  • Season 1 Ending - Final round-up with Wil (feat. Patrik Etelävuori )
    32 mins
  • Two Rowing Finns: 4,800 km across the Atlantic
    Jan 4 2021

    The final episode of Season 1 is ending with a great adventure!

    We meet Markus and Jolle who both have an extended track record when it comes to sailing around the world and participating in prestigious events such as the Whitbread Round the World Race.

    But this time their goal is to cross the Atlantic in a rowing boat. 24 hours a day by taking shifts. 2 hours on, two hours off for 40-50 days, adding up to 1,5 Million oar strokes. 

    Would YOU be up for it?

    The Top 5 key takeaways from their story:

    1. You don´t have to be the same as your friends or classmates. Come up with your own profile - think outside of the box. Be You!
    2. Share adventures with your friends. - it´s half of the fun!
    3. Adventures don’t always have to be huge and crazy but start with small things like taking a day off, backpacking across the shoreline of Helsinki, or having a cup of hot chocolate in the woods. 
    4. Try different things when it comes to sports and the profession. Don´t worry that the decisions you have taken at some point, are final for the rest of your life. You can always change things again.
    5. Nobody has superpowers. If you have a goal - be determined to reach it. Even if you fail from time to time - dust yourself off and try again. Try to combine different skills and focus them on one objective or around your project.

  • Luca Karl: Confessions of a professional athlete and swimmer
    Dec 21 2020

    In this episode we will meet Luca Karl, who is a professional athlete and swimmer, competing in 800m and 1500m freestyle. 
    Swimming has been an influential part of his life already during his early childhood days. Since then he kept moving from regional to national and finally international rankings, smashing records, and constantly improving on his performance.
    But none of this comes for free. It deserves extreme dedication, clearly set targets and goals as well as the energy to keep on pushing forward despite the fact that the training might be boring or your friends might be having a good time on Friday evening, joining a party. 
    An extremely inspirational story of a young professional athlete, who has found his Northstar.


    The Top 5 key takeaways from his story:

    1. If you are aiming to achieve big things it is probably good to wake up early every morning, smelling the coffee.
    2. Some sports practices can be very boring. Take it with a smile and fool around with your teammates from time to time in order to lighten up the spirit.
    3. Whatever you do in life - is it sports or business - set yourself a specific, clearly defined goal and work towards it. It will serve as Northstar and keep you on course during challenging times. 
    4. Don´t underestimate the power of visualization. Visualize the upcoming race, negotiation, speech, etc. as it will prepare you in the best possible way.
    5. Get away from social media from time to time. Just take a break. One example is to lie down on your bed for 10 minutes and briefly reflect on what has been good or bad during the day.
