Learnability

In July 1969, the Stonewall Inn was raided by the police's so-called, Public Morals Squad. This was normal at the time, but what's significant about this occurrence is the fact that this time the people stood up and fought back. This moment is marked as the start of the LGBTQ movement as we know it today. One year later Pride was born. 

Mark Segal was present at the riots of Stonewall Inn and became an activist and a well-known figure in the fight for human rights by highjacking Walter Cronkite's live CBS broadcast to as many as 66 million Americans. He then founded the Philadephia Gay News in 1976 and is still running the paper. He has also, amongst many things, authored the book "And Then I Danced: Traveling the Road to LGBT Equality", as well as collaborated with Barack Obama in a $19 million housing project for the communities senior citizens.

We are also joined by Juliet Atto, who is a journalist and the co-founder of the community Black Queers Sweden. Together they teach us about the once suppressed history, the modern fight for human rights, and the future of community forming and belonging.

Our guest for this episode is none other than the recording artist Joe Lefty. We had the chance to speak to him before the release of his coming single "Decisions", which we also took the chance to dive deeper into and deconstruct the creative and business process that goes behind creating a hit.

Joe grew up in Australia and then moved to Sweden when he was 14 years old. That's also about the time he started doing music, which was first inspired by improvisational sessions with his Samoan school mates. His general curiosity and strive for growth spills into his music and he wishes to inspire people in life, in similar ways that the late Nipsey Hustle inspired him at the beginning of his career. Even if you're not a music head, there is a lot to learn from this hard-working and humble guy.

Hope you enjoy our first ever vodcast available at Youtube!

If you're an avid podcast listener, you might have heard our next guest on his podcast, Influencerpodden. Anton Granlund is most likely best known as the entrepreneur behind the award-winning staffing company Slash.Ten, which started over a decade ago with a G-star store in central Stockholm and a dream of creating the best company culture and service. This later expanded to 21 stores spread across the Nordics and a team of close to hundreds of stars.

We get in the mind of the then 23-year-old Anton, who was studying at Stockholm School of Economics while running back and forth to the first store. We also speak about his learnability over the years, goal setting, failure, mentorship, management of talent, the future of retail, the influence of social media and so much more.

These are some of the questions we were privileged enough to get inspiring answers to. Enjoy the episode, and don't forget to subscribe.

We created this metacognitive guided meditation as a tool to be used as a continuous reminder of practicing plasticity and having a growth mindset. Making a fixed mindset impossible by basing your confidence in your ability to learn, rather than previous knowledge gained.

"People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort. They outperform those with a fixed mindset, because they embrace challenges, treating them as opportunities to learn something new". - Dr. Travis Bradberry for the World Economic Forum.

We wish you progress and great learnings from whatever challenge you may tackle within the nearest future!

This is the most extended episode to date as we were lucky enough to sit down with Binto Bali, just a week before he traveled to northeastern Nigeria, where he will be working for the United Nations as a Protection Officer.

Amongst many enriching insights, this conversation takes us around the world as we track Binto's journey from growing up in the suburbs of Stockholm to going "back home" and connecting with his roots. He studied peace and conflict in London, CouchSurfed in Iran while writing his master's thesis, and then joined an international humanitarian organization called Nonviolent Peaceforce in South Sudan.

It was great catching up with an old friend and hopefully a future minister of some sort. Enjoy this conversation, and don't forget to subscribe for more!
