In this episode of The Olympic Mindset Podcast, host Dominic Broad speaks with Oliver Lundgren, founder and CEO of Skolon—an EdTech company reshaping how students and educators engage with digital learning.

Oliver shares the lessons behind his entrepreneurial journey, including how past failures shaped his leadership style and how problem-solving became his driving force. With honesty and clarity, he reflects on the influence of his parents, the challenges of balancing family life and business, and what it really takes to lead a purpose-driven tech company in the education space.
