Life is rather short to live too safely. There should always be a hint of thrill and an unending zeal to learn something new every moment. Stability often comes with stagnancy and a lack of growth. Therefore, live every moment as if there’s no tomorrow! A man who has made this mantra a part of his existence is Hans Molenkamp. While he has reached the zenith of his professional career, he has not let that slow down his zeal of triumphing professional goals. An ace entrepreneur by profession, Hans has also taken his hobbies of surfing and photography to the next level and has carved a niche for himself in every industry he laid his eyes on.

When asked how he juggles all his varied interests and balances them with his daily routine, Molenkamp said, “I categorize myself as a modern “Brand Builder”. I utilize my skills in marketing, design, photography and negotiating to build companies, athletes and personalities. Every brand seeks out higher visibility and notoriety, every athlete wants a fan following. I make sure that these goals are achieved, successfully building million-dollar companies and globally recognized athletes in the process.”
