Claudio Santori
I'm very excited to welcome my good friend, Claudio Santori to the podcast. I briefly interview him in Berlin last year, the results of which you can see here on the AF youtube channel.
In that interview we discussed Bliu Bliu and his story in more detail, so if you'd like a nice back story for this interview you can go check out that interview first.
He also did a talk on how to focus, is very passionate about personal development and entrepreneurship – so he's right up my alley!
