Entrepreneur, partner of digital-agency JAMI, head of automotive concierge service Alfred. He graduated from the Plekhanov Academy with a degree in "Management of investment and innovation."
What do you do in your work?
I am a partner of creative digital-agency JAMI. Actively engaged in them for five years, and is now able to move away from the OSes. JAMI dedicate a few hours a week, while remaining on the board.
I switched to a new project - automobile concierge service Alfred. This service changes the auto repair market and makes it human.
My advice to startups: do not chase the fashion history where without you very much willing to literally elbow on a narrow market with no money (chat bots, internet of things, that's all). Our country has a huge number of inefficient traditional niches that require the very dizrapta.
How does your workplace?
My main workplace is in coworking DI Telegraph on Tverskaya. Alfred sat at a separate table. I work with them.
my agency office in front, so it is very convenient to hold business meetings.
What gadgets do you use?
I'm a fan of Android. This technology and the philosophy of Android, since I do not share the approach to a closed system. Especially the integration between devices - no problem for a long time. Google and Dropbox have done their job.
For 10 years I use only as a Samsung mobile phone.
I, like many owners of Android, constantly asking: "Why is not iPhone?»
The answer is simple: choose the best of what is available today. If the laptop is the best for me - it's Apple, the best smart phones - Samsung.
In recent years he became accustomed to the smart watch. Although, frankly, both from Apple, and Samsung's this long toy that solves a small number of tasks.
What software do you use?
Best browser for me - "Yandex. Browser". I began to use it out of curiosity and a certain patriotism (he knew the guys who developed it in the team "Yandex"). But then he caught me forethought to detail and development.
Other things being equal prefer to use the product of the Russian company that makes cool stuff.
Often use "Yandex. Taxi "than Uber, I like RealtimeBoard,« Yandex. Navigator".
If the e-mail client, the Inbox. They are great to look at the revised work with e-mail, and I'm really looking forward to when they will be engaged messengers, because now we have to use different aggregators.
Without which I can not do, so it's no music. I'm with you always have headphones with active noise cancellation. Office is the Bose QuietComfort.
Music with me everywhere and totally different - from cocktail jazz to nu-disco for an evening in good company; zaboristogo of hip-hop for snowboarding or skateboarding to indie-rock for a trip behind the wheel.
Signed several music services:
- google Music (For cool collections of different directions).
- Bananastreet for e-mainstream music (with easy downloading, so you listen to in the car or airplane).
- SoundCloud (I'm a big fan of the service, where I collect cool sets. Here is my profile).
In a traffic jam trying to listen to the content. The priority of the video informative nature at TechCrunch, and YouTube. Previously, on the road listening to BFM, "Echo" and "Kommersant FM». But in the past six months declined from almost all the news (except for narrowly focused subjects), as realized that they only absorb my energy and cause to worry about the things for which I can not influence.
Is there a place in your paper work?
I kinestetik therefore never completely give up on the paper. I always carry a notebook and pen. I am writing pen for more than 10 years and I get great pleasure from this. Many of my ideas come first on paper and then transferred to the figure.
What is in your bag?
The travel is now always take a drone DJI Mavis Pro. I was presented with his friends for his birthday. It is very compact, cool and removes all very cool. The rest is in the photo.
How do you organize your time?
I try to get up early. In the morning, I do sports, spend a morning meeting at the breakfast format, at 10:30 come to the office.
My principle - is the focus on the three main things.
All that is not included in the three priorities at the moment, I try to delegate.
This works not only in terms of time expenditure, but also the mental focus. Our brain is designed so that looking for a solution of the problem, even when we do not think about it. If the task is too much, the brain disperse its efforts and creative solutions emerge less frequently.
I finish time, too, the meetings usually 21-22 pm.
What place sport occupies in your life?
Sports practiced four to six times a week. Regularly I play basketball and go to the gym. The rest - running, playing squash, swimming, acrobatics on a trampoline, a bicycle.
All this allows you to keep your brain in good condition and well think.
Appearance is also important to me. If two or three days in a row does not work out, I feel how the body requires mobility.
Also from childhood fond of extreme sports. Previously active roller-skating in the ramp, then there was a street skateboarding and snowboarding. He is riding a wakeboard and even spoke at the event, and snowboarding participated in the championship of Russia in the halfpipe.
Now Skate with jumps and tricks and wakeboarding competitions I am not so young, and to health has become a more responsible attitude. But I can not resist riding in the snowboard park (with rails and jumps). A special place in recent years takes xelibording- (skiing with a helicopter).
My second passion - surfing. This seems to be the love of your life. I try to carry out in the wake of not less than 30 days a year. I traveled a lot of places - from Hawaii to Morocco, from Costa Rica to the Canary Islands. Ocean Energy greatly affect me.
During sports I always take a camera. Then I do the video for yourself and friends.
Layfhakerstvo from Maxim Snigirova
Literature occupies a special place in my life. I try to both read and listen to. Here are a few favorite pieces.
- «Inside a tornado. development strategy, the success and survival in the market giperrastuschih"Jeffrey A. Moore. This is one of the best books about the alignment of strategy of innovative products.
- «Blue ocean strategy. How to find or create a market, free from other players"Rene Moborna and Kim Chan. Its a must-read before you look for a niche and think about something new.
- «Innovator's Dilemma. Both because of the new technologies perish strong companies"Clayton Christensen. Pretty boring book, but it clearly explains why "dinosaurs" are dying or losing position.
- «From good to great"Jim Collins. Classic.
- «The ideal leader. Why they can not become and that it follows"Isaac Adizes. Constantly evaluate employees and yourself for this methodology and identify what we lack at the moment and who is cut off.
- «You can arrange everything! How to achieve the maximum in any negotiations"Gavin Kennedy. The best book about the negotiations. After it on this subject can not read anything.
- «To hell with all of it! Beris and do!"Richard Branson. Branson is very steep. It is the only person who I wanted to get an autograph. And the book with his signature is on my shelf.
And here are a couple of books that do not fit in the previous list of business literature. Even though I read them quite a long time, they influenced me.
- «Transorfing reality. Step V: Apples fall in the sky"Vadim Zeland. This is an alternative view of what looks like the world order and delicate matter. I do not know whether it's true or not, but some of the things described there, just work.
- «ZhZhizn without panties. skill seduction"Alex Leslie. A bold alternative view of relationships with women, the motivation of both sexes, and our understanding of them.
What do you want readers Layfhakera?
Take what you like, add a common sense there, mix it all with the right timing, niches and places, season hard work and total dedication. After some time, this cocktail accurately generate steep result.
