“I do not really have an idol. There are people and companies that I am following that are doing a great job with their own philosophies but I am not trying to be Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg or somebody else, I’m trying to be myself and to make myself an idol,” Ivan Mrvos, who is from Solin near Split, starts off telling CNN.

CNN visits the headquarters of Include as Mrvoš shows how the benches are made and also shares his philosophy and plans.
