New episode

Κάνε κάθε λεπτό να μετράει!
Εμείς όμως επειδή είμαστε άνθρωποι με πάθη και λάθη, δεν το σκεφτόμαστε συχνά. Πορευόμαστε με μια άπληστη σιγουριά ότι όλα είναι καλά και κάνεις και τίποτα δεν μπορεί να με εμποδίσει στη ζωή αυτή.
Να που δεν είναι έτσι τα πράγματα.
Να θυμάσε να δίνεις αξία σε κάθε λεπτό μέσα στην ημέρα σου. Είναι στο χέρι σου. Είναι στο χέρι μας να μην αφήνουμε στιγμή να περνάει χωρίς να την εκμεταλλευτούμε. Ο χρόνος μας εδώ εκτός από πολύτιμος είναι κα μετρημένος, γι'αυτό μιας και έχεις αρκετό χρόνο τώρα σκέψου πως θα ενεργείς όταν όλα επιστρέψουν στην "κανονικότητα".
Εάν σου φάνηκε χρήσιμο το επεισόδιο αυτό σκέψου την επόμενη φορά να το μοιραστείς με κάποιον δικό σου, να κάνεις ένα like ή ένα review σε όποια πλατφόρμα και εάν το ακούς.
Να είστε όλοι καλά και να πλένετε τα χέρια σας.

5 πράγματα που θα μάθουμε από την πανδημία!
Σίγουρα υπάρχουν ακόμα περισσότερα και θα ήθελα πολύ να τα ακούσω και να τα μοιραστείτε μαζί με όλους εμάς.
Εύχομαι να είστε όλοι καλά και ασφαλής στα σπίτια σας.
Είμαστε μαζί σε όλο αυτό.
Καλή δύναμη.
Θα περάσει.

Being part of an organizing team | Startup Weekend Thessaloniki
Το 2017 μου δόθηκε μια πολύ μεγάλη ευκαιρία και συμμετείχα για πρώτη φορά στην οργανωτική ομάδα ενός startup weekend, στην πόλη της Καβάλας. Έκτοτε είχα την τιμή να συμμετέχω στη διοργάνωση ενός startup weekend στην πόλη μου τη Θεσσαλονίκη το 2018 ενώ τέλος τον Μάρτιο θα είναι η τρίτη μου φορά στη διοργάνωση για μία ακόμη φορά στη Θεσσαλονίκη.
Νιώθω πραγματικά ευγνώμων για όλα αυτά που έμαθα, για όλους τους ανθρώπους τους οποίους γνώρισα αλλά και για όλα όσα θα έρθουν στο μέλλον.
Τον Μάρτιο λοιπόν, από 20 έως και 22 στο Ok!Thess θα πραγματοποιηθεί το startup weekend Thessaloniki για όλους όσους επιθυμούν να προσπαθήσουν για το δικό τους επιχειρείν.
Στο επεισόδιο αυτό μιλάω για τα θετικά που απόλαυσα μέσα από τη συμμετοχή μαζί με άλλα παιδιά στη δημιουργία και στήσιμο του event αυτού.

The power of journaling | An effective method of documentation
Είχα ακούσει πάρα πολλά για τις ευεργετικές ιδιότητες του journaling!
Πρόκειται ουσιαστικά για μία μέθοδο καταγραφής της καθημερινότητας, των ιδεών, σκέψεων και συναισθημάτων. Σε βοηθά να μείνεις συγκεντρωμένος σε όλα όσα είναι σημαντικά για εσένα, αρκεί να είσαι ειλικρινής με τον εαυτό σου. Δεν περίμενα ότι λειτουργεί και ήμουν επιφυλακτικός.
Με κάποιες δικές μου παραλλαγές χρησιμοποίησα και εγώ τη μέθοδο αυτή όμως και κατάφερα να ανακαλύψω πτυχές και πράγματα που δεν περίμενα ότι υπάρχουν.
Τελικά αποδείχθηκε ότι καλύτερο! Και φυσικά το συνιστώ σε όλους!
Στο επεισόδιο μίλησα και για το Startup Weekend που θα γίνει στη Θεσσαλονίκη τον Μάρτιο αυτό >> http://communities.techstars.com/greece/thessaloniki/startup-weekend/15770

Read before you think!

In 2020, we start from scratch!
This has never been a better time for me to start things over. Meaning let's start this podcast over!
From the very beginning of this year I have been consistent in publishing an episode per week.
This led me to understand to some more changes I have to make with it. Saying that this podcast is documenting my journey until I find my dream job and yet not describing anything at all about my process, is unacceptable. So, starting from now with these weekly episodes I'm gonna try and document each and every little thing I do in order to get there!
Moreover, my dream for now is to create our #cmscommunity, that means people that have and want to quit their jobs to pursue a life truly wanted! Let's dive into this episode.

Age is just a number!

Συνάντησα τους Trip Flakes!
Αναπάντεχη συνάντηση με δύο άγνωστους πρίν το τέλος του 2019. Δεν θα μπορούσε όμως να είναι καλύτερη αυτή η γνωριμία, με δυο παιδιά που ξεκίνησαν τώρα το δικό τους podcast.
Μέσα από το Trip Flakes ο Χάρης και ο Αργύρης μοιράζονται με όλους εμάς ιστορίες και στιγμές από τα ταξίδια που έχουν κάνει, μέσα από ένα πάντρεμα με ταινίες που συμάδεψαν τη ζωή τους και όλα αυτά όταν ο ένας βρίσκεται στην Αγγλία και ο άλλος στη Θεσσαλονίκη.
Δεν γινόταν το αποτέλεσμα να μην είναι καθηλωτικό.

One last huge lesson before 2020!
Hope you'll have the greatest year of your life people! Health and everything else you wish for your life. Just do it people! It's one life. Let's make this year count!

Wish I knew this earlier!
I worked for free and it felt amazing. Thank you Grekaddict.com and especially Souzana Theodoridou who gave me the opportunity, be part of her team. Had a really great time and I learnt a tone!
Truly appreciate!

Failed again on a Bootcamp at OK!Thess
Hey podcast listeners! Early this month I participated on a bootcamp, at OK!Thess! My entrepreneurial idea failed again and to be honest I was a little bit frustrated! Though, life is going on and we got things to do.
Thanks for listening!

The thing that surprised me the most this summer!
And it is not something new. It was me that didn't want to see the problem! But it does exists and we have to do something.
We are to change someone, who will encourage another one and goes on.

What a week!!
I had the best week until this time of the year! I was honored to participate with the greatest innovation ecosystem of Thessaloniki, at the International Fair of Thessaloniki. You were able to find at Pavilion 12, Stand OK!Thess!
OK!Thess is Thessaloniki’s leading startup hub and a catalyst for the growth of the local innovation ecosystem.
It helps entrepreneurs bring innovative ideas to market through an acceleration program that includes training, coaching, matchmaking with mentors and access to capital.
OK!Thess is also the place where community meetups and open events allow like-minded peers to mix and connect.
So, if you got the idea that world needs, bring it here and make it happen.

DAY - 50 Life update
So many things going on! Life is good and I got my mood to the ceiling! Hope you're doing well too.

DAY 49 - Work ethic
This is something that I've been thinking lately and I wanted to share with all of you. Work ethic does not anymore exist as we know it. Bad for us. We need to triple down on that. It is something that everybody needs to work with himself. There's no one to blame for our words and acts.

DAY 48 - Thoughts about this weekend
I'm so angry that I couldn't resist spreading this word. Cmon guys, we can be better than this and I mean it.
Resource: From ATAIRIASTOI a SKAI TV production on 14/6/2019, interviewing Anastasios Markouizos (Iaveris)

DAY 46 - How positive lives do you think we live?
By far positivity is underestimated nowadays! All around us negativity thrive and we pathetically participate on that. It's our fault and our responsibility to bring back positivity in our society. Spread the word people!
Love ya all! Stay well!

DAY 45 - My insecurities (Part One)
Excuse me for audio. For many years my biggest insecurity was my own name. Little did I know that this would be the least important in my life. Here's some more of my insecurities. Do you have any? Let's talk on IG. Waiting for all of you.

DAY 44 - Yesterday was my 28th birthday!
I would like to thank each and everyone of you all the best for your wishes. Hugs, love and hope to stay well for many years in your life! THANK YOU ALL!

DAY 43 - This was my idea for Mindspace Challenge!

No words to describe here! Listen and send me your thoughts!

DAY 39 - Why I don't have any time!
I think that this episode will resonate with most of you out there. It's true that we can't help it if we think that something seems like a great opportunity for us. But obviously we can't do everything!

DAY 38 - What's the matter with these guys?
I couldn't, I can't and I don't think I'll be able in the future to understand the way that these people behave... to themselves.! Are you really that person you think you are?

I thought that someone will find it interesting! Basic and entry level podcast equipment. Check it out.

DAY 34 - NUMBERS matter or NOT?
I've thinking about this lately and I would love to hear your thoughts. Numbers, followers, listeners matter or you think of something else? Hit me on Instagram.

DAY 33 - When no one listens to your podcast
The last episode of Creative Mind Sessions was listened only 6 times. That put me into deep thoughts.

DAY 32 - I read that GREAT book!
I really do like reading especially when the book is so awesome! Check it out!

DAY 31 - My failures!
I want to fail so much now, that you can't even imagine. Hope you'll enjoy!

DAY 30 - New Year's Resolutions!?
It's not too late to go back to your things to do list. Work, try and never give up! Love ya all!!

DAY - 29 The importance of failure
Who said that failing isn't winning? Do your thing no matter what and let others opinions outside your head!

DAY 28 - Not always in a good mood!
That make sense if you're stuck in the same mindset! Embrace the change and make the difference!

DAY 27 - Excuse me for that!
Hope, love, patience!

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Spend some time with your beloved ones! You deserve it!

DAY 25 - What would you do?
I don't think that it's binary though! Help us out!

DAY 24 - Make a living!
Be spontaneous is absolutely amazing! Though it's something called LIFE, that'a been around to remind you that you have to struggle everyday!

DAY 23 - There's two choices!
Which one are you gonna choose? Listen up!

DAY 22 - Tip of the day!
Wanted to share with all of you here. Though we should all thank Euaggelia for her thoughtful tip!

DAY 21 - Commitment
That's what will take you a step forward!

Next big stop was The Mindspark event! If you want to learn more about jump on and listen!

DAY 19 - Prioritization
Focus on the things that matter the most!

DAY 18 - That made me unbelievably happy!
This is how I started my journey. Participated in Startup Weekend Kavala as an organizing member and that gave me hope and insight!

DAY 17 - The very reason WHY do not like my job!
For me this is unbearable! That's why I need to do something on my own! Then happiness will flourish in my heart, mind and soul!
