What's next?

It feels so awesome to look back at success. It makes me so excited to one day look back and say "I made it". That may seem weird, but my drive has always been uncertainty, the fact that I thought when I turned 25 (which is an age that is super close) I would be in a completely different life. I have made so many decisions that were not "according to the plan" with full determination and faith in whatever is to come.

Do I wish I knew EXACTLY what I am going towards? yes. Do I care that I do not know? no. The truth is everyone gets to their place in their own way... Some take a longer route, some a seemingly shorter, but no one takes the same exact road. One of my favorite scenes in the Wonder Woman movie is right after the astonishing trenches fight scene were WonderWoman wins the town back. She looks at Charlie (a sniper soldier) and finds out he wanted to be a singer, and then looks at Sameer and he tells her the truth: everyone is fighting their own battles. To some it may be about money and being able to achieve economic stability or prosperity, to some psychological or spiritual in trying to achieve happiness. Some people are so poor... all they have is money.

I never thought music would lead me to helping youth with cancer, I never thought traveling would lead me to know what I wanted to study in university, or that having a danish family would introduce me to Apple and my love for the company would make me want to write out a blog and record a weekly podcast. Ask me if I know why... Because it is my passion, ask me if I know where this will take me next... I do not know. But man am I excited to see where this takes me next, my passions continue and I have general ideas of where I wish them to take me: running to international marathons, apple to a successful blog and podcast, movies and music to become a more inspired and unstoppable passionate human being that thrives towards the next goal. 

Some days I am bummed, I am depressed or tired or it is difficult to wake up to go train, or to read up on homework, or sit down and get work done. And honestly, we all do; but that is why you go to sleep and wake up on a new day, to flip your mood and keep on being human by getting up as many times as you want to prove you are serious of your goal.

The movie What Dreams May Come is one of my favorite ever for when I have been happy or sad. It is great for any opportunity of wanting to smile in a confused manner. Highly recommended, have a great weekend.

Let the tech year unfold...

The new Apple event was announced a couple of days back. And my last tech-episode on the podcast got me thinking about this year and the current "trends" in tech. I believe that Apple has one of the biggest challenges you could ever hear in front of them: adapt to survive WHILE BEING ON TOP. Steve Jobs was an amazing underdog, a creative mastermind that rose to the top of the tech community at his time and shot Apple like a rocket to the summit of the world as one of the most influential and prosperous companies ever... However, that IS NOT the company that Tim Cook has had to deal with. Apple is now working in saturated laptop and smartphone markets and is trying to maintain its innovation and creativity. People think it is easy to stay on top... Amazon has had to get all kinds of creative by entering product line, new services offers and buying pieces of the market they compete in as they did with Whole Foods. Facebook is saved by the quality of companies like In

What does Captain Marvel MEAN to the MCU?

So, here's the deal. I did a podcast entry about captain marvel and my thoughts on the movie and how unimpressed I was about some things and how glad and proud other parts of the movie made me. And that’s when it came to me: the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Captain Marvel was not the best movie, it was a necessary one. Clearly, the end of an era approaches quickly as April is almost here with Endgame. Do you think for a minute that Kevin Feige is done with his plan for the MCU? Do you think that they introduced the world to such great successful Black Panther, Spiderman, Captain Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy AND Dr. Strange just because? Well if you do, you have something else coming your way… And that is the only thing I fear in the MCU. You see, the success story of Marvel has been with a great formula and an expansive universe that has great comedy, range and plot; that same amazing formula has been leading up this very important and climatic movie call

Apple's Endgame

So, here we are. Apple announced hardware via internet and called everyone in for services… Was the latter part of the presentation awkward? Yes. Could it have been planned in a more effective way? Probably. However, we got what we got and we must understand that Apple does not act without a plan. Here is my analysis of the true importance behind the event this past Monday: The Mac, the iPod, the MacBook Air, the iPhone, the iPad, the Apple Watch these are all attempts at products to drive the business. Some way more successful than others, they all have made what Apple is and will continue to be today. You see, there is a commonality amongst those products… They are not services. And THAT is exactly what Apple told the world on Monday: services are the future. Does this mean that it is THE END for iPhone, Apple Watch, etc. etc.? HELL NO! It means that the market is the market! And the iPhone is stagnating and decreasing in sales, the Mac, iPad and even Apple Watch cannot sus
