5 learnings from HelloFresh

Recently I made a commitment to try different products and services out in order to try and get a better understanding of what it is the best consumer-focused digital companies do that make them so successful. My starting point was HelloFresh which just recently launched in Denmark. Monday I got my first shipment from HelloFresh;… Continue reading 5 learnings from HelloFresh

Lies are free

Nathan Robinson from 'Current Affairs' has an excellent opinion piece out, where he argues that the big problem with paywalls is that while you're keeping quality knowledge and information behind bars, fake news remains in the open and free.
