New personal record I did not want to set. Tokyo to Austria, door-to-door: 39 hours. Beats my previous worst (Honolulu → Vienna) by one hour. 🫩

One more thought before boarding my flight back home: Together, these people design and build products for Billions (with a B!) of people. Incredibly grateful to be even a tiny part of this. Blows my mind. 🤯

Design Forum Tokyo was an absolute blast. So glad I extended my trip for this. 👏

My coffee came with a business card. Tokyo’s attention to detail is something else. ☕️ 👀

Tokyo Lights. 👀🔥 #photography #tokyo #shibuya

Immigration in Bangkok: Almost two hours this time. Immigration in Tokyo: 15min. Touchdown to hotel in almost under an hour. I’d say that’s a very good start Japan! 🇯🇵 👏

Your worst customers demand discounts and other special prices. They either aren’t seeing the value, or they’re not building a respectful two-way relationship. (1/5)

Climbed 1.260 stairs for this view. 🥵

Is “guy who takes pictures of boats” a valid career path if appointmed doesn’t work out? 😅 #photography #travel

Left my Macbook behind for the first time in ~16 years for this trip. Feels weird, but deserved after grinding this long with only a few days off at a time. First multi-week break ever since going full-time on my own almost 20 years ago. 👴🫠

Embrace marketing. Even a great product dies if no one knows about it.

Traffic and sunshine. Bangkok in a single photo.😅

All packed and ready. Tomorrow I’m flying to Thailand for some sun before continuing to Japan for Tokyo Design Forum. Let’s goooooooo 💪

At scale, but even with a single team of 6, if you’re not completely aligned, then everyone is moving in different directions, so the group as a whole is moving slowly compared to what it could be. Alignment is an accelerant.

Almost time for our session. I get to talk about two of my favorite things: Product Design and Aviation! 🥳 Want to join us? www.duda.co/webinars/b2s...

I sat down over the weekend, to write a bit about what 10 years of patience actually buys you. The good, the messy, and the parts that surprised me. It’s a longer read, but I’m proud of this one and maybe it helps other founders along the way. www.saismo.at/writing/10y

10 Years of appointmed: What Patience Actually Buys You – Slow & Steady by Patrik Inzinger

10 years of building slowly: 7-figure revenue, 1% annual churn, 8-person team. What patience actually buys you when you have the patience to build right.

"Rental Family" was a surprisingly good movie. Also, a great way to get in the mood for my trip to Tokyo! 🗼

This week we hit 10 years. It’s been one hell of a journey, full of wins, devastating setbacks, and everything in between. Hard to believe we made it here and excited for what’s next. 🍰 🍾

Two days at the spa with the entire company is great way to kick off the new year. 🧘‍♂️ 10/10 highly recommend.

I had a full todo list today. Decided I deserve a day off instead. 🧘‍♂️ Kobe approves. 🐕

Happy new Alter Bridge record day to all who celebrate 🤘🎸 open.spotify.com/album/1E2G7Q...

My Bose QC35 won't turn off anymore. Battery is _always_ dead. 😢😢 What are the absolute best noise-cancelling headphones right now? Still Bose? Sony? Something entirely different? 🤔 (please don't recommend Airpods Max)

My copy of The Pathless Path is somewhere between the Netherlands and Austria and I can’t wait to dive in. 📦 That post about the reason why it exists hyped me up even more! https://pathlesspath.com/reclaim-the-book/

That partly solves my problem of finding interesting content on BlueSky. Great feed!

Ever since I switched back to Apple Reminders, I've missed the fantastic(!) Quick-Entry feature from Todoist. Until I found this super simple menu bar app: github.com/DamascenoRaf... It's not perfect, but close enough for my needs. If you're using Reminders too, it's definitely worth a look!

Reading @asmartbear.com articles is like fighting a hydra. Cut through one, four more spawn in your tabs. Except instead of eventually winning, you just become a better entrepreneur while drowning in your reading list. 🫠

I wish there were a way to import specific people from X so I can see their posts here on BlueSky. I still have so many friends and followers who haven't moved over (yet?). 😔

Oof… 😮‍💨 Watched Nuremberg tonight. it feels disturbingly relevant to what we’re seeing in the US right now. https://youtu.be/WvAy9C-bipY?si=mzLMBqgUKjR5EQ9f

The best designers are exceptional systems thinkers, which makes them dangerous product builders in 2026.

Been back at the gym for a few weeks. Body has adapted again, so I started tracking my progress. Tried hevy.com today. Great interface and Apple Watch integration works well. 👏
