Martijn Aslander’s Summary

I'm a 36 year old lifehacker, connector and resourcerer.

I'm interested in setting things in motion, to develop myself and others.

Most of my time I spend learning and thinking.

The rest of the time I engage with people and connect people.

After reading The Tipping Point, the book of Malcolm Gladwell on social epidemics, I figured out that I am a maven, a connector as well as a salesman. If you want to spread ideas an knowledge like I do, you need people with these roles.

I live from donations since 6 years now, after I figured out, that it could be a path that would be much richer dan the path of being a consultant that can be hired.
Richer in the sense of value to me and others, value in a much broader meaning than just money. We live in the age of acces now, and access will be more important than possesion in the next decades, I think.

I love to give lectures and do that over 80 times a year, speaking about the new economy, valuecreation, marketing 2.0, complementairy economics, networking, lifehacking, and about my ideas to make te world a better place, with my insights in social and information capital.

In 2002, 14.00 people joined together to build the biggest dolmen in the world. By hand, in only 16 days. A huge achievement, solving one of the mysterys of our time.

I came up with the idea, and founded the project, supported by a great team of people. At the end, we succeeded in the project, and got 12 mln euro worth of publicity for the region in which the project was organised.(the northern part of the netherlands)
