Did you know that 4-year-old kids ask an average of 390 questions a day? In light of this, children can be considered the research and development of the human race, according to Moodi Mahmoudi, who previously gave a speech title \\u201cAct like a child\\u201d at Tech Day, a 2 day hackathon in Amsterdam.

\\n

Mahmoudi is also the founder and CEO of NEXT, a company that focuses on design thinking and provides businesses with digitally guided processes, challenging the way they traditionally approach problems and solutions.

\\n

We invited Mahmoudi to join us on the show to discuss how NEXT works, what their digital guide process looks like, and what makes it different from traditional problem-solving approaches.

In this episode, you will learn how NEXT helped tackle Amsterdamn\\u2019s overcrowded bike parking problem and why out of the box thinking was so important to solve this issue.

Mahmoudi also explains the motivation and meaning behind his \\u201cAct like a child\\u201d speech, why learning is not necessarily a linear process, and the top three most thought-provoking questions asked by children. We\\u2019ll give you a quick peek at the first one, \\u201cWhat are shadows made of?\\u201d so stay tuned to hear the top two.
