Lockdown again in Futian, Shenzhen (schools closed, daily mandatory tests) so it is pushing me even more to decide where to move for Fall (Thailand, Philippines, Japan, Cyprus, USA)
Fathers Day 2022 – This is What Matters
And as a father of an 8 and 6 year old – this is what matters. The time I spend with them , support them, and encourage them to be good human beings. Maggie made a paper tie for me (in the photo) and insisted I wear it as soon as she returned home from school on Friday. Snapped a …
Proposal Party for Chris & Cindy ZhuZhu
It was a pleasure to be part of Chris Davey + Cindy “Zhuzhu”s wedding proposal party. Finally! After a few re-scheduling (I think mostly due to lockdown and COVID restrictions for the first half of 2022) it finally happened on Saturday June 11, 2022. Up in Mission Hills of Shenzhen (originally Huizhou but the rainy season changed that plan) – …
Grinding On The Foundation: Management + Systems
Investing more in Payroll / Finance / HR – painful parts for me, but we have built up an amazing team to do this and working to introducing a new process for payroll. Also the monthly reports have been getting so much better.
Friction & Pressure Is What Creates Diamonds
Thailand immigration prep, Handshake community drama, Lawsuits in Amazon, crypto bear market, just stay strong and realize this is when diamonds are created.
May 2022 Was An Avalanche
Last week was one of the more intense weeks we’ve had in a while. It was month end which is always crazy – huge payroll, also some shifting with client work, plus cross border payment mayhem.
Halfway Through 2022, All About Team Building
Still hunting for the next move for the family. Very complex, multi input/out process but leaning now to Thailand for the fall semester for the kids. Miles bday picnic
Our Family’s 2022 Living Situation (Visa/School)
Hi friend, I’m thinking why not just make it a blog post: So quite a few friends have been curious why am I still in China. And what is the plan. Last weekend the family took a trip to Huizhou city to look for options, but I think we need to step back and share the full story: July/ Aug …
Trip To HuiZhou (Hunt for Next Home)
On the hunt, again. Wendy and I want to stick in 1 place longer than a year – but covid and current events have made that close to impossible. We move down to Shenzhen from Shenyang the end of last summer (August 2021) to get our kids into school for the Fall Semester. Also I had gotten an opportunity to …
On the Move, Week Plan May 22-28, 2022
Typing up on my “lap” (no desk / table here), and somewhat taking some time off – but more it is looking at new apartments and schools to relocate our family to Huizhou (maybe)

Luciano and I are working on Excalibur Brothers brand using the Blimp Method (Brand Licensing Improved) with the Global From Asia community.

High Stakes, High Reward (5% of the time)
High rewards are not for the 95% of the day to day “Easy things”, but that 5% where there are really hard decisions to be made.
Speaking On Going B2B To D2C at the Benelux Chamber Event in Shenzhen, China
With Shenzhen opening up a bit, finally time to get out and network and speak. Well funny thing – this event was scheduled to happen in March but got pushed back due to the lockdowns (in 2022!) I was invited by Bob to speak at the Belgium, Luxembourg, Dutch Chamber event at Brass house bar in Futian, China on Friday …
Another Week Plan, Another Week of Growth
Pushing limits beyond what may have thought possible. But do feel we are “processing it” as a team and growing into it.
Brain Being Pushed (We Will Grow & Win)
Its a holiday but we cannot leave Shenzhen. Why? Our children’s school monitors and if we leave then there is a special process. I’m becoming an introvert / shut in these days anyway working online non-stop.
