In this episode, our guest is Mariia Kozlova, an associate professor at LUT University and an inventor of the SimDec method - accompanied by her lovely dog Luna (also a distinguished professor).

Together, we discuss Mariia's experience turning her academic research into an entrepreneurial journey, her views on Silicon Valley's "fast-and-furious" mode, and the immense power of curiosity, people, and dogs.

This will be a cleansing episode for both your brain and soul. Trust us.
