Over 2 years ago I met Charlie Kinnett with his vision to create a new platform for travelers and to motivate people to become travelers. As with any product development, this one came with ups and downs, moments of bliss and sleepless nights. But in the end, we successfully launched the product Interplace App. With my company Vitec - Your 360° Software Development Partner, we not only developed the software, but also designed and improved the product.  But this was just the beginning of the journey. The motivation and passion in Charlie was unique. You rarely meet people who believe so strongly in something and are prepared to give up many other things for it.  Something that also characterizes me. When Charlie offered me the chance to be part of Interplace's vision, I knew it would be a great opportunity. Interplace is a very good idea, but has an even better team behind it. As I already have several responsibilities, this was just a matter of time management for me, as I knew I wanted to be a part of it and be significant in shaping the vision. Thanks to Interplace's flexibility and understanding, we were able to find a fair and productive combination. Many thanks for that! I am very excited to become part of Interplace as CTO and to help shape the future of not only Interplace, but thousands of travelers. Interplace App Let's make the impossible possible together. Not tomorrow but today! 💪🚀🌟🍀 #impossiblepossible #togetherwearestrong #interplace #vitec

The hardest thing to ever build was culture? You know why? Because culture is something that can’t be purchased. Notably, Daniel Elk the co-founder of Spotify stated that culture is the biggest prized asset. Which many organisation struggle to cultivate. Stating that in particular where companies grow at a quick rate, and see themselves onboarding multiple staff members, how are they ever going to truly know how to embed the same DNA. This is something during my entrepreneurial journey that I too have found difficult. Within the last year or so we have gone from 6 or so staff members to a staff force of 20 employed in different capacities, from full time to part time to ad hoc. I have often longed for the answers, as to how we can embed a feeling of what it means to be a part of this mission. Which is simply inspiring the next generation to look beyond their normality. I have been frustrated where I haven’t seen the results overnight. Despite how many presentations have been delivered. But what I have learned is this. - there will always be growing pains - cultivating a positive environment takes time - model your behaviour for your staff to follow - always give praise where it is deserved - show up and show hard - each individual has their specific needs, lastly - there is no one size fits all. This is a reminder that that good things take time, give yourself grace, and be patient when longing for the results from your efforts. And finally, a kind reminder don’t be too harsh on yourself when plans don’t go to plan.

Some thoughts on the current role. The beginning of this journey was wild, overwhelming, and stressful but because of that, I also gained great value and experience myself :) Read more at: https://lnkd.in/gF_hQ6GV

Four years in business—unbelievable! To mark the occasion, I splurged on (another) camera and dove right back into the mission: making radical, life-changing impacts across all systems. When I say radical, I mean making big moves that count. People often ask, "Can one person really make a difference?" They're right; I don’t do this alone, I never have. I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with passionate lived experience experts, practitioners, leaders, and organisations, all committed to empowering each other and reshaping systems—and the experiences of those who connect with them. This isn’t just about stories or numbers. It’s about giving people caught in the struggle a real shot at a better life. We're not just talking—we're taking action to build safer communities and unlock potential in those left behind. I want this collective legacy to bleed impact—a testament to a better world. As a young person, I doubted what was possible, but now, that drive fuels me. I want my sons to know the power of standing with those who stand alone. This one hits home. It blows my mind that what started as a dream — Wounds & Wisdom — is now a powerhouse training organisation and consultancy firm, shaking up multiple sectors. I look forward to my partnership with Stephane Shepherd at 16 Yards doing the same (and more). Huge thanks to everyone on this journey, for sharing their stories and knowledge. Your grit and insight drive everything we do. I can't wait to keep pushing boundaries with those who inspire me. Every day, I think of those who believed in me—some still stand with me, others have passed on. Their support is never forgotten. And to my rock, my wife and kids—you keep me grounded and fired up through every challenge. Now, let's get back to work.
