How a Visa Stuff-Up Turned Into the Best Detour of My Life
Ever had life serve you a curveball so wild you could either cry into your coffee… or laugh and roll with it? Spoiler alert: I chose the second option (with a cheeky glass of wine on the side).

The Most Successful Business Model in the World? Religion.
What do you mean? (scratching your head) When we talk about successful business models, we often think of Apple, Amazon, or Google. But if you take a step back and zoom out over centuries rather than financial quarters, you’ll see that the most enduring, influential, and wildly successful “business” model the world has ever seen is… religion.
