A trip to Portugal, the master of the waves
From time to time, I like to spend time and enjoy the places I visit for business. Thanks to the “On the Edge” weekend event I attended near Lisbon, I was able to enjoy Ericeira and Nazaré, two of Portugal’s most exclusive surfing destinations. At the invitation of my
Anti-heroes of Turkey’s Disaster Response

Elon Musk’s Twitter Acquisition
When Elon Musk first became a potential buyer of Twitter, he caused a sensation. While there was debate about whether he would buy it and even a lawsuit, he quickly completed the purchase. Just when everything seemed to be falling into place, Musk never failed to surprise, and with his
