That's crazy. People tend to forget what a tip is for. A tip is for someone going beyond or over and above their expected service... So for example this lady should have asked what he would like for his grab and go, given recommendations, asked if any allergies, would he like it
Not convinced about the roof, but this is the idea for our Digital Nomad Hubs real estate development: mid term rentals.
Some units will be available for investment (we'll manage the units).
I have selected 4 locations to get started (Mozambique, Puerto Rico, Spain, France)...
So this just happened:
I went from 3600 followers at around 11am this morning, to 4100 this evening...
The number of comments (positive, supportive and encouraging) to my tweet of our project, has been truly beyond heart warming. I guess, we're thankful and grateful for it
This is the shower we've decided on!!!
Developing for our Digital Nomad Hubs and for our own homes... Is quite the cerebral gymnastics.
I hope my X mother approves!!

Not sure I agree...
Hermes is definitely not Lamborghini... I would have gone for Aston Martin for sure...
Hermes is discreet elegance, Lamborghini is rather shouty... Hence my thoughts of a mismatch...

Memories of being a student in Paris. 6th floor, no lifts, but amazing views (I was in the XVieme overlooking the Champ de Mars)... Forgetting things allowed for extra leg workouts... Or arms (broke my ankle twice in the same year).

Point taken... It's sad that the IS has never done anything about it. Everywhere else in the world, there is a basic salary... So my reference point is Europe.

I am keen on everything early stage and Pre-Seed... But getting a conversation going with Angels and VC in this space is like trying to break 100m sprint record, but neck deep in molasses.

Use the content created at those events to run an organic campaign followed by targeted ad campaign of 2k.
5k well spent and the ROI will be great. Being top of mind thanks to well organised events, gives great results.

I get asked often to source a variety of things. Cars is one of them.
An interesting fact, is that the highest demand is not for sports cars, it's actually old cars linked to nostalgia.

Best job ever... To a certain extent. Best years of my life earning a fraction of what I earn today.
Sometimes I question the trade-off... Only sometimes.
I met a woman 9 years ago on this day. The dating period was rocky.
We're married now, and she used those rocks to build the foundations for a long life together.
We're also business partners.
I will always remember the feeling in my whole core, that I knew she was the only
Best Way to do a European Vacation tour?
