Could you imagine starting and building twenty successful companies before the age of thirty-four? On top of that, being a board member in over ten companies spread throughout Asia, Europe and America and perhaps the youngest bank board member in Europe at 30 graduating from MIT with a MBA at 23, releasing a Danish bestseller that gets named top 7 book globally by the Danish equivalent of Financial Times, re-releasing the book around the world with Wiley, and being involved in a leading financial management platform for banking and insurance that has more than eighty million annual users and a value of hundreds of millions? Today’s guest is that person and his name is Mads Faurholt.

On the show today, Mads and I talk about the extensive experience he has as an incredibly motivated entrepreneur. We chat about his youth, what drives him, the importance of understanding subconscious drivers and managing those motivators. We talk about how he used the book The Four-Hour Work Week to model his life and business, what he learned at business school vs. not attending business school, and the importance of measuring business models before starting businesses.
