Recorded LIVE @ Transform HR 2024 Las Vegas!\n\nVideo: https://youtu.be/jaKMYDLwvAc\n\nEmbark on a captivating expedition with Adriaan Kolff, CEO of Matchr, as he charts the course from his early days at Unilever to the entrepreneurial summit, where his venture in senior-level recruitment reshapes the industry. Our thought-provoking conversation sheds light on the uphill battles faced by start-ups, the persistent myths surrounding the role of a recruiter, and the grit required to transition from the corporate grind to the freedom and challenges of starting your own business. Adriaan's narrative is a testament to the power of perseverance and the relentless pursuit of an idea rather than waiting for perfection to strike.\n\nFurther stirring the pot, we delve into the life-altering ethos of unconditional giving, illustrated by the extraordinary culture of Burning Man\u2014an event that not only sparked a romance but ignited a new worldview. The stories we share reveal the magnetism of selflessness and how the philosophy of giving without expectation can lead to unforeseen, enriching connections.
