Philosophy Got Tipsy | Corné van Nijhuis | Barrels & Roots

I sat down with Corné van Nijhuis, the world's first self-described venosopher, and this conversation went places I didn't expect. Corné spent decades in corporate finance before stepping away and doing something remarkable, he stripped away everything that came with the job, the titles, the learned behaviors, the decorations, and found out who he actually was underneath all of it. We talked about why wine brings you back to your senses, how the aftertaste of a wine mirrors the true character of a person, and why the purpose of life - like the purpose of music, was never about reaching the final note. Corné also introduced me to the concept of venosophy, a word he coined blending vinology and philosophy, and it reframed the way I think about what happens when you slow down long enough to actually taste something.What's one moment in your life where slowing down completely changed how you saw something?
