i owe skateboarding so much of who i am and what i love today. not being afraid to fall, an infinite love for exploring -places, people, topics, you name it-, a deep appreciation for culture at large -and magazines in particular-, a natural excitement for everything 'niche', see what most people don't... i could go on for hours. should write a blog post about this.

i started skateboarding and boxing pretty much at the same time -around 11/12 y/o; i.e. almost 25 years ago- both trajectories has been similar: i was practicing daily during my teenager years, i did some competitions, i went through a few years pauses from time to time but always got back to it at some point. the key difference though: boxing = i only practiced it and that's it. i never felt truly part of the culture at large. skateboarding = it's been a huge part of my identity all along. skaters would instantly spot i'm a skater too. i see myself as a skater; and i never stopped being part of the culture.

reading online how "as Vans tries to regain its footing after recent sales stumbles, the brand is turning to its tried and true skateboarding roots as part of a new marketing strategy" while hearing on the ground how "Vans is cutting budget here and there + has fired so many people from skateboarding" is... off-putting [to say the least]

'Do I want my kids to be hurt? Of course no. Do I want them to be afraid of everything and paralysed in face of every challenge? Hell no' I wrote about it more and collected some pieces here: https://k7v.in/kids-protection-gone-too-far

many things lead to this new blog post: i was reading Tom's 'taking risk'; while hanging out in the eu/acc discord server following Andreas 'wake up Europe' call; then i saw a friend celebrating his 1-year anniversary in the US; while traveling in SF: https://k7v.in/mindset-differences-between-europe-and-the-us

i also dreamt so many times about night-trains connecting great european cities. i wanted them -Midnight Trains- to succeed. Unfortunately, 4 years later, they decided to stop. here's their post-mortem -in french: https://www.midnight-trains.com/article/ici-meurt-la-nuit

as a couple, what's your relationship with money? listening to both Morgan & Gretchen Housel with @behaviorgap, it made me reflect on how we're dealing with the topic at home 👉 https://k7v.in/dealing-with-money-as-a-couple
