Arne Schepker has been CEO of language learning business Babbel since 2015.

We discuss why AI is ‘overrated’, how app-based learning could overtake conventional classes, and how to build the best modern-day work culture.

Also in this episode:

  • What has kept you at Babbel for more than 7 years?
  • Will app learning eventually take over face-to-face classes?
  • Why Artificial Intelligence is ‘vastly overrated and overused’
  • Why beanbags and ping pong tables aren’t all you need to build a strong work culture
  • Babbel’s plans for a language learning ‘ecosystem’
  • Arne’s message to entrepreneurs: “solve real user problems please”
