What’s it like living in Svalbard? This is not real life. Five months, the sun never sets. Five months, the sun never rises. A month where the world is washed in blue. A month where everything blushes pink. Light and dark stretched so thin they stop making sense. This

I help brands and business leaders tell their stories—better.
It’s a paradox—a concept that pulls me in two directions at once, like an anchor on a rope tethered to the very core of my being. It's a place we carry inside us, but also a place we're always searching for. Ever elusive — like

First things first, let's weed out the people who aren't prepared to be challenged and think critically with a quote from Jordan Peterson. “If you’re not a formidable force, there’s no morality in your self-control. Not being violent isn’t a virtue if you&
