As an Aries and a “let’s just go for it” kind of extrovert, I’ve noticed a funny trend lately: many men in business seem to freeze when it’s time to make a decision. 🤭
  
Now it’s all about consulting ten advisors, an astrologer, a psychologist, and probably even a urologist — just to decide what to do next in business. 

And then comes the best part: they ask their wife, who, with common sense and intuition, simply says, “Yes, do it” or “No, don’t.” That’s it. Decision made. Wisdom delivered.  

No wonder there are more and more female leaders, entrepreneurs, and politicians stepping up — they decide fast and move with clarity.  

Gentlemen, maybe it’s time to, hmm... speed up your internal processors a bit? 😉  

Get a lesson from the women around you — smart, bold, and elegantly decisive. Otherwise, you risk staying on the sidelines of history. 👊

P.S. My Queen Victoria Zantmane while supporting our best friend Regina Rudakova  on awards ceremony last night ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Sending love 💖 and happiness. Have a blessed weekend

We often talk business and partnerships on LinkedIn, but today I celebrate my true partner: my wife Victoria Zantmane 

Many years ago on November 2️⃣8️⃣, she said “Yes” 🙏 and kept saying it through toughest moments, sweetest wins, as my advisor, business assistant, General Manager, and even an investor in my craziest projects.

The strongest co-founder is often at home, holding it all together. Thank you for being mine.

Love you to the moon and beyond. 🌙❤️

Happy Birthday, Steve Dennis  🤟

You’re as arrogant as a Premier League striker, but somehow everyone still loves you mate 🫶. 

You’re always full of humor so naturally we just adore you. Car Rental wouldn’t be the same without your charming mix of self-confidence and actual kindness. Have a legendary day bro! 👊👊👊

After another meeting - packed World Travel Market (WTM) London, it really hit me how much the car rental industry is built on real human expertise not just technology by itself and let's face it, some incredible characters running the show. 

I just saw another razor-sharp, data-driven insight from Michael J. Trenkwalder this morning and as usual, his German precision and unarguable forecasts kindly left me no opportunity to argue 😉. 

Kudos, Michael! 👊 Always a highlight having our rare but classic debates on car rental trends. Numbers don’t lie but the people behind them definitely make the industry what it is!

He’s not here to flirt, he’s here to help you finish rental process faster than a playboy finishes a photoshoot. Don’t forget to wish him a Happy Birthday 😉👊

Happy Birthday, Kenneth Pohl 💥
  
Your nordic charisma and endless energy, combined with your nonstop networking, have filled the whole rental market so completely that competitors are left with nothing but front row seats to your show.

Keep on rolling like a champ 👊

Happy Birthday, Catriel Aubone 🚘⁩ 👊

May your life be as stable as a bug‑free release of Rently 10.0 , your mood as high as your server uptime, and your inbox full of new bookings instead of support tickets. May every new client read the manual, every integration work on the first try, and every “small change” from partners magically deploy itself while you relax with a good asado and a glass of wine.

In car rental, “business as usual” is already broken 💔

By 2035 (my guess it’s going to happen much faster), 75% of all car rentals are forecast to be booked via digital channels, driven by demand for hassle-free, self-service journeys and full digital ecosystems – not paper contracts at a counter‼️

We already compressed a decade of digital adoption into one year during COVID, and customers aren’t going back: they now expect Amazon-level simplicity at every step of their travel journey.  

At the same time, AI is no longer a “nice to have” toy. In travel and services, AI-driven customer journeys have shown up to 59% lower churn and massive boosts in satisfaction when every interaction is personalized and proactive 👉ℹ️ McKinsey & Company 

So my hypothesis is simple:

🆘 Only those car rental players who automate the full CJM, go fully digital, and make AI part of the daily routine will survive.
Everyone else will slowly become “just another offline supplier” in a world that books, compares, verifies ID, signs contracts and gets support… entirely in apps.

I’m building exactly this stack now — RMS + distribution + AI agents and happy to talk with anyone in the industry who is ready to move from “rental counter” to “always-on digital journey.”

When you know how to trick your friends with a candy 🍬🤣

A fun recap from World Travel Market (WTM) London. We challenged some of our partners and customers to try a true Swedish classic, Djungelvrål (salty licorice).

Thanks for taking part in this challenge and making it so much fun! 😂

Champagne DECIBEL

For years it has been shown that vibrations, including sound waves - and therefore music - affect many living beings. Among them are the yeasts, responsible for the fermentation of Champagne and the creation of its carbon dioxide (bubbles) inside the bottles. After several years of studies and research, we decided to experiment with loudspeakers in some cellars in the French region of Champagne, to create a unique drink in the world: a Champagne fermented with music, thus altering the physical behavior of its bubbles, making them finer and more dynamic in the mouth, and musically paired for every occasion. Being an innovation project founded on solid scientific bases and enormous creativity, the project was endorsed by prestigious sommeliers and finally accepted and validated by the Champagne Wine Interprofessional Committee (CIVC), the regulatory body of the Protected Designation of Origin "CHAMPAGNE "
