I'm back in one of my favorite spots in the city with my wonderful friend Jimmy Nelson and accompanied by Prince Constantijn. We three met in September 2021 in the Netherlands at Jimmy's exhibition, The Last Sentinels, which was absolutely breathtaking. I sat down with Jimmy and Constantijn to discuss the value in preserving heritage, the disappearing Dutch culture, the bliss of finding an adopted home, and Jimmy's newest projects. The video of this episode, linked below, is simply the better way to consume this conversation. In his latest book, Between the Sea and the Sky, Jimmy Nelson presents portraits of twenty Dutch communities wearing regional traditional dress and the environment that shaped them. It is his most personal book ever. During the recent pandemic, which restricted travel across the world, Jimmy Nelson realized he didn't need to travel to the ends of the Earth to discover outstanding human beauty. This insight gave rise to a new project much closer to home, a stunning art book and ode to the Netherlands, his adopted fatherland.Listen as we discuss:Jimmy's adopted Dutchhood and the root of his love for the Netherlands.His loving process of photographing 20 traditional Dutch villages.Why the Dutch don't brag about being Dutch and dealing with their colonial past.Between the Sea and SkyWhy does Jimmy carry a cumbersome old camera with limited film?Delayed gratification and the beauty of the process.Some features of Dutch culture with the "Definitive Dutch Man", Prince Constantijn.Is the metaverse the next step of modernization?Slow down and be interested in people, and life will give its fruits.Visit Jimmy's exhibition on October 14.

Sometimes, while traveling around the Netherlands, you end up seated in front of a prince and princess of the Dutch Royal House. And sometimes, you realize, they couldn't be any more different than what you'd expect from a royal. In fact,  they are two of the kindest, humblest, and most authentic people I've met yet.Prince Constantijn & Princess Laurentien were kind enough to host me in The Hague at their Number Five foundation, where we recorded (and filmed) this episode. I felt a deep admiration for their efforts breaking through the restrictions of royal life to show a truly human face. When I published Scary Smart last October, I met with the Prince (thanks to the efforts of our tireless head of the One Billion Happy foundation, Sonja Dippel) to talk about AI. After our chat, he left, got into a very normal car, and drove himself to his next destination. I thought to myself, "This is a prince?". After later meeting Princess Laurentien, and learning of her own tireless efforts to make the world a better place by empowering women, expanding literacy, caring for the environment, among other pursuits, I became a fanboy of these two.Ego is the cause of human suffering. Being a royal was exactly the test the Buddha faced in combatting his own ego. Here, we have two more examples of people in power recognizing the true nature of royalty and flipping the script for good.When humanity shines more than royalty.Listen as we discuss:How I met the Prince and Princess.The genius of a wet grass carpet, and how they work for their son.Establishing boundaries when it comes to social media.Princess Laurentien's evolution to feeling like a kid again.The strange request of asking to be treated normally.How this prince and princess fell in love.Dealing with scandal in the Netherlands and the greater role of government.It is crucial to look for wisdom from people that aren't at the top.Defensiveness is one of the top red flags for development.The exponential value of admitting ignorance.What is listening?Enabling the development of tech for good.Princess Laurentien's top tip for happiness?  Alignment with your values and imagining.Prince Constantijn's top tip for happiness?

Aldo speaks to HRH Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands about why she feels education is in dire need of a radical rethink. A passionate plea to create genuine equality between child & teacher, stepping away from tests & exams and aiming to achieve measurable progress through the process of ‘shared learning'. Guest Introduction:  When my next guest joined the Dutch Royal family through her marriage with Prince Constantijn in 2001, it very soon became apparent to the Dutch people that this Princess was not only here for the ribbon cutting formalities but keen to make a positive difference in any way she possibly could. From nature & wildlife preservation,  circular economies to Education. This ‘Power Princess' is here to get some work done.  In 2004 she founded the Stichting Lezen & Schrijven (freely translated Foundation for Reading & Writing) to effectively attack the public secret of illiteracy ongoing in her country.  17 years later this organisation has had a tremendous impact notably having supported  tens of thousands of people from all corners of the Netherlands to make reading and writing accessible to all. Her activism to improve the state of education and the environment did not stop there. As a Special Envoy for UNESCO on Literacy and Development and as a Literacy Expert for the High Commission of the European Union to ensure changes could be realised on a top-down level.   But also through starting admirable  initiatives like Missing Chapter  to specifically help children become more  aware of societal problems at hand.  There are simply too many accolades, chairships and  patronages to mention so I won't go through all of them but very worthy of looking at  are the series of books Princess Laurentien has written to increase a child's understanding on sustainability and the environment around the character Mr. Finney, as well as her fairy tale writing skills that she deployed  with other renowned Dutch children's book writers.  Seemingly Princess Laurentien can do it all. Raising awareness, funds and connecting people  to find a solution for topics that matter. And that she wasn't anywhere near done, became clear when she founded the Number Five Foundation in 2017 together with her husband to find an answer to the big questions that require our attention today:   The team at Number 5 are here to make a strategic difference and to create a positive impact  way by connecting the right people with each other -  they have already worked on many assignments but one project that caught my attention is :  The creation of an Alliance on Digital Togetherness involving key players from both private as well as public world to better understand all the changes that come along as we develop further into this Digital Era. The Number Five Foundation keeps an open mind in which equality is its highest value and has carefully integrated the UN's Millennium Development Goals into its DNA. Lots of work to be done led by a Princess who is more than ready to rumble! You can check out the website of the Number Five Foundation here: https://www.numberfive.community

The Netherlands is fast becoming one of Europe's major tech hubs with American technology giants Uber, Netflix and Tesla choosing the country for its European base, not to mention domestic success stories such as TomTom and Booking.com. But what features underlie the country’s success and what challenges does the Netherlands face in growing its startup ecosystem? On that topic, Carlos speaks to three veterans of the Dutch ecosystem: Prince Constantijn van Oranje, startup envoy for Startup Delta - the Dutch support program that boosts the entrepreneurial climate in the Netherlands - alongside serial entrepreneur and Rockstart Founder, Oscar Kneppers and Ton van 't Noordende, Venture Partner at the seed and early-stage investors Keadyn as they discuss company building and what makes the Netherlands an attractive destination for startups and venture capital. Tune in to understand how the Netherlands’ small size naturally builds an appetite for platform and marketplace-based companies like 3D Hubs which, by default, must scale by expanding abroad – and how one of biggest challenges the ecosystem faces is its fragmentation. Learn also how to build a company, why flexibility, resilience and execution power are crucial in teams, and which sector the country’s own version of the ‘Paypal Mafia’ is likely to come from.
