  <title>Janwillem de Kwaasteniet: Building Bright Horizon and Adventures in Entrepreneurship</title>
  <description> Please welcome my friend Janwillem de Kwaasteniet to the show.&amp;amp;nbsp; He's the founder of Bright Horizon, which he started after visiting Medellin, Colombia. He’s got a great entrepreneurial story to share.   We go over how he started his first company, what it’s like being a long-term adventurer, and yes, why I jokingly call him an underwear model. Honestly, to me, he’s the Dutch version of Tim Ferriss. Except, unlike Tim, Janwillem speaks five languages, so there’s that.   We’ll be jamming on lifestyle design, aligning business with your values, and what it really takes to build cross-border businesses across places like the Caribbean, Latin America, and the EU. And, of course, we’ll explore the most important question of all:&amp;amp;nbsp;Why do you do what you do?&amp;amp;nbsp;   Janwillem, great to have you.&amp;amp;nbsp; Let's get cracking.     Janwillem de Kwaasteniet Quotes From the Episode &amp;quot;Wealth is about creating a healthy body, a healthy mind, and healthy relationships, love, spending time with your family, with your friends, and yeah and also money and work.&amp;quot; &amp;amp;nbsp;   &amp;quot;I prefer to make less money with a factory where you have a good relationship with, than to make a shitload of money with a company that I don't like.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;With too much data, it fogs up your intuition.&amp;quot;   Additional Resources    Janwillem de Kwaasteniet on Instagram   Janwillem de Kwaasteniet on LinkedIn  Bright Horizon    Show Notes    00:33 - Introduction and Entrepreneurial Backstory  03:18 - Launching a Business in Colombian Textiles  09:17 - Building and Scaling Bright Horizon  15:06 - Sustainable Product Experiments and Lessons Learned  18:58 - Lifestyle Design and the Freedom of Entrepreneurship  23:55 - Tim Ferriss, Mindset Shifts, and Redefining Success  28:00 - Purpose-Driven Business and Community Impact  30:20 - Daily Routine, Fitness, and Mental Practices  37:14 - Love for Latin America and Language Immersion  43:17 - Early Travel, Work Ethic, and First Ventures  49:35 - Language, Culture, and Learning Through Immersion  57:36 - Mentorship, Personal Growth, and Relationships  Great ideas.
