My Accomplishments

I have dedicated my life to showing the world that nonlinear thinking is not just a concept but a force for global transformation. Here's what I'm proud of: - Founder of The Octopus Movement: I created a global coalition of nonlinear thinkers spanning 94 countries, a network recognized for its unique approach to solving the unsolvable. The movement's valuation of $2.3 billion highlights its impact and potential. - Innovator of TellTOM: I designed an app that transforms complaints into actionable insights, creating a big-data platform for fostering meaningful global change. - Visionary Leader: I built the Global Nonlinear Brain, a think tank where diverse minds collaborate to tackle the world's complex challenges. - Published Author: My book explores the beauty of nonlinear thinking, inspiring readers to embrace their creative brilliance. - Media Creator: I wrote, produced, and starred in my own TV show in China, demonstrating my ability to cross cultural and creative boundaries. - Unconventional Artist: My art and thinking challenge societal norms, encouraging others to see the world differently. - Single Father of Three: I raise my children with a blend of love and nonlinear wisdom, teaching them to embrace life’s possibilities. - Survivor and Fighter: I overcame a brain infection, an experience that reinforced my belief in resilience and the power of the human spirit. Through all these accomplishments, my proudest achievement remains the creation of a safe, inclusive space where people from all walks of life can think differently and co-create a better world.

Why me

My unique ability to think in nonlinear ways allows me to see possibilities where others see obstacles. As a philosopher, leader, innovator, and founder of The Octopus Movement, I inspire others to embrace different thinking, unlock their potential, and create meaningful change in the world. My experiences, insights, and creative approach make me a catalyst for innovation and connection.

Fun Facts

#1 I was "homeless" for a year, gave up everything, just to understand life even more. And it gave me so much, I have never felt so clear. #2 I created a tv show in China, as a taxi driver. #3 I am a single dad with 3 kids and a dog. #4 I survived a brain infection, it was a complete meltdown of my brain. See the link (watch this), Brain on fire. It is exactly how it went for me as well.

My why

I believe that embracing nonlinear thinking and finding balance between the linear and nonlinear can transform lives, solve complex problems, and reduce suffering. By inspiring others to see the world differently and connect through authentic, meaningful conversations, I aim to spark positive change and co-create a better future. This purpose drives my work as a philosopher, innovator, leader, and founder of The Octopus Movement.
