"It’s bullshit, you never have it under control" - Patrick Hennig, CEO & co-fouder of nexenio & culture4life (Luca App)

From Doubt to Drive - Entrepreneurs Only.

This week with Patrick Hennig, CEO and co-fouder of nexenio and of culture4life, the company better known for the Luca app, an app that was launched in 2020 during COVID lockdowns to help restaurants, bars, clubs and events to skip the manual registration of their guests and to allow easier tracking in case of a COVID outbreak. The app became rapidly famous because the German hip hop band “Fantastische Vier” supported it from the beginning. 40 million users downloaded the app to get back a little bit of freedom.

Today, Patrick transformed Luca in a reservation, ordering and payment app. Listen to an entrepreneur who took chances and started a business in times of global doubts, uncertainties, and troubles.

The main learnings from this conversation are:

• It’s all bullshit, you never have it under control
• Don’t think too much
• A disadvantage is also an advantage. Learning is a credit
• When you need to take action, take action!
• I’m not convinced that you always have to be convinced. Situations of doubt are good.
• Have a clear goal, but be flexible on the details
• Think alone first, then discuss with others
