"I think people who don't know each other don't easily mingle and chat. I feel some kind of team building, by putting people in teams, is more likely to get them to work together to perhaps solve issues or win something. It would definitely increase interaction n build team spirit n trust. Suggestions would be having a quiz, 30 seconds, finding clues sort of competition. "

"Absolutely phenomenal talk!"

"It was a much needed awakening delivered in an honest manner. Thank you!"

"Absolutely awesome and inspiring evening. Extremely informative and most certainly eye-opening. Would love to attend more of these events, and will also spread the word."

"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."
