#XrisLogbook 78 - Property, Perseverance, Plate 🇫🇷

👍🏻 20 years ago, a wide-eyed dreamer (ahem, me!) made his first hashtag#realestate investment: a small pied-à-terre tucked away in a charming villa in hashtag#Lyon. Two decades later French bureaucracy has become a bit too much of a tango for me. So, with a touch of wistfulness, I'm putting out the feelers – anyone interested in carrying the torch? hashtag#ForSale

👎🏻 The life of an hashtag#entrepreneur – it glitters from afar, doesn't it? Like a rock concert under the stage lights. But trust me, backstage, it's pure rock and roll. Sweat, sleepless nights, and enough caffeine to power a small city. People only see the platinum records, the sold-out tours. They don't see the countless gigs in dive bars, the rejections, the endless hustle. The truth? Reaching your entrepreneurial shore is a long, exhilarating, and occasionally terrifying swim.

✍🏻 Forget farm-to-table, get ready for future-to-fork! My jaunt this week through Lyon's culinary delights ignited a spark –hashtag#foodtech is on the cusp of a mouthwatering revolution. My grandfather would never have imagined sizzling plant-based burgers that quench your cravings and cricket flour that'll have you chirping with delight. AI is even becoming a culinary confidante, crafting personalized nutrition plans just for you. But this feast for the senses goes beyond the plate. Building sustainable farms that minimize food waste is the ultimate goal, with e-commerce giants like Amazon and your local grocer locked in an epic grocery delivery duel. While pinpointing exact figures can be tricky, this industry's a goldmine – we're talking over $100 billion being invested annually. In this new playground I know we can count on our rock star Roberto !
