Canada is not only my second homeland, but also a place where I understood what kind of person I want to be, how I want to do business, what I expect public organizations and politics to be. I spent a lot of time in Canadian. University, education, different jobs, but at the heart of it all was social education. My first job was in an immigrant help centre, then I was a teacher, I was involved in politics... I saw a different world, where things were not happening through corruption, but through people full of personal talents who dream of making a constant difference in society and always helping those in need, because they believed in this life philosophy.

A Small Profile, by a Very Big Person
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference!
I founded two companies in London. The first was The Help London, a business offering various services to private houses. It enabled me to entirely fund all of my social initiatives. The pursuit of excellence in the services that I have provided has been essential for my accomplishments. No matter who I was serving, my clients or my fellow citizens, I always desired to provide the best service possible and experience the pride of success! After a few years in London, I was certified by the British Butler Institute, the world's foremost authority on personalised and luxurious service. I simply dare to excel!

For the film "Pilgrim in Thailand" for which he was awarded in the international festival, it presents the idea of sustainable tourism and the love of travel as an experience, not just as a pleasure.

Pilgrim... As Understanding of the World
The Angel Social Group has a deep corporate culture based on philosophical and spiritual beliefs influenced by the long travels of its founder Ilian Kuzmanov.
The road is my perception of the world and travel is a way of life. I have visited dozens of countries... I have lived in many places, countries, continents,... I have studied in public, private and religious institutions... I have worked, taught, motivated, served the community, done civic organizations, participated in political,... I've done business, some of which have generated millions, others have failed, I've created social and innovative enterprises,... I've explored cultures, customs, people, religions, social and political systems,... it's been a journey for me, more than a pilgrimage, in which I've sought and found myself and my place in society.

A Mind of Brilliance: A Member of Mensa
Kuzmanov's intellectual prowess is evident in his writing. As a member of Mensa Bulgaria, an exclusive society for individuals with high IQs, he stands as one of the most intelligent Bulgarians, with an IQ well above that of Einstein. His exceptional intellect shines through in his thought-provoking narratives and intricate exploration of complex themes.

You have to believe in yourself when no one else will...
Boxing, contact sports, it's stronger than philosophy and understanding, it's concepts about not how to win, but how to learn to lose. One win, comes at the cost of numerous losses. In life, in business, we want to win without being willing to lose, without being able to lose, filled with fear of the smallest failure. What I have learned from boxing is ultimately that both the hero and the coward experience the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, transfers it to his opponent, and the coward runs away. Fear is the same thing, but it's what you do with it that's important; it's also our relationship to failure, to pain, to loss. I would use the Buddhist maxim that life is pain, and pain is in the wake of our desires, expectations, to stop the pain we just have to get rid of them.
