Life threw him a curveball on his 30th birthday. He was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Being a founder is tough, but doing it with cancer was near impossible. This kickstarted Ben’s journey. He stepped down from his busy startup life and began down a different path.
Right now, he’s focusing on three things:
// Visiting every country in the world
// Learning languages
His challenge is to life this crazy life without going crazy himself!
Resources:
// 100 employees. 100 lessons. What I wish I’d known when starting Nuri
