I know its such a kliche (like everything else in my life) – but im really addicted to running.

I feel GOOD
I controle my weight
I get high – and keep my short term memory ;)
I really feel that my body works better – and recovers better
Im less agressive … :-/

Im soo impressed with Nike and the way they have cornered all this – ANYTHING ACCESSORIES.

Being a “5min attentionspan guy” – Im just very afraid of loosing this new hobby….

its amassing to see how the Kids get instantly more creative with a Mac… weird!!!

Denmark is really strange in the good way. We have a world leading economy and we pay 65% tax and security is HIGH and people are very happy (despite a ugly dark winther). Its a big problem that 50% of the workforce in on some kind of welfare –  but is also fantastic to see how welfare (taking care of everyone – instead of only focusing of the loaded ones) has taken Denmark to an amassing position. Im pretty sure it would not work in a giant country (USA, Indonesia…) but Im proud here – and will probably give my vote to Willy (foto) or Helle. (Bu would even be more happy if they would also have a look at the TAX System (and lowered it).

The last days I have been playing with webapps – and I’m very impressed. So many cool and even though “babystage” prototypes – can stop thinking about launching some…

I feel like Judas – but I had to move to a Mac and try it out – and I must say that I like it – REALY LIKE IT. Wow. MacBook Pro 15″ – Im very impressed – but its too big.

Things are not super at our home these days – but the kids get a lot of attention and I really hope they will not suffer from their parents trouble.

I love teenagers Lisa: “Those bitches are so fucked up and dont know how to do anything…” :)

To open a business i easy

To keep it open is really difficult

HelloGroup is going really super well – and I cant help it – I just love that kind of optimism when you see people suceed – that smiles get wider and the selfconfidence just boots the people – ad off course you can see that FOCUS and the winner instanct. I LOVE IT.

Seems like the clients do as well:

You’d be crazy to choose anyone else. These guys are a delight to work with. Very efficient. Always on time and budget. Very smart. Focused on demand generation.”
Jeroen Veth, CEO Zecco Trading – www.zecco.com

“Hello Group worked closely with Zyb on developing our site and product offering. The team is talented, skilled, flexible and delivers on budget. Highly recommended.”
Tommy Ahlers, CEO ZYB – www.zyb.com

Here should have been one more endorsement but the client has to improve it

I have had MANY people around me – considering that I think of my operation more or less as a one-man-army with lots of allied in my 85+ companies, project and “clubs”… But I must say that of all people Rasmus is impressing me to the max. I have also become more selfconfident on what I expect from “people working for me” – but Rasmus is just KILLER/STELLAR/AMAZING. Maybe I like him so much because he is like me – a simple genuine salesmann ;) – but I hope he can turn some big deals around and get better at numbers then I will ever be.

And ys – I FEEL DARN LUCKY.

Sneak Intro Conferences

Sit next to toilet – then you meet everyone at least once..

I just remembered that I used to go conferences as a journalist… :)

HelloGroup

Our agenzy HelloGroup (well it mostly Jacob Langemark, Kenner and THE KILLER AMAZING STAFF) is exploding in size AND QUALITY. I’m so fucki.. proud to be part of it and have it as a company who can service my investments.

Mikkel Demib

– dropped by – and we instantly chose to put 1,5mioDKR on red ;) – I like Mikkel so much – he is REAL – HONEST and NO BULLSHIT . Also oftenly impossible to work with – but its getting BETTER BETTER – and he is becomming a PLAYMAKER in the Venture world – so cool to see him using other peoples talent and just kicking him self in on 10% – instaed of his normal 130% Mikkel – which is GOOD – but pretty hard for him to maintain 130% involvement level ;)

NyhedsAvisen

– one of my most mind-blowing project and in a sector where I’m blank. I must say that my breakfast meetings with Gunner Smari (CEO) are second to none – the guy teach me so much and is so wise and dares to talk without being bullshit… Doing a real FULLBLOW TAKE on the establish Newspapers in Demark is so ENDLESSLY DIFFICULT and CHALLENGING. First of all the 250years old established papers are like parent – so one feel a bit guilty to challenge and probably kill one or two of them – but thats life (with out cigarettes and alcohol the last 3 months) and nerves seems to respond with sending 10-20% signal to my brain – normal level is 1-2%. When Politikken/JP is now obviously running dry on cash in 2years (if they don’t change strategy) and SøndagsAvisen lost 33% of its market-cap Friday by adjusting profit down AGAIN – now from 110mio to 20mioDKR…

Denmark

I feel a whole new kind of optimism in Denmark – and was very happy to see a couple of stories in the press stating the “Janteloven” (an Idea Danes have about “you are not allowed to think you are something special”) is dead… Well I never met Janteloven – only when Ive been too cocky or showing of – and my mum, Mik, Hlin, Lasse or real friends have told me to adjust my imprialistisk small dick attitude…

Andrej, Slovenia + Ester Dyson

We (I always say We about my business – nd now WE = Rasmus and I) went to Ljubljana Tusday for an amazing mini Seminar – around something I believe can be the biggest media and content network in Eastern Europe. Andrej and Team had book a stellaer place (very OLD SCHOOL CIMMUNISTIC – but updated to new) and we talked for 20hours straight – only interupted by Absint and Ester Dysons MANY INTERESTING STORIES ABOUT HEAR WACKED INVESTMENTS IN SPACE STUFF. Before spending a day with Ester I was no fan (actually oppersite) – but I really REALLY enjoyd a lot and learned from her. Wise LADY – and again HONEST and NO BS – straight to the bone

India + Lund XY (new collection)

We are talking to a very VERY cool company in India who have amazing numbers and A CEO AS COOL AS Clooney mixed with Clinton (does not have the all the looks but he is GOOD). We will go in and do something like an Investment Bank deal – and help IPOing. I feel a bit new to this – but know we can do it.

Etre 07 Budapest

I love tha conference – its amassing to be around likeminded people – and see so many startups and so much capital fly around. WOW is all I can say. Most spectacular is that every year i meet 3-4 new venture funds with 1 to 2bio$ its fun. This year Zyb and Orolix – where very cool – and I was VERY PROUD to have a Super private dinner – with Tim Draper and Wife Melissa, Lukasz Wejchert (Onet), J Meyer, Nagib, Tommy, Martijn….

Zecco.com one year

The killer team around Zecco and the amazing invetrors (All Dutch) – have done something I could not even have imagined… And now it 1y – BIT CONGRATS

New business card

As always trying to be mysef (and shamelessly attention-grabbing) we had new business-cards made for Etre – and it goes without saying that I made a 100% embarrassing spelling mistake

A Record Label for Board Members or Maybe lets call it and Activist Commitment Agency:

Making a 360 board activist

concept for companies with

8-20 world class international

board members in a record label

like setup.

Full serviced and managed.

During my busniess life – i have never been in a board or close to a board that really worked and moved the business and supported the business to really win/perform/change… Off course its mainly because Im personally so unfocused and low on attention span and bad at details – but I really feel a need for at new way of doing this. And I have decided to LAUNCH a BoardLabel or BoardAgenzy for my own companies/investments (maybe open to others)- so that they will get THE BEST BOARDMEMBERS  and BE AS FIT AS POSSIBLE. I think its about being Activist and Acting instead of talking – so I really hope this will fly. I just hired the most powerfull person to run it – and cant wait to tell you more. Only note is – that I really think the Danish Discussion about Cooperate Governance is SICK AND DESTRUCTIVE – specially for smaller companies – so maybe it will be REBEL BOARD LABEL or EXCLUSIVE?

PS. THIS IS NOT EXECUTIVE SEARCH – I JUST HATE THAT WORD MORE THEN BAD BREATH.

*I stole the term “RecorbLarbel for” from N. Reffstrup (the artist formerly known as Navne).

 Im was so happy to see that my friend and business partner at Maxthon is now going the the hottest online property on the this planet.

“I am very excited to announce that I have joined Facebook as Director of International Business Development! I truly believe that Facebook is creating a paradigm shift in social communication and beyond, and I am really psyched to be part of this fantastic team and opportunity. “

I have only 3 words to say about the Clinton Global Initiative (video):

I loved It 

Its very hard to understand charity when you are from a country like Denmark – where charity is build into the tax you pay. I never talked about charity at the dinner table in Denmark – we always talk about the welfare system (the full package thing). But this CGI has been an amazing way to learn about all this – and to learn about the PRIVATE SECTOR CAN REALLY DO BIG STUFF. The examples of the numbers from the conference speak for themselves – here is a few:

8.5 million out-of-school children will be enabled to enroll in school for the first time.

50 million people will have access to treatment of neglected tropical diseases.

170,031,331 acres of forest will be protected or restored.

11.2 million people will be empowered with increased access to sustainable incomes

But I must say that Im neither rich enough or smart enough by now to do really big things. Im really afraid of doing like quite a few i met at the conference – buy the wrong equipement for the new hobby ;) …

Its been a while – (or say 18months) – to get a website up – but finally. I love these guys – and if it wasnt because of my insane ambitions – I would be sitting with them doing design (well if they would let me).  See http://www.hellobrand.com/
