OMG, 10 years!

Who was to say to me that I would reach 10 years with this blog. It’s not that I don’t believe it, I have worked hard for it, but it seems like yesterday when one day in November 2014 I introduced myself and this blog.

Today I want to say THANK YOU to the more than 2,000 active subscribers, who week after week are there. THANK YOU for giving me part of your time, either to read the post at full speed, to read it calmly, to read it at the same moment you receive it, to read it “when the time comes”, to read it with “all the ones I’m accumulating”, or to postpone it “because life and its main path, does not let us deviate for a while” (although I think it’s worth it). THANK YOU to all the people behind each post, because without you, this blog would be nothing, but even less would the entrepreneurial world and the world “just like that”. THANK YOU Juan, Tamara, Ainhoa, Ellin, Marianella, Álvaro, Anaska, Amaia, Toni, Anik, Camelia, Diego, Germán, Javier, Itziar, Gaptain, Marisa, Nagore, Muxote Potolo Bat, María, Mamen, Miren, Iratxe, Go Basquing, Arancha, Emakumeekin, EntreComp y EntreCompEdu, DeustoStart, Garbiñe, Andoni, Patricia, Arruti Consulting, Kristian, Asier, La galga menta, Harri kontari, Alupé, Kietoparao, Nuria, Ro, Mikel, Perico, kekelis, WOP… Hey, but I thank you as representatives of the many women entrepreneurs and men entrepreneurs, in short, P.E. that have passed through these pages, and as representatives of the projects and ideas that I have been able to talk about and echo. You are so many people that, from the bottom of my heart, I would love to have you all together and thank you with a huge hug (even more than the one you see in the photo) and “something else” that you deserve, I have no doubt at all.

This week I also have the pleasure and honor of being able to celebrate these 10 years with the Bantani Foundation, in Brussels, working with them and, in addition, being able to participate in the event, for me, of the year: Being Entrepreneurial 2024: Innovate Learning. Because, as you know, for me, being an entrepreneur is one of my passions, and being a teacherpreneur and being able to “shout it to the four winds” so that the attitude, mentality and entrepreneurial spirit reaches more people, is even more so. At this point, I have to give a special THANK YOU to the University of Deusto for giving me the opportunity to develop this facet. ESKERRIK ASKO, BIHOTZEZ!

By the way, I attach the agenda of the event, in case anyone is a little late but would like to come to Brussels and share with many people passionate about entrepreneurship that day.

Shall we go for another 10 years? Come on, let’s go for the next 5.

Fábrica de Valientes or how to improve the square meter we live in

Today’s post is about an entrepreneurial project and person who, honestly, I was eager to meet since a participant of the Ingenio and Ekin-IT entrepreneurship program told me about it a few years ago. I know that I should have done this a while ago, because I dare to say that I have found “one of my own”, one of those people with whom I believe I have so much in common and I consider would have been awesome to have known her before.

I want to dedicate this post with all my love, admiration and appreciation to a MORE THAN BRAVE colleague and friend who left us last Friday the 24th, her husband Sergio, and her children Iker and Amaia. Ainara, we still had some projects to do, but I promise that I will do everything I can to make some of our dreams a reality, even though it won’t be the same. This is for you. (more…)

papiroga

A couple of years ago, when I was posting something on my Instagram account, I discovered some very colorful and size XL jewels that, without any doubt, caught my attention. I liked them so much that it didn’t take me too long to click on her account and her web page, press the “like” button and do some research about who was behind them. That’s when I thought about writing a post about the E.P. that lead the brand which I’m going to talk about today and, of course, that’s also when I thought about having one (or more) of their pieces.

Do you want to know who I’m talking about? Keep reading, because I’m going to tell you. (more…)

The elastic generation

I’m sure that if I talk to you about generation X or Z you know what I mean, or at least, I’m sure they ring a bell, and the same with millennials or the generation Y, right? The point is that a few weeks ago I came across a new concept (at least for me):

the elastic generation or flat society. (more…)
