This is our conversation with MediaMonks' co-founder Wesley ter Haar. MediaMonks is one of the world's biggest creative production companies, with 11 offices worldwide and 700 people on staff. They recently made global headlines with the acquisition by Martin Sorrell's new company S4 Capital. The €300M deal is the biggest for a production company ever.

Jeroen and Paul speak with Wesley about how it all started in 2001, somewhere in a small basement. About how they completely reshaped the company in 2009, allowing them to become an internationally renowned creative production partner for the world's biggest brands and agencies.

For our second Cannes-episode Paul and Jeroen spoke with Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten, co-founder and CEO of The Next Web. One of the world's largest and most influential media platforms on technology, with up to almost 7 million monthly readers. Boris started his first company when he was 21, and got acquired a few years later. Today, TNW hosts yearly conferences and recently launched TQ, one of the coolest co-working spaces in Amsterdam.

On the beach in Cannes we discuss the excitement of starting your own company, the importance of failing and ignoring people's advice.

Special thanks to our friends at the Embassy of Dutch Creativity and Antfood Music & Sound Design in Amsterdam.

Paul en Jeroen gaan in gesprek met Ron Simpson, oprichter van het absurd populaire avocadorestaurant in De Pijp en - sinds kort - in Amsterdam Zuid. Ron runt naast The Avocado Show een talent agency, is bekend geworden met het DJ collectief Girls Love DJ's en is serial feestorganisator in o.a. Jimmy Woo. Kortom; een man die te veel doet om in een kort intro te omschrijven.

We praten met Ron over viral gaan met een idee voor een restaurant, over het uitspreken van je ideeën, over "fanchisers" en het belang van fouten maken.
