AC/DC and its implications
It’s funny how many meanings a single word can have. Or, in this case, abbreviations. First was Before Christ/After Christ. (Note: Yes, I know, dear international reader, this article doesn’t hold up in English because it relies on puns that only make sense in Spanish. That’s what happens with certain translations. Like the origin of…

The multiple personality of a founder
In the space of a few days I have been approached by two projects seeking my collaboration. They are two very different projects. In very different sectors, although both are based on technology. But both have similar problems with the technological development part. And they are looking for someone to get involved in the project.…

Well, lo and behold, I found my voice
No. It’s not that I’ve gone hoarse. I recently wrote an article in which I commented on why I think it is a good strategy to write in my blog on a daily basis. And I also indicated why it is not advisable to write articles of excessive value. But what I didn’t explain in…

Value is overvalued
The title seems appropriate. My friend Ben Kastl suggests “Value is overvalued” after a conversation that begins with the now commonplace “I see you more active on social media”. This is one of the meetings that we periodically organise at the Mallorca Entrepreneurs Hub. And yes, I am certainly more active on social media. This…

Data is already the new oil
I have been hearing this phrase for years: Data is going to be the oil of the future. But these days the phrase has become much more tangible. Tesla has launched the subscription to full autonomous driving. Until now, autonomous driving was an add-on package to the vehicle itself that had to be purchased for…

The worst title for your LinkedIn
The job title you put on your LinkedIn profile says a lot about you. If the one that says: “General Manager at …” “CEO at …” “Application Developer at …” In my case a few years ago I put “Innovation strategy, IT and digital transformation. Entrepreneur. Speaker. Founder of Baleares Business Leadership”. At least it…

Likes don’t pay the bills
The second beer was very cold. We toasted after a looong time without being able to do it in person. The official excuse was to share what we are doing with our communities. The truth is that we really wanted to meet up with friends and enjoy a few beers now that the summer heat…

How to be UN-STOP-PABLE
I have known Sebastián Lora for just over 8 years. I have always been impressed by his ability as a communicator. I would say innate because I have always seen him that way, but when he tells his story it is clear that it is not innate at all. As he likes to say: “It…

Altruistic but not unrewarding
Saturday was a special day. A very special one. The culmination of almost two years of work. Normally it would have been a year, but Covid complicated things. Although the preparation work was largely done, the start-up had to be postponed. But there were no more excuses and in the end we made it. On…

To graduation!
This weekend we have varied our traditional family toast. We usually use “To the revolution!” followed by the traditional clinking of glasses. We are not very revolutionary either. We would like to change a lot of things, but without the need for violence. The “To the revolution!” was our toast inherited from the cronies that…
