Matthijs Keij is the CEO of Withlocals, an international experiential company that connects people to local hosts who offer private, personalised tours from all over the world.

Matthijs has had a fascinating journey in business, working for multiple companies that he has gone on to sell, and working in both startups and then corporate environments after selling those businesses.

It has given him a hugely informed view of what makes successful businesses (and startups in particular) tick, and he delivers it with an incredibly calming tone as you would expect from a man who has been there and done it!

This conversation covers a wide variety of those learnings, from growing a successful team to how you should establish your mission as a company and how that should then flow down into all elements in the business structure.

We also discuss how Matthijs satisfies his desire to learn (and specific ways he goes about that), along with insight into working with investors, tips for bigger thinking, leadership and hiring approaches he uses.

This one is packed with value from top to bottom, so make sure you’ve got your notepad at the ready...

Enjoy!
