We (i.e. Dutch) are good architects, good designers in general. Building a business to make a lot of money doesn&#8217;t seem to drive Dutch people in the same way compared to other countries. It&#8217;s more about making an impact.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>8:50\u00a0<\/strong><b><\/b>&#8211;\u00a0<em>Joe\u00a0<\/em>&#8211; &#8220;We need people whose auto-reaction is not \u2018take it slow, be pragmatic, don\u2019t take any risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>9:15\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211;\u00a0<\/i><em>Joe\u00a0<\/em><i>&#8211; &#8221;\u00a0<\/i>I don&#8217;t see a path to this type of growth that we discuss without the risk piece being there. Take a chance, go bigger, try harder. Not just work more, but try to envision bigger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>12:32\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; Constantijn &#8211;\u00a0<\/i>&#8220;We have a small market. So somewhere in the mindset you have to immediately introduce that you&#8217;re building a business that should go beyond the boundaries of the Netherlands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>15:00\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; Constantijn &#8211;\u00a0<\/i>&#8220;I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve done a lot in the Netherlands to attract talent. In fact, Amsterdam &#8211; and the Netherlands in general &#8211; are ranked quite highly for livability, and people do want to come here, but we haven&#8217;t ever done wide skill acquisition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>27:23\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; Constantijn &#8211;\u00a0<\/i>&#8220;I think that this podcast should really contribute to sharing the insights of seasoned entrepreneurs. And if we can capture the insights of why some of those entrepreneurs have been successful, I think that\u2019s something very valuable for the ecosystem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>34:38\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; Joe &#8211;\u00a0<\/i>&#8220;This podcast is about helping tech companies in the Netherlands, figuring out what it means to scale by
