About

Hey! My name is Wouter Smeulders. Welcome to the Inspiration Pub.

Here I share my ideas, thoughts, books, and recommended videos and podcasts. I hope you enjoy it and that you find something that inspires you. This site isn’t about me as a person, but here is some information for those who are curious.

I’m an ambitious Dutchman who grew up and finished a Masters in Finance in the Netherlands before moving abroad. After my studies, I lived in Prague for a year and traveled through South-America for five months, before moving to London. That’s where the writing and Inspiration Pub really kicked off. After four years in London, I moved back to the Netherlands in 2018.

Like most people, I enjoy sports, travelling, new experiences, movies, and music. Slightly more unique is my drive to always want to learn more. I read books, watch videos, and listen to podcasts about many different topics, but my main interests are the psychology around happiness, high-performance (in business and sports), life design, decision-making, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

I consider myself a positive, stable, and down-to-earth guy with a passion for learning. One of my strengths is to break down big chunks of complex information, find the golden nuggets, and then turn it into something practical, simple, and concise. That is why I created this website. To share insights and ideas that can hopefully inspire you as well.

This is not my job, but a hobby that got a bit out of control. My goal is to share all of this and thereby hopefully inspire others. As many as possible. That is why everything here is for free. If you like it, I only ask you to share the website with others so that they can enjoy it as well.

I hope you’ll have a good time at the Inspiration Pub and feel free to get in touch.
