Start a few companies to fix what i don't like about my homecountry, starting from public healthcare and smuggling.

What don't you like about smuggling?

Smuggling is just free trade without waiting for your government to negotiate free trade agreements.

Have fun! If it's your first time full-time remote, please invest some time in to researching and optimizing your time management and work-life balance techniques and habits. Working remote for over six years now and the first couple of years were very rough for me because I let everything consume my life. If you need any advice, feel free to hit me up @gmail :)

I have sold two companies and am not super rich, but now I can live off my investments. I have dedicated my life to helping the world with OSS. This year I intend on releasing a project which will enable academics to have access to labeled image datasets more than 100x
