I started coding in the year 2000. That was my gateway into a life of creating, building, and shaping things on the web. Since then, I’ve launched platforms, developed technologies, founded a company, and built digital brands that now reach millions of people around the world.
But through all those years, one thing remained undone.
A blog. My blog.
I’ve bought the domains — MarcusAnthony.com and MarcusAnthonyCyganiak.com — each one purchased with the same intent: to write, to reflect, to share. But I never stuck with it. There was always another launch, another system to build, another platform to grow.
Then, three days ago, I bought marcus.blog. And this time, it feels different.
This isn’t about regret. It’s about honouring the path that brought me here.
Because the truth is, I wasn’t standing still.
In 2009, I co-founded BuyRIC with my father, Kris, focused on real estate in Vancouver. In 2011, we launched The Pinnacle List, which became a global name in luxury real estate media. In 2016, we created TRAVOH to share our travel storytelling with the world. And in 2017, we founded Solespire Media Inc. — the company that now powers those brands and more.
Solespire is to me what Apple was to Steve Jobs. But this blog is something else. This is personal. It’s my voice — not to replace the work I do, but to reflect on the life behind it. A space to peel back the curtain. To explore the journey. To think forward. To be human.
Because behind every platform, every brand, and every product I’ve ever launched… is me.
A Canadian-European entrepreneur living between continents. A builder of digital media systems and brands. A husband. A lifelong learner. Someone who believes that ideas are worth chasing — and that the act of creating is its own reward.
Marcus.Blog is where I write about it all — the work, the ideas, the setbacks, the lessons, the obsessions. This will be a place for thinking in public. For sharing insights on entrepreneurship, digital media, SEO, business, innovation, design, AI, and the evolving world we work in. But it will also be a space for reflection — personal, philosophical, sometimes even messy.
I’m not launching this blog with a fancy design. I’m using the default WordPress Twenty Twenty-Five theme, because this isn’t about appearance — it’s about showing up. It’s about publishing. Daily, if I can. Consistently, for certain.
And that’s what I’m doing now.
It’s taken me 25 years to write this first post. But I know it’s the first of many. Because now, finally, I’ve started.
And I plan to keep going.
One post at a time.
What project have you delayed that deserves a Day One today?
