Ugh, I hate writing bios and all that "look how awesome I am" stuff. But since it’s a must, here goes. There’s something scribbled on the Home page too, but whatever.
X-Pert
Oh, come on! Just spill it already, why the drama?
The Founder
Right, you said it, now do it. Quit stalling.

So, let’s get acquainted, my Friend.
My name is Eugene, and I’m the CEO and Founder of EGO Creative Innovations – a digital no-code boutique agency.
The Founder
Look at that, copying me now. Lost all sense of fear.
X-Pert
Hold on, don’t rush. Let the guy speak. Maybe he’ll say something smart for once.

With over 20 years of history, I've evolved from a freelancer to an 80+ outsourcing company, and then back to a cozy boutique agency that warms my heart. Quite the rollercoaster, right?
I’ve seen it all – growth, crashes, crises, bankruptcies, and all sorts of other fun stuff. But hey, it’s been fun. A bit nauseating at times, but fun, no doubt.
The Founder
So what? I see things too. Doesn’t mean much.
X-Pert
Yeah, yeah! Just joining in on the outrage for fun.

Oh yeah, I’m a designer (at heart), a developer (don’t tell real programmers), a consultant, sometimes a marketer, a lousy lawyer, an HR, an almost-project manager, a sort-of visionary, and so on.
If you’re an entrepreneur, you get it – you know a lot but understand nothing.
X-Pert
Look at you, acting all savvy. If you’re so smart, why aren’t you on the Forbes list?
The Founder
Easy, boy! It’s easy for you to talk. You finish your workday and go about your life.

I’ve done all sorts of things – invented, set up, and implemented business processes, built teams, hired, fired, opened and closed companies, even renovated the kitchen (wait, not that).
Love seeing how others do things and learning from it, and helping too – it’s fascinating.
Created and launched products. Lost count of how many I messed up, but some are still kicking. Helped clients launch their products.
X-Pert
Go ahead and tell us how to make it soar. We can screw up just fine on our own.
The Founder
Nope! Let’s hear about the screw-ups too; I don’t need to step on those rakes myself. Spill it, comrade!

Basically, this dual perspective and experience from both sides – the creator and the expert – led to the creation of this site with stories about these two obnoxious characters, The Founder and X-Pert, who share living space in my head.
X-Pert
Hey! Who are you calling obnoxious? I'm perfectly bearable. Sure, I grumble, but nobody's perfect. 🤨
The Founder
Pfff. At least he mentioned me first! 😛

Personal stuff?
I know how to hold a hammer without hitting my fingers, I can make a mean sandwich, and change a tire. I love dreaming about hiking in the mountains, but somehow I seem to have less free time than everyone else. Oh, and I love sci-fi! Zelazny, Asimov, galaxies, aliens – my brain is totally warped in that direction.
The Founder
🤮 Pathetic!
X-Pert
Fine, go ahead and read your business snooze-fest. I’m loving this.

Well, I could squeeze out more,but that’s what the Stories are for – unlearned lessons, grumblings, bloody noses, joys, complaints, “Eureka!” moments, and discoveries.
So, if I haven’t bored you to tears, hop on board – I mean, subscribe.
The Founder
Finally! How much nonsense can you spout? You gotta convert right away! Ugh... And how on earth am I supposed to live in his head?
X-Pert
It’s fine, really. What’s the problem? Did I miss something?

And really, I’m a nice and fluffy – just don’t pull my tail. 😊
