Daan Roosegaarde (pt.1): Let the dream guide you!

We did not expect Daan to have time for two students that just want to learn from him. All the more thrilled were we when we got to hear that he found an hour in his schedule. We got the opportunity to casually sit down with him and discuss things like: “What was Daan Roosegaarde like as a student?” “Why is being a voluntary prisoner of your own idea good for the future?” and “Do fishes survive being flushed down the toilet?”. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode half as much, as we enjoyed recording it.

Let us know what you think! Have a great holiday season and we’ll see you in 2021.
