Decel mindset, relentless iteration and esoteric health tips - Episode #1

Welcome to the first episode of WIP The Podcast – straight out of Amsterdam, where we get real about the grit and grind of building a business. We’re not your average gurus with a success story wrapped in a bow. We’re founders in the trenches, sharing what it actually takes to scale, learn, fail, and iterate. In this episode, we dig into: The Decel Mindset – why there’s zero room for it if you’re serious about growing Throughput and Volume – why bootstrapping an agency without high project flow is a one-way ticket to irrelevance Constant Iteration – the obsession to test, tweak, and bring value to clients Community and Culture – the real, unpolished truth of keeping a team motivated and thriving Plus, a bit of esoteric wellness (Epsom salt and baking soda baths) for good measure This is for anyone who’s building, grinding, and constantly learning.
