I'm excited to bring you a conversation with Haraldur Thorleifsson, or Halli, for short. I met up with Halli at Kinference in Brooklyn, and he was gracious enough to give me some of his time. We recorded this in the venue during the conference happy hour, so please bear with us as there's going to be a lot of noise. Halli is an entrepreneur, creative design leader, and musician from Reykjavik, Iceland. He previously founded and led UENO. Currently, he is building 1000 ramps in Iceland, releasing music under the name Önnu Jónu Son and just launched his restaurant, bar, and mini theater Anna Jóna. We spoke for a short period of time during the happy hour of the first day of Kinference in Brooklyn. We talked about his experience being a recovering alcoholic, and cover some meaningful stories about what drives him and what projects he is focusing on next.

I have another fantastic interview to share with you this month. This time around it's with Haraldur Thorleifsson or “Halli”, as he likes to be called. Halli was born and raised in Iceland and has achieved some incredible things, such as building a successful design company and selling it to Twitter. In 2022, he was named Person of the Year in Iceland, was awarded the Order of the Falcon (the highest honor one can receive in the country), and he has lived in many cool places around the world. You can learn more about his accolades on his personal website. Ramp Up Iceland – Increasing Wheelchair Accessibility in the Country While I find all those things to be interesting, what intrigued me the most is the work that Halli is doing to provide ramp access across Iceland for those who are in wheelchairs, have a stroller, or just find that a ramp is easier for them to walk up than stairs. The project is called Ramp Up Iceland or Römpum Upp Ísland. For updates about the project in English, click here. During the interview, Halli and I talk about all of this and the fact that he has muscular dystrophy. The CDC describes muscular dystrophy as, a group of muscle diseases caused by mutations in a person's genes. Over time, muscle weakness decreases mobility, making everyday tasks difficult." Please note that this interview was conducted in Halli's apartment in February 2023 so the sound quality will be different than what you hear right now. Also, this interview was recorded before Halli and Elon Musk had a huge argument on Twitter. During the back and forth, Elon embarrassed himself and eventually had to apologize to Halli. If you use Twitter, I highly recommend following Halli there. He is very active on that channel and shares quite a bit. Follow Halli on Twitter Twitter

1-La gaffe di troppo. Elon Musk chiede scusa dopo aver licenziato e deriso pubblicamente un dipendente che soffre di distrofia muscolare.

Con una lettera aperta 80 deputati democratici chiedono a Joe Biden di prendere le distanze dalla riforma giustizia di Netanyahu. ( Roberto Festa) 3-Georgia. Dopo due giorni di proteste il Parlamento ha annunciato la revoca della legge sugli 'agenti stranieri'. 4-Libano. Le banche non hanno più liquidità in valuta straniera.

( Angelo Miotto) 6-World Music. Dall'Algeria “ amazigh freedom rock 1973 – 1983” la compilation el gruppo rock berbero les Abranis. (Marcello Lorrai)

The National Party wants a banking inquiry...,or do they? Seems that the "party of business" wanting to now reign in business are moving to the left...or are they? Or is it just a popular position that they are giving lip service to an idea that the public want...but they do not. The shit show at Twitter continues as people are fired without notice, then can't find out as is evident with Icelandic employee Haraldur Thorleifsson who had to talk to Musk over Twitter to find out if he was still employed. There are calls for the Australian Project cancelled due to a joke told by comedian Rueben Kaye. We'll look at it tonight and see what all the hub bub is about.
