It’s story time! A story of many, brave individuals that decided to launch new initiatives, leave the often big comfort of the corporate path, and create something new. This is often a moment for extreme personal introspection for a professional, and we started thinking – what factors make someone jump out of the golden cage? how did this pandemic accelerate or not some of these career shifts? or perhaps other major technological advancements? which internal impulses bring one to reprioritize career/work lifestyles?
Matteo Rizzi is an example of such an individual, and he invited friends Conny Dorrestijn, David Mellett, and Damien Dugauquier for this episode of #BBE.
