About this video
Ronja Fleckenstein is an entrepreneur and content creator who built her first web design agency in her twenties. While undergoing chemotherapy, she moved her office to Munich’s Maximilianstraße. Ronja kept creating, not despite it all, but because of it. In her talk “The Surprising Power of Negative Thinking,” she reveals how the same tools that helped her grow a business became tools for navigating her diagnosis and how they can help you, too. Ronja believes: “Entrepreneurship isn’t just for companies: It’s for everyday life.”
