"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."

"Thanks for last night’s entertaining and thought-provoking talk. We enjoyed our time with you at The Tryst. When you spoke about the fear of hard work (and making good decisions) it reminded me of this idiom: “Taking the path of least resistance is what makes rivers, and men, crooked.” We admire the great initiatives that you’re busy with."

"Great event Team, great insights and delivery by Erik "

"A webinar was very informative, eye opening and giving a global and future thinking touch. John's insight and his energy was great with Mark's compliment, it worked very well especially when John lost connection, a synchronization when Mark continued was absolutely phenomenal. Understanding that this was a first your work, I think it will be great idea to make a key speaker's time little longer (maybe 5 minutes more), especially for Q&A session. Great work and initiative with your team and sponsors as well."

"Well presented, awesome venue and great organisation."
