The Hidden Law of Nature: Cooperation
After ten years on the road — since leaving my rowing team near Noosa and tracing a trail through seventy countries — one truth keeps surfacing like the steady rhythm of oars slicing through still water: nature runs on cooperation.

As digital nomads, we often think we’re solo rowers out on a vast ocean, but look closer — every connection we make becomes part of the same crew.

Move Towards What Scares You… and Meet Your Success There
Let’s be real for a second: if success came wrapped in a cozy blanket with a cup of tea and zero discomfort, we’d all be billionaires by now.

How a Visa Stuff-Up Turned Into the Best Detour of My Life

Have you ever watched a lion on the African wild using their super power of focus on their prey? I was lucky enough to walk with the lions in Africa (with men and riffles) It was a masterclass in observation of single-minded determination and instinkt (also trust in the people who where in command of these beautiful creatures). I observed that as soon as you turn your back, the predator stands absolutely still, eyes narrowed, every muscle tense and ready. In those moments, nothing exists but the target—the hunt is everything. Pic: by unsplash Truth… Alright, full disclosure—I’m usually the first person in the room to get distracted and happily;…
