On paper, I am a lot of things, I have a lot of labels and many clichés. I am French but I embrace every day the beauty of this dream called Europe. I have no doubt about the power of diversity and collaboration.

On paper I am a Student. I am about to finish my Masters in Entrepreneurship & Strategy. But I avoid studying. The less I can do, the better. I do not study, I learn. I am a life-learner craving for take-away to take away. I pursue knowledge as much as I eat baguette and fromage.

Because teaching is part of the learning process, I like to share some of my best recipes with others. As we say in French “Shared pleasures are always the best”.

Off paper, I like to help others to grow. But I am not such a thing as a Coach. I like to nurture myself and those who are willing to be fed. I like to share the inspiration I am drowning in and the best ideas I´ve ever heard or had. I like this process so much that I started connecting and collecting the infinite advice of the world.

In fact, on paper, I write. But I am not such a thing as a Writer. I write with consistency and passion, meaningful sentences and poetic nonsense. Reading and writing is what I spend most of my days doing, but that is the current chosen channel for transmitting my ideas and exercising my mind, not the final destination.

I started doing so because 2 years ago, I had an economic revelation. But I am not such a thing as an Economist. I am writing a book on how we could improve our current economic situation but that is only because I have the need to expose this simple solution to the world.

I would like to make things evolve and have a positive impact on the world around me. Not just for the sake of it, but because Change is the only constant, and we need a beneficial and direct one right now.

As much as we can all grow individually. so can we grow collectively.

“Ideas shape the course of history”. - John Maynard Keynes

No matter how much time and effort it will take; I pursue my best ideas by connecting them to new ones. What matters is to make things happen. In spite of any clichés, I give priority to my imagination.

What my irrational passion tells me to do, I will put all my creative and pragmatic energy into it.

I am not a student, a coach, a writer or an economist. I am none of them and much more.

I think, therefore I create.

My name is Florent Thurin, I am a creative entrepreneur.
