We are almost 1 week into the Cross Border Summit lineup of events and happenings, and today we have a video blog showing you a fun tour we took at the Saturday night Market. Those still in town joined us for a fun and engaging time of street food, gifts, and a tour of the silver temple.
CBS2023, Cross Border Summit, As It Is Happening
Feels great typing this up because IT IS OVER! Ha, such a stressful and high-anxiety thing to do – put together a conference. The build-up to the event almost cracked me this time more than any other conference we have done and it made me doubt and question everything. But you know what – we made it, and in my …
EO Bangkok Breakfast – Meeting Entrepreneurs Organization at Museum Siam
Sometimes you need to seize the opportunity and I feel it was done this time – Raj who organizes EO in Bangkok – and someone I have worked with during the COVID lockdowns remotely – invited me down to Bangkok for an entrepreneur breakfast. Even with the Cross Border Summit next week (cannot believe it so quick), I felt I …
Pressure and Anxiety: 1 week Til Cross Border Summit 2023
The last few months have been learning a lot about myself – from the list of conferences I’ve attended and spoken at, to the build-up for the “open border, new beginnings” Cross Border Summit organizing – even at 42 years old I am learning about myself. In today’s vlog, I bring you with me to our “at least monthly” e-commerce …
DCBKK 2023 Bangkok, Lifestyle Business Owner Conference
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 …
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, …
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 …

As I re-brand and continue to expand into web3 with ecommerce (bringing these 2 amazing skills together), I have the pleasure to speak at the next Hackers Congress Paralelní Polis conference happening Sept 29 to Oct 1, 2023, in Prague. I’ll be sharing about the Freedom and Individual Power Handshake Domains Give The People. And why the current domain system …
Bangkok Factory Trade Show (Is It Like Canton Fair?)
On the road AGAIN – and as always – here’s a vlog of the Mega show BKK deep in the summer of 2023. Last minute trip, in our Chiang Mai Ecommerce Whatsapp group (join at https://events.globalfromasia.com/chiangmai ) Jason Green mentioned about a factory trade show he saw in Bangkok happening – and I figured this is a great chance to …
