I'm a 35 year old lifehacker, connector and resourcerer.

I'm interested in setting things in motion, to develop myself and others.

Most of my time I spend learning and thinking.

The rest of the time I engage with people and connect people.

After reading The Tipping Point, the book of Malcolm Gladwell on social epidemics, I figured out that I am a maven, a connector as well as a salesman. If you want to spread ideas an knowledge like I do, you need people with these roles.

I live from donations since 6 years now, after I figured out, that it could be a path that would be much richer dan the path of being a consultant that can be hired.
Richer in the sense of value to me and others, value in a much broader meaning than just money. We live in the age of acces now, and access will be more important than possesion in the next decades, I think.

I love to give lectures and do that over 80 times a year, speaking about the new economy, valuecreation, marketing 2.0, complementairy economics, networking, lifehacking, and about my ideas to make te world a better place, with my insights in social and information capital.
