Dear Future Creator w/ Kevin Fernandes

Social media is the new kid on the block when it comes to stealing our attention. As many other creators on the platform, I have followed their footsteps and got rid of facebook, snapchat, youtube, instagram, linkedIn and even netflix for 30 days. (There are a lot right..) The first 2 weeks were hard but the end results were priceless. I saw myself regain the ability to direct my focus and attention on one thing, creating. But more on that in the podcast. Enjoy!

In this week's episode, I got to sit down with Tom Michels, CEO and one of five cofounders of the startup Salonkee. After finishing university, Tom jumped into coding the first version of the app, which later on was awarded the young entrepreneur prize in Luxembourg. The journey is short from amazing, raising 1M in 2019, managing through a pandemic in 2020 and raising another 6.2 M euro in 2021 to expand in Europe.
Over the conversation, Tom shares his journey on becoming an entrepreneur and launching Salonkee, the mindset he has as a CEO, how naivety helped him and the cofounders start the project and how he establishes his company values. You get to understand Tom the human and how that drives him to be of service as a leader for his customers and employees. (And much more.)
