And they really feel like they are allowed to express themselves as you are? – Mikkel How you build cities really defines how we get to interact as humans - Mikkel We realised what we really cared most about using those years to do, was to fundamentally try to make better products and try to nudge the industry in a direction that we subjectively felt was a good one – Mikkel We are just the results of our habits. So the biggest obstacle to changing something in the world is that you need to change people's habits - Mikkel     Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   Sponsors You're listening to a podcast produced by A PODCAST COMPANY.
