Think Like

In the fourth episode of our podcast series Think Like, we sit down with Leonardo Fuligni, Executive Director at Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship, to examine the uncomfortable realities of scaling in Europe. In this conversation, Leonardo challenges common growth myths, explores the fundamental difference between scalability and actual scaling, and discusses how leaders must adapt their organisations to avoid becoming their own bottleneck.

In the third episode of our new podcast series Think Like, we sit down with Dr. Carsten Mahrenholz, founder and CEO of COLDPLASMATECH, to dive into the intersection of entrepreneurship and human-centred impact. Under his leadership, COLDPLASMATECH is scaling a unique cold plasma technology to restore dignity and healing to patients with untreatable wounds, proving that strong moral values can drive business success.

In this second episode of our podcast series Think Like, we sit down with Nadia Fani, founder of Coastruction and Rotterdam's 2026 Businesswoman of the Year. Under her leadership, Coastruction is rewriting the rules of marine restoration by using innovative powder-bed 3D printing to turn local natural materials into biomimicry artificial reefs that revive global ecosystems.

In this premiere episode of our new podcast series Think Like, we sit down with Joe Wilson, Chief Evangelist and former COO of bunq, to explore exactly that.

Under his leadership, bunq rewrote the rules to become Europe's second-largest neobank and the first EU neobank to reach structural profitability.

Joe pulls back the curtain, revealing his thoughts on questions such as:

• “Is securing a job at bunq statistically harder than getting accepted into MIT?”
• “What does it actually mean to be a GenAI-first bank (handling 97% of customer support with AI while maintaining a 90% satisfaction rate)?”
• “Why is granting employees full ownership the secret to staying innovative for long periods of time?”
• “What specific traps must ambitious founders avoid when scaling?”
