Summary

A few weeks back, following the What's Next?! Conference in Belgium I sat down for a fireside chat in with a room of Belgian/European startups. With this small and intimate group we discuss the good ole days of when tech enthusiasts and entrepreneurs weren't cool or famous, how incentivized marketing (in my opinion) is bullsh*t, and what it's like to treat a business like your own child. Make sure you tune into this one because it's FIRE.

Now if you lack talent, you can work for the rest of your life. You're not going to win.

1:07.1

So you need to be smart about that, and then there's the strategy of what you're building.

1:10.3

If you're building a piece of shit, you've lost.
