In this episode, filmmaker and creative visionary Asger Leth shares his journey from a restless nomadic life to creating Lakehouse,a cultural and community space in Copenhagen designed to unite people through dialogue, creativity, and shared experiences.

We dive into:

• Why some people need movement while others need stability

• How AI and the internet are reshaping how we trust information
