Octaland – Jarle Thorsen, members interview

Octaland Inside View

Each week, the reward program attached to Octaland lets you in on the lives of some of our most valued members, and this week Jarle Thorsen has given us an hour of his valuable time to get to know him a little better!

Jarle has been on the Octaland project since day one and has contributed enormously in the marketing and the social networking aspect of the business.
Jarle is a self made business man, and a very hard one at that! He successfully runs his global activities from his head office in Cyprus, and introduced to Octaland many new members using his own Social network and many of his Personal relationships.
People trust him, appreciate his loyalty, and are inspired by his wisdom and drive to succeed.

So here we go, interview with Jarle Thorsen:

Jarle, why you and Octaland? 
Octaland is an “Opportunity Community”. It is driven by the community of its members, a strong network concept and a joint success of hard working people. The spirit of the “Opportunity Platform” which I brought to this is a great contributor and really makes a difference, that much is clear. I was involved with a good friend in the discussions from day one, and as co-founder of Octaland I fell in love with the concept immediately. I have my own company, and I know how hard it is to grow a good solid sustainable business and especially a network of people. Solid people you can build a business on. Who are in it for the success and not just to come and do a nine-to-five job and go home with a salary. This business is 24/7, 365 days a year. That is how our global economy works and I am proud to be in that ! I proud with the set-up of this business, I immediately used my personal network and relationships  to help it grow. That´s important you know, quick growth in a business like this, and now with Octaland just being announced it is more exciting than ever!

Of course, you must be super busy, how do you divide your time between your activities and your home in Cyprus ? Well the great thing about Octaland and the reward program is, you can continue with your work and daily life as normal, as everything is on-line, and can be accessed from any country. We already have members in more than 185 countries so it is impossible to be everywhere anyway. Yes, I do travel a lot and am always on the move, as long as I have my laptop and my smartphone, I am there. And to be honest, these guys have this under control so well, you don’t need to check your account every 2 minutes. Monday´s the only day I log on to check, because Monday is Payday! All other days is just plain hard work.

Haha, yes, we heard about this famous Monday-payday thing. Is it working for you so far?
Working? It is more than working for me, it is making it for me! Of course it helps I have such a large network of likeminded people who I could introduce to the Octaland reward program, and every Monday we “tease” each other a little on what our rewards are, and who´s got the most. It’s real fun! And what is even the most important of all if I compare, it works for everyone in the club. Monday is payday for everyone, without exception. Everyone shares in the profits and the weekly results of the program!

What do you mean by compare, you would always be the winner right? You introduced all the others, isn´t that how it works?
No, not at all, that’s why this system is so amazing! To be honest, I have not been top of the list for ages! My people are making more money than me! Some even a lot more. And they deserve it because they work really hard for it and they get the results. I guess I need to review my tactics a bit!

So what does Jarle do when he is not making a load of money?
You mean in my spare time? I’m not sure there such a thing. Where can I buy some? Haha… no seriously, I have some very beautiful and amazing children who I love being with. They are so smart, much smarter than me! I was not exactly the shining star in school but I have always been working very hard, and had the opportunity to work with a lot of bright people from whom I could learn and many even became friends. So any time I get free, I spend with my family and friends. That´s all you need in the end right? Money can buy a lot of things, but it can not buy you friendship and love that you get from having a family and your friends around.
We often go on daytrips with the family, explore cities, and really get behind the history of a place. I love that stuff, and would do that every day if I could.
I am also the co-producer of a song for the daughter a friend of mine, Josie “we care we share“.  The guitar player actually wrote the tune, and I named the song to the tile “We Care We Share”.
I am also involved in several charity initiatives. I believe fundamentally that everyone has a responsibility to make the world a better place, no matter how big or small your contribution is. But more about that later, or we keep going on for hours here.

Ah, so there´s a softer side to Jarle too! Not just the hard businessman he portrays to be?
Oh, don´t get me wrong, you do not want to get on my bad side, but yes, I am very much a softy at heart. I love helping my friends out, and solving problems for my family and close relatives. I also support many national and international charities, not just by donating money, but actively getting involved. I once grew a massive beard for charity, my wife and kids were not too pleased, but it was a lot of fun! I am pleased that´s over now though, It looked like the right thing to do!

Well, we hear you are a busy man, and we will not keep you any longer. Any words of wisdom to part with? 
Believe in yourself even if others don´t. If you have passion for something, you can make it work. Don’t get discouraged by other people’s opinions. And no matter what you decide, action means you have decided, and action means work, hard work to make things happen. No matter what it is you engage in, you need to be willing to commit to hard work. That´s what I teach my kids and what I live by, and that is also what brought me my success. It is a tough world, but if you remember who is close to you and what values and opinions matter the most, you will make a great success of whatever your venture is.

Thank you Jarle for your time, and I hope the readers found it interesting to hear from such an important member of Octaland.
If you wish for Octaland to interview you in next month’s issue, please don´t hesitate to let us know, we love to hear your story too!

How do you make money without lifting a finger…for real?

Octacoin vs Onecoin

You have decided you want to trade in cryptocurrency, and why shouldn´t you? There are millions of people who made a lot of money out of them, why shouldn´t you be entitled to a slice of this massive virtual pie? So you need to choose a good digital currency to invest in, but which one do you choose?

Crypto888 scam?

You probably heard the horror stories involving cryptocurrency scams, ponzie schemes, a currency starting up and crashing just a couple of months later and so on. It is a terrifying idea knowing your hard earned money stuffs the pockets of some clever conmen who can’t be prosecuted because no one knows who they are, where they live; and cannot be prosecuted because frankly, it is an unregulated business, and no one is checking on this type of business.

Bit coin has been around for the longest time, and is currently the most well known crypto currency out there. It started off with a value of just 0,0015 cent and became a real currency when, for 10.000 bitcoins, someone bought 2 pizzas. At that time that was about 25$ worth. The bitcoin became worth more and more over the next couple of months…years…. To a point where they were worth over 600€ per bitcoin at some point! Imagine being that pizza guy!! His 10.000 bitcoins would have been worth quite a lot more than he could have ever imagined! Even today at around 260 that pizza would have costed around 2,6 Million$ !

The bitcoin has settled down a bit by now and it is worth around 260€ at the time of writing according to their coindesk: http://www.coindesk.com/price/

Since the bitcoin, over 300 other crypto currencies have popped up, and the great thing about every crypto currency that just starts up… anything is possible, and just like on the stock market, where you invest in something new and exciting… there´s a possibility you can walk away with a lot of money!

Onecoin has been around for some time now as well, so it has had its peaks, and is pretty steadied out right now. It would be a safe bet, but you might as well leave your money at the bank then… nothing exciting to see there!!! And especially not return, even negative interests are popping up in many discussion when talking about banks and their interest rates. However, putting your money on Octacoin, then now you are in for a treat!! It is one of the newer cryptocurrencies out there (started mining just as recent as a couple of weeks ago) with 1100 blockchains mined so far, and a limit of 39 million coins, they have quite some way to go yet, so right now as you can imagine you will get them for a super low price!! How can you get your hands on some of these shiny new Octacoins? Read all about it here as that is a privilege reserved only for a selected few, and if you want in, you need to be quick!

So if you have a bit of money stashed away, and are ready to make a bit of an investment instead of keeping it in the bank and getting nothing, then look into Octacoin now, before they are available for the general public and get in there before millions of others get the same idea, you will be in for a treat, and might feel like the pizza guy who we mentioned in the beginning of the story, you might get a bigger slice of the pizza than you would have ever imagined!

What is Octacoin and why you should get in now!

What is digital currency exactly?

The answer to that is simple: Digital currency is an amazing investment opportunity, but you got to choose the right one and be in as early as possible! Keep reading to get a better understanding of digital currencies, cryptocurrencies, octacoin and more.

Cryptocoins have been around for years now, but have only in the most recent years become more talked about and understood. You might have heard of bitcoin, onecoin, robocoin and octacoin. Octacoin is one of the over 600 crypto currencies out there, and one to keep your eye on in the next coming months.

So far it has been open for miners for the last weeks, and 1100 blocks have been “harvested”. It has a while to go though, as the octacoin has a limit of 39 million Octacoins, so you want to get in there soon if you want to make any money fast!

The thing is though…. Octacoin is not available for purchase just yet!!
I hear you think…
OMG how exciting is that!! How do I get my hands on these mysterious Octacoins you speak of?

Well let me let you in on a little secret. There´s a members club called “crypto888” their web site is Crypto888.asia and here you will find all their information, but in short… it is a members club where you pay a certain amount as investment (starting from just 150€) this money gets converted to chips, and with these chips you enter into a massive betting pool. There´s over 60.000 members and it is growing every week with approximately1000 members each week, so you can imagine the potential. You can also request more information at Crypto888.asia.

Investing in Octacoin & Crypto888

Each week, your chips are being used by professional gamblers in casinos and online casinos, on sports arbitrage, the stock market, real estate investments and energy; and each week you will see a return on your money. EACH WEEK! Members have enjoyed a return of an average of 10,5% on their money EVERY WEEK for the last 15 weeks, and with the club growing so fast, the return on the investment becomes stronger by the day.

Some of the profits you make will go into the next week´s pool of betting (50% of your profits) the other 50% is divided in 2 payouts. 60% can be taken out in cash the very next day, and the other 40% will go towards your club account.

Right, so what does that mean?

So say you have a 5050€ account, you would have 5000 chips. At the end of the week, the total profit is divided by the amount of chips out there, and this gives you your value per chip.

Say the value per chip is 0,10€, then your profit is 60% of 500€. (so that´s 300€) The other 40% will be invested in the mining of Octacoins (we´ll get to that later… just stick with me here!) so, your profit is 60% of 500€, that´s 300€ for you!! Of this 300€ 50% will go to replay. 150€ in chips means you have an additional 75 chips and that means that now you have 575 chips instead of 500 for the following week.

The other 150€ is divided in a 60% part and a 40% part. The 60% part is your cash payout. That´s it. 60% of 150€ (90€) can be drawn out after week 1. All yours to spend on whatever you want. The other 60€ is in a mandatory account to use in the webshop of the system. There you go., you made 150€ in 1 week!

90€ can be transferred to your account, or you can apply for a company card and use it to pay for goods in any shop where you would normally pay with Mastercard. So 90€ and 60€ is a total of 150€. That´s what you made in week 1! 150€ on an investment of just 5000€!!! You can use the money in your club account to buy gift vouchers to open accounts for your friends, or you can of course buy more chips! You can also use the money in your club account to purchase Octacoins, you can read about this process here later.

Let´s get back to our calculations…

So after week 1, you have made 90€ in cash and you now have 60€ in your club account and you now have your original chips, plus you have received additional chips from your last winnings, so instead of playing with 5000 chips like in week 1, you are now playing with 5075 chips, so your stakes are higher next week, and the week after and the week after…. You see… your chips will only get more, and your winnings will only get higher!

There are many more ways to make money with crypto888, there´s extra bonuses such as the MLM bonus if you bring in more friends, there´s a bonus if your accounts has 6 paid profiles under it, and don´t forget your Octacoins! They will be worth a lot of money once they are available to purchase, and since you reserved them at a really low price right in the beginning of the mining process, you are in for a lovely nest egg within just a couple of months!

Now if the above makes your head hurt… as it did mine just writing it down! There are several videos on the site crypto888 that explain it pretty well too.

So there you go. Get in now ! The earlier in this cycle the better and the higher the short term AND long term profit. Well I imagine the above will have explained that quite well, and if that hasn´t tickled your fancy, then perhaps you are better off leaving your money at the bank with a safe 1% or even zero return, but the same risk margin; because let’s face it, banks are banks, the only difference is, the big man at the top will cash in on your wealth, whereas with Crypto888 you get a huge chunk of that payout paid directly to you!

How do you make money without lifting a finger…for real?

We have all Googled it… go on, admit it! How to make money online, how do I make quick money, and the ever so popular, how to get rich fast!
And what came up? You either need to actually do a lot of work (boring!!) or you are being scammed out of your money by only glimpsing at another ponzi scheme web site. So how do you distinguish the good from the evil? And how do you spend the least money for the best returns?

How do you make money online?

Well, I was given the task in the office to choose one, and spend a bit of money to see if I really could make money without doing anything. (yes, I do have the best job in the world) And I had a budget (yes, I was slightly disappointed at that one too!) with the given task, to investigate the “how do you make money online without doing anything” Golden Google Question.

There were many blogs advertising to enter into surveys, watch adds, write blogs (hey ho!! Been there, done that,!!) but, all of them involved having to do actual work, and I wanted to do nothing… zilch… nada… zero… not even a little bit. So soon my searches came across investment sites, pyramid schemes and online betting sites. All very welcoming (to my money more than me personally I get the strong feeling) and if I had to believe their sales pitch, I would make huge amounts of cash in just seconds!

Very tempting, especially if you are playing with someone else´s money, but I had to focus, there had to be something out there worth paying my mere 1500€ budget to, yes, my boss is a very generous man indeed! I soldiered on to find that golden opportunity to get free money by just sitting on my pert bottom.

I then decided it would be a good idea to check out the online investment sites, but stumbled upon a major issue – I know nothing about investments, betting, gambling, the financial market or crypto currency, which is what most of the sites advised I should invest my money in.
I tried, I honestly did, but after a couple of minutes on each site, the jargon started to jumble in front of my eyes, and I seriously had no idea what I was doing.

That´s when I came across crypto888.club

It is a relatively new online members club where a member (by invitation only) joins the club and buys a membership package starting at 150€ and going up to different levels. The lowest levels can be paid with credit card, but the higher packs can only be paid with bank transfer. That made me feel a lot more secure since now it is all traceable.

Once your money has been received, it gets converted to online chips, which will be used for professional betting and investments. You needed to know nothing about online betting, and no worries if you are useless in the stock market, it is all taken care of by the professionals that are employed by the club who actually know what they are doing because, well… it´s their job!

Interesting? Damn right!!
I have 1500€, so I have plenty, but don´t forget, it is invitation only, so how do I get in?
Luckily, I could sit through a video (very entertaining, and no work required apart from finding my headphones in the bottom drawer of my desk and having to call IT to ask where to plug them in on my fancy apple screen… don´t ask!) and fill out an application, which I did and then waited patiently until I got accepted as new member of the club. As my luck would have it, I was accepted (I wonder if my profile image has anything to do with that, I did make sure my pert bottom was fully appreciated in the shot!) and bought a package worth 1050€ which converted my research money into chips, 800 of them to be precise. A good starting point !

Now all I had to do was sit back and relax, and let the money come to me!

Wait… seriously? That simple? I hear you think… “where is this site you speak of, tell me now mortal!”
I hear you, and indeed, it was that simple!

I deposited my money using a bank transfer, and my chips were used from the week after by professional gamblers to use in online bets, sports arbitrage, investments in energy, real estate and generally stocks that they know will do well for their members, but they also invest in crypto currency. Now there is a word I used in my previous blog on what are the best crypto currencies around, and let me tell you, I happen to know that online currencies are seriously making a mint at the moment. Even banks are starting to accept cryptocurrency. And a large number of merchants accept is as payment mechanism. The pros int he market say that 10 years from now, the world will be ruled by cryptocurrency instead of paper money. The dollar, euro, yen, etc … will all have some strong competitors in the digital currency.

I waited a week, and on Monday at lunchtime I had to come back and check my account. And there you have it, I made a staggering 80€ that week, for doing absolutely nothing…nada…niet..zip…zero…, totally zero energy went into this project, and there I was, walking away with a cool 80€.

The thought of course did cross my mind, what if I had invested a 10 fold of that, or even a 50 fold? Oh my god, what would that have come to?! Tempting as it is, my salary does not allow me to make those kind of investments, or even have those kind of thoughts, but if it did… that´s like… how much money would I have really made?

Now the thing about my winnings was, I needed to invest 50% of that back into “replay” so I would have more chips to play with the following week without having to fork out any more money! So 80€ became 40€ which is mine to decide what I do with it. To spend on whatever I wanted, after just 1 week! Holy cr…. And I have seen some fabulous new shoes …. well you know, I am not even going to go there in my thoughts!

I could also decide to purchase more chips, vouchers for friends or just sit on it and save up for a bigger package with even more chips.

Now all of the above can look a bit complicated, but the bottom line is, I invested just over 1000€, and within 1 week, I received money in cash! And that amount will only grow each week as more chips get added from my winnings each week because of the 50% replay! Even if I do absolutely nothing, I don’t even look at it, it will just grow and grow for the next 6 months.

Imagine spending a bit of time to actually work with it, you would make a lot more money! But that was not the task – the task was: make money by not doing anything, and I have in fact succeeded.

So I am officially in, I am a member of crypto888,asia. A members only organization who will place bets at great odds on your behalf. They say to have complicated computer programs predicting outcomes of games and investments, and with the help of professional gamblers, their winning profits are at around 10,5% as the average of all weekly results since they started. (That´s massive knowing they have over 70.000 members all of whom have paid in a minimum of 150€, some of which have invested up to 10K and even more !)

I love my new friends, they make me money, and my boss will be pleased to know there is a way to make money online without doing anything. I just hope he lets me keep my winnings so I can buy my new shoes because that´s all a girl needs in the end isn’t it?

Crypto888 Scam or Score?

Is crypto888 a scam?

You will have heard a lot about crypto 888 in the past months, especially since they launched their own online digital currency Octacoin just 2 months ago. The mining of these coins have officially started.

There are stories online calling the business a ponzi scheme, and a scam, mainly put out there by their rival cryptocurrency suppliers and other competitors, so let´s find out what the truth is, really dig deep into what the online sports gaming site is all about, and ask the question, Crypto888 Scam or Score?

The first thing to understand is that you have to be invited to join the club. This is not very difficult as they now have nearly 70.000 members and growing with an average of 1000 members per day. So the first hurdle is overcome, and when you really think about it, 70.000 people can’t all be wrong at the same time right?

Even if they managed to fool 70.000 people into signing up for a membership, why have they not left yet? Why do they stay in the crpto888 program?
The answer to that one is actually fairly simple, they are in fact making money. Lots of money. Some of them have spent a lot of money on signing up for various accounts, and have brought with them a huge following of similar minded investors and business people, such as Nigel Alan, who previously was a large investor in OneCoin with a large number of followers, are in fact making a nice bit of money out of this members club.

But not just the big guys are making money, it is the smaller members, who are also making a great return on their participation without really having to do anything! Of course, those that invest less, get less, as with anything, and that is only fair. You have to put money in, in order to multiply that money. But how are they making their money?

How does crypto888 make its money?

When you join crypto888, the money you have invested in a membership gets converted to chips. These chips are used in online betting (by professional gamblers along with technologically advanced computer software predicting the odds of a bet). Each week, the profits of the betting done by these professional gamblers, gets divided over the amount of chips in the program; and the result will give you an amount per chip.

Depending on the amount of chips you have in your account, you get your profits paid out in your account.

So far, the members have a proven track record of an average of more than 10% profit each week, so that´s a great return on their investment thus far. Great ? Even a lot beter than great. And this short term profit obviously makes the competition quite nervous.

So is crypto888 a scam?

The answer is no, because unlike a ponzi scheme, or pyramid scheme, there is an actual product involved, and the money generated comes from the profits of online betting, sports arbitrage, stock investments, energy and real estate. In a scam you would pay money to get in, and other people get rich on those entry fees. That is clearly not the case here. When you pay, you buy chips which are used, to give you a positive return. But instead of each person individually doing something, it is the critical mass that matters.  The difference is, with crypto888 you do it together, in a club, with a team of very professional people who make it their job to put your money only on the best investments, with the greatest odds and most profitable stocks.

It is like going to the casino with 100 euro. What are the chances that you walk out with more than you walked in? In most cases these chances are slim. Or even non existing with the exception of one in a million ….
But now imagine walking into the casino with a professional Gambler by your side, who will do all the hard work for you? Your chances have now increased tenfold, and the likelihood you walk out with more than you came in is very likely indeed.

So does Crypto888 lose money too?

Of course, as with any investment you make, whether it be the stock market, a local business or even leaving it at the bank to gain interest, you can win, but you can certainly also lose.

This is why the club does not put all their bets on one horse, that would be silly, and then indeed, it would be a scam. They put your money on a variety of good bets, some more dangerous than others, and unlike stocks on the stock market, you don’t have to wait for months to see a result, betting closes at the start of each week. Mondays at 12.00, they call it payday. Why? Well, so far the members have always enjoyed a 10% profit on their money, so happy faces all round!

So why do I hear people speak about a ponzi scheme and a pyramid scheme when it comes to crypto888?

To ensure the club grows fast and has many members in a short period of time, the club maintains an MLM system for all their members. So if you sign up, and then you invite your friends to sign up, you receive a commission on what they spend, and then you receive a weekly return on their investment, and lastly you receive a commission based on their winnings too. So if you have 5 friends signing up, and they too sign up 5 friends, your weekly returns have all of the sudden grown immensely.

This might look like a pyramid scheme, but it isn´t. In a pyramid scheme, you would be making a lot of money from the people below you, and the people under you would be making less money than you. This is not the case at Crypto888; in fact, the person below you might invite 10 friends and make more money than you. It all depends on how active each person engages. The more active you are, the more money you will make.

The money you receive from introducing your friends, does not come out of your friends pocket, it is paid to you by part of the profits received each week through the online sports betting, so the only loser here is the guy betting against the professional gambler working for crypto888, he’s the one forking out all the cash, no one else!

So you see, to the question, Scam or Score? The correct answer would most definitely be: Score!

So far, not one person has admitted to having lost money from this program, and as indicated before, 70.000 members can´t all be wrong.

So if you are passionate about investing money, don´t hesitate, and check out this members club. Apply for an invite, and you will be pleasantly surprised at the ease of making money online without having to do much for it!

Crypto888: What are the odds?

Octaland Inside View

Each week, the reward program attached to Octaland lets you in on the lives of some of our most valued members, and this week Jarle Thorsen has given us an hour of his valuable time to get to know him a little better!

Jarle has been on the Octaland project since day one and has contributed enormously in the marketing and the social networking aspect of the business.
Jarle is a self made business man, and a very hard one at that! He successfully runs his global activities from his head office in Cyprus, and introduced to Octaland many new members using his own Social network and many of his Personal relationships.
People trust him, appreciate his loyalty, and are inspired by his wisdom and drive to succeed.

So here we go, interview with Jarle Thorsen:

Jarle, why you and Octaland? 
Octaland is an “Opportunity Community”. It is driven by the community of its members, a strong network concept and a joint success of hard working people. The spirit of the “Opportunity Platform” which I brought to this is a great contributor and really makes a difference, that much is clear. I was involved with a good friend in the discussions from day one, and as co-founder of Octaland I fell in love with the concept immediately. I have my own company, and I know how hard it is to grow a good solid sustainable business and especially a network of people. Solid people you can build a business on. Who are in it for the success and not just to come and do a nine-to-five job and go home with a salary. This business is 24/7, 365 days a year. That is how our global economy works and I am proud to be in that ! I proud with the set-up of this business, I immediately used my personal network and relationships  to help it grow. That´s important you know, quick growth in a business like this, and now with Octaland just being announced it is more exciting than ever!

Of course, you must be super busy, how do you divide your time between your activities and your home in Cyprus ? Well the great thing about Octaland and the reward program is, you can continue with your work and daily life as normal, as everything is on-line, and can be accessed from any country. We already have members in more than 185 countries so it is impossible to be everywhere anyway. Yes, I do travel a lot and am always on the move, as long as I have my laptop and my smartphone, I am there. And to be honest, these guys have this under control so well, you don’t need to check your account every 2 minutes. Monday´s the only day I log on to check, because Monday is Payday! All other days is just plain hard work.

Haha, yes, we heard about this famous Monday-payday thing. Is it working for you so far?
Working? It is more than working for me, it is making it for me! Of course it helps I have such a large network of likeminded people who I could introduce to the Octaland reward program, and every Monday we “tease” each other a little on what our rewards are, and who´s got the most. It’s real fun! And what is even the most important of all if I compare, it works for everyone in the club. Monday is payday for everyone, without exception. Everyone shares in the profits and the weekly results of the program!

What do you mean by compare, you would always be the winner right? You introduced all the others, isn´t that how it works?
No, not at all, that’s why this system is so amazing! To be honest, I have not been top of the list for ages! My people are making more money than me! Some even a lot more. And they deserve it because they work really hard for it and they get the results. I guess I need to review my tactics a bit!

So what does Jarle do when he is not making a load of money?
You mean in my spare time? I’m not sure there such a thing. Where can I buy some? Haha… no seriously, I have some very beautiful and amazing children who I love being with. They are so smart, much smarter than me! I was not exactly the shining star in school but I have always been working very hard, and had the opportunity to work with a lot of bright people from whom I could learn and many even became friends. So any time I get free, I spend with my family and friends. That´s all you need in the end right? Money can buy a lot of things, but it can not buy you friendship and love that you get from having a family and your friends around.
We often go on daytrips with the family, explore cities, and really get behind the history of a place. I love that stuff, and would do that every day if I could.
I am also the co-producer of a song for the daughter a friend of mine, Josie “we care we share“.  The guitar player actually wrote the tune, and I named the song to the tile “We Care We Share”.
I am also involved in several charity initiatives. I believe fundamentally that everyone has a responsibility to make the world a better place, no matter how big or small your contribution is. But more about that later, or we keep going on for hours here.

Ah, so there´s a softer side to Jarle too! Not just the hard businessman he portrays to be?
Oh, don´t get me wrong, you do not want to get on my bad side, but yes, I am very much a softy at heart. I love helping my friends out, and solving problems for my family and close relatives. I also support many national and international charities, not just by donating money, but actively getting involved. I once grew a massive beard for charity, my wife and kids were not too pleased, but it was a lot of fun! I am pleased that´s over now though, It looked like the right thing to do!

Well, we hear you are a busy man, and we will not keep you any longer. Any words of wisdom to part with? 
Believe in yourself even if others don´t. If you have passion for something, you can make it work. Don’t get discouraged by other people’s opinions. And no matter what you decide, action means you have decided, and action means work, hard work to make things happen. No matter what it is you engage in, you need to be willing to commit to hard work. That´s what I teach my kids and what I live by, and that is also what brought me my success. It is a tough world, but if you remember who is close to you and what values and opinions matter the most, you will make a great success of whatever your venture is.
