We didn\u2019t have a telephone, and it gave me this intrinsic value for communication &#8211; when I started using more digital communication, I realised that it was much less effective. Eighteen years ago we invented Skype and are still using the same format, but I wanted to look for the next credible evolution in communication, which is how Beem started.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What the unique leadership challenges that you\u2019ve experienced as a founder in a completely new area?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Creating a technology that doesn\u2019t exist yet means that you are trying to understand when the market will be mature enough for the value of your product to be understood. It\u2019s an interesting challenge to motivate a team to create this product, and to keep the faith that the world will see and appreciate what we are doing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the world of competitive and disruptive start-ups like Beem, how do you compete for top talent and ensure you are able to hire the most innovative people<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are a very tight knit team of twenty people and are all sold into the vision \u2013 we all want to see Beem succeed. That is what\u2019s important when we talk to new hires that they understand and are excited by the potential of the technology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What have been the most effective personal methodologies you have used to grow and develop as a leader?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been really valuable, especially as a sole founder, to have an amazing network through my investors. They are from a range of different industries: from ex-CEOs of global companies, COOs of certain banks, and even celebrities. They all have amazing experiences that allow me to lean on them for advice, and for them to fact check me and keep me in check. It allows me to keep bettering myself, to understand my own deficits and work on them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does great leadership look like to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s not many great leaders out there \u2013 if you think you\u2019re a great leader, you\u2019ve got more to learn because leadership is a fluid thing. Leadership is knowing that you always have space to improve \u2013 the key is identifying your weaknesses, keep bettering yourself, and listening to your team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How significant has the buzz around the metaverse been in helping augmented reality become more mainstream? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s great for the industry, because it\u2019s creating a shift in public knowledge around what technology is out there to improve the way that we interact, but this metaverse hype cycle has been heavily pushed by technology companies that are very invested in the space.<\/p>\n<p>The narrative of the metaverse has been focused on virtual reality, on virtual worlds like Sandbox where people can buy little plots of land and build things on them, but the metaverse is a new paradigm for the way that we interact with technology and data. It\u2019s a big ecosystem that incorporates augmented reality, virtual reality, cryptocurrency \u2013 it\u2019s this entire universe.<\/p>\n<p>Psychologically however, the most exciting world will always be our world, the physical world that we\u2019ve grown up on because it\u2019s the most high fidelity one \u2013 augmented reality will allow us to unlock our own planet in different ways by replicating and enhancing the way we have done things for thousands of years.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who says the virtual reality\/gaming world is the most exciting part of the metaverse either has a vested interest in ensuring the commercialization of the space, or doesn\u2019t fully understand where we are going with this technology. Over the course of the next 1-3 years we will see public knowledge of the metaverse shift into a more rounded understanding of where we are going with technology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the best book, podcast or movie you would recommend that you have taken long lasting learns from?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8220;stretch_row&#8220; el_class=&#8220;light&#8220;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8220;stretch_row&#8220; el_class=&#8220;dark&#8220;][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text] Janosch Amstutz discusses leading one of the most innovative start-ups, having been named one of London&#8217;s most influential people in 2019 for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":11993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,20],"tags":[205],"class_list":["post-10525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-insights","category-podcast","tag-leadership-learns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.6 (Yoast SEO v24.9) -
