  • 1.2 Dodi, Funda, and tech's glaring gender gap

    What do you do when you keep banging your head against the glass ceiling?


    "Sometimes the glass ceiling is so embedded in a culture that it's time to leave and go somewhere it's non-existent," says Funda Sezgi, a Turkish national who is now Chief House Officer at Stockholm-based impact tech hub, Norrsken House.


    Host Samanda Ekman is joined by Funda and her fellow guest, Ericsson veteran and voice of Snow Software, Dodi Axelson, to discuss tech's glaring gender gap, what it's like to be women in a male-dominated industry, and why it's empowering to have the choice to suit up or dress down.

  • 1.1 Grace, Sara, and Stockholm's music tech scene

    When Australian native Grace McCallum entered an online competition to join the ABBA Choir, she never imagined she would end up uprooting her entire life and relocating to Stockholm. She was soon taken under the wing of music industry veteran Sara Herrlin, and the two have gone on to form Stockholm Music City, a movement bringing together Sweden's two most dynamic industries: music and tech.


    Host Samanda Ekman talks to Grace and Sara about how their extraordinary friendship started with a very, very long lunch, how to find the true value in a network and what it's like to be a woman in the traditionally male-dominated industry of music tech.
