The mind behind this page

Power, Seduction, and Control.

I serve as the Digital Manager for an Indonesian fashion retail brand, where I blend digital strategy with team leadership to grow a brand rooted in authentic culture. While my day job involves marketing and execution, my true passion lies in exploring leadership, power strategy, human nature, relationships, and self-improvement — especially through the lens of quiet authority.

I believe power doesn’t need to shout to be felt. My writing dives into the subtle, often overlooked forces behind influence: restraint, reflection, and intentional action. I explore how understanding both light and dark sides of human nature can help us grow as leaders and individuals.

While my professional life is rooted in digital marketing and leadership, my personal interests reveal other dimensions of how I think and approach the world.

Martial Arts & Fitness

Muay Thai is more than a sport for me; it’s a discipline that teaches resilience, respect, and mental toughness. Combined with weightlifting, these physical practices sharpen my focus and provide a grounded counterbalance to the mental demands of work and writing.

Music

I play both guitar and piano, two instruments that offer a creative outlet and a lesson in patience and precision. Music reminds me that influence and leadership are not just about force, but about rhythm, timing, and subtlety.

Chess

Playing chess, with a current ELO rating around 1500, is an ongoing exercise in strategy, foresight, and adaptation. Each game is a small battlefield where calculation and intuition meet — skills that directly translate to leadership and life decisions.

Reading & Writing

Books have always been a constant companion, feeding my curiosity and expanding my perspective. Writing helps me clarify my thoughts, challenge my assumptions, and connect with others who are similarly curious about the deeper questions of power and human nature.

This space is for thoughtful conversation about what true leadership and power mean beyond noise — for those who believe true power lies in presence and intention, you’ll find a home here.
