CAPSULE TALKS I hosts honest, in-depth conversations with pioneers about work, pressure, doubt, discipline, and growth. Designers, founders, athletes, and cultural leaders reflect on the choices behind their careers. What shaped them, challenged them, almost broke them and how they kept moving forward. No marketing machine. No growth agenda. Just conversations driven by curiosity and care. Episodes appear without a schedule. Random encounters, intentional stories. Hosted by Bastiaan van der Sluis.
