"GREAT event! "

"Absolutely amazing workshop. Mark Sham is a great host and speaker. Very valuable workshop and I would highly recommend it to anyone out there to attend. "

"Thank you all for an amazing evening. I cried and laughed and cried and laughed. You gave me so many things tonight ( New friends, new business opportunities, new hope) I sat in a moment and could hold space for just how fucking insanely hard the last 2 years have been for me, my business, my family, my friends, my community, province, country, continent, world. It has sucked balls so hard at times I thought I was ready to leave here. But tonight in a moment, a breath taking moment I got to say well done chick! We fucking made it through that. Now anything going forward is a bonus! I really do from the very bottom of my heart love you all. What you do matters!!! Who you are is valued!!!! Come on let's kick some more ass! Here's to a revolution of love. Awesome to Grace this planet at the same time as you all. Keep on keeping on crazy beautifuls! "

"Provocative, engaging and good damn fun, well done Mark!"

"The event “The Plato Journey” delivers a powerful mix of inspiration + practical insights. For those interested in entrepreneurship (especially in food & beverage, retail, or lifestyle brands), it offers an authentic case study: what it takes to build something from nothing in a challenging, competitive space. Stephan Bredell comes across as honest, driven, and values-oriented — someone who doesn’t just want to scale, but to do so meaningfully. The community-centric angle is especially compelling; it's not just about profits, but people and spaces. If you’re looking for motivation, perspective, or actionable lessons, this is very worthwhile. If you want extremely technical deep dives (financial modelling, exact metrics, franchising law etc.), then some aspects may leave you wanting more."
