How did Erik manage all of this?
I met with Erik in his studio in Utrecht. To start off with 2 quotes from Erik:

“There is no formula for success.”

“If you want to make God smile you must tell him your plan.”

Erik has managed to create something very special in the business world and he reveals HOW he made ICM so big and still stay so humble.
