In Zurich, Natascha Buck and I talk about the origins of no-code, Filemaker and the power of Notion

For this second season, I’ve decided to embark on a quick train journey to go meet my parents in a small town of the Czech Republic. Over 7 days I will go through Geneva, Zurich, Vienna and Prague before reaching Karlovy Vary. 
As you can guess, I’ve tried to get in touch with no-coders along the way to have a chat with them.
I couldn’t find anyone in Geneva, but in Zurich, Natascha Buck was nice enough to accept my invitation.
She’s an automation expert and a Notion ambassador. That’s going to be a good talk!
