Rainy Day? Attitude is Everything.
Hello my friends! It’s cold and rainy today and it kind of sucks. It kind of sucks because yesterday it was hot and sunny which gave us hope for the pending summer we are all desperately waiting for.

Richard Branson: An Icon of Business and Life
One day in 2014, while I was killing office work time going through my LinkedIn feed, I discovered The Man behind the super successful Virgin empire.

When I found out that Switzerland has a French, German AND an Italian part, I thought: Wow! It’s like buy 1 country get 2 free. The first couple of years were rough. Aside from Tobi and his family, I didn’t know anyone here and I didn’t understand the language or culture. “Home” for me was flying across the Atlantic Ocean to the…
