Catch the golden hour with us at Hatch for an evening of cold gazpacho, fresh tacos, live beats, and real conversation on what it actually takes for humans to thrive in the age of AI.

​Together with you, we’re unpacking what keeps us uniquely human in an automated world, and how to lead through digital disruption without relying on another model,  slide deck, framework or buzzword.

​It turns out future-proof leadership isn't about a new model or tech stack; it’s about how we’re naturally wired.

​And since all good things come in 3s, and because we couldn't resist dropping a brand-new, highly scientific framework right after telling you not to worry about models,

​here are the 3 T’s:

  • Talk: Neuroscience & the ultimate human advantage with Dr. Skyla Herod (plus global perspectives from Martijn Boomsma).
  • Tacos: Freshly made by a chef, paired with cold gazpacho soup
  • Tunes: Live set by DJ djtré (Tré Wright (they/them), Executive Coach, Former Netflix HR Director)

What is Soup Talks?

​Born in Amsterdam, Soup Talks is an intimate gathering where we invite fascinating minds to share unfiltered stories over a great meal.

​Think of it as a simple recipe: Take one incredible guest speaker, mix in their personal comfort recipe, put them in a room with a curated crowd of curious people, simmer for an hour, and see what sparks.
