Today on the Third Culture Talk Podcast, I sit down with Jan Heimes, co-CEO of Needle. 

We talk about his life growing up in Germany. Also his experiences living across Europe and the U.S. (including Utah!). And the cultural shocks he faced along the way. Jan also shares how the app, Needle, came to life, why finding the right co-founder is so important. And what it takes to build something meaningful across cultures.

✨ If you’re curious about culture, travel, and entrepreneurship, you’ll love this episode.
