This is me - Marcus. hi.
I'm excited to get to know you guys. I pretty much learned about this place through my friend and being a big fan of Reddit I'm jumping on the wagon - Nice to meet you, and thank you
for showing me this awesome community. So the TLDR about me: I'm a remote (ish) worker, I love kiting and I absolutely love travel. And especially a mix of all of the above.
So perhaps those subjects should be the focus of my steemit-logging, what do you think? Does that sound intriguing? Btw, is that what we're calling this? I mean, vlogging is a term right? Steem-logging? Stogging? Ok I'll stop now.
This is my home. Or close to it. Pulpit rock. It's pretty awesome.
So what about me? Well, I'm Norwegian but pretty much feel like a Global citizen. I've worked and lived in three continents - Europe, Australia and the U.S. I'm somewhat of a corporate dropout - I started my career in an oil&gas company but after joining a Startup Weekend in 2012 I realized there was this whole new magical world of entrepreneurs. It was literally like taking the red pill, falling down the rabbithole and re-discovering what work could be. Here was this whole (global) community of people who were optimistic, positive, innovative, smart. Wow. They were nothing like my coworkers who were all constantly complaining, dragging their feet, and making everyone else's day miserable. These startup guys - they were on fire! I was hooked.
A year and one MBA degree (in beautiful Sunshine Coast, Australia) later, I started my own company. I now work as a innovation consultant and I get to travel to some of the worlds most epic places.
Me @ Google with -> Blue shirt corporate clients :D
So that is what I do now - I've joined the rebellion (maybe not Star Wars fans here, huh?). Basically I help established companies understand the digital revolution through various products, workshops, keynotes and bootcamps. I'm also a co-founder of two tech companies, but I'll share more on that later. And kiting. And - travel.
Ok guys. I'm pumped. Talk soon!
