Hey, I’m Nate, and this is Lasting Eco —
A space where engineering precision meets forward-thinking business insights. Let me properly introduce myself—and my co-pilot: Squeaky!! She’s an adopted Korean kitten with hilariously short legs who makes sure my workdays never lack entertainment.





The Science & Engineering Side
I studied Physics and Math at university, which led me into a career building particle accelerators for proton therapy centers in hospitals—a job that took me all over the world. Later, I transitioned to leading large engineering teams designing and building satellite computers for organizations including NASA. Along the way, I learned to evaluate technology with scientific precision and a focus on long-term sustainability—an approach that now guides everything we do in the Deep Dives and Product reviews sections.
Here, we take a deep dive into products of all kinds—whether it’s tools, outdoor gear, household items, or anything else—evaluating them through scientific principles and real-world testing. Expect thorough, hands-on reviews that break down performance, design, sustainability, repair-ability, and long-term durability, with a sharp eye on material safety along the way (think toxicity of “BPA-like” plastics, nano coatings, and more). We’ll also use practical benchmarks like the Janka and Mohs hardness scales to back it all up with real data so that you’re empowered in your decision making.


The Business & Future Economy Vision
The countries I’ve lived in include Germany, Sweden, China, South Korea, France, and the USA, and I’ve visited many more. Across every country I visited, I witnessed similar economic shifts happening at different scales. Over time, I realized just how quickly our economies are evolving—often leaving traditional structures behind. This realization sparked my passion for decentralization and the future of work. As I explored new business models emerging from the Industry 5.0 shift happening today, one kept resurfacing: affiliate marketing.
I was skeptical at first—too many shallow pitches and gimmicks. But with time and research, I saw its real value: a lean, scalable way to share what matters without compromising independence. It’s not about hype or hustle. It’s about building trust, owning your platform, and doing it on your own terms.
This is just one facet of what we’ll explore in our Business insights section, where we dig into economic shifts and share strategies for thriving as the traditional grind fades. I’ll share my strategies with you with integrity, No paid endorsements—just honest analysis and tested ideas merged with actionable insights.
