Express it through words
I love to write. Expressing thoughts and ideas through writing can be so powerful. It can be used to share information, influence others, make others experience certain emotions, and much more.
I also love to learn. I am curious and like to understand how everything works together. What is it that drives people’s behavior, what influence does the ecosystem have, and how to we create system wide changes. This allows me to write about lots of different topics. Below are some of the things that I have written.
I am also in the process of writing a couple of different books. Stay tuned to learn more about them.
