I wasn’t just wasting time having fun though. Although it did involve a considerable amount of partying and chilling, I was meeting people from all over the world, looking for business opportunities and learning about the reality of life and business in Asia. It was a very stimulating period, and it led me to many an interesting conclusion. From such an exotic vantage I was also able to view my previous life in Poland in a different light. And what I saw filled me with a mixture of dread and relief.

As most people in a business environment, I used to be very busy, running from one encounter to the next, always late with everything and weary to the bone. I’d had no time for leisure or self-development, nor did I have energy to laugh or even simile. And as most people, I had been frighteningly unaware of what I’d been doing actually and why. I saw many redundant patterns in business, and I observed the phenomenon called bureaucracy.

It struck me: how can people spend 8 hours working and during that time create more problems for themselves to solve than do actual work? Because of my surroundings I also noted how a simple job, even if poorly paid, can make people satisfied and happy; whereas complex well-paid jobs tend to leave people burned out. And somehow with all those thoughts, came a burning desire to change that.

I decided to use all my previous experience in business, as well as my contacts with people all over the world, to do something worthwhile for a change. I believed that somehow I can bring a gust of fresh air to businesses, infusing them with energy and inspiration they lack to be able to thrive. I figured that having travelled and having found what I had lost, I can come back to my origins and share it.

Out of this desire to help, and out of the belief that I can, was born Amare Marvel. The concept in principle is simple. I seek out businesses with inspiring ideas, and I help them make those ideas reality. I help find investors, counseling, and creative solutions, and I do so by connecting them with businesspeople from around the world. I ceaselessly travel, discovering new places, meeting new people, looking for opportunities. What I achieve, I achieve by bringing people together. This is my story.
