-- MY GUEST --
Today my guest is Mikko Revonniemi. A Finnish entrepreneur he's interested in individual & collective well-being & balance. He has previously founded the wellness brand Four Sigmatic - now a global success, selling mushroom coffee around the world. With the most recent startup #Taimi he's aiming to provide holistic tools for a balanced life. Mikko has lived in Asia for almost 10 years before moving back to Finland, his home country, which he absolutely loves. He's not only interested in understanding the internal world of the self but also the external world of the society, spending plenty of his free-time making sense of the world.
