With my company Datarella we have specialised in Blockchain technology. Initially, we had started with data science and data analytics stuff, but moved on to Blockchain in 2015, when Ethereum was launched, the first distributed protocol we could use for industrial projects.. As with any new technology, the first months were tough, since nobody had heard of Blockchain or Distributed Ledger Technology DLT, as the engineers say. It was totally
A friend of mine who knows about my idea of maximising my health span recently lamented that he would also become more active and behave more healthily if only he could find the time and the right regimen to start with. Since the prevailing ‘no time’ argument and a certain unease regarding an overwhelming and partially contradictory amount of recommendations regarding fitness, diet and mindful living, I wrote down my own regimen
Since nutrition is an essential part of our REWIRE upgrade program, I‘m often asked whether there is a simple way to eat completely. healthily.. My answer: yes, there is a way to optimize your food intake — at least on a high level. If you plan to choose a healthy diet, you should address: what you eat and drink, how much you eat and drink, and how often you eat and drink. Most diet
Global defense spending is higher then ever, with USD 1.822bn, or 2.1% of global GDP. With over 200 million sold SUVs, the share of bigger and heavier cars has reached its all-time high representing 40% of annual car sales, today. We tend to defend ourselves and to hide behind armour. Driving an SUV, might — in a way — be comparable with driving a tank: sitting in an elevated position that provides

2019 was a year without a New Year’s resolution for me. I cannot tell whether that made any difference , for good or bad. However, I was inclined to give it a try for 2020 — which, at least, marks a new decade. The best thing about my actual resolution is that although I had no recollection of the 2016 one, it’s a refinement of it. In 2016, i wanted to cut out negativeity, in general. This time, I promise
There are lots of recommendations when to start a business. Mostly, we are advised to start-up when times are good and we can afford to invest some time and money in building our own self-employed careers. Since I’ve discussed that several times over the last weeks, and , as so often, my view does not fit into the prevailing view, here are my 2 cents: The best time to start something on
We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run”, the old adage by Roy Amara, was more than obvious during Diffusion 2019, a 400+ developers hackathon that took place in Berlin from 18–20 OCT 2019. Convergence, the coalescence of today‘s hottest technologies, AI and Blockchain, was the theme of two days full of workshops, talks, and, of course, hacking. The
Asked about his recipe for success in business, Richard Branson once said he hired people better than himself, have them embrace his vision and let them work on it by themselves. At a significantly smaller scale of success, I have applied his recipe since. And for our companies Datarella, Baltic Data Science and the newborn RAAY RE this has worked out perfectly. What holds true for employees, is true for business partners,
If the blind spot of today‘s economic, social and environmental management can be reduced to one single word, it is consciousness. Highly specialized actors in different domains focus on optimizing their respective fields of interest, neglecting interdependencies and not comprising reality as a whole but rather as many independent realities.
