Markos Arisitides Kern – No risk, no fun!

But, the thing is with busy multi-entrepreneur Markos Kern: he just does it. Fortunate enough, he has never given much to the opinion of others. He enlightened the dunes of the Sahara and the icebergs of the Antarctic. He fearlessly opened his surf school in North Korea and, with not much of a surprise, it turned out to be a success. For no less than 2,000 Euros, people booked a trip to North Korea to go surfing in his school.

Maybe you now get a better idea of what Markos Aristides Kern is up to. He combines action and clever thinking and fun. The job descriptions on the page ask for willingness to travel and fluent English as well as the desire to think out of the box. The latter, by the way, is not just an empty phrase but a way of life for Markos Aristides Kern.

The former advertiser and marketer admits that he is tired of simply winning the next pitch. He prefers to spend his time with something meaningful and aims for holistic solutions for problems of today’s society. “Don’t be shy!” is his recommendation. „Just do it!“ People love and buy his ideas and products because they are different, surprising and, above all, fun. Just like him. Meet the man. No risk, no fun.
