  IDBM Nordic Rebels videos (recommended!)

  1. In this video, Katharina talks to Emilia, who highlights the importance of honoring yourself. She also touches on the Finnish notion of “sisu”, and how you can become the hero of your own life. Starting on an intense journey like this IDBM Challenge, you get deeply focused on the wicked problems you’re tackling. Emilia provides a gentle reminder at the start of this journey that you have to take care of yourself too. 
     
  2. In this episode, Katharina and Esa Saarinen talk about teams, courage, compassion and living the good life. It can often be a challenge to take on wicked problems, while working with new people from a variety of backgrounds and in a new environment. So how do you ensure you keep an open mind and work effectively together? Esa provides his perspective on how to navigate this. 
     
  3. In this episode, Katharina had a chat with Paul D. Savage about authenticity and meaningful. The talk is all about the agency to choose what kind of meaning we give to events, things, and people.
