Friends,
I hope this newsletter finds you well.
This week, I'm sharing the first two clips from the podcast episode with Vagabjørn aka Jørn Bjørn Augestad. In 2019, at 29 years old, he became the youngest Norwegian to have visited every country in the world! He is a couch surfer, author of 2 books, speaker and off-the-beaten-path tour guide.
While on the topic of the podcast, I just booked Helge Ove Søndenaa Svendsen as the next guest. He has written the book "The Little, Big Tinder Cookbook - 21 Attempts at Love and Pancakes." The book is the result of a social experiment on Tinder that Helge started 10 years ago.
He has been concerned with love and dating for a long time, and what dating apps have done to us and society. In the book, Helge writes painfully and honestly about love, and offers the reader hope and motivation that makes you want to continue swiping and dating. On top of that, the reader gets some delicious pancake recipes, straight from Tinder!
Helge is a seasoned copywriter with a notable career at JCP PRAD in Oslo. He's known for his ability to blend traditional and digital advertising with interactive storytelling. Stay tuned for the first clips from our conversation in an upcoming newsletter.
I would also like to invite you to consider the difference between power and peace, and to understand yourself more deeply in order to better manage your relationships.
Let's get into it 🤿

Food-for-Thought
🧘 Power vs. Peace
Power relates to the ability to impact the world outside oneself, be it through political, economic, or personal influence. This can manifest in leaders or activists who shape policies or environments. However, the pursuit of external control often comes with challenges like resistance or unpredictability, potentially leading to stress or a sense of powerlessness when outcomes don't match intentions.
On the other hand, peace is about mastering one's internal state: managing emotions, maintaining mental clarity, and achieving self-acceptance. One might say that inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions. It's about cultivating resilience and contentment within, which may not change external conditions, but rather transforms how one experiences them.
