This weird hunk is an old picture of me.
There's more man-bun and less innocence now.
Who am I? A tough question I have asked myself, many times.
You are probably here because you are curious about who this unusual weirdo really is, and I'll do my best to provide you with a satisfying answer.
I'm a solutions architect, activist, animal lover, and entrepreneur, with a burning desire to do good in the world, and make the best use of my unusual set of skills in any way I can.
Hyttefeber.no
My most noticeable achievement in recent times, come from co-founding, scaling and operating hyttefeber.no. A webshop for cabin-owners to help improve life quality and happiness by selling products that help enjoy nature, the simple life, and family. We became "store of the year" on Prisjakt.no after being in business for almost 3 years, and surpassed 100 000 orders in the fall of 2023.
Building and operating this business doing practically everything ourselves (including customer service) taught me how to automate, operate and run a business, and all aspects that goes along with it.
Now I want to share my experience with others. Build systems. Help people grow. And spread an unrelenting force of positive, solution-oriented energy to those who needs it.
Personal
I understand that life is about the journey, not the destination. I want to solve problems, help people, and have fun along the way. I do my absolute best in being relentlessly genuine in everything I do. And I have no problems dancing on an empty dance floor if the music is right and the lights are down.
I also make music (techno, of course), under the moniker "Kryptokind". This is my creative outlet, and I make music I want to listen to myself.
Routines & health
I take cold showers with dancing, music, and breathwork, every day. I almost never drink alcohol, and try to limit my caffeine, meat, and sugar intake. I love geeking out about nutrition, and I also love everything about mushrooms.
I am a member of Mindvalley, and try to spend some time every day on personal development. I also practice the *Silva method. (*a form of NLP & self-hypnosis, as well as a means of training your intuition)
Education
I hold a bachelor's in marketing from Oslo School of Management ("Markedshøyskolen"). Specialized in PR, and bachelor thesis about Gamification, back in 2013.
"Every single extra click, is a click too many".
I get personally offended at friction in systems.
Friction is that extra screen where you have to add info you have already provided, again.
Friction is being forced to uncheck a box you most likely don't want to have checked.
Friction is forcing you to log in to a service you don't use, to unsubscribe from a newsletter.
Friction is using copy & paste, when it should just flow.
Friction is requiring redundant personal info to sign up.
Friction is putting something you rarely use, on top of something you use every day.
Friction is the enemy of recreation and happiness.
Friction is corporate slavery's best friend.
Friction is bullshit.
Yet, friction is also the barrier between the status quo and a better future for any individual, and I encourage everyone to actively seek discomfort every day, to grow and progress.
If my structured form is not suited, feel free to send me an email or give me a call.
Or if you get a nice vibe from reading about me and suspect I may be able to help.
I am enthusiastic, but picky.
