Hey there, I'm Walter,
A middle-aged man with two lively boys, born in Germany but now living overseas, navigating the complex journey of life. If you’re looking for a blog that dives into the raw, unfiltered realities of daily struggles, leadership, transformation, entrepreneurship, and dealing with separation from a narcissist, you’ve come to the right place. Oh, and did I mention? I’m also heavily dyslexic, so cut me some slack on the spelling, but stick around for the real talk.
Daily Insights:
I write a daily diary entry structured to keep things real and relatable. Each entry is broken down into three parts:
1. The Daily Huddle: A no-nonsense look at what happened today, my honest thoughts, and a peek into the hearts of the folks involved. No fancy dressing, just the real deal.
2. Sifting Through the Scraps: Musings on my journey, the missteps, the little wins, and the relentless hustle. We’ll sort through the chaos together and find the bits worth holding onto.
3. Lessons from the Trenches: What I picked up today, how I grew (if I did), and any nuggets of wisdom worth passing on. Sometimes it’ll be deep, sometimes downright silly. That’s just how life rolls, folks.
Deep Dives and Book Reviews:
Besides my daily reflections, I also take a topic and go super deep. Whether it's leadership, entrepreneurship, or personal growth, I’ll dissect it and serve it up in a way that’s both practical and insightful. I read a lot of books to fuel these lessons, and I’m all about practical reviews. I get to the bottom line fast, telling you whether a book is a “should read” or a “nah, better not.”
What Makes Me Unique?
I’m a software engineer and top management consultant, with a history as a startup founder who went bust after the Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP) dried up funding. Despite my heavy dyslexia, I’m dedicated to writing entertaining and informative content. My journey includes navigating a separation from a narcissist and raising two young boys, adding layers of depth and authenticity to my writing.
Now, I’m back to consulting to pay the bills while I search for my next full-time position, a new startup opportunity, or explore the solopreneur route. My over-average intelligence and relentless drive keep me pushing forward, sharing insights and experiences that resonate with anyone striving to find their way in life.
