"One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple."
Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums.
Welcome to Unbounded.
Unbounded is my space where I share thoughts, ideas, advice, and much more without the constraints of traditional labels or categories.
This is my small digital mancave, a cosy corner of the internet where I can express myself freely and share my experiences and insights with you.
It's where I express myself freely on the internet.
If you like what I like, you're free to follow along.
First things.
Who am I?
I am Daniel, but you can call me BigDan.
As a healthcare professional specialising in critical care nursing, I love what I do and still practice actively, allowing me to share my firsthand experiences and insights in my writing.
My passion for writing, leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology is the driving force behind my work.
My love for writing inspired me to start a healthcare media brand, Care City Media, dedicated to inspiring leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship among healthcare professionals. My love for technology inspired me to start building Carecode Digital Health Hub, which is dedicated to exposing healthcare professionals to the realities of digital technologies.
These two projects are my major works at the moment.
What started as a passion project has now evolved into a significant venture, a testament to the potential of our ideas.
Over the past few years, I have been working to build them into actual companies and brands, and I am pleased with the work that has gone into them so far.
There's still a lot to do.
A lot, and I am sure that soon, the real value of those brands will begin to surface.
It hasn't been easy.
To be honest.
There have been periods when I didn't do anything with them.
Just left them sleeping on the shelf.
There were times when I started chasing them actively and tried to put teams together, only to be dragged down by the teams' lack of enthusiasm.
Overall, I have managed to get them to where they are, and I have a very solid vision for their future.
Here on Unbounded, I have been sharing my experiences building those brands—my wins, challenges, failures, mistakes, and methods.
You'll find all the lessons I have learned here through articles and essays.
Every week (sometimes more frequently), I share ideas from the world of technology, entrepreneurship, culture and healthcare with my community. It's an avenue for me to learn, share and connect.
Here, you'll find intelligent and concise commentary, discussions, thoughts, and opinions about noteworthy occurrences in technology, entrepreneurship, culture and healthcare.
You'll also enjoy thought leadership, access to innovation, entrepreneurship, wisdom, and resources to make you a better person.
It's my small circle of smart people who want to be at the forefront and always challenge themselves to become the best.
Everything I share here is pure stuff and mainly from my experience as a father, husband, leader, entrepreneur and healthcare professional.
I don't feel comfortable labelling or tagging 'Unbounded' the way those self-help or self-development gurus teach people to tag, label, or name their information products.
I am no guru or big expert.
While I have expertise and skills as a leader and entrepreneur, I'm just like you, always seeking ways to improve. I take pride in our shared belief in community and learning together.
So, I can't promise you that you'll become as rich as Elon Musk if you read Unbounded (I wish I could).
But I assure you that you'll get pure inspiration here and become a wise person, which is even better than money.
You'll get the inspiration you need to become and do more.
Growth is not a dash.
It's a marathon.
It's an everyday business, and I am here to walk with you.
Motivation and inspiration are like food or water; we need them daily. Yesterday's inspiration or motivation isn't enough for today. Inspiration has to be fresh!
As I mentioned earlier, my interests include:
Technology: Especially how technology is transforming healthcare delivery with a focus on Africa. I am also interested in the broader scope of the influence of technology on our world—artificial intelligence, big data, social media, digital tech, quantum computing, you name it, all fall within my scope of interest.
Entrepreneurship: Entrepreneurship is the energy that keeps the wheel of innovation moving. I love entrepreneurship, and I write about it all the time. Here, we'll explore the world of entrepreneurship and leadership together. I will share thoughts, research, ideas, resources and more about entrepreneurship with you.
Culture: How we live and interact with the people around us and our immediate environment. Our relationships, what make us different and unique. I explore cultural topics here on Unbounded. Topics that will make you think and inspire you to find out more about yourself and the people of the world. Some politics and international relationships. Exciting!
Healthcare: I explore every area of healthcare. From wellbeing, medical and nursing care and how to exercise, eat properly and care for your mental health, drawing from my experience as a healthcare professional.
My writings will revolve around these themes mainly.
However, there may be times when I will discuss other related issues here.
Yes! That's a big welcome to Unbounded!
I am happy to have you here! There's a lot we can learn together.
If you're new, please subscribe, and if you know someone who would enjoy it, please share.
The more, the merrier!
