What a life story: Tomi dropped out of school when he was 16 years old, worked at a construction site, as a trash collector in the Stockholm metro, found his inner calling, re-entered high school, finished with straight A's in all subjects, went to University, worked as an asset manager, quit his job, founded his own start-up, worked with some of the biggest sports clubs in the world, did not manage to break even in Spain, took the product to Asia, started with Triathlon and finally burned out in 2017. Now Tomi writes a book and works as a Keynote speaker.

  3. Money and material things are not key.
  4. A sense of meaning is key.
  5. When looking for investors, being young of age is not key. Getting paying customers is key.
