've had rather than the value I was creating, and I was spending a lot of time on operational work rather than progressing and learning.
So I decided to spend most of my free time doing just nothing, getting really bored, and, to be honest, I was lost.
Weeks later, I remembered this conversation I've had with Franck Nouyrigat (Hello Franck), founder of Startup Weekend, Electis and many other ventures.
When I told him I was lost, he asked me about my role models, people who inspire me, I mean like if they had this private club, I will be so in love with the idea of joining them.
The Discovery
And I discovered 2 crazy things:
- I don't have as many people as I thought (probably no more than 15)
- They all share a lot of things in common
So I felt like maybe this is my new identity, my new self.
We are talking about people who:
- Don't care that much about money, but they care more about the value they're providing to people
- Care about technology, science, innovation
- Think outside the box
- Think about the future
- Value critique, discussion and feedback
- Write essays and share insights (but not on a daily basis)
But Why?
I feel like writing will help me clarify my ideas and go even further in my reflexions. Writing, I hope, will allow me to meet interesting people, just like my video content did before.
However, my writing needs to be useful; otherwise, it won't last for sure. When you know how you can impact people's lives, you wanna do more, help more, give more, and that's what I'm looking for.
To be honest, my ambition is...
To write interesting stuff that will be taken in consideration—things that can help people and societies, stuff that
