From Doubt to Drive - Entrepreneurs Only.

This episode’s guest is literally a person who mastered the concept of “from doubt to drive” through his career and life: We are happy to have Claus Meyer, serial culinary entrepreneur and co-founder of NOMA, on our show.

Claus Meyer is a prominent Danish restaurateur, chef, and culinary entrepreneur who has played a significant role in shaping contemporary Nordic cuisine. He is perhaps best known as one of the co-founders of Noma, together with Rene Redzepi, the world-renowned Copenhagen restaurant that has been awarded multiple Michelin stars and has been named the world's best restaurant five times.

He developed an early interest in food and gastronomy but initially pursued academic studies in economics and business administration. He earned a Master’s degree in International Business from Copenhagen Business School. Claus is passionate about using food as a tool for social change. In 2011, he launched The Melting Pot Foundation, https://www.meltingpotfonden.org which focuses on food education and social entrepreneurship. Projects include establishing culinary schools and programs to combat poverty and unemployment.

His entrepreneurial ventures continue to blend gastronomy with social responsibility.

The main learnings from this conversation are:

There is a correlation between love and deliciousness
Everday happiness is motivating
When life becomes detached from cooking you lose meaning, purpose and togetherness
If you lose, take the chance. There’s always hope
You must accept that you can’t win all battles
When in darkness find the small bright things

Tune in and listen to Claus when he shares very honestly and openly where he hit roadblocks during his career and what kind of person he became by overcoming his struggles and doubts. It’s worth listening!
