Casper Henningsen (Part 1): Becoming a pro football player, Falling into addiction, Losing it all and starting from scratch

What gets you to the first level of success often won't get you to the second.

Sometimes it does the opposite. It takes you down. You have to reinvent yourself.

We flew to Copenhagen to sit down with Casper Henningsen, CEO of GetWhy to discuss:

➡️ How he became a professional footballer by 20

➡️ Why the narrative behind his first success stopped working, and cost him everything

➡️ How he rebuilt himself into the youngest Senior Partner at Kunde & Co in three years

➡️ What's next after raising ~€60M and building the global leader in AI-moderated consumer research

Part 1 of 3. Part 1 goes into the personal stuff, not the company deck.
