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.

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? ⏳

Woke up at 3:30 AM and had to blink twice.
 
Am I still dreaming?

We fell asleep beneath the Arctic sky.

And woke up in the middle of the night to a show by Mother Nature herself.

 Green waves dancing above us.

I’m currently traveling through Lapland to film its magic for Christoffel Travel.

And capturing the Northern Lights like this feels unreal.

Here’s a small selection from day one.

The snowy streets of Gouda - Which one is your favorite? (1-6)

No alternative text description for this image

Capturing the Northern Lights was on my bucket list for years.

It wasn’t supposed to happen anytime soon:

Last week, I got a call from Christoffel Travel.

“Can you shoot video for us in Lapland?”

The only problem: I had just booked my long-awaited vacation to Sri Lanka.

So my first thought was: This won’t work.

But then the plan started to come together in my head.

If I reschedule my ticket and take my girlfriend with me…

It would work!

A couple of days later, we were witnessing the mind-blowing Northern Lights.

Morning movement on snowy days.

I find it fascinating:

Watching how a city awakens. 

And snow changes everything.

People slow down.
More people walk, and parents tow their kids to school on a sled.

It even changes how people behave.
There’s more kindness.
More small conversations on the street.

These are some of my favorite snowy morning moments.

Which one do you like most? (1–7)

Why would you use a flash during snowfall? 📸 

One of the best aspects of creating:

The constant opportunity to learn new things. 

This time, I brought a flash into the snow.

Not to light the scene, but to light the flakes.

The result: light bouncing back creates texture and depth.

What do you think of the effect?

This video got 8698 likes and 61.000 views on TikTok 

Only posting on LinkedIn? You're missing out:

Alex Hormozi says it right: post wherever you have a following. 

Most of us have a following on other platforms as well. 

Why don't we take advantage of those and achieve the best results?

That's why I share my content across multiple platforms, which helps me achieve better results.

Take one of my latest videos, for example:

𝐓𝐢𝐤𝐓𝐨𝐤: 8689 likes, 61.000 views
𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧: 75 likes, 2653 impressions
𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦: 136 likes, 1549 views

Consider posting on multiple platforms to maximize results.

Do you pos on post on other platforms?

I’ve been sharing more photography lately.

And here’s why:

It's not that I am not producing film content.

Most days are spent filming and editing branded content.

But I needed air at some point.

So I stepped outside with my camera and captured winter as it was cold and beautiful.

Being out on the streets and shooting gets me into the flow quickly.

Photography is a lower-maintenance way to practice my craft.

To observe light, composition, and mood without extra film editing work.

Still creating visual stories, just in a different form.
