Today we're having a deep dive into motivation and reprogramming with Johanna Ojala, who is a renowned expert sports commentator in cross country skiing. She has a background as an elite athlete and tell us about moving from that state of mind to the mindset of a regular person, and what that has been like, and how some serious soul searching set her on a new path. Also, kudos tho Kalle Zackari Wahlström for the analogy that made it all the way to headlining this episode.

This episode is a little different. It started out as a conversation about between Aric and I about the crises we go through in life and how they shape us (if we let them), and how we found our respective paths out of trauma - but we ended up basically hoping we could find a way to bring Laurence Fishburne's character Morpheus from the Matrix on the podcast. Because that would be awesome.

In this episode we have a chat with Henrik Wiberg, who is a bike enthusiast and cognitive contortionist. Our conversation revolves around life choices, how perspective is everything and how to redefine goals as emergent phenomena instead of static finish lines. This is a good one, and a little longer, I really hope you'll enjoy it!

Today we're trying something a little different, not a straight forward interview bur rather a conversation about the bigger picture behind the Rubicon Challenge - the future itself. Aric and I try to walk you through our take on bigger concepts like urbanism, capitalism, and the future of work. We believe that a better world must start with better people, and that's how we see the Rubicon Challenge: as a way to help build better people. More resilient, happier and awake people.

Blurb: Today we're having a conversation with Hans Ahlgren, a friend and physician who also loves sports in any form. We're talking about getting to know and trust your body, hitting walls and overcoming obstacles, whatever shape they might come in. The journey towards the Rubicon will be unique to each one of us, but Hans will provide us with some overarching insights anyone can use.

Blurb: In this episode we'll meet Trevor O'Rourke, who is the word wizard within the Rubicon Challenge. Anything you read about us is most likely Trevors work. In our conversation we talk about his personal driving forces, how he feels about taking on the challenge as he hails from a long line of proud couch potatoes, and why it is important not only for himself but for everyone to make a change.
