Trafficking...? Not so much..
I was approached the other day by two brothers with a business plan: to develop a prostitution business.
My spontaneous reaction: Not so much.
When I was kid I never pictured myself one day telling my father: "Look dad what I did with my life and all the opportunities which were open to me! Aren't you proud?".
Neither did I ever encounter one book or curriculum in business school about how to become a player in the human trafficking and sexual slavery circuit.That was never my goal during all those nights studying management, macro theory and political economy.
The guys who approached me come from a Swedish upper middle-class family and have for some reason decided that this is the best they can do with their lives. Somehow they pictured me as a consultant and potential partner in this far-fetched "success story"...
I'm guessing this is one of the consequences of too much drug experimenting. There may surely be other reasons, albeit unbeknownst to me.
Sure, I may have a "complicated relationship" with feminists and I certainly am no fan of Sex & The City. That does not extend to a desire to open some form of "DVD & Body Rental Service".
People usually approach me for sound advice on how to establish careers or develop brands in diverse business sectors ranging from the computer industry to music, modeling or social media.
Why these two guys came up with the impulse to approach me about how to become slave managers... well... once again, I am guessing it has something to do with the well-known hazards to the brain functions of people who do "recreational" drugs.
