As an undeniable soul who has been publishing content on digital platforms since the age of ten, I am committed to sharing exceptional pieces of information on six main topics: business, entrepreneurship, life lessons, self-improvement, social media, and start-up.

Nevertheless, most of my articles revolve around our relationship. My preference is to convey to you what you want from me. I have been involved in various projects for years in order to make you and myself experience the exuberance of this sacred duty.

I adopted teaching people new information as a philosophy of life. 21 September 2021 is Ege Erkek’s foundation date.
