  • When I see a Bitcoin ATM on a small Greek island, I know it's time to exchange some hard cash into digital. Joking of course, but this can't be ignored in the debate of adopting crypto currencies. Also, I do increase my bitcoin and other investment positions with the money I save every month following a buy and hold strategy. jmks.co/makemoneyyoung Better late than never.
  • New video: Brainstorming on Skyros island. Watch on YouTube or my website, jimmakos.com Yes, that's a TRAILER! Or at least resembles one. Small steps.
  • Almost finished editing a video shot on this beautiful Greek island the past few weeks. Will be online on Wednesday on my YouTube channel. jmks.co/youtube For a very long time I've been overthinking of how I should move forward and the fresh air did the trick. This episode will be a small tribute to the small island of Skyros, although it was tough picking from some of the best footage I ever shot here. I have a solid plan in my head about the project I talked about that I will set in motion right after this. In fact I'm already doing the first tiny steps. Don't care if it flops. I'm done overthinking.
  • We went to such a remote beach, that I lived to tell the tale. Filming the experience is what makes me happy: jmks.co/whatmakesmehappy These are all frames, since I didn't take a single photo as I was too busy trying NOT to die. 😋 I'll be adding captions to each frame on Facebook. Video is coming soonish.
  • Are global recession odds rising? Can we keep up with all markets? How to fit investing in our daily routine: jmks.co/timeframes Stock markets are taking multiple hits this week due to numerous reasons, such as Hong Kong's turmoil, trade wars and weakening economic data. If we can't keep track of all this data (and we can't if that's not our job) we stand a better chance in investing by buying and holding instead of trying to time the markets. To pick bottoms and tops in other words. But how many of us can sit on our hands and investments when markets are going downhill? When panic sets in, we'd better not panic. Once again, don't do what everyone seems to be doing. Easier said than done, but this is where a plan keeps us on track.
  • Photographing strangers under a full moon. I've been taking pictures for 5 years now: jimmakos.com/photography Influencers these days may go to the extremes for a pic, although I doubt they got the best angle for this one. I got the moon in my pic, but then again photos of people outperform any other kind of photography so theirs might end up performing far better. They deserve it since I didn't swim over to the lighthouse carrying my smartphone in a bucket over the sea. True story.
  • My main workhorse for shooting video these days. For a lighter, everyday setup, check my recent video: jmks.co/everydaycamera It does look big and heavy, but it mostly sits on a tripod and I use it for my planned shots. For more run and gun situations, I revert to the lenses discussed in the link above. For instance, I'll use this setup for filming a scene where I read on the tablet at home but will change to smaller lenses and detach the monitor when we will go downtown.
  • Entrepreneurship on the go. For the quickest path to success we need to be either the best or the first in something: jmks.co/bestorfirst And it can be done from anywhere in the world with a smartphone, a laptop or a tablet (for people with failing eyesight like myself) and internet connection. And it doesn't need to take much of our time. The point is to automate most of the process and keep the cash flowing once we find a niche or a product and execute our idea. Then we look for the next business idea or educate ourselves on how to become financially independent, while we're relaxing in the shade.
  • Sunrise at the windmill all shot with a drone. Some info on my videography: jimmakos.com/videography And now for some fun fact (it isn't THAT fun). This was the second time I shot these scenes. A week ago I went to the same location and shot pretty much the same shots with the drone. When I got back home excited to watch the footage, I was devastated to find out that EVERYTHING was out of focus since I had accidentally activated the manual focus. So a reshoot was in order. Also, you can tell how windy it was by the waves hitting the shore. The drone handled it like a boss, although the message "too much wind, fly with caution, land ASAP" was on the screen all the time. As if flying the drone isn't stressful enough.
