The Hagstar brand is a visual representation of the founding moments in our lives. Each moment creates a path to the next. A collection of moments can be illustrated by the star, which defines a persons life story. And it's never straight forward, as the Star illustrates, but the idea is that one keeps moving forward. Each of us are star's in the making / works in progress and have the opportunity to shine, *IF* we can find our gift and then use it to make our contribution, the effect of which should reward you a fulfilling life. I think it is quite simple in theory, yet the world complicates things. Hagstar attempts to communicate the idea that each moment matters and that it is only when a succession of moments can be mapped, that momentum is experienced in one's life, that can drive us towards the miracles or tragedies. It's simple cause and affect, what you push in will pop out somewhere. Every action has a consequence. You can't escape the matrix. So what prevents us from finding the gift we were blessed with and therefore the purpose for our life? As children, moments that are out of our control create a false sense of reality and who we are in relationship to that reality we are experiencing. Childhood experiences can blind us from our gifts and our reason for living. The baseline for which we then build our life is off centre. Childhood moments provide the roots for a kind of lottery for our destiny, bound by generational curse, the people we are forced to interact with and the things that we are likely to consume. How important is it then to reclaim who we really are and simply ask ourselves: 'Who am heck am I?' You may currently be a fictional character based on what you think people think you are based on the relationships, places and things you were forced into by birth. Are you living second life and are you something more? It is inconceivable to think we can reach our dreams? Manifestation is the way but only 50% of it. If you focus only the end goal or apply blue sky thinking to your life, each and every day, you will almost certainly want to quit and feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the goal. Instead, visualise the grand plan BUT just take each day at a time and enjoy the process. In the end, it may not be exactly how we imagined it in our minds, hence the star shape! But isn't life also about seeing the positivity and the beauty in everything? We do great at looking back on our life with fond memories but often live the journey out, differently. Let's put more faith in the process. Remember: moments > momentum > miracles. Hagstar's brand also pays tribute to the H ero's A nd G eniuses that contributed towards each dot on my journey, combined with my inner mantra which is S tay T rue to myself, A nd to be R eady for anything. Yes, life does throw you curve-balls, but one should always dream big in all aspects of ones life. Literally jump and see how the universe comes to your rescue moment-by-moment. Set your sights on the goal, take ownership of that which was always yours -Your gift to the world - and enjoy the daily walk and all that comes your way. It's a game. It's a kind of magic! :)

I am in flow and happiest, when I can develop concepts that begin inside my own mind. I also like using my imagination to provide vision and roadmap execution to already existing companies, for the purposes of recovery, resurrection and rejuvenation. I work best on my own or intimately with founders and CEO's and i enjoy nurturing and encouraging young people to pursue their passions in life. I do have quiet confidence in the gifts I was blessed with and have somewhat successfully productised this gift at E-Man as Founder and CEO for 20 years. While I have been successful in my endeavours, I do believe I am forever a work in progress and have plenty more to do. I am very hungry and my passion is now TaleTree and our mission to save creativity in children. I have relentlessly and often recklessly, attempted to innovate. By avoiding employment, a salary or anything that could reduce my creativity to forced tasks, I have been able to live life with a sense of freedom and it has been an extraordinary journey. I have made many and am a work in progress. Hagstar represents a life of creative projects visions and ideas, comprising everything I have tried, failed, and succeed so far. This includes a stable ideas that have become real products and now actual companies that I have ownership in. I am a humble and grateful fire-starter, but I'm only just getting started. My next and possibly final stop? The Emerald Forest......
