On my way to and from work right now I’m listening to a Swedish Radio show called ‘Sommar'(Summer). Everyday starting on Midsummer day the 23rd of June until the 19th of August there’s a different host who between the hours of 1-2.30pm tell their story.
The hosts talk about a topic of their own choice accompanied with a selection of music that means something to them. It’s very personal, moving and inspiring and it’s had me well up quite a few times. This year’s hosts include amongst others Daniel Ek, CEO and one of the founders of Spotify and Anja Persson, the former alpine skier. The list is long and full of inspiring people. People I know who they are and people who until I listen to their program remain just a name. But they all have a story to tell and they do it really well. I’m absolutely hooked and I’m not alone. Wikipedia describes the show as:
…one of the most popular Swedish radio programs ever.
Some of the hosts have been particularly inspiring and as most of you who read these post are from outside of Sweden I’ve started collecting a few wisdoms and quotes that have stood out and resonated particularly with me. There is so much we can learn from others, even if we’re in completely different professions so I though that at the end of the summer I’ll pull together a post containing my favourite bits. Who they were, what they talked about and my key take outs.
If you want to have a peak at the full list of hosts it can be found on the Swedish Radio site
