A Mapo Tofu inspired dish with mince, tofu and beetroot. #SportsRecoveryThis is very far away from the Chinese dish Mapo Tofu, but I got inspired and invented this the other day. So good and so easy, so I thought I’d record and share the recipe 😀 Based on this Japaense Mapo Tofu recipe. What’s Kiwi about this? Beetroot! and not spicy at all.. (this is mostly my preferences) 😛 This dish is great for sports recovery because of the beetroot.

I’m a developer and a tech founder. I’ve had a strong interest in business since my teenage years. I like to read about sales and business in general. I’d like to introduce the good type of selling to my technical peers, because there are unhelpful stereotypes and misconceptions about selling.

I like to avoid putting my things and thoughts into boxes.

Money is a representation of value. Money isn’t good or bad. It doesn’t define who we are. Our choices define who we are. Money can buy time and energy to some degree, and that’s about it. Value is a perception. Value exists in people’s minds only. There is no intrinsic value to anything, even though there are commonly agreed value of certain items. The same item can worth different amount to different people at different times.

What does negotiation mean to you? A fight where you’d have to compromise? If so, it must be very hard for you to think clearly in negotiations. This is because when your brain is in the fight or flight mode, the logical part of your brain is almost completely shut off. The Inner Game of Negotiation You can only use the rest of clever techniques, once you get out of the fight or flight mode.
