In this episode of Keep Moving Forward I interview the Norwegian entrepreneurial sensation, Geir Ness.52 episodes ago we embarked on a journey together that I will certainly never forget and today we celebrate one full year of aspiring to keep moving forward. From Disney blog to entrepreneurship podcast, I hope that each guest I’ve had the privilege to speak with has inspired you to continuously move forward in pursuit of your passions. I want to thank you all for sticking with me and supporting my podcast for so long; I can’t wait to see what our future has in store.For my very first episode I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing a man who encapsulates not only the Disney spirit from which my podcast derives its name, but also a man who is the embodiment of the entrepreneurial spirit in its truest form. So it only seems fitting to bring us full circle and cap off this fantastic year in a follow up interview with the one and only, Geir Ness. From aspiring actor to internationally acclaimed entrepreneur, public speaker, and author, there is truly nothing Geir Ness can’t do. In our first discussion, exactly one year ago, Geir goes into detail about his journey and the determination and hard work it took to get him to where he is today. Gaining his initial explosion into fame through his cosmetics company, featuring the first-ever Norwegian perfume, Laila, Geir burst onto the scene with a refusal to give up. Since he sold his first bottle up until now, so many incredible opportunities have been presented to Geir because of his relentless pursuit to turn his dream into a successful business. One such chance presented itself in the form of working with Walt Disney World. Geir travels almost 300 days a year with the majority of that time spent in the Norway Pavilion in WDW’s EPCOT Center, in Disneyland over California, and on the Disney Cruise Line promoting his many products. Which brings me to yet another reason I asked Geir back on the show: a new fragrance recently released by Geir that captures the essence of the Disney film sensation Frozen. While his life is a whirlwind of adventure, Geir says he wouldn’t want to be doing anything else, because he loves the people he gets to meet. To have this incredible man on my show to wrap up one full year of hopefully inspiring you all to keep moving forward is such an honor. I’ve met him a number of times in Disney and he always greets me with a hug and as if we’ve been friends for years. Geir connects with every single person he comes in contact with and I know that you will gain incredible insight from what he has to offer. I hope that you enjoy my interview with the man who helped kick off my podcast, Geir Ness.

Join World Footprints as hosts Tonya and Ian explore the world of silence, the power of perfume and a new Burma. Imagine living for 17 years under a personal vow of silence. Our first guest, National Geographic author John Francis, did just that. After witnessing the devastating effects of the 1971 oil spill in San Francisco Bay, John embarked on a period of reflection that involved a 17 year long self-imposed silence and 22 years of walking. John’s incredible journey is chronicled in his book The Ragged Edge of Silence: Finding Peace in a Noisy World. Then, you will hear the extraordinary story of a self-made man from Norway, Geir Ness, and how he is leaving positive footprints through his multi-million dollar Laila Perfume Company. During our interview with Geir we spoke about his dear friend, 9-time New York City Marathon Champion Grete Weitz, with whom he joined forces to raise money for cancer research. We learned that Geir substituted for Grete in the 2009 NYC Marathon and raised nearly $300,000 for the Norway Cancer Society. Sadly, Grete lost her courageous battle with cancer the day immediately following our interview with Geir. We dedicate this show in Grete’s memory and to everyone whose lives have been affected by cancer. Finally, World Footprints welcomes back travel writer Cynthia Dial. Cynthia has recently returned from Burma (Myanmar) and she joins us to share some of her surprising experiences.
To kick-off the Keep Moving Forward podcast, I was privileged to interview the impressive entrepreneur, Geir Ness. For those of you who have ever visited Walt Disney World’s Norway Pavilion in Epcot Center, you know that the sweetest aroma to ever grace your nostrils exists within the walls of the country shop: the Puffin’s Roost. Disney fanatics immediately know that this scent belongs to the one and only Laila: the Essence of Norway, a perfume created by the entrepreneurial sensation himself: Geir Ness. However, for those of you who might not be completely familiar with his story, allow me to enlighten you. Geir grew up in Oslo, Norway, learning the values of hard work, perseverance, and discipline from the woman whose name with which Geir branded his company: his mother. She instilled within him the power that he could do anything that he set his mind to. With dreams of becoming an actor, Geir moved to Los Angeles, California in the hopes of starting his career. To pay the bills, he worked as a fragrance model in a department store. He was a huge hit, what with his accent, blonde hair, blue eyes, and muscular physique. Often, customers asked him where he was from and what scents came from his home country. Geir realized that Norway was not known for any perfume, and determined that he would change that. His inability to quit propelled him to the forefront of the cosmetics industry where his perfume is now featured in gift baskets at the Tony Awards, the Grammy’s, MTV Awards, Miss Universe, Miss Sport Football, and the Euro-Vision Song Contest. Of course, Laila is also featured in the Norway Pavilion in Epcot as well as on the Disney Cruise Line. Even though the Laila brand is now well-known and highly acclaimed, Geir remains feverishly dedicated and travels upwards of 285 days a year to promote his company. His tale is certainly one worth listening to, and I can’t thank him enough for his willingness to speak to me about his life story. I hope that you enjoy this exclusive interview with Mr. Geir Ness, the true essence of Norway. If you would like to take a look at his collection of products, head over to http://laila.com/.
