Jeg var ikke rigtig klog da jeg gik ind i den avis – men holly christ jeg har laert meget ! Og NU er jeg lidt SUR.

SAA STOPPER FESTEN

Nu har min tidligere bestyrelsesformand for avisens driftselskaber igen placeret en historie som er 100% opspind i medierne. Jeg skulle uhh ha – have lavet dokumentfalsk.

Men som de sagde i BAGMANDSPOLITIET da han sidst viste sin 100% mangel paa forretningsindsigt (ved at tro at Meecom skulle have vearet istand til at give mig penge under bordet fra deres tomme kasse) og lokkede en taburet polititkere fra enhedslisten til at politi andmelde mig:

“Vi ka tydeligt se at dette er ren chikane (hvem tager dog et papir som dette ud af en samenhaeng) – men dette ser vi ofte. Der er ingen sag – men nogle vil have dig igennem presse møllen.”

Ganske rigtigt er der ALDRIG BLEVET ET SAGSNUMMER UD AF DET – og Svenn og politikeren burde have regningen (og noget medicin) for deres konspirationsteoretiske anmeldelse. Spild at skattekroner – Spild af tid – men sikkert godt for Svenn Aaage’s image…?

Nye anklager

Der kan ikke sættes en finger på noget af det der er foregået i avisen!!!

INTET!

Jeg har selv pådraget mig den ultimative gabestoksstraf – og kan ikke starte virksomheder i en rum tid – jeg er i karantæne. Jeg er nu konsulent med sukkersød stemme, slesk tale og slibrige roser til alle der vælger at hyre mig. MEN JEG TUDER IKKE – DET ER SIKKERT SUNDT.

Jeg er 100% uforstående overfor de anklager som mine ellers dygtige ansatte Svenn og Morten fremkommer med i den nye, og i øvrigt ellers skidegode, bog. (En historie som Berlingske idag vaelger at spinne).

De pisse dygtige bestyrelsesmedlemmer Jimmy Maymann og Herman Haraldson skrev jo ikke under på regnskaberne og tog pa ferie med slukket mobiltelefon uden at se dokumentationen for finansieringen bag regnskabet.

Svenn Dam, som heller ikke var der da lokummet brændte, forsvandt i over en uge. Imens tvang jeg nærmest nogle mine Amerikanske investorer til at købe mit arvesølv – BullGuard – til spotpris. For at faa til loenninger.

Svenn stod i håndvaskens nu glasklare skær og skulle på ferie (ja midt i overlevelseskampen – vær ikke forundret keare laeser). Han skrev, i sin iver for at komme hurtigt afsted, under uden at se dokumentationen for den tilførte kapital!!!! Det må da være en burde vaere en bestyrelsesansvarssag i sig selv vill nogen sige – men ikke mig. Han fik en del opkald fra min CFO – og var hele tiden i kontakt med CFO’en – INTET er nyt for Svenn og det jeg svarede på i artiklen var blot at jeg ikke kunne få fat på ham – resten er fejlciteret. Men han proever at faa svinet mig til – og har vel egentlig succes. For der går vel ikke røg…

At jeg så tryller pengene frem – som der ikke kan sættes en finger på – er jo kun hans held. Rent faktisk blev han på sit feriested telefonisk informeret at vi af rent konkurrencemæssige årsager ikke behøver oplyse beløbet (en god ide fostret af Morten Nissen Nielsen). Dette har han  tilsyneladende glemt i sin iver for at forfølge konspirationsteorier – men det er faktisk en uvæsentlig detalje, sammenlignet med at vi ikke havde den endelige finansieringsdokumentation på plads endnu, da han satte sin underskrift. (Ikke et ord om bestyrelses ansvar, professionalisme eller dybde i sit DKK 1,7 mio om aaret deltidsjob).

Det undrer mig derfor meget at denne mand kan have bestyrelsesposter i nye milliardsatsninger – med endog meget sorte udsigter. I Dansk Bredbaand har man snart brændt en milliard af (hov det ligner en stime for Hr. Dam). Hvis man ringer til AGF (sjovt link) eller til Lars Kolind – som nu også er i retssag med Svenn – bliver min forundring yderligere underbygget. Og sidst han blev fyret fra en avis var det ogsaa de andres skyld – ikke noget med at tage ansvaret for et skole engelsk der fik Montgommery til at grine og Pelle (Metro chefen) kun har hånlig latter tilovers for. Derudover har jeg har haft en samtale med Danmark største avismand som, i den rareste tone kunne berette at manden aldrig havde nået et budget.

For nu at tage den hele vejen rundt – sa er det jo også et sindsygt bevis på manglende forretningstæft at han har erklaeret mig konkurs. Viljen til at destruere opvejer 100% logikken –
1) han kunne sku da regne ud at han ikke ville faa en krone – mine selskaber er intet vaerd i konkurs. 99% af alle mine investeringer har (til min egen overaskelse) en “Change of ownership/bankrupsy clausul” således at de ikke kan sælges til tilfældige hvis jeg er konkurs. Det er 100% standard – saa de  smaa fantastiske startups ikke ender med hostile investorer. Men de betyder at det hele er NUL VÆRD – og i denne krise er det SLET IKKE NOGET VÆRD.
2) Jeg har måtte sige nej til de vildeste nye projekter som allerede ku have tjent 4-5 mio EUR fordi jeg ikke maa eje noget. Det er sku da ærgeligt – men mest for Svenn – jeg har sku godt af at være på pinebænken og komme i god fysisk form – lege med ungerne – og finde den næste version af mig.

Det meget underlige er at jeg faktisk syntes Svenn var god i mange sammenhænge (og for det meste arbejdede om en hest) – men det er ligesom når man starter sin første virksomhed (dette var min første store virksomhed) – så tror man sku på hvad de såkaldt erfarne siger. Man glemmer at de heller ikke ved noget – og man kan ikke se om de er gode mennesker foer til lokummet brænder.

Nu ku vi så begynde at politianmelde hinanden (sæbeoperaen ruller jo allerede) – jeg kunne jo teoretisk set anmelde for:

a) Tyveri og læk af fortrolige dokumenter (men fuck det)
b) Manglende bestyrelses etik (man går da ikke bag om ryggen pa hinanden)
c) Afpresning (Thordis gider heller ikke – men hun har jo oplevet afpresning)
d) Mon ikke jeg kunne få en eller anden til at anmelde for kickback – hvis man ser paa hvor sindsyg vores trykkontrakter så ud udefra? Mon somerhuset i Italien er bygget for helt beskattede midler? Nabo’er der stikker hinanden og børns forældre der sagsøger hinanden – det er sikker fremtiden. Men ikke med mig som medspiller.

Det rager mig langsomt – det hele handler vel om at man kan se sig selv i øjnene. Og jeg forstår på skolekammeraterne at Svenn har haft det meget svært – og jeg ville intet få ud af det.

Jeg var ikke rigtig klog at gå ind i den avis – men slet ikke rigtig klog da jeg ikke fulgte mine instinkter (og min mentors råd), eller lave due dilligence og smide Svenn ud første gang jeg havde følelsen. Dumt. MIN FEJL og kun min. Og Hr. Nissen er en pisse talentfuldt stjerne – der bliver sat i skyggen af sin mentor. Bittert.

PS. Og nej hr Berlingske journalist – du har ikke faaet modstridende forklaringer fra CFO og Jeg – du har ikke hoert efter og vaeret helt fyr og flamme for at lave denne historie. Og professorer der bliver lavet spin paa – spinner på dette som var det dit eget væveri – jeg har ikke været tæt på regnskabdelen – men min CFO havde fuldt styr på det. Og vi lavede ikke fejl – da vi vidste at alle øjne var på os.

PPS. Jeg har massere af tid nu – massere af penge det har vi haft – værdighed ligesaa – og jeg gider ikke mere pis fra sådan en lusker. Brænde andre folks penge af skånselsløst – kun med egen personlig vinding for øje – det er hvad han gør. Rend mig – jeg vil lave mine ting – og jeg er SULTEN TIL DEN DAG DE SLUKKER PULTEN (Jokeren).

FUCK THE CRISIS!!

I have been going trough hell since my fucked up newspaper project tanked – and I only blame myself. BUT at the same time Ive gotten so much love (my column about the happiness release in Focus.de will be released soon)- there are two guys in this world who have done really REALLY stupid things – but they are forgiven many times. (that’s my most read story ever as a blogger). After that post I have been called from every part of the world to consult (and speak) for people who have been in my shoes or are one shoe away… But I need to mention a couple of exspiriences i have had – like Frederik (the absolute fucked up Icelandic guy) who owns www.thelaundromatcafe.com

– this crazy amasing lovely mann called me instantly and told me that I could always drop by with the kids for a dinner privately or at the cafe. And I have to say that the Cafe (two locations) is one of the best in the city. Plain straight and GOOD CROWD + fair price. Off course wifi is free.

THE WORLD IS GOOD

I have also been contacted by many many nice people who have offered me help in any way shape or form and I simply cant believe it. THE WORLD IS GOOD – REALLY GOOD. And when everything is upside down – this t-shirt says everyting:

buy it here

MYGDAL FOR PRESIDENT

And then on a last note – I have to say (again) that Mygdal and the BIG THINKERS – with entrapnurial stamina like Hugh Hefner makes me so happy. This message says everything about how vibrant STILL online is:

CONSULTING & SPEAKING

This week I will speak at www.unternehmertag2009.com it’s a very cool event by the guys from Mountain Partners – at first they are as stiff at a british upperclass upperlip and a teenage dick after a wet dream – but when you get under their skin – they are pretty cool and agressive like no one else…

I miss my creative side – this old Toyota ad reminds me of the advertising days.

(I’m a late adopter!!)

When I arived here ot Japan – they where VERY kind to lend me an iPhone. AND WHOLLY COW – im 100% blown away.

It’s the best thing after kids, food and sex.

With Gmail – i was 100% synced up in 45sec – contacts, calender and mail – and facebook and twitter (twitteriffic blows my mind)- BANG BANG BANG. I would never have imagined that technology and hardware could melt together in one hazzlefree unit. WOW. WOW. Im so sad to let my blackberry know that it’s dead – going of the coorperate fields where it belongs.

NOTE: Only iPhone SUPER WEAKNESS is no copy paste – but that suposed to come.

My kids keep calling me evil :) – whenever I don’t act like they want me to, and buy them whatever crap they want. And I’m tough on the NOT BUYING SHIT. They will get all the love I have!! and all my non-working time – but spoiling them with more and More and MORE silly toys is not an option.

So I hereby kick off the 24h World Championship for Evil Parents

Rules:

A) You must be a parent to minimum one kid that has a language.

B) Tell in 140 carrecters to tell what evil you will do to your kids, to become the worlds most Evil Parent.
Ex. I will wear my kids hats – with my big head – so that it falls down into their eyes next they wear it. #WCEP

C) You have to have a brain and full of love for children. (for American user and stiff idiots I have to state this is a Joke)

POST HERE AS COMMENT or Twitter #WCEP

The Winner will be announced when I land in Japan tomorrow at some time.
The price – a pirated copy of Free Willy Editors Edition

THIS VIDEO CLIP: I clicking on a twit from Jason Shellen to go and watch Evan Williams on Charlie Rose Show – and then I was so lucky that the show kicked of with Mr. John Hennessy (head of Stanford University) – and this guy is just something beyond reality – when you start thinking about his impact – Science, Bizz (he is on the board of Google, Standford’s Funds are some of the largest in the world), Politically (education is in my very low educated opinion the most important thing for both social welfare and business and globalization). Wow – and this guys just purely GET IT 360 DEGREES. Lucky America to have such people – picking up 760mioUSD in endowments on a bad year :)… Side note: If we had that kind of institution just one place in Europe we would be very very well of – only FC Barcelone is about there (JOKE!).

THIS VIDEO CLIP: The Twitter interview is not very good – Ev is fumbling in his explanation and Rose is too eager to say how fund he is of the idea. And I can – as Twitter number to in Denmark only beaten by a priest with soft rock as underlaying musik on his website – really not understand how twitter can change so much for me – but it does. I can just log on anywhere – after meetings or sleeping and be 100% updated in no time. And the GMAIL import of friends (I did yesterday) really added 200% ore quality – now I follow all the people i KNOW (who are twitting).

Links from a very informative surfing hour:

Then I watched this piece on US printing money in the wild – and must say its strange – and scarry.

And I considered this conference – after reading Gigaom on innovation – even though Im not really hungry for more conferences and mostly look forward to Mygdals Reboot the 25/26th of June – I really hope that Mr. Ev and http://rushkoff.com will drop by. On Mygdal – its interesting to see that the guy is on top of the world with 23hq.com now integrating with Facebook (with new filtering) and really challenging Twitpic (a service i never got to work). AND AND 23 is launching amasing HD Video services – build you own TVchannel for less then 1000USD pr month – niiifty test here. I will just be smooth to watch all this on the brand new iMac – Charlie Rose should by a lisence… Or my friends who are mad heliskiers should buy a lisence.

LASTEST NEWS vie (not suprisingly twitter 28min ago):

I think Ev is fantastic!

It’s has taken me 7 days to absorb the incredible experiences from last week of being with Sir Richard Branson and his crew for 4 nights. (The Crew and surroundings is an important part)

The first thing I ever said to Richard when I first met him (last year) was: “You are one of my few hero’es and please dont fuck up – most other of my hero’es whom I met in person have fucked up.” But let me just confess instantly – He did not disapoint for a second. Not even a small nano second.

You can buy all the book in the world and read all the thesis in the world about building a spirit in a company – but 4 days with Richard (and crew) will give you the easy answer:

It’s about being real – nice – honest – empathic and really mean it. The guy’s started in Rock and Roll – and know anyone you want to know on the planet – he has all the money you (and your full family three) can spend and he has a sense of humor that can beat any average pro comedian and he has changed the world and he has respect in nearly all layers of socierty. But when you are next to him – the only problem is YOU – handling to be hanging out with your hero. Richard is NOT DOWN TO EARTH underplaying it – no no – but he is (unlike many superstars and superrich) listening and calm (without being ingnoring the souroundings) – and he is lively in all sences – but also very deeply interested in nearly every topic you can bring up. Off course – he also has to cut off a lot of people who just wants to talk to him and have the photo- to show their friends – but that as well is done in a gentle and human nice way.

I could go on for hours – in pure celebration – but I my conclusion is simple. Now I really understand why the TVprogram Xfactor is one of the most successful TVformats in the world – because when some has it – YOU KNOW and THE PERSON CAN BUILD/CREATE/DO everything he/she wants. Mostly because he/she has good karma and raw talent and can motivate others and let them be co-superstars as well. And that’s the big secret: Richard has a crew – wife, executives, staff and followers who are super super smart – and dares to really make a difference (and make failures). And they are all inspired by the leader of the Tribe – who is naturally interested in you and picks up a drink for you – and gives you that extra little feel good feeling… Naturally injects those Virgin values throughout the whole organization – so that everyone around simply has a GOOD TIME and WANTS more.

Its Simple!
Not Easy.

This is just a perfect way to understand a bit of why the world in fucked

Google has launched FlueTrends is so amasing – Google’s real power coming to show. They track how people search for flue’s and related terms – and since its live – they are in average 10-14 days ahead of predicting a flue comming your way (only americans for now). THATs the kind of stuff I LOVE – simply conecting the dots…!!!!!!!!

Forget about the Matrix – this is endles fun if you have worked with tech ever…

Dear Valued Read

Let say I told a story about me being on a small Island owned by an exccentric guy who also have started space turism.

Lets say the island had infinite sun, the most amasing villaes, unbelieable staff, food from heaven, sunscreen all over, any kind of sport you want to try – tennis, basketball…watersports…

Lets pretend I was there on a mission to actually do some for real about climate change.

Lets say I was invited together with world class speakers… And lets pretend that the discussion was so untangible due to the difference between people who understand politics – other people who really get business and scientists who are rteally world class – simply all leaders in their different fields…

Let say that it was extremely hard for me to understand what the McKinsey guys actually ment when they presented their roadmap for carbon…

Let say that the leader of Scripps (Tony, scientist and now a friend) gave a presentation that scared me – and only as a bisentece said that salmon somehow had disapeared from California this year…

Let say I told you that we had the meetings outside in a balinese temple – lets say we had world class food, and bonfires at nights – lots of drinks and acted foolish – had lots of fun and at the same time i really started to get a little zimmering feeling in my stomach when I started to understand who difficult this climate situation actually is…

Lets say that after the 3 days of meeting, I was invited to go with a new friend* in his Jet to Miami (despite what Jets contributes to Carbon) – and lets say Im taking of in 1h.

Would you believe it? (I would not).

*who – along with his family, live in villages and cities around the Third World using hands-on perspective and eyeball to eyeball connection to conceive, develop and operate economic opportunity, training and leadership programs in countries including Rwanda, Afghanistan, Nepal, India, Pakistan, and Palestine. Programs include Teacher Training, Leadership Training, Micro Enterprise, and Peace and Reconciliation Efforts

I think this is interesting

Just found this after a great night of being sleepless in Puerto Rico – try it and beat me /its DIFFICULT

This is vrey very interesting for all of u who wants to underdtand what I do – and how my hero (and nearly friend who have invited my into a couple of deals) Ron Conway thinks… And also Mike Maples (SMART!!) gives a very very good insight to the really early stage investing.  LISTEN. And please listen to this before you contact me.

Mike: A lot of people want to just have launch and talk about ideas…

How many people dare to talk about whats really on our mind – SEX – and THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS >>> I have spend quite some time with Cindy over the last year – and have been thinking a lot about her amassing – ULTRA CONTROVERSIAL ideas. But Cindy simply HAS IT!!! Read her email (Dear Cindy I know you are OK with me publishing it).
Seems like there is no video on TED yet.

FROM Cindy Gallop (START)

I launched my small personal side venture from the TED stage on the opening day Wednesday Feb 4, straight after Tim Berners-Lee (the inventor of the World Wide Web).

Immediately following my talk it was BoingBoing-ed and garnered more comments than any other TED talk blogged on BoingBoing that day:

It was also Twittered extensively:

Huge amounts of people came up to me to say how much they loved it and how it is a serious issue that needs addressing.  Robin Williams came up to me in the coffee break afterwards, told me he loved it and went into a completely impromptu, improvised 10-minute standup comedy routine around the subject which was utterly, hysterically funny.   I wished I had a tape recorder – luckily one guy nearby caught some of it on his camera, and has now posted it on YouTube:

Liz Tuccillo, who used to write for Sex and the City (and is one half of the ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ author duo), came up to tell me she loved it and said that if the series had still been running they would have built an episode around it.

It made the BBC:

And a couple of others:

Ethan Z

Brainpicking

Jezebel covered it
Plus Fleshbot has done a screen by screen analysis:
Fortunately I’ve been able to channel all this notoriety into some useful connections and conversations at TED for IfWeRanTheWorld, so all goes well on that front..

Do hope you’re doing well –

All the best, Cindy
