  • The importance of physical and mental performance while being and entrepreneur, with Ed Ley l 030

    Each of our daily actions in the past can impact our future outcomes.  Therefore, with an increase of tasks within our entrepreneur journey each day, it is important to have your mind and body work in a flow. Otherwise, you, me and everyone else place ourselves a risk of burnout, decrease in productivity, lack of focus, fatigue, stress and much more. So it is important to take action before it is too late.


    To understand how and where to begin, on this episode I have hosted Ed Ley, physical and mental performance coach as well as Founder of Absolute Health. He uses neuroscience concepts in a way that causes us to flip everything we know about performance on its head and put it back together again in a way that just makes sense.

            • How can we make voluntourism more sustainable l Part 2, with Eva Cian l 027

              "It is a beautiful gesture to want to volunteer and therefore it should be done efficiently." / Eva Cian


              On this episode, you will be able to listen to the continues part of Part 1 - The complexities of voluntourism and the unregulated market, we had the chance to tap into together with Eva Cian. You will be able to understand how we can create a change and what role NGO PILOT is playing in all this.


              WHAT IS THE MISSION OF NGO PILOT?
              Their mission is to create awareness campaign and debate, through relevant channels, on the issue of travel type, voluntary travel. In addition, collect signatures on requirements to have a validation method introduced, which is to ensure transparent and sustainable voluntary work abroad.

            • The complexities of voluntourism and the unregulated market l Part 1, with Eva Cian l 026

              "Eight million children worldwide are in orphanages and up to 90% of these children are not actually orphans”. / Save the Children


              In this episode, you will be able to listen to advocate for responsible voluntourism Eva Cian, The Co-founder of NGO PILOT. Together with her, we will try to understand some global issues caused by voluntourism and shed some light on this so-called feel good by doing good travel.


              WHY SHALL WE CARE ABOUT VOLUNTOURISM?

              Every year westerners go abroad to volunteer and what we do know is that the popular travel type is seen as a do-good feel-good vacation but what is not looked closely enough at is the fact that volunteering abroad rarely have a positive impact you might think it has. If young people are not equipped to work with at-risk children in their home country why should they be able to do so abroad?

              Unregistered NGOs, for-profit travel agencies and volunteers unfit for the jobs, make voluntourism a multi-billion dollar market with a non-sustainable and truly damaging agenda.

               If you would like to understand how can you contribute to making this industry more sustainable, contact Eva Cian here.

            • How to set effective goals and deliver on them, with Levi Yosef l 025

              American professor and psychologists Dan Gilbert once said that “The reason most of us are unhappy most of the time is that we set our goals, not for the person we’re going to be when we reach them — we set our goals for the person we are when we set them.” Which leads to the question, how to actually set the right goals? What is your Northstar?


              Therefore, in this week's episode, you will be able to hear from Levi Yosef - Founder of Leaty, how to make your first step toward success and switch from being passive to actually involved in life.

              HOW TO SET THE RIGHT GOALS?

              Before setting any goals, you need to understand your core values. Don+t mistake someone else's goals for yours - this is a recipe for misery and stagnation. Use your goals as your Northstar and gather real data out of your experience, to quickly identify the right direction for yourself. Keeping that in mind, think about the resources to your disposal and how these can enable you to collect that data, whether it is a person you can talk to, or a project you can participate in. But remember that it's important to set goals that you can start with right away and that are measurable. And step by step, you continuously get closer to becoming the person you want to be.

              • Base them on your core values
              • Think about the next step to achieve them
              • Makes them actionable and measurable
              • Test them and revise at the later point
              • If you would like to understand more about how to set the right goals for you, contact Levi Yosef and start achieving your goals.

              • Why cycling is becoming more popular around the World, with Oliver Emil Andersen l 021

                German mathematician and physicist Albert Einstein once said: "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." In this weeks episode of Startup Playground Podcast, you will be able to hear about the famous Danish bicycle culture which started in the 1930s. Since then the bicycle has become a widespread symbol of equality and freedom not only in Denmark but in many countries around the World. Therefore, to understand this phenomenon, in this episode we hosted actual Dane and Copenhagener - Oliver Emil Andersen - Founder of Behind Handlebars. His passion is his business. and his goal is to inspire people to bike and use the bike as a tool for pleasure and exploration.


                WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER A BICYCLE AS YOUR PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE?

                Because it is cheap, fast, convenient.... and you get plenty of fresh air and exercise. What's not to like.

                A personal message from Oliver: " The realization I had a couple of years ago was that I didn’t really know my city. I took the details for granted; the architecture, the views and everything that makes Copenhagen unique. I wanted to change that. I wanted to get that feeling of wonder that you get when you visit a city for the first time. I grabbed my bike and decided to go see some of the attractions that tourists see when they visit Copenhagen. Instead of just pedalling past it as I normally did, I stopped. Stopped and actually looked at my city. It was wonderful!"
