Md Consulting

After 18 months of relentless growth, discovery, and transformation, I’m heading back to Brussels for a week—a homecoming that feels less like a return and more like a turning point.

Eighteen months ago, I set out on a journey with no map—just a vision, a hunger to learn, and the unwavering support of my family and friends. Looking back, it’s astonishing how much can happen when you let curiosity and passion lead the way.

The Warrior’s Path

On the tatami, I found new limits and broke through them. Winning gold in a major Miami competition in Kata was more than a medal; it was a testament to discipline, resilience, and the power of focused training. Preparing for my 4th Dan black belt pushed me further, reminding me that mastery is never a destination—it’s a journey.

Building with Purpose

That same spirit fueled my work in AI. Inspired by the rigor and coaching of my Karate experience, I created an app designed to help startups build and execute their go-to-market strategies. This isn’t just another tool—it’s a real coaching system, powered by 9 specialized AI assistants. Each one is there to help you shape your business, strategy, sales, and marketing plans with the precision of a champion.

Sharing the Journey

Writing my upcoming book on Go-to-Market strategy in the era of AI has been a marathon of its own. Every chapter is shaped by real-world lessons, and the app I built is woven through its pages. The story isn’t finished yet, but every event, every conversation, every setback and breakthrough is part of the narrative.

The Power of Community

Over these months, I dove deep into the heart of the tech world—CES in Vegas, E-Merge and the AI Summit in Miami, Start-up Ole, and countless monthly gatherings from Boca to Fort Lauderdale. Each event was a masterclass in innovation and connection. I met visionaries who inspired me to push further, and I had the privilege to share my own journey—making four major presentations in just the last three months, fueled by the energy and encouragement of every attendee.

Conversations that Matter

Along the way, I launched a webcast platform, hosting over 20 incredible guests to explore a single, powerful theme: how AI can help us become better—more creative, more consistent, more human. The stories, wisdom, and authenticity of these guests have enriched my perspective and will be at the heart of my upcoming book.

Gratitude and Renewal

None of this would have been possible without the constant support of my wife, kids, parents, and friends. Their belief in me is the quiet force behind every achievement, every late-night writing session, every early-morning training.

Now, as I return to Brussels, it’s time to recharge where it all began. There’s something magical about summer in my hometown—gastronomy, laughter, and the simple joy of playing golf with my parents. Golf, like Karate, is a passion that teaches patience, focus, and humility. Perhaps one day, that will become another book.

A Turning Point

This isn’t just a homecoming. It’s a pause before the next leap—a moment to reflect, reconnect, and prepare for what’s next. I feel the momentum building, the sense that something extraordinary is just around the corner.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you’ve joined me on the mat, at an event, in a webcast, or through my writing, your presence matters. The story continues, and I can’t wait to share what comes next.

Stay inspired. Stay curious. The best is yet to come.
