Travel, Give, Grow: how can this improve your life?

Travel, Give, Grow: how can this improve your life?


September was a month filled with excitement and meaningful experiences.

I traveled to Singapore for work, where I met with some of my closest investment partners and gained valuable insights to share with my clients. It was an incredibly productive trip, but I also managed to carve out some time for a few unforgettable moments.

?One highlight was witnessing the Formula 1 Grand Prix live, cheering on my fellow countryman, Max Verstappen. The energy was electrifying, and being there in person was an experience unlike any other.

In addition to the Grand Prix, I enjoyed a VIP tour of Universal Studios. Without a doubt, it was the best theme park experience I’ve ever had. I felt like a kid again, completely immersed in the rides and attractions, savoring every moment.

But September wasn’t just about adventure—it was also about giving back.

I had the privilege of hosting a financial wellbeing seminar for a Fortune 500 company ranked in the top 20. Around 100 employees attended, and it was rewarding to share insights, offer tips, and provide advice to help them improve their financial situation.

I also participated in a 24-hour live LinkedIn event hosted by my friend, Jonathan Palmar. As a LinkedIn superstar, Jonathan brought together many influential figures from the platform. I had the honor of opening the event with him.

What makes Jonathan's story even more inspiring is that he’s still recovering from breaking both of his legs during a podcast shoot we did together in the Netherlands last May. Watching him turn personal trauma into a force for good is truly heartwarming.

I donated $500 to a foundation in Nepal, run by a Sherpa I spent 16 days with while trekking the Manaslu Circuit earlier this year. The donation will support families in remote areas, providing much-needed resources to those in need.

This is just the beginning. I’m committed to giving back more—both with my money and my time.?My focus is on helping children who need support.


Investment tip: compounded interest


Picture this: you’ve got a money-making tree. You plant a seed (your initial investment) in the ground, and it sprouts a few apples (your interest) at the end of the year. Sweet, right? But here's where the fun happens: instead of just eating those apples, you decide to plant them back into the ground.

Next year, not only does your tree grow even more apples, but those apples from the first year? Yeah, they're sprouting little apple trees too, each producing their own apples. Now, you've got apple trees growing more apple trees! It’s like an apple explosion.

That’s compounded interest—your money isn't just earning interest; it's earning interest on the interest, and then interest on the interest's interest! It’s like a snowball rolling down a hill that just keeps picking up more snow... and soon, it’s big enough to roll right over a castle. Or at least a comfy retirement.

The key? Don’t eat all the apples too soon (or in financial terms, don’t take out the interest). Let those apples grow more apples, and soon, your tree will be a whole orchard. You'll be swimming in apples (aka money) before you know it!

Is office life forever?


The perfect morning starts with your daily routine ? You wake up, stretch, and see the sunlight streaming through your window. The start of a new day feels promising, doesn’t it?

The routine is comforting—familiar faces, a warm cup of coffee, and the daily grind.

But here’s the hard truth: How many more days like this do you have left?

Every day, life changes.

Some of those changes bring joy, but others can turn your world upside down.

Think about it—how many of your colleagues have disappeared from the office?

Some retired early, some moved on, and others faced an unexpected end to their working lives.

One day, it will be your turn. What happens when your routine suddenly stops?

Will you be ready, or will you be caught off guard, scrambling to make ends meet?

Will you still wake up, go through the motions, and hope for a paycheck that’s no longer there?

The clock is ticking.

Every day you wait is another day you’re risking your future.

Don’t let the sun set on your dreams because you didn’t take action when you had the chance.

So, ask yourself: What can you do today to make sure your future is as bright as this day?

Your future self will thank you for the decisions you make now—before it’s too late

Art investments have the power to deliver high returns


Art isn’t a weekend hobby for the wealthy. It’s an investment with the power to deliver 10-25% annual returns.

And guess what? It’s not just reserved for gallery insiders. The truth is, the difference between one person hanging a painting on their wall and another person hanging a fortune on theirs is simple: Knowing which artist, which painting, and when to act.

Imagine owning a piece from a major artist when the world hasn’t yet caught on to its value.

You don't just own a painting; you own an opportunity.

You own an investment that quietly appreciates, compounding its worthwhile you enjoy it.

That’s the knowledge we bring to the table—an insider’s look at what’s next in the art world, what’s undervalued, and what’s poised for explosive growth.

Investing in art is like planting a seed. You nurture it, let it grow, and in time, it bears fruit. But unlike stocks or bonds, art doesn’t just sit in a portfolio.

It’s something you can appreciate, both in beauty and in value. This isn’t about playing it safe; it’s about recognizing when the world is whispering about the next big thing and knowing when to act.

So, why just watch others profit from the masterpieces of tomorrow when you can be part of the story?

The canvas is waiting. Are you ready to see what others can’t?

Is there ethics in the investment world?


Is there room for ethics in the investment world?

Managing someone else’s money is a privilege, not just a job.

Every decision doesn’t just affect a portfolio—it shapes lives, futures, and families.

When someone trusts you with their financial well-being, integrity isn’t optional—it’s mandatory.

Ethics is about doing the right thing, especially when no one’s looking.

It’s about being honest, transparent, and always putting the client first, beyond short-term gains or pressure from the crowd.

True ethics come from constantly checking yourself.

Ask: “Am I really acting in my client’s best interest?”

Look to those who lead with integrity and let their actions inspire you.

Ethics isn't a one-time choice—it’s a habit built over a lifetime.

When things go south, as they sometimes will, honesty is your only option.

Lying, even to yourself, will destroy trust, tarnish your reputation, and erode your own moral compass.

In the end, it’s not about the returns—it’s about the trust, relationships, and lives you’ve touched.

That’s the real legacy.

A bit about me:


I’m a Dutch expat who’s proudly called Dubai home for over a decade. I’m fortunate to share this life with my wonderful wife and our two lovely daughters .

In the early years of my career, I dove into the early education and childcare business my father built. Those five years were incredibly formative, giving me hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the business world at a young age.

But as valuable as that experience was, I soon realized my true passion lay elsewhere. I craved a career that challenged me and sparked my enthusiasm, which led me to the financial industry. Here, I’ve found the fulfillment and excitement I was searching for.

For the past ten years, my focus has shifted from growing businesses to helping individuals navigate their financial journeys. Along the way, I’ve built strong, lasting relationships that I deeply cherish.

As both an expat and an investor, I understand the challenges of finding the right investment opportunities and trustworthy partners. It’s not always easy, but it’s crucial. That’s why I prioritize honesty, doing the right thing, and building relationships rooted in trust. My commitment is to provide solutions that truly work, offering sound advice and striving to be the best at what I do.

I know I can add value to expats and investors not just here in Dubai but across the globe. In fact, 50% of my clients are based outside the UAE, spread across various countries.

If you’d like to connect sometime, I’d love to chat.
