I’m a healthcare management consultant from Stockholm, Sweden, and last year I decided to relocate to Málaga, Spain. After many years working with hospitals and medical startups across Northern Europe, I wanted to continue my consulting work in a place that values quality of life just as much as professional growth.

I’ve been freelancing as a content strategist for years, moving between countries and short-term rentals. Eventually, I got tired of constant relocations and wanted a base where I could actually settle down. Dubai turned out to be that place.

I visited first as a tourist, then came back with a clearer plan. Since my income is fully online, relocating was mostly about visas and housing. I found my apartment through https://dubai-real.estate/ while still abroad. The platform made it easy to compare neighborhoods and understand what fit my budget and lifestyle.

Now I’ve been living here for almost a year, working remotely, building a routine, and enjoying the feeling of having a permanent home again. For anyone in a digital profession looking…

Driving Public Health Through Innovation and Accessibility in the India Contraceptive Product Space

Hello! We have decided to sell our 2023 Laumetris Hempcutter as we are transitioning to the grain side of hemp. This is a proven platform that we have used for ourselves on our fields and we have custom cut hundreds of acres across the Midwest. This machine is in pristine condition and includes a comprehensive spare parts kit. There is no hemp stand that this machine cannot conquer. This machine comes out of Europe and there are limited units in North America. If you are looking to step into a serious cutting platform or have an interest in doing custom cutting this is the reliable standard. Others have tried to replicate it, but have fallen short. I will be happy to demo, show in person and send pictures. Asking $105,000.00. Will deliver with a 100 mile radius or further plus delivery fee. Call/Text Mike at 630-346-0680 or email me at…

Let’s talk about real-world examples, red flags, and how we can build better agreements together.

At the U.S. Hemp Building Association, we believe integrity begins with accountability. And that starts with clear, written contracts that define roles, protect everyone involved, and uphold professional standards across our growing industry.

But let’s get specific.

What does a good contract look like to you?

• What must it include?

• What language or clauses have protected you (or burned you)?
