This week I’ve been quite busy. Just launching into the market two new short-term rentals. Looking at the dishwasher, some furniture, attending the internet technical guy… things like that. I could probably delegate all this, but sometimes, you want to be on top of everything. Why do I do this? Why, would you ask. ​ Because I like it… and because I do believe that money is important. Very important. You may like it more or less, but 99% of the decisions you will make in the future will be influenced by the money in your wallet. Or maybe 99.99%... I could be wrong with the decimals… ​ Where you live, how you live, the number of generic brands in your fridge, and the school your children attend will depend on the money you manage. ​ Now, I’m not saying it should be the center of your life… its importance is just only a little below the air you breath… But it is certainly a huge help in keeping the real center running smoothly. ​ So, wouldn’t it be a better idea to establish a healthy relationship with money and make an effort to understand how to save it, invest it, or generate it? ​ I’d say yes. ​ But that’s just my opinion. ​ Money is not your enemy. It’s not the devil. It’s not a spiritual obstacle. ​ What I’m trying to tell my young child is that, on the contrary, money is a wonderful universal agreement. A beautiful way to acknowledge the value received and given. ​ And ignoring its importance is denying both our era and human intelligence. ​ I insist—this isn’t about obsessing over money, but about understanding and integrating its relevance in the times we live in. ​ Otherwise, you should have been born earlier—or later. ​ That said, there are a thousand places that can help you grasp this idea, and nine hundred and ninety-nine of them are probably great. ​ But this one (which happens to be mine, and which I proudly and happily invite you to buy) is too. ​ Do you want to know why I’m doing short term rentals? ​ The answer, below. ​Even you can make money on real estate - Price $14.90​ ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Obesity is a big public-health challenge, affecting over 1bn people worldwide in 2025. According to The Economist, guys that love models and projections… this is projected to double by 2035. And you know how is doing anything about it? Almost nobody. And doing things for real? Nobody at all. The usual suspects are known, and demonstrated to be guilty. Lack of exercise, excess of sugar and products you won’t give to your dog. Still, nobody makes tackle any of these things a priority. Not even...
I did not know that idea from Bezos. Yes, the Amazon guy. Getting better with time like good wine. Apparently, when organizing meetings he is a weirdoo. And one of his weirdadas is that “if you have to order two pizzas, there are too many people in the meeting”. Of course, he does not care about people fasting. The idea is that 80% of the best decisions, ideas, etc. come from the 20% of people. So, why having to spend more money on pizzas… Bezitos is known for saving to the penny… and the...
Yesterday I saw an orange New Beetle. I love cars. And this “orange” that seemed so eccentric and powerful reminded me a picture I saw in LinkedIn. The picture compares two parking lots. One in the 70s and another one today. In the 70s, you had a rainbow of colours. Green, blue, red, yellow, orange… Different tones… If you go today to a parking lot, you’ll see black, white, a few grey and fewer red and blue. We are in a world where it’s better not to grab attention. To go with the flow....
