Daan Roosegaarde (pt.2): How to take ownership of your future?
Description
There was more to talk about than we could fit in one episode. So here is part two! Who did Daan look up to when he was a student? How can you and I proactively create this Protopia? What if I want to run my own studio? What if I don’t? Also, Russian literature, Greek philosophy and chairs. All in one episode. We hope you enjoy our conversation, we sure did!
