Unexpected Networking on the Road.

One of the most surprising parts of my ZenRide adventure has been what happens inside the car when Copenhagen hosts a conference.

I get to meet all kinds of people - seasoned CEOs, ambitious startup founders, and everything in between. And without fail, our conversations drift toward something close to my heart: the balance between work and life, and the different joys and challenges of running a business.

What’s even more surprising?
I’ve actually connected with more new people on LinkedIn (and sometimes Facebook) through my passengers than I did in my last years running companies in the gaming industry. And sometimes, those connections even lead to introductions to others in their networks - all sparked by a simple ride from A to B.

It makes me realise: opportunities to learn, share, and connect don’t always happen at boardroom tables or industry events. Sometimes, they happen in the backseat of a car, between the airport and the hotel.

And honestly? That’s one of the most rewarding parts of this new chapter.
