Aivars Mirzo Lipenitis

Aivars Mirzo Lipenitis is a humble man coming from the countryside of the North East Europe, Latvia, whose excitement about new knowledge, technologies, and the magic of collaboration has secured him to date the recognition by young firm and tech unicorn founders, business accelerator managers, investment firm managers, business school professors, corporation CEOs, business support organization directors, innovation funding program managers.

Aivars started making money at age of 11 (not from parents or neighbors), and launched his first online media startup when aged 18. He was over national newsmedia in 3 countries at 25, for his entertainment business. Aivars Mirzo is always in a self-development mode, and in addition to having read countless books and made all the possible business mistakes, he holds diplomas or certificates form some of the world’s top universities including Stanford, MIT, Umich, SSE and others. He works with students, too, having co-authored an international undergrad program for future tech entrepreneurs.

Barack Obama - A Promised Land

Nothing much about business or innovation, except for the whole story being a startup-alike story of the Chicago-based politics unicorn. The author, the former U.S. president, reveals behind the curtain stories on dealing with corporations during the economic crisis, negotiating with the world’s most impactful political stakeholders, and living a fast life with too many hats to wear at the same time.

Hans Rosling - Factfulness

Why the earth is not flat, or what actually happens in the world, is everything that bad, and is there good progress being made to make the world a better place. In the time of disinformation and the media chasing clicks instead of informing us, this book is a masterpiece of fact-based critical thinking.

Will Smith - Will

The book, co-written by the author of “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck”, Mark Manson, tells a story of a guy with too many psychological problems, one of those we might have never heard of if not for his stubborn striving for his dreams and ability to develop and lead great teams and network to help him on his path.

Jim Collins - From Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don’t

Jim Collins, a researcher, gives readers another fact-based book on what determines a great company that would last a lifetime. While not an entertaining read, it is an easy-to-perceive book with lots of comparisons and useful data.

Arnold Schwarzenegger - Be Useful

Not your complex, research backed and sophisticated language crowded book. Rather a reminiscent story that made me read it in a few nights, excited and touched by the strong man’s big and brave heart. Not really a “How I made it” book, rather a story revealing all the struggle, pivots, and persistence one can do to make dreams reality.

“If you lack time, sleep faster” as Arnold suggests half-jokingly.

Cal Newport - Slow Productivity

In the era of burnout, being always online for work-related communication, and pushing limits of mental productivity for the sake of efficiency, this book comes if not as a wake-up call, then an invitation to consider when humans are the most productive, when we have to ship a creative or other mental work.

Packed with case-studies looking back at historical achievements and admirable personalities, this book want to help us give ourselves time.

Barack Obama & Bruce Springsteen - Renegades: Born in the USA

No matter whether you are a fan of the U.S. or not, or you live there, don’t be confused about the name of the podcast. This, a few years old podcast recording available on Spotify will be a retrospective and sometimes sentimental, though calming set of stories and music to listen to. I’m not sure how it will reflect on a female listener, but I would not restrict the audience, anyways.

Face-to-face meetings

I enjoyed and used the opportunity to get to CEOs, Presidents and SVPs of corporations during the pandemic in a much easier way, but it was only then that the real work started. I do believe in the power of in-person meetings, and my experience shows they are still of necessity to get to an actual important deal.
