One simple advice for a happier life 😎


Support your partner.

My wife has had to reinvent herself many times during her 23+ year photography career.

She was already working at a high level in London when we moved to Estonia.

She started building momentum in Estonia when we moved to New York City.

She reached a strong position in New York just as we returned to Estonia to raise our kids.

After our first child, she began building momentum in Europe again — until COVID disrupted everything and forced her to rebuild from scratch online.

And just as the momentum returned, artificial intelligence changed the entire game.

Today, it simply feels good to watch how she doesn’t give up.
How she adapts, tries again, and keeps moving forward.

This has taught me more about entrepreneurship than any book ever could
and has strengthened our relationship more than I ever expected.

If I have one piece of advice, it’s this:
support the people around you who are chasing their dreams.

Self-service automation for sports, marinas, vehicles, rental, service companies | Autlio.com – bookings, access, digital contracts & payments in one autonomous platform | 1xExit | Ex-Veriff 🦄 |

One small change can completely transform how a service feels. 🚗

I’ve lost count of how many times car servicing has meant:
- arriving during working hours,
- waiting in line,
- or rearranging my entire day just to hand over keys.

And if something happens late in the evening or early morning?
You wait.

That’s why I genuinely like what Carzone Autokeskus has now done.

They’ve made car service actually available 24/7 by implementing Autlio’s smart key locker.

Now a car can be:
- dropped off early in the morning before work
- picked up late in the evening
- or even handed over at 2 a.m. when something unexpected happens

No queues.
No rushing before closing time.
No “we’re already closed” conversations.

Even payments can be handled as part of the same flow — without standing at a counter or syncing schedules.

What I find especially interesting is what happens behind the scenes.

⚙️ For the service team:
- technicians start the day knowing exactly which cars have arrived
- all relevant info is already logged
- payments are completed or correctly recorded
- fewer interruptions, smoother workflow

It works whether the visit is pre-booked, spontaneous, or even arranged via roadside assistance.

To me, this is a great example of how automation isn’t about removing people —
it’s about removing friction.

👉 Carzone made a conscious decision to give customers more flexibility, time, and peace of mind.

Which service would you choose?
One limited by opening hours —
or one that fits your life, not the other way around?

A great start to the day 💪🏃‍♂️

Morning workout completed — our first morning run together with my son.

I bet many of you know the feeling: getting out of bed early for your kids isn’t 
always easy.

Every beginning can be challenging, but starting together makes it easier — and the feeling at the end is always worth the effort. 🔥

A good reminder that consistency and support take us further, both in sports and at work.

👉 What’s your go-to routine to kick-start the workday?

Does this sound familiar? 👇

You’ve put in a lot of effort to get the kids dressed for winter.
Gloves, hats, helmets, spare clothes.
Finally, everything is in the car and you’ve made it to the slopes.

And then… the waiting begins. 😮‍💨
 ❄️ A long line at the rental counter
 ❄️ “We’re just looking for the right equipment…”
 ❄️ A rental agreement no one actually reads
 ❄️ Being asked to leave documents or an ID as a deposit (which isn’t even okay)
 ❄️ No clear labeling on the equipment — it’s unclear
 what was rented out, when, and for how long.
❄️ Was it used for two hours — or three or more? No one really knows.

The kids are waiting. Patience runs out.

And by the time you finally get to the slope, half the energy and good mood are gone — for both kids and parents.

🎿 Why couldn’t it be like this?
 ✔️ Book the equipment in advance
 ✔️ Arrive on site
 ✔️ Pick up ready-to-go gear
 ✔️ Start riding immediately

This is exactly the kind of experience we’ve built a solution for with Autlio —
for ski, snowboard, skate rentals and more.
Less waiting. Less confusion. More joy on the slopes.

👉 Let us know:
Where should winter sports equipment rental be truly convenient?
Which ski resort or ice rink desperately needs a better rental experience? 👀

Let’s make winter sports simpler — especially for families with kids. ❄️🎿⛸️

We turned parcel lockers into sales machines 🚀
  
Autlio has introduced the ability to sell products through smart lockers, enabling businesses to create entirely new, fully automated business models that operate 24/7.

Previously, Autlio smart lockers were primarily used for rentals and service delivery.

Now, all smart lockers connected to Autlio can also be used for product sales.

🛒 How does it work?
✔️ Products are placed inside individual locker compartments
✔️ The customer scans a QR code
✔️ Payment is completed online
✔️ The correct compartment opens automatically
✔️ The product is collected — no staff required

✨ Why does this matter?

The same smart locker can be used in parallel for:
- rentals
- sales
- service delivery

Additionally, the solution is:
- fully contactless and automated
- operable without on-site staff
- enabling new business opportunities
- helping to keep operational costs low

🔁 And it doesn’t stop at smart lockers.
The same Autlio logic and platform also works for:

🚚 trailer locks (e.g. trailer rentals and sales)
🏋️ gym / sport center access (buy a pass → enter immediately)
🔑 keyless access management

💬 Where would you like to see the next automated sales machine?

👉 In essence: one platform, unlimited business models.
Autlio helps transform existing lockers, locks, and access points into smart, automated sales channels.

How much time do we actually spend in waiting rooms? ⏳

We sit.
We wait.
We check the clock. 👀⌚️

Sometimes 5 minutes.
Sometimes 30.
Sometimes, an entire morning or evening was supposed to be “free time.” 🌤️

We’ve simply normalized it.
That service means waiting.
Those processes only work during office hours. 🕘

But Sunday is a good moment to ask:
Does it really have to be this way? 🤔

Small changes in services can give people back something incredibly valuable — time. ⏱️✨
And time is the one thing you can never create more of.

Do you enjoy waiting — or does it drive you crazy? ⏳

Half-Man, Half-Meme, 100% SE

Do you see random memes on your LinkedIn feed? It’s probably me!

Are you getting phone calls from numbers you don't recognize? Me again :)

I'm only half-joking but when I'm not posting memes or cold calling, I'm doing everything I can to improve my business acumen and lead a life of integrity, optimism, and service. 

I'm passionate about making a positive impact in my personal and professional communities. Ultimately, my personal mission is to help others and hopefully make some people laugh along the way.

I gave up YouTube in 2025.

Don’t get me wrong, I love YouTube, but it just felt like a time suck that wasn’t serving me anymore.

As a result, I wound up doing different things in my free time, like:

-Getting back into running 🏃
-Starting a podcast 🎙️
-Vibe coding (my vibes are infinitely better than my coding skills) ⌨️

Ultimately, I got bored more, which caused me to try things I haven’t done before and push myself in ways I haven’t.

This year I am giving up 2 things which I also love:

-Sour candy 🍋
-Energy drinks 🔋

Not all heroes wear capes, some just skip putting gummies in their cart at the grocery store.

Stay posted for updates throughout the year.

Oh yeah, and I’m posting on LinkedIn more this year. Sharing my wins, my losses, and everything in between.

PUMPED TO BE BACK!
