what media is telling
I'm not a frequent guest of media, but if I or my products are mentioned, I will be storing these media features here.
In 2025, every business needs to adopt AI fast – to stay competitive, and meet customer demands.
You can ask our co-pilot to change pricing, update listings, and onboard new users, and it just does it.
Hattl has set a new standard for identifying skills, cultural fit, and growth potential in candidates.
some things I believe
In this section, I note down all the thoughts and values that make me me.
A sense of ownership is crucial. We spend over 100k hours (4160 days or 11 years) of pure time working, and you just can't do what you don't love. Love it or quit it.
Your self and your time are your most valuable assets. Invest in who you are, what you know, what you can, what you've done and who knows you.
Again, time is a valuable asset that you can't return. Don't waste it unless it's not an investment into an opportunity to save time or make your time more valuable.
What you've built and the people you helped are the only things that will left of you. Always care about with whom you work and what you bring to the world.
Things we call the world are built by people who are not a bit smarter than us. We can change the world, and it is our duty to reshape the world and the universe further.
Speed is important. Again, time is the most valuable thing, and speed saves it.
There's no magic pill or a winning blueprint, and shortcuts to success usually don't work. The universe will give you all your efforts back only if you have made any efforts.
Your mind always tricks you. Learn the cognitive biases matrix by heart to resist.
Laws of physics are your only limits. Other limits you set yourself by carrying beliefs which are neither true nor help you. We, as humans, can build, make and achieve everything we want.
