“I might as well throw everything away.” 📙
This was 11 months ago, in Guatemala.
I felt stuck writing my book.
Hundreds of ideas, but no coherent story.
Luckily, there was my girlfriend.
Lena.
In the most difficult writing phase, her optimism pushed me forward.
✂️ I still ended up cutting 100 pages.
But I’m happy I didn’t cut out the whole book.
Because I think people skills do not only help get value out of data.
I also believe they make the world a better place.
And even if my book would have helped only one person
Then all the writing struggles,
Big or small,
Were totally worth it.

I promise, this won't be another boring Zoom call.
