Name your top 3 hustle essentials.

I love a good coffee and recently discovered the difference it makes when you grind your own beans - that was a complete game changer for me. Other than that I journal every morning, answering five questions that check-in on my focus for the day as well as on the habits which I try building. I’m truly not a morning person, but both these things help me to start into the day with much more energy and excitement about what’s to come.

When not hustling for Zenyum, what do you have a heart for?

I like physical activities that leave time for mental reflection. Two examples: Gardening and Yoga. Watering or pruning plants is a meditative activity for me that opens up a mind space to just let thoughts in which in a heavily scheduled calendar wouldn’t fit otherwise. I also do 90 minutes of hot yoga regularly, which completely exhausts you on a physical level but creates the time and space to reflect on an intense week or an interesting business problem.

What is something about working together that has left an impression on you?

We had a discussion within the Board once about a partnership which we’d like to open up. Joe from TNB Aura actually went out of his way to open that conversation, cold-calling until he found the right contact. Today it’s a big distribution and source of revenue for us. I very much like to know that we have a partner that has the same level of drive and hustle for Zenyum as we do internally.
