I know you won't do this

When you are with your radar on, even a short trip can bring you great ideas. You drive, everybody is sleeping, and you see business opportunities or business ideas. I can’t help it. Suddenly you see that there are people “operating” farms. I think that’s a great idea. I come from the countryside and I’m sick of seeing old people with no succession plan, and no buyers for their land. Great idea. Old and tired, too much work, very little gains, they can’t cope with technological changes, they close. With lots of baby boomers retiring, this seems to have a market. It’s like arbitrage in Airbnb… you don’t need to have lots of properties to make money in the real estate market. Just rent long term, operate short term rentals. It takes some work, but it’s profitable. Still… many people will read this, and won’t even get to the internet and check competitors for the farm operators, business models or whether there is any opportunities where they live. I did. And I won’t tell you the results. It’s just a question of mindset. You can see opportunities everywhere, or just trouble. If just see the second, don’t complain about Trump, Biden, taxes, or your paycheck. Take a look to the business opportunities I explain in this little book. Buy it today. Next week, I double the price.

1959 Japan started building a high-speed railway between Tokyo and Osaka. 515 kilometres. A completely new railway system. New tracks. New trains. New technology. By October 1964, passengers were travelling at over 200 km/h. Five and a half years. No AI, folks. No digital twins. And of course, no PowerPoint presentations explaining why delivery was becoming increasingly complicated. Just a country with a clear objective. And, of course, people determined to achieve it instead of jumping onto...
Yesterday, I received a bothering message from DHL indicating that my Canadian election package was in its way… So, today… Canada. 1907 Canada was building one of the most ambitious bridges in the world. The Quebec Bridge. A spectacular structure across the St. Lawrence River. Almost 550 metres between its main supports. A masterpiece of engineering. At least… as usual… on paper. The engineer was Theodore Cooper. Experienced. Respected. Confident. Very confident. Maybe too much… At some...
After a wisdom toothache, the one thing I most look forward to ending is an election campaign. New Zealand has a fascinating relationship with infrastructure. We want everything. European-quality public transport. Affordable housing. Less traffic. Lower emissions. And, of course, lower taxes. Beautiful. There's just one small problem. We don't want density. Everybody wants trains. Modern stations. Frequent services. Maybe even a metro. Like London. Or Paris. Or Madrid. But please, no...
