Suits & Sneakers

"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."

"Brilliant and thought provoking. Love your work "

"Excellent event, excellent speakers so inspiring. Love that Suits and Sneakers is back"

"Absolutely loved it - thank you Jawitz should have more of these"

"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."
