On this rocking episode, I had the chance to talk with one of my favorite humans from my time working with startups in Estonia -- Blazej Wojtyla. Blazej is the kind of human who uses every facet of his brain. He always thinks quietly and thoughtfully, and the outcome is always something spectacular. Blazej is the the CEO and founder of Jazzy Innovations and Stream Sage is also the writer and creator of the one-man interactive stage show in Poland, How It Has to Be.

But let’s back up a little. As a successful entrepreneur, Blazej built Jazzy Innovations and Stream Sage in his native Poland. Stream Sage transforms content into a connected storytelling experience that engages customers. The technology he created lets users connect any content (video, live streaming, text, images, and storytelling) directly with their products/services, which offers a new way to unlock revenue and conversions and drive engagement.

But along the way, Blazej felt like he had a story to tell. He had grown up doing magic and was fascinated by the philosophical and problem-solving principles that empowered magicians.

So Blazej returned to his passion as a young adult and began developing a play about finding and recalibrating your instinct, letting go of programming, and challenging yourself to stand up for your path and the journey you are on.

He hired an acting coach, honed his playwriting skills and re-opened the door to his love of magic. After months of many twists and turns, defending his choice to focus on the show, How It Has To Be opened in October 2024 in Poland to rave reviews.

How It Has To Be challenges conventional thinking and encourages the audience to dig deeper into who they are and how they are defined. What’s not to love?
