Notes

Bart and I are going to build something new every week. First lesson: dog food has slim margins, and mobility products shouldn't make you feel old.

A year with an au pair — what it made possible for our family, and a thank-you at the end of a chapter we'd choose again without hesitating.

Over two decades of international work, and now I'm turning my attention closer to home.

Today was extremely productive. After hours of data cleansing and on boarding a new CDO on the client project I close the day with a beautiful sushi meal, tired, but satisfied.

Rucking is the ultimate "strength-aerobic" hybrid. For a 95kg athlete, it’s not about the finesse of a 4:30/km run; it’s about structural integrity and grit.

I used to chase the sunrise on my runs. Now, I chase the breakfast chaos. I’ve traded my "ideal" morning miles for early afternoon rucks while the kids nap.

Building brands worldwide is about precision, but I find my true "flow state" at the cutting board.

From dental clinics to global beauty brands, the question is always the same: What do people actually need right now? Hint: It’s not more theory.

From a 15km treadmill comeback to midnight laundry after a bed-wetting incident—life has a funny way of humbling you.

In many cases, getting content live fast beats getting it perfect — especially when you’re trying to understand what actually resonates.

The first days of the year look calm on the outside, but underneath there’s often more pressure than in November or December.

These days always feel strange: less structure, fewer calls, more noise in my head than in my calendar.

Tired of rigid public holidays? What if we flipped the script—closed shops on Wednesdays and kept weekends buzzing? Life doesn’t always follow a calendar, so why should our breaks?

Embrace the future by focusing on what's next, not just the past. My experience with a US CEO taught me that forward-thinking drives success. Reflect wisely, but always keep your eyes on the road ahead.

Rafael Nadal's legacy goes beyond his titles. His unwavering dedication, humility, and resilience inspire me as an entrepreneur. Nadal shows that true success is a continuous journey.

Welcome back to my blog series where I share my training experiences and the life lessons they reveal.

Hello everyone, welcome to the first entry of my rolling blog series, where I share insights from my training sessions and how these moments reflect on larger aspects of my life and work.

It's through channels like the "Think Fast, Talk Smart" podcast that I continually refine my approach, becoming a more effective professional, manager, and partner. This episode with Celine Teoh really hit home.

In endurance training, it's not just the physical challenges but also the mental battles that define our performance.

I want to share some of my personal views and experiences about how advancements in generative AI are reshaping the art of content creation and why it matters to you.

Twitter + Elon Musk has been a match made in heaven. Now, the Tesla and SpaceX entrepreneur is set on buying the social media platform „of his dreams“ and make some big changes.

I see every interaction with people around me as a singular relationship; one that needs attention, interaction and love to succeed.

Preface by author Remco Livain – Why I need to improve on my typing skills Breaking habits is hard, especially those you have become accustomed to over long periods of time. Typing is one of them, for me.

We have had our fair share of elections and politics in the last few weeks with the elections in the United States, The Netherlands and France. I have to admit that politics is not something I follow on a daily basis.
