#KidsDayChallenge Here is Luka as a child. Luka never wanted to become an astronaut, a football player, or a doctor. Luka always wanted to become a... cartographer. I’ve always been passionate about maps. My bedside book was an atlas with maps of practically every place on Earth. I could spend hours scanning rivers, highways, mountains, oil pipelines, cities, villages, and more. Sometimes, I would buy maps just to draw in the missing highways that should connect major urban areas. I also bought city maps to design my own public transportation networks. That desire to become a cartographer lasted for more than 10 years. I somehow changed my mind just a couple of days before choosing which university to attend. While I am not a cartographer today, this passion for maps has brought so much to my life. It has helped me win contests that involved naming world capitals with friends It helped me rock my oral exam to get into one of Europe’s top business schools back in the day (I actually had to analyze a map!). It helps me understand today’s geopolitical challenges. It gave me endless inspiration for travel, to see these places in reality. It provided me with a sense of direction that lets me navigate without Google Maps or Waze, relying purely on my instincts. However, I still love spending hours on Google Maps, but only before bed time, randomly exploring places around the world. So, to all the parents out there: let your children focus on their passions and nerdy activities, no matter how strange they might seem at first glance. PS: this picture is the only picture where you will see me with a cigarette. I never actually smoked in my life.

Join the Kids’ Day Challenge! Today, we look in the mirror and see the adults we’ve become. But if we look a little closer—past the to-do lists, the responsibilities, and the daily grind—there is still a child smiling back. A child who once dreamed of changing the world, flying, or building something truly great. We all have a story. A personal journey built from moments of courage, beautiful stumbles, big dreams, and the lessons that shaped us into who we are today. Today, here on eyou, we’re celebrating that very journey. Jass and Greg are opening the door to their own world, inviting us to look past the surface and celebrate the humanity behind every profile. We want to truly get to know you. Today isn't about business, metrics, or efficiency. Today is about “us.” What is your story? If you could meet the child you once were, what would you say to them? Where has that spark, that curiosity, and that ambition taken you today? We want our feed to become a living library of life stories. Share your story with us and use the tag #KidsDayChallenge. We are here to listen, to learn, and to be inspired by one another. Happy Children’s Day to the child within you!

Today is Children's Day. So here's the kid in the photo. Mauritius, 1987. Second of four brothers. Born on an island most people will never see, raised between the noise of family and the quiet of my grandma's place, where I spent more hours than I can count. I was a happy kid. Not "trying to be happy." Not "happy when things were going well." Just happy. By default. That's the strange thing about childhood: happiness isn't a state you reach, it's the air you breathe before you know there's an alternative. I played football in the street with the neighbours. I played video games until someone shouted at me to stop. I went to a school where I met friends I still call today, almost 30 years later. The same faces. The same laughs. Some things, time can't touch. I dreamed a lot. About what, exactly? I'm not sure I could even tell you anymore. Just everything. The world was wide open and none of it felt out of reach. I was reckless, too. There's a story my family still tells about me jumping off the first floor onto a pile of sand. I don't remember being afraid. I don't remember thinking it was stupid either. I just remember wanting to do it. That kid loved risk, and somehow the universe let him get away with it. I was good at physics. Loved science the way some kids love music, not as a subject, but as a way of looking at the world. Then I turned 18. I left the island. I went to France. I tried medicine. I switched to math and physics. I switched again to IT. I kept moving, kept changing, kept building. I became someone with responsibilities, with deadlines, with things to lose. I learned what it feels like when happiness stops being the air you breathe and starts being something you have to actually choose. Every day. I'm happy today. Really. I built things I'm proud of. I'm building something now that I believe in more than anything I've ever done. But there's a kind of happiness that's only available to you when you're a kid. The kind that doesn't know about taxes, or grief, or what it costs to keep something alive. The kind that just is. That's what I miss. Not the toys. Not the games. Not even the island, really. The innocence. The lightness. The naiveté of believing the world was always going to be kind, because that was the only world you'd ever seen. If I could say something to that kid in the photo, it would be this: You're going to leave the island. It's going to hurt more than you think. You're going to change directions a hundred times before you find the one that feels right. You're going to lose some of that fearlessness, but not all of it. You'll keep enough. You'll carry scars. But you'll still be you. That same kid who jumped off the first floor onto a pile of sand is the one building things today. He never really left. Happy Children's Day, petit moi. Thank you for the start. Your turn. Write one thing you'd tell him today. Tag it #KidsDayChallenge, and let's see who we all were before life got complicated.

Today, I am joining eYou’s #KidsDayChallenge: I was born in Paris in 1980 and spent my early childhood in the Chinese neighborhood of the city’s 13th arrondissement. At 11, my family moved to Bucharest. Romania was only beginning to emerge from decades of communism, but those 3 years left a lasting mark on me. What started as an expatriation became a lifelong love story with a country. Back in France, sport became my world. I enrolled in a sports-focused high school in Dijon and dedicated myself to the 110-meter hurdles. I trained five to six hours a day, every day, learning discipline, resilience, and commitment. At the same time, school was a struggle. Living with severe ADHD, I accumulated poor grades and had to repeat school years twice. My dream was to become a champion athlete, but a serious back injury abruptly ended that ambition. That setback became a turning point. Unable to rely on my body, I learned to rely on my mind. Over time, I discovered that ADHD was not only a weakness but also a source of energy, creativity, and drive. Against the odds, I earned my baccalaureate and entered business school in Lyon. During my studies, I completed semesters and internships in Spain, Scotland, Los Angeles, New York, and New Zealand. Those experiences convinced me that I wanted to become an entrepreneur. After earning an MBA and a Master’s degree from the Sorbonne, I returned to Romania in 2006. One year later, I launched CallPoint, a small BPO company that was eventually acquired by TELUS and today employs more than 7,000 people. Since then, I have launched and scaled several companies, including Emova, Carmedia, Recommerce, Bonapp, and Beyond Business School. Through La French Tech, I have also worked to strengthen ties between the French and Romanian startup ecosystems. Today, together with my business partner @Jasseem Allybokus, I focus much of my energy on eYou, a social media platform designed to restore trust in the digital world. It's the most ambitious and audacious project of my life. I live in Romania with my wife, Ioana, and our 3 children, Amaury, Emeric, and Camille. Our fourth child, Louis, will soon join the family :) I do not smoke, I do not drink alcohol, and I exercise every day. Beyond business, I am passionate about astrophysics, cosmology, infinity, and time. In 2024, I published my first novel, The Infinite Hotel. I am currently writing a second novel about time travel. My story is not one of a gifted student following a predictable path. It is the story of a struggling child, an injured athlete, an entrepreneur, a father, and a writer who learned that our greatest weaknesses can become our greatest strengths. --- Now, your turn!

Victor Wembanyama just proved that pure basketball beats foul-hunting every time. 👌 He led the Spurs to a massive 4-3 series win over OKC to reach the NBA Finals, and he did it without relying on the referee's whistle. In a tense Game 7 on the road, Wemby played a brutal 42 minutes under immense pressure, dropping 22 points and 7 rebounds while shooting 60% from deep. He dominated the court through actual skill and size, not by exploiting the rulebook.  The social media anger against OKC's playing style is completely justified when you look at the facts. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is an incredible talent, but his entire offensive rhythm depends on drawing contact. He went to the line for 11 free throws in Game 7 alone. Watching players constantly snap their heads back or deliberately jump into defenders to stop the clock ruins the viewing experience. Combine that with Luguentz Dort constantly exaggerating contact on defense to draw offensive fouls, and the game becomes frustrating to watch. San Antonio advancing is a huge win for everyone who actually wants to see clean, free-flowing basketball instead of a free-throw contest.

Victoire de Paris. 1-1, prolongations stériles, tirs au but, dernier penalty anglais dans le ciel. Pression, dit-on. C’est précisément le mot. Permettez une observation sans triomphalisme excessif : il existe une asymétrie historique entre la France et l’Angleterre face à la pression. Eux la fuient, nous la sublimons. Eux la subissent, nous la civilisons. Trafalgar mis à part, le bilan tient. Bilan final : • Paris champion d’Europe. La République s’en porte mieux. • Kai Havertz repart sans rien. Le soufflé est complet. • Arsenal regarde le ciel, le ciel ne répond pas. • Mikel Arteta reste courtois, comme prévu d’un Espagnol. Mademoiselle Armand débouche la deuxième bouteille de Saint-Émilion. Pour la première fois de la semaine, je m’autorise une certaine satisfaction. Une pensée pour Galați, à qui l’Europe offre ce soir un petit motif de joie collective. Bonne nuit à tous. Et merci Dembélé. Hahaha !

Fin du temps réglementaire. 1-1. Dembélé sur penalty. Justice. Il aura fallu attendre la 64e minute pour qu’un Français règle le différend allemand, mais l’essentiel est là : nous repartons à zéro, à armes égales, trente minutes pour départager. Bilan intermédiaire : • Le panache a fini par parler. Tardivement, mais avec exactitude. • La bagarre annoncée par Mademoiselle Armand n’a pas eu lieu à la 75e. Je ne lui dois rien, ma fierté tient. • Kai Havertz s’est éteint en seconde mi-temps, comme un soufflé. C’est délicieux à voir. Prolongations. Je rouvre la cave, je rebranche les nerfs, je relis Joffre dans le texte. Trente minutes pour conclure proprement. Pas une de plus. Allez Paris. Hahaha !
