In this episode, we have someone very interesting and varied in his experience.Yannis Dimitroulas is an expert in marketing currently leading a content marketing team based in the Netherlands. He's done quite a number of marketing consultant work, been part of a team to sell chocolate all around the world, and most of all he is a good friend. We've known each other since 2007, and I know from seeing his journey until now that there's going to be some amazing wisdom from him.
We talked about:

• Vulnerability and what we can learn from it
• Finding your why and its importance
• Being a cross-cultural kid and living among cultures
• We talked about the observations we have of the world, from philosophy to business models and more

Yannis is the marketer, the riser, and a brother in the pursuit of wisdom. He is the AntiFool.Enjoy!
