Author Introduction
I am an exile who fled my country, formerly a chef. I studied the entrepreneurial spirit at KAIST College of Business in Korea. I spent years in the trenches as a consultant for major corporation and HR firms. After being purged from the corporate, I spent six years fighting for my livelihood running a German restaurant. I’ve stared down pandemic debt and ground out delivery shifts just to stay afloat. My only objective was survival. Now, from Gori, Georgia, I explore a philosophy of survival for those who seek to build their own kingdoms—such as small business owners and creators—without relying on the state or large corporations.
🏴☠️ What I Write About: Phenomenological Management, Producer Sovereignty
I explore two main themes: Phenomenological Management and Producer Sovereignty. These represent the two pillars of a ‘philosophy of survival’ for small business owners and independent creators. To master this, one must understand the characteristics of dopamine capitalism and the democratic welfare state, and strategically navigate their vulnerabilities. I will do my best to provide articles that offer fresh perspectives on state, society, and economy.
