Oh god, how did we even make it to episode 11? Didn't expect this when we came up with The Picnic.

I also didn't see epic guests like Nicholas coming.

Who knew that there were so many cool Belgian boiiis in the marketing scene?

I sure didn't, but I'm always ready to support my countrymen.

Although I don't think a baller like Nicholas needs much help.

I mean look at what he's achieved so far:

1) He started a planning tool named Plann3r. This tool looks at both of your availability and location and immediately pics a meeting time that works optimally with both people's schedule.

It even takes travel time into account.

2) When he was getting started with the app, he got accepted into the "birdhouse accelerator". Which is a very prestigious Belgium accelerator that's notoriously hard to get into.

3) Before that, he worked for a growth hacking agency, where he used his hacky strategies to generate leads on the CHEAP.

He later used those skills for his startup, because he couldn't use traditional marketing channels with his limited budget.

4) He's also a talented developer, which is one of the reasons he managed to do all that other stuff.

That's where he honed his core marketing skills.

5) He has a disarming smile and dreamy eyes. Which isn't relevant in any way tbh..

Here's what I'm going to ask him about:

1) His life journey, he told me about living in Denmark and winning all sorts of entrepreneurial competitions. What's up with that?

2) What's plann3r all about? How is he managing to make it so cutting edge in such a crowded market?

3) How can people use plann3r to save time, make money and look cool?

4) What's his process for coming up with his guerilla marketing tactics?

5) What is the number one opportunity to get leads on the cheap right now?

6) What's one thing nobody told him about starting a saas company?

7) What's it like being an entrepreneur in Belgium?

Much Love,

Stapho Thienpont
