Summary

Primary focus: coaching young parents to transform side hustles into sustainable main businesses, with emphasis on lead generation, early-stage growth, Shopify store profitability, and overcoming bottlenecks in scaling; this is my main thing.
Experienced Agile practitioner and coach who builds resources for other Scrum Masters — Simon runs the Scrum Master Careers podcast and site, has worked as a Scrum Master and team coach in financial and enterprise technology organisations, and contributes coaching/teaching content to help Scrum Masters expand beyond meeting facilitation into mindset and team development. scrummastercareers+2
Cold‑training entrepreneur and community builder — Simon founded the Swiss Cold Training Association and created Enter The Cold to publish practical guidance, run events and make cold showers and safe cold exposure more accessible. He combines coaching and content to grow participation (events, training, online challenges). swisscoldtraining+2
Creator and communicator — Simon publishes articles, hosts a podcast interviewing Scrum practitioners, and produces video content (YouTube) to teach practical cold‑training methods and to scale coaching reach. spotify+2
