Norway is often described as the best country in the world. But what happens when that belief goes unexamined?

In this episode of NUGGETS, Pellegrino and Francois take an honest look at Norwegian culture through the lens of the good, the bad, and the ugly. They explore what Norway gets brilliantly right — trust, low friction, reliability — and where those same strengths quietly turn into weaknesses.

From conflict avoidance and moral certainty to the subtle pressure not to stand out, this is an outsider–insider conversation shaped by decades of living and working in Norway. It’s not judgement. It’s observation.

And it’s not really just about Norway.

It’s about what happens in any culture, organisation, or leadership team when pride replaces curiosity — and when good intentions create blind spots.

What you’ll take away: A sharper awareness of when confidence helps — and when it starts to hurt.
