What better than a Day of the Entrepreneur to throw some flowers to Joris Van Der Gucht after saying farewell from Silverfin this week. Even though he does not like to be in spotlight 🙉 (whatever anyone thinks, not another LinkedIn flattering as you're not my boss anymore & we've always been honest to each other anyway 😂). Thank you, Joris. Genuinely. For feeding the fire in all of us. Aiming high, never settle, always focus on what's next. You were the one that reminded me of what ambition really is like 🔥 For giving me your trust and confidence. When hiring me in the first place, and throughout the rollercoaster years that followed. I could try & fail, learn & improve, and hustle a way to our goals 🎯 For reminding me to have fun, making many memories. And plenty of drinks along the way 🎉 For keeping me honest, in highs and lows 🧐 Of course the going got rough at times. Pressure, stress, countless challenges: scaling is not quite a pony camp. But persistence always wins. Your recent Connexi Podcast (link in comments) summarizes it perfectly. An illustration of your self-knowledge & self-reflection skills many underestimate. Let's call it a week & have a Friday drink, as we always did at Silverfin. Here's to the next thrilling chapters in your journey! 🥂 We'll all keep building the opportunity 🚀 After all, never a boring day! 🐒
