For a lot of LGBTQ+ people, especially when you’re young, the internet is the first place you get to try on who you are — long before any workplace, sometimes before anyone around you knows. It’s community, information, a lifeline. It’s also where you’ll find the most hostility, in the exact same place. Åsa Lenhoff leads the team behind Telenor Sweden’s Nätprat (“net talk”), helping young people build resilience for life online. She and Yuki get into the parts that don’t have a tidy answer: why the internet is moving from big open platforms into small closed groups — safer for some, somewhere harassment can hide for others — whether age bans actually help (not on their own), what we should be asking of the platforms instead, and the one small thing any of us can do this week. There’s a number in here about what kids get sent by strangers that’s worth sitting with.

Featuring Åsa Lenhoff (Telenor Sweden). Hosted by Yuki Morais (they/them, Nokia).

Being out at work isn’t one decision. It’s a hundred small ones a day. For our first episode, four LGBTQ+ people from across the telecoms industry get honest about what that actually feels like in 2026: the mask almost everyone wears, a coming-out story that goes so well it gets awkward, and the gap between a friendly colleague and a workplace that’s genuinely changed — the policy, the building, even the bathroom. Funny in places, uncomfortable in others, and not tied up with a bow. There’s a number in here that stuck with us, too.

Featuring Urtė Tamutytė (she/her, Telia, Lithuania), Helge Rundhaug (he/him, Telia, Norway), Chris Hovde (he/him, leadership consultant), and Mia Beaudoin-Dion (they/them, Celestica, Canada). Hosted by Yuki Morais (they/them).
