Story Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede højt over København, og Tivoli Gardens summede af liv.En: The sun shone high over København and Tivoli Gardens buzzed with life.Da: Farverne dansede omkring, med karuseller, der svingede og snurrede, mens duften af nystegte pandekager fyldte luften.En: The colors danced around, with carousels swinging and spinning, while the scent of freshly fried pancakes filled the air.Da: Anders, Freja og Lars, tre gode venner, bevægede sig mellem de mange boder, ivrige efter en dag fyldt med sjov og latter.En: Anders, Freja, and Lars, three good friends, moved between the many stalls, eager for a day filled with fun and laughter.Da: Anders var spændt.En: Anders was excited.Da: Han elskede følelsen af adrenalin fra de vilde rutsjebaner og havde allerede en plan for dagen.En: He loved the feeling of adrenaline from the wild roller coasters and already had a plan for the day.Da: Freja gik ved hans side, altid klar til at bringe lidt ro i gruppen.En: Freja walked by his side, always ready to bring a bit of calm to the group.Da: Til trods for hendes ofte forsigtige tilbøjeligheder, nød hun virkelig dagen med sine venner – specielt Anders, selvom hun aldrig havde fået det sagt højt.En: Despite her often cautious inclinations, she truly enjoyed the day with her friends – especially Anders, although she had never said it out loud.Da: Lars fulgte med et bredt smil, hvis humor altid kunne lyse en grå dag op.En: Lars followed with a broad smile, whose humor could always brighten a gray day.Da: Men Lars havde en hemmelig fjende: hans allergi over for peanuts.En: But Lars had a secret enemy: his allergy to peanuts.Da: Da de gik forbi en bod, hvor der blev solgt nødder i alle former, bemærkede Lars dem ikke rigtigt.En: As they passed by a stall selling nuts of all kinds, Lars didn't really notice them.Da: Han tog en lille smagsprøve uden at tænke nærmere over det.En: He took a small sample without thinking much about it.Da: Kort efter begyndte bekymringen at skylle over Freja og Anders, da Lars' ansigt begyndte at hæve, og hans vejrtrækning blev besværet.En: Shortly after, worry began to wash over Freja and Anders, as Lars' face began to swell, and his breathing became labored.Da: Panikkens bølge ramte Anders hårdt.En: A wave of panic hit Anders hard.Da: I en brøkdel af et sekund gik det op for dem alle, at det var allergien, der truede med at ødelægge dagen – ja, måske mere end det.En: In a fraction of a second, it dawned on all of them that it was the allergy threatening to ruin the day – yes, maybe more than that.Da: Hurtigt sprang Anders ind i rollen som lederen, mens Freja tog sig af Lars.En: Quickly Anders jumped into the role of the leader, while Freja took care of Lars.Da: Hun forsøgte at holde ham rolig, mens hun tjekkede, hvad de havde af førstehjælpsmidler.En: She tried to keep him calm while checking what first aid supplies they had.Da: Anders løb gennem menneskemængden.En: Anders ran through the crowd.Da: Han kunne høre musikken, de skinger høje lyde fra skrigende børn og barnhjulernes raslende kæder.En: He could hear the music, the shrill high sounds from screaming children, and the rattling chains of the Ferris wheels.Da: Han ledte ivrigt efter en parkmedic.En: He was eagerly searching for a park medic.Da: Tiden føltes pludselig knap.En: Time suddenly felt short.Da: Da han så skiltet til det førstehjælpsområde, bredte lettelsen sig igennem ham.En: When he saw the sign for the first aid area, relief spread through him.Da: "Hjælp, hjælp!"En: "Help, help!"Da: råbte han, mens han vinkede vildt med armene og til sidst fik fat i en medic.En: he shouted, waving his arms wildly and finally grabbing the attention of a medic.Da: De løb tilbage til Lars, hvor Freja stadig kæmpede med at holde situationen under kontrol.En: They ran back to Lars, where Freja was still struggling to keep the situation under control.Da: Med en hurtig indsats fik medikken givet Lars præcis den hjælp, han havde brug for.En: With swift action, the medic gave Lars precisely the help he needed.Da: Langsomt faldt den forfærdelige hævelse bort, og hans vejrtrækning blev normal igen.En: Slowly, the terrible swelling subsided, and his breathing returned to normal.Da: Anders og Freja åndede lettet op.En: Anders and Freja breathed a sigh of relief.Da: Situationen havde været forfærdelig tæt på det uoprettelige.En: The situation had been frightfully close to irreparable.Da: Da angsten fra hændelsen langsomt fortog sig, stod vennerne tilbage med en ny forståelse.En: As the anxiety from the incident slowly faded, the friends were left with a new understanding.Da: Anders havde lært noget vigtigt om ansvar og hvor sårbar livet kan være.En: Anders had learned something important about responsibility and how vulnerable life can be.Da: Han lovede sig selv aldrig mere at undervurdere betydningen af at passe på dem, han holdt af.En: He promised himself never to underestimate the importance of taking care of those he cared about.Da: Freja lagde en hånd på Anders' skulder og sagde roligt: "Vi klarede det".En: Freja placed a hand on Anders' shoulder and said calmly, "We did it."Da: Lars, der nu følte sig meget bedre, smilede svagt og tilføjede: "Måske skulle jeg bare holde mig til pandekager næste gang."En: Lars, now feeling much better, smiled faintly and added, "Maybe I should just stick to pancakes next time."Da: Sammen fortsatte de deres dag, taknemmelige for at de havde hinanden og for at hele oplevelsen endte godt.En: Together they continued their day, grateful that they had each other and that the whole experience ended well.Da: Solen skinnede stadig over Tivoli Gardens, og mens de gik videre, vidste de, at deres bånd var blevet endnu stærkere.En: The sun still shone over Tivoli Gardens, and as they moved on, they knew their bond had become even stronger.

The TARDIS takes the Doctor and Freja to the planet Ampersand Thrax, and the site of a scientific outpost run by the HEF – the Human Expeditionary Force. They are on the edge of the known universe, trying to understand the science behind an ancient celestial body – a biosun – in the hope of ensuring the future of the human race. As the Doctor questions how much he can help and Freja investigates what's inside the life support room, the travellers make enemies both inside and out. The planet is inhabited by the Fer-Kyste, harpy-like creatures able to generate bursts of fire at will, and they resent humanity's presence on Ampersand Thrax. With only mechanised mining suits to defend themselves, the HEF are fighting a losing battle, under near-constant attack from these pyrokinetic aliens. But an expedition to their nest-city high in the mountains will change everything. As Freja struggles to keep her new friends alive long enough to complete their important mission, the Doctor is pushed to his limits as he must decide how far he is willing to go to save the lives of those who would see him dead and discover whether even he can survive the flame of the Fer-Kyste…

smiled, her curiosity satisfied.Da: Hun indså, at selvom hun elskede eventyr, var der værdi i forsigtighed.En: She realized that even though she loved adventure, there was value in caution.Da: Lars, der havde fulgt efter dem, så hele scenen udfolde sig og kunne mærke sin egen stivhed løsne lidt.En: Lars, who had followed them, watched the whole scene unfold and could feel his own rigidity loosen a bit.Da: Måske kunne eventyrlyst nogle gange føre til mere forståelse.En: Maybe a sense of adventure could sometimes lead to greater understanding.Da: Kufferten blev afleveret tilbage til Mikkel.En: The suitcase was returned to Mikkel.Da: Som solen begyndte at sænke sig over flyene derude, gik Freja videre, nu med en ny respekt for både nysgerrighed og forsigtighed.En: As the sun began to set over the planes outside, Freja moved on, now with a newfound respect for both curiosity and caution.Da: Lars, der så hende gå, vidste, at han også havde lært noget: at være lidt mere åben overfor det uventede.En: Lars, watching her leave, knew that he had also learned something: to be a bit more open to the unexpected.

old brick walls in the classroom.Da: Freja sad ved et af de kraftige træborde i klasselokalet og prøvede at undertrykke sommerfuglene i maven.En: Freja sat at one of the sturdy wooden tables in the classroom, trying to suppress the butterflies in her stomach.Da: Hun havde valgt et sted tæt på tavlen, klar til at notere det mindste ord fra underviseren.En: She had chosen a spot close to the blackboard, ready to jot down even the smallest word from the instructor.Da: Hun ønskede at imponere alle, især lærerne, for hun drømte om at være den bedste elev i klassen.En: She wanted to impress

tale om dagens gruppearbejdsprojekt.En: he mumbled, as the teacher began talking about the day's group project.Da: Freja skævede lidt tvivlsomt til ham.En: Freja glanced somewhat doubtfully at him.Da:

replies.Da: Hun var bange for, at arbejdet ville mislykkes, hvis Magnus ikke gik op i det.En: She was afraid the work would fail if Magnus didn't get involved.Da: Da fremlæggelsens tid kom, blev Freja mere og mere nervøs.En: As the presentation time came, Freja became more and more nervous.Da: Hun startede stærkt, men hendes stemme dirrede lidt.En: She started off strong, but her voice wavered a bit.Da: Pludselig stoppede Magnus hende midt i sætningen.En: Suddenly, Magnus interrupted her mid-sentence.Da: "Må jeg lige vise noget?"En: "May I just show something?"Da: spurgte han, med en helt

sammen."En: "I work best at the last minute," he said, "but I knew we could do well together."Da: Fra den dag lærte Freja at værdsætte forskellige arbejdsmåder.En: From that day, Freja learned to appreciate different working methods.Da: Ikke alle behøvede at være som hende for at lykkes.En: Not everyone needed to be like her to succeed.Da: Nogle gange kunne selv uventede stilarter bidrage til

samarbejdets magi.En: She went home with satisfaction over what the two had achieved together and a new understanding of the magic of collaboration.

Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede over de brostensbelagte gader i en charmerende bydel i København.En: The sun shone over the cobblestone streets in a charming neighborhood of København.Da: Farverige huse lå side om side, og sommerblomsterne hilste de forbipasserende velkommen i al deres pragt.En: Colorful houses stood side by side, and summer flowers greeted the passersby with all their splendor.Da: Kasper, en distræt forfatter med hovedet fuld af idéer, flanerede tankefuldt hen ad vejen iført blomstret pyjamas, der slet ikke passede sammen.En: Kasper, a distracted writer with his head full of ideas, strolled thoughtfully down the street wearing a floral pajama set that didn't match at all.Da: Det var ikke hans mest stilsikre øjeblik, men han havde brug for frisk luft til at klare tankerne.En: It wasn't his most stylish moment, but he needed fresh air to clear his mind.Da: Pludselig gik det op for ham: Han havde glemt sin nøgle inde i huset.En: Suddenly it dawned on him: He had forgotten his key inside the house.Da: Han standsede brat foran sin egen hoveddør og kiggede opgivende på den lukkede indgang.En: He stopped abruptly in front of his own front door and looked hopelessly at the closed entrance.Da: Katastrofen var en realitet.En: The catastrophe was real.Da: Men Kasper, som aldrig tabte modet, besluttede sig for at besøge Freja, hans kloge og skarpsindige nabo.En: But Kasper, who never lost heart, decided to visit Freja, his wise and astute neighbor.Da: Freja boede i et hyggeligt rødt hus med en dørklokke, der sang som en glad lille fugl, når nogen ringede på.En: Freja lived in a cozy red house with a doorbell that sang like a happy little bird when someone rang it.Da: Hun åbnede døren med et bredt smil.En: She opened the door with a broad smile.Da: "Hej, Kasper," sagde hun muntert.En: "Hi, Kasper," she said cheerfully.Da: "Hvad har du rodet dig ud i nu?"En: "What have you gotten yourself into now?"Da: Kasper rømmede sig og beskrev sin fæle situation.En: Kasper cleared his throat and described his dire situation.Da: Freja fnisede, men hendes øjne strålede af hjælpsomhed.En: Freja giggled, but her eyes shone with helpfulness.Da: "Jeg har en stige, men du må love mig én ting," drillede hun.En: "I have a ladder, but you must promise me one thing," she teased.Da: "Jeg får lov at drille dig med den pyjamas resten af mit liv."En: "I get to tease you about those pajamas for the rest of my life."Da: Kasper nikkede modstræbende.En: Kasper nodded reluctantly.Da: Det var hans værste mareridt at blive alment kendt for miseren, men han indså, at han havde brug for hjælp.En: It was his worst nightmare to become commonly known for his mishap, but he realized he needed help.Da: Freja hentede stigen med lethed, og de gik sammen hen til Kaspers hus.En: Freja fetched the ladder with ease, and they walked together to Kasper's house.Da: "Skal vi vente til det bliver mørkt?"En: "Should we wait until it's dark?"Da: foreslog Kasper med et nervøst blik på de nysgerrige naboer, der allerede havde bemærket dem.En: suggested Kasper with a nervous glance at the curious neighbors who had already noticed them.Da: "Nej, jeg tror det er bedst, vi gør det nu.En: "No, I think it's best we do it now.Da: Ellers ender du med et publikum til midnatsforestillingen," svarede Freja med et grin.En: Otherwise, you'll end up with an audience for the midnight show," replied Freja with a laugh.Da: Med stigen op mod huset satte Kasper forsigtigt foden på det nederste trin.En: With the ladder up against the house, Kasper carefully placed his foot on the bottom rung.Da: Han tog en dyb indånding.En: He took a deep breath.Da: Nu ændrede situationen sig fra pinlig til dramatisk.En: Now the situation shifted from embarrassing to dramatic.Da: Freja holdt stigen fast og kom med opmuntrende bemærkninger, mens Kasper bevægede sig opad.En: Freja held the ladder steady and offered encouraging comments as Kasper moved upward.Da: Pludselig stoppede Kasper midtvejs, frosset af rædsel, da han så en gruppe af naboer stoppe op for at kigge på.En: Suddenly, Kasper stopped halfway, frozen in terror, as he saw a group of neighbors pause to watch.Da: Han kunne mærke farven stige op i ansigtet.En: He could feel the color rise in his face.Da: Freja rakte en hånd op og sagde roligt, "Kom nu, Kasper, du klarer den fint!En: Freja reached up a hand and said calmly, "Come on, Kasper, you're doing fine!Da: Tænk på historien, du kan skrive om det her!"En: Think of the story you can write about this!"Da: Det var præcis den inspiration han havde brug for.En: It was exactly the inspiration he needed.Da: Kasper tog en dyb vejrtrækning og kravlede videre, indtil han nåede det åbne vindue.En: Kasper took a deep breath and continued to climb until he reached the open window.Da: Med lidt akrobatik og held lykkedes det ham at smutte ind i huset.En: With a bit of acrobatics and luck, he managed to slip into the house.Da: Freja stod nedenfor og klappede i sine hænder.En: Freja stood below, clapping her hands.Da: "Bravo, Kasper!"En: "Bravo, Kasper!"Da: Kasper kiggede ud ad vinduet og vinkede klodset.En: Kasper looked out the window and waved awkwardly.Da: "Tak, Freja!En: "Thanks, Freja!Da: Jeg må huske en ekstra nøgle hos dig i fremtiden."En: I'll have to leave a spare key with you in the future."Da: Naboerne udbrød en lille klapsalve, deres nysgerrighed forvandlet til accept.En: The neighbors gave a small round of applause, their curiosity transformed into acceptance.Da: Kaspers pinlige situation blev en uventet triumf.En: Kasper's embarrassing situation became an unexpected triumph.Da: Fra den dag var Kasper aldrig mere uden en ekstra nøgle, og hans venskab med Freja blev stærkere for hver drilagtig reminder om den dag i blomstret pyjamas.En: From that day, Kasper never went without a spare key again, and his friendship with Freja grew stronger with each teasing reminder of that day in floral pajamas.Da: Han lærte

sin ven.En: Freja looked at her friend with concern.Da: "Søren, vi skal tage det roligt.En: "Søren, we need to take it easy.Da: Det er ekstremt varmt," sagde hun og rakte ham en vandflaske.En: It's

heat crept in.Da: Søren begyndte at føle sig svimmel, men pressede på.En: Søren began to feel dizzy but pushed on.Da: De nåede et højt udsigtspunkt, hvor udsigten ud over templet næsten tog hans ånde fra ham, bogstaveligt talt.En: They reached a high vantage point where the view over the temple nearly took his breath away, literally.Da: Pludselig vaklede han og faldt om.En: Suddenly, he wobbled

learned.Da: Hun koldede hans pande med vand.En: She cooled his forehead with water.Da: Katrine løb straks ned ad trappen for at finde hjælp, hendes hjerte hamrede.En: Katrine immediately ran down the

När vi talar om vikingatiden tänker många på Oden, Freja, Idun, Tor och andra gudar och gudinnor. Men nordborna kom tidigt i kontakt med kristendomen vid resor till romarriket där kristendomen blev statsreligion redan i slutet på 300-talet. Kyrkor byggs under hela vikingatiden. Munken Ansgar kom till Sverige på 800-talet och grundade en kristen församling i staden Birka. Kristnandet är en process som tar många hundra år men det finns få skriftliga källor som berättar om hur det gick till i Sverige. Det är på kyrkogårdarna vi får leta efter spåren av den nya religionen. Historia Nu Dok är podden som går på djupet i historien. Detta är fjärde och sista delen av Historia Nu Dok – Vikingen i världen, som görs i samarbete med förlaget Historiska Media. Programledaren är Kristina Ekerö Eriksson, journalist och arkeolog som har skrivit böcker om vikingatiden och tiden före vikingatiden. I den här dokumentärserien i fyra delar undersöker hon tillsammans med journalisten Urban Lindstedt, vad som tog åt nordborna i slutet av 700-talet. Vikingen uppstår i skuggan av det kristna Europa och försvinner på sätt och vis när kristendomen når norrut. Och det är för att kristendomen medförde helt nya sätt att organisera samhället, ersatte gamla kulturella riter med helt andra och skapade nya relationer till resten av Europa. Under tusentals år hade nordborna begravt sina döda intill sina gårdar, och så fortsatte de nyfrälsta vikingarna att göra. Brandgravar och skelettgravar finns intill varandra på gårdsgravfälten. Men så småningom började man begrava de döda på kyrkogårdar. Ett annat tecken på att vikingar är kristna är runstenarna, som började resas i massor under slutet av vikingatiden. Runstenar finns i de flesta landskap, men särskilt i Uppland där vi räknar 2500 runristningar och Södermanland där det finns 400 runstenar. Ofta är de prydda med kors eller försedda med en kristen bön, som kan avlutas med orden ”Gud hjälpe hans ande och själ”, eller ”Gud hjälpe hans ande och själ bättre än han förtjänade”. Prästerskapet organiserades för att sprida och upprätthålla den kristna tron. Socknar och församlingar bildades runt om i landet och kyrkorna blev centrum för religiöst liv och sociala aktiviteter. Då var vikingens tid över Med kristendomen kom en europeisk medeltida kultur till Norden och vi blev en integrerad del av Europa.

Transcript:Da: Tivoli Gardens summede af liv.En: Tivoli Gardens buzzed with life.Da: Det var en varm sommeraften, og luften var fyldt med duften af kandiserede mandler og lyden af glade grin.En: It was a warm summer evening, and the air was filled with the scent of candied almonds and the sound of happy laughter.Da: Farverne omkring var levende og næsten som i en drøm.En: The colors around were vivid and almost dream-like.Da: Mikkel og Freja gik side om side, lidt nervøse men spændte.En: Mikkel and Freja walked side by side, a little nervous but excited.Da: Mikkel havde haft en plan.En: Mikkel had a plan.Da: Han ville tage Freja med på den romantiske bådtur langs Tivoli Sø, måske vinde en bamse til hende i et spil og afslutte aftenen med is under stjernerne.En: He wanted to take Freja on a romantic boat ride along Tivoli Sø, maybe win her a teddy bear in a game and end the evening with ice cream under the stars.Da: Men Freja havde en anden ting i tankerne.En: But Freja had something else in mind.Da: Der var et mysterium, hun havde hørt om fra sin onkel.En: There was a mystery she had heard about from her uncle.Da: Noget mystisk var sket i Tivoli for år tilbage.En: Something mysterious had happened in Tivoli years ago.Da: "Har du hørt om den gamle skattejagt i Tivoli?"En: "Have you heard about the old treasure hunt in Tivoli?"Da: spurgte Freja pludseligt.En: Freja suddenly asked.Da: Mikkel kiggede på hende, lige dele forvirret og nysgerrig.En: Mikkel looked at her, equally confused and curious.Da: "Der skulle være en ledetråd gemt i den gamle labyrint," sagde hun med glitrende øjne.En: "There's supposed to be a clue hidden in the old maze," she said with sparkling eyes.Da: Mikkel tøvede.En: Mikkel hesitated.Da: Han ville så gerne imponere hende, og en skattejagt med en ukendt fare lød ikke som den perfekte date.En: He wanted so much to impress her, and a treasure hunt with unknown danger didn't sound like the perfect date.Da: Alligevel, Frejas entusiasme var smittende.En: Still, Freja's enthusiasm was contagious.Da: "Okay," sagde han til sidst.En: "Okay," he said finally.Da: "Lad os se, hvad vi kan finde."En: "Let's see what we can find."Da: De gik mod labyrinten.En: They headed toward the maze.Da: De snoede sig gennem de hækkevægge, og Freja studerede hvert hjørne og hver skygge.En: They wound through the hedge walls, and Freja studied every corner and every shadow.Da: Overalt omkring dem fortsatte Tivolis liv og glade lyde, men inde i labyrinten blev det hele lidt mere stille, lidt mere spændende.En: All around them, Tivoli's life and joyful sounds continued, but inside the maze, everything became a bit quieter, a bit more thrilling.Da: Pludselig stødte Freja ind i noget.En: Suddenly, Freja bumped into something.Da: Det var en lille trææske, halvt skjult i jorden.En: It was a small wooden box, half-buried in the ground.Da: Hun tog den op og åbnede låget.En: She picked it up and opened the lid.Da: Indeni lå et gammelt, falmet kort.En: Inside was an old, faded map.Da: "Dette må være det!"En: "This must be it!"Da: udbrød hun.En: she exclaimed.Da: Kortet viste en hemmelig rute til en skjult skat i hjertet af Tivoli.En: The map showed a secret route to a hidden treasure in the heart of Tivoli.Da: Mikkels hjerte bankede hurtigt.En: Mikkel's heart raced.Da: Dette var ikke, hvad han havde forventet, men deres jagt var spændende.En: This was not what he had expected, but their quest was exhilarating.Da: Han kunne mærke andrenalinet suse i hans krop.En: He could feel the adrenaline rushing through his body.Da: Han kiggede på Freja.En: He looked at Freja.Da: Hendes øjne strålede mere end nogensinde.En: Her eyes shone more brightly than ever.Da: "Skal vi?"En: "Shall we?"Da: spurgte han.En: he asked.Da: Freja nikkede begejstret.En: Freja nodded excitedly.Da: De fulgte kortet, der førte dem gennem de snævre stier og til sidst til en forsænket lysning, hvor en gammel kiste gemte på en håndfuld symbolske skatte – intet af monetær værdi, men fuld af eventyr og historie.En: They followed the map, which led them through the narrow paths and finally to a sunken clearing where an old chest hid a handful of symbolic treasures—nothing of monetary value, but full of adventure and history.Da: Aftenen endte ikke, som Mikkel havde planlagt, men eventyret bragte dem tættere sammen.En: The evening didn't end as Mikkel had planned, but the adventure brought them closer together.Da: Mikkel lærte at give slip på kontrol, omfavne det ukendte.En: Mikkel learned to let go of control, to embrace the unknown.Da: Freja fik smagen af eventyr, men hun indså også, hvor vigtigt det er at dele disse øjeblikke med nogen, der tænker på hende.En: Freja got a taste of adventure, but she also realized how important it is to share these moments with someone who cares about her.Da: Som de forlod Tivoli den nat, med de levende farver stadig glimtende bag dem, vidste begge, at de lige

altid midtpunkt for opmærksomheden.En: Søren, Freja's younger brother, was always the center of attention.Da: Han elskede sjov og eventyr og ønskede at inddrage alle – især sin ældre, mere tilbagetrukne søster.En: He loved fun and adventure and wanted to include everyone—especially his older, more reserved sister.Da: "Freja, kom, vi mangler dig til vikingegolf!"En: "Freja, come, we need you for viking golf!"Da: råbte Søren ivrigt.En: shouted Søren eagerly.Da: Freja sukkede lidt, men vidste, at hun måtte hjælpe med at sætte picnicen op, før hun kunne stikke af til sit eget hjørne af paradis.En: Freja sighed a little but knew she had to help set up the picnic before she could sneak away to her own corner of paradise.Da: Tiden gik, og tæpper blev lagt ud, kurve blev åbnet, og snart duftede luften af nybagt brød og friskfangede fisk.En: Time passed, blankets were laid out, baskets opened, and soon the air smelled of freshly baked bread and freshly caught fish.Da: Da de endelig var sat, med en undskyldning om at skulle tjekke noget, sneg Freja sig væk mod de mere isolerede klippeformationer.En: When they were finally settled, with an excuse to check something, Freja snuck away toward the more isolated rock formations.Da: Her, omgivet af bølgernes brusen, fandt hun sin plads.En: Here, surrounded by the roar of the waves, she found her spot.Da: Hun satte sig stille og tog sin kikkert frem.En: She sat quietly and took out her binoculars.Da: Hendes hjerte sprang ved synet af en sjælden havørn, majestætisk og stolt, der kredsede højt over hende.En: Her heart leaped at the sight of a rare sea eagle, majestic and proud, circling high above her.Da: I sin iver fordybede hun sig i dette magiske øjeblik, men i et øjebliks glæde kaldte hun på sin bror for at få del i synet.En: In her excitement, she got caught up in this magical moment, but in a moment of joy, she called for her brother to share in the sight.Da: "Søren!En: "Søren!Da: Se, se der!"En: Look, look there!"Da: råbte hun og glemte for en kort stund sin trang til isolation.En: she shouted, forgetting for a brief moment her urge for isolation.Da: Søren's nysgerrighed udløste en kædereaktion.En: Søren's curiosity triggered a chain reaction.Da: Hele familien rejste sig, greb deres kikkerter og strømmede hen mod Frejas sted.En: The whole family got up, grabbed their binoculars, and streamed toward Freja's spot.Da: Freja så til, bange for at de ville skræmme fuglen væk.En: Freja watched, afraid they would scare the bird away.Da: Men til hendes overraskelse satte de sig lydløst ved siden af hende.En: But to her surprise, they sat down quietly beside her.Da: Sammen, næsten åndeløse, delte de synet af havørnen.En: Together, almost breathless, they shared the sight of the sea eagle.Da: Øjeblikket blev et, hvor stilhed talte højere end ord.En: The moment became one where silence spoke louder than words.Da: Freja følte en ny forståelse vokse i sig.En: Freja felt a new understanding grow within her.Da: Måske kunne hendes familie være en del af denne skønhed, uden at den blev ødelagt.En: Perhaps her family could be part of this beauty without ruining it.Da: Da havørnen til sidst svævede væk, blev hun siddende og følte en uventet varme risle gennem sig.En: When the sea eagle finally soared away, she remained seated, feeling an unexpected warmth trickle through her.Da: I løbet af eftermiddagen gik de roligt tilbage til picnicen.En: Throughout the afternoon, they walked calmly back to the picnic.Da: Fuglene fløj rundt dem, og Freja smilede til Søren, som om hun havde fundet en dybere forbindelse til både naturen og sin familie.En: Birds flew around them, and Freja smiled at Søren, as if she had found a deeper connection to both nature and her family.Da: Midt i latteren og den stille forening havde hun fundet balancen mellem sine ønsker og familiens kærlighed.En: Amidst the laughter and quiet unity, she had found the balance between her desires and her family's love.

Because your business is only as strong as your team - it really shouldn't be this hard — but it is...So let's make it a little easier!Over the past few years, I've become increasingly frustrated at just how HARD it is for founders to find the right people for their business.There are fewer applicants than there used to be for roles in sales and marketing in CPG businessesIt's even tougher to find that magic mix of mindset, experience and soft skills— as well as someone who genuinely fits your culture and values.And the process? It's a lot: search, connect, schedule, first interviews, follow-ups, feedback loops — all while juggling a scaling business — and you STILL might not end up with the right person.It struck me that so many of the incredible guests on Brand Growth Heroes have shared absolute gold when it comes to building teams — how they hire, how they lead, and what they've learned when it all goes wrong.So the brilliant crew at MKJ Ignite - Billy, Paul and Immy, have gone through the Brand Growth Heroes archives and handpicked some snippets from the founders of your favourite challenger brands (think Olipop, Freja Bone Broth, Child's Farm, Perfect Ted and Tony's Chocolonely), pulling out the best people insights.  And as a result....BGH SHORTS: The People Series was born!Short 5 min episodes. Golden nuggets. Actionable insights Every 2 weeks, we'll drop a new 5-minute clip - so don't forget to HIT FOLLOW! If you're wondering whether or not you need help with your recruitment, or would like to ask for some advice, you can book a no-obligation call with Billy - or anyone on the team - here!Connect with Billy Maddock on LinkedInConnect with Immy Southwell on LinkedInConnect with Paul Jones on LinkedInFollow MKJ Ignite on InstagramConnect with MKJ Ignite on LinkedIn
