“Let’s go to an MMA class”, Anton said after 20 minutes of work . I had never witnessed such good timing and flow between activities in my life. I worked at my friend’s Anton’s furniture startup “Made By Loft” in Stockholm, Sweden. At the end of my stay we recorded a podcast where we talk about the lessons and stories we had.
