Hello, I’m Thomas. Welcome to my Substack.
I live in northern Europe, on the beautiful southwest coast of Finland.
One day I realized that I had accumulated an arsenal of ideas—a way of seeing the world. Rather than having all that stuff circulating in my system without much purpose or clarity, I decided to dissolve them into ink, which gave birth to my book project and this blog.
I’m interested in things that support us making wise choices individually and collectively in our pursuits for growth. It means cultivating hope, pruning despair, and collecting the fruits of innovation. It applies to everyone individually, it applies to business strategies, and it applies to governments as platforms in the service of people. This blog provides brief little commentaries on current events and explorations into ideas that, typically for reasons unknown, pop up.
My professional background is in entrepreneurship and business design with emphasis on high tech, deep tech, and also health. My interests cover a broad spectrum of topics from the foundations of the human condition to the current quirks of consumerism. I’m into all kinds of creative pursuits with music being the main one.
Whether you're here to find inspiration, to challenge your own thinking, or to contribute your own insights in the comments section, I wish you warmly welcome.
