Well now I feel completely “back” since covid – making a return trip to DCBKK (Dynamite Circle Bangkok) since 2019’s. They had one last year in 2022 but I missed as I was just “recovering” from getting out of China. As always, the event didn’t disappoint – arriving on Wednesday Oct 18 and intense meetups, workshops, and just informal mastermind …
Family Day! Swimming on a Saturday Afternoon
Back in Chiang Mai from a hyperactive Prague /Copenhagen business trip, jet lag was a 1 day delay to hit me. Getting some rest and relaxation on Saturday when my daughter Maggie comes to me and asks. Daddy- can we go swimming! Please!!! You know, life is short. There is a pile of work on my desk, especially for the …
Experience At Mariko Presents Private Space in Prague
While in Prague, I did some private events at Mariko Presents venue. It was a great chance to have meaningful discussions with business people instead of just in a loud cafe or bar. Also at the larger conferences, it is hard to get private time or space with those you want to focus on building a relationship with.
Quick Copenhagen Business Trip
Wrapped up the speech and networking at HCPP in Prague, and back on the move. A couple days to squeeze in a quick trip to Copenhagen, Denmark. Why? For our new loadpipe ecommerce protocol, want to get some face time with a few of the people in the growing team. Rented a space at Rebel Coworking Space and dove deep …
Traveling to Prague, in the Midst of a Transition
On the road again. My late Uncle Bill always felt that when he read my blog and my travels, rest in peace Uncle Bill. Leaving the wife and kids (again) as the theme of “getting back on the road and business development” trend I set a couple months ago continues. This time it is Chiang Mai to Bangkok to Vienna, …
Transition Time: Temple Time
Temple, series 2. The last time was in November 2021 when the markets were so hyped up. This time the world is in a different position totally – and we are all evolving and changing. My supportive wife encouraged me to check in to the temple – this time in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to undergo some mindfulness and peace. Friday, …
Nomad Capitalist Live in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Again, more networking going. Andrew Henderson started up Nomad Capitalist blog the same year as Global From Asia – 2013! Ten years later and he has really carved out an amazing community and content asset. Felt it was a good chance to meet all these “nomad capitalists” and join my first trip to a Nomad Capitalist Live event – here …
Phuket Mastermind (On the fly) to Start Networking Again
Just go with the flow sometimes. After a lot of networking in e-commerce in Thailand, got connected with Kyle an Amazon seller based in Bangkok. Connected while he was visiting Chiang Mai and mentioned how he’d just love to get a few of us together for a few days to share ideas and get to know each other. He’s careful …
Slowly Getting Back Into The Flow: Cross Border Summit Preparations
As I begin to type this out, I hesitate to use the word covid anymore, but just have to. It seriously damaged our cross-border e-commerce community and still putting the pieces back together. A huge milestone of the rebuilding of the community is the Cross Border Summit. We haven’t had one since October 2019 in Guangzhou, China – meaning it …
Back to School For The Kids, Happier than Ever

Review: Ultimate Reishi Mushroom Formula
Today I want to share with you something I’ve been using to help with relaxing and better sleep – Mehdi Reishi, an organic mushroom extract. There are 3 different styles, but the one I am using in the video is the green box, which is the “ultimate” and a blend. I mix it with water, but you can mix it …

Rollercoasters! Family Trip to Universal Studios Singapore
YOLO – had to take the kids to finally go on a ROLLER COASTER. Can you believe – no roller coasters in Thailand? So we are here in Singapore and just had to bite the bullet and do it. Kids are at a great age to go at 7 and 9 years old and will be a lifelong memory. Tip …
