🍕🍷 FOMO Berlin - first FOMO Pizza & Wine Soirée in CPT: January 29 - February 4

Hi Berliners 👋

Oh, darling, Cape Town is practically showing off its beauty! The scenery is so stunning it's almost illegal, and I must admit, basking in the company of familiar faces is quite the delight. Last week, we fancied ourselves as villa-hopping explorers, unveiling the wonders of Cape Town. Oh, did I mention I conquered my first cycling race? 🚴‍♂️

However, apartheid and big poverty are still visible. I am still figuring out the biggest impact I can make to provide change.

FOMO Carve Out:

High Snobiety published a refreshed consumer white paper called “Introducing Luxury’s New Rules” with Boston Consulting Group. It’s a well written report that accurately reflects the current zeitgeist, but perhaps it could have been published 6 - 12 months ago
