Twelve years ago, Michael Maes decided to give up his life in Antwerp, Belgium, and, he says, “move towards nature, away from the mainstream.”
Maes was then in his early 40s and a serial entrepreneur who’d owned a software business, auto dealerships, and equity in Bank Degroof Petercam, a large, privately owned Belgian bank.
