“It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward” – Rocky Balboa

Hello! Allow me to introduce myself…

My name is Cem Hurturk. I’m a self-made software engineer and serial entrepreneur. I’ve been writing code since I was in high school and working in the software industry since the early 1990s. Since then, I’ve continued to hone my experience and skills in creating software to optimize business potential, email marketing, and delivery.

My entrepreneurial spirit and knowledge in software creation have enabled me to establish over 20 successful businesses, some of which include: Octeth.com, Sendloop.com, 50saas.com, ReferralMagic.co, IPMonitor.app, Cleanify.io, and PreviewMyEmail (acquired).

The software businesses that I manage enable other worldwide organizations to operate more efficiently.

Building on my experience, my mission is to assist at least 1000 entrepreneurs yearly to build their in-house email marketing systems. I’ve created this website to showcase my professional career milestones, as a platform to share my thoughts, ideas, and future plans.

In my free time, I enjoy reading and I’m passionate and eager to learn more about nature. I’m continually aspiring to be a better person and to be grateful every day.

Thank you for visiting.

“Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” – Bruce Lee

Build Capital That Survives the Sun

Build Capital That Survives the Sun

Driving along Turkey’s south-west coast, I spotted a truck with a simple line on its back: “For those whose capital is made of ice, the sun becomes their greatest fear.” That sentence hasn’t left me since. It made me rethink what resilience really means — building a life on things that don’t melt under pressure, noticing the signs life throws our way, and preparing for heat long before it arrives.

Being Present is a Daily Practice

Being Present is a Daily Practice

The human brain goes into present-moment awareness during life-threatening situations. The amygdala releases cortisol and adrenaline and we focus completely on immediate survival. We can access deep presence when needed – your brain does this during car accidents, natural disasters, or physical threats. This biological response has been with us for millions of years as a survival mechanism. Research shows these heightened states of awareness increase reaction time by up to 50%.
