Podcasts about Mikkel

Mikkel deMib Svendsen is a SEO Legend. One of the original SEOs, Mikkel was known around early search conferences as the man in the bright orange suit. His almost adversarial take on Google in the early days set a tone and standard for how SEOs felt about working with the search engines in a friendly game of cat and mouse. Mikkel has continued practicing SEO while pursuing several other life passions, including a highly successful side-career as a potter and pottery instructor on YouTube where he has a popular channel. He has also released a massive and highly comprehensive SEO Master Course. We caught up with Mikkel in late March 2025 and got this interview. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/webcology/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hekkingen fyr har en lang historie som strekker seg lenger tilbake enn selve fyret. Før det ble bygget i 1859, fungerte stedet som losstasjon i det såkalte «Nordafjeldske». Losene konkurrerte om å komme først ut til seilskutene som nærmet seg Malangsfjorden – et kappløp som kunne sikre mat og inntekt for en hel uke.Vi blir med fyrforvalter Kjell Ove Hveding. I forrige episode fortelte han at hans tipp-tipp-tipp-oldefar, Mikkel Hansen – kalt «Mikkel-los» – holdt til i en steinhytte ved dagens fyrstasjon. Den hytta ble senere brukt som oljelager etter at fyret kom i drift.Økende skipstrafikk og Tromsøs vekst som handelsby førte til behovet for et fyr. Den første fyrvokteren, Le Maire fra Danmark(også kjent for å ha bygget Andenes Fyr), kom med petroleumsbrennere og hadde ansvar for byggingen. Han trivdes så godt at han sendte telegram hjem: «Kommer ikke hjem».Historien rommer også tragedier. I 1871 druknet fyrvokter Bernt Olsen da han forsøkte å komme seg hjem i dårlig vær. Datteren Karen, som så ulykken, tok midlertidig over stillingen. I 1904 mistet også postfører Paul Everland livet på vei fra fyret.Etter hvert som seil ble byttet ut med damp, ble losvirksomheten i området redusert. Losene fikk en plass i utkanten av fyret, men måtte sove i «oljekjelleren» siden det ikke var plass inne hos fyrfamilien.Også livet som fyrassistent var krevende. Julius, som bodde på andre siden av øya, måtte gå i all slags vær til fyret – og betalte til og med for å overnatte. Han beskrev dagen familien flyttet fra øya i 1966 som den beste i sitt liv.

Story Transcript:Da: I foråret, da København begyndte at blomstre op, og glæden ved påsken fyldte luften, stod Freja foran en udfordring.En: In the spring, when København began to bloom, and the joy of Easter filled the air, Freja faced a challenge.Da: Hun var en ung kunstner med ambitioner og drømme, der rakte langt ud over lærrederne i hendes lille studie.En: She was a young artist with ambitions and dreams that reached far beyond the canvases in her small studio.Da: På sin vej gennem byen med sin bror Mikkel og deres ven Lars, opdagede Freja en gammel, forladt lagerbygning i udkanten af byen.En: On her way through the city with her brother Mikkel and their friend Lars, Freja discovered an old, abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.Da: Stedet virkede perfekt til hendes idé om en hemmelig kunstudstilling.En: The place seemed perfect for her idea of a secret art exhibition.Da: Huset stod halvmørkt, med solstråler der dansede gennem de knuste ruder og kastede skygger på det støvede betongulv.En: The building was dimly lit, with sunbeams dancing through the broken windows and casting shadows on the dusty concrete floor.Da: Rustikke og industrielle elementer fra fortiden skabte den perfekte baggrund til Frejas moderne kunstværker.En: Rustic and industrial elements from the past created the perfect backdrop for Freja's modern artworks.Da: "Det er perfekt!"En: "It's perfect!"Da: udbrød Freja, da hun kiggede sig omkring.En: exclaimed Freja as she looked around.Da: Mikkel, hendes bror, var dog mere forsigtig.En: Mikkel, her brother, was more cautious.Da: "Men hvad hvis vi ikke må være her?En: "But what if we're not allowed to be here?Da: Hvad hvis ejeren kommer?"En: What if the owner comes?"Da: spurgte han, bekymret over de mulige konsekvenser.En: he asked, worried about the possible consequences.Da: Lars stod ved siden af, grinende og optimistisk som altid.En: Lars stood beside them, grinning and optimistic as always.Da: "Kom nu Mikkel, det her bliver fantastisk.En: "Come on, Mikkel, this is going to be amazing.Da: Forvandlingen af dette sted vil imponere alle!"En: Transforming this place will impress everyone!"Da: sagde han.En: he said.Da: Frejas beslutsomhed lyste.En: Freja's determination shone brightly.Da: Hun ville skabe en oplevelse, som ingen havde set før.En: She wanted to create an experience nobody had seen before.Da: Men de vidste også, at nogen stadig brugte lageret til opbevaring.En: But they also knew that someone still used the warehouse for storage.Da: Planen var risikabel.En: The plan was risky.Da: "Vi kan spørge ejeren om lov," foreslog Mikkel.En: "We could ask the owner for permission," suggested Mikkel.Da: "Måske bliver han glad for vores idé."En: "Maybe he'll like our idea."Da: Freja tøvede.En: Freja hesitated.Da: Det var en mulighed, men hvad hvis han sagde nej?En: It was a possibility, but what if he said no?Da: Det kunne ødelægge hele hendes drøm.En: It could ruin her entire dream.Da: Dagene fløj af sted, og trioen arbejdede hårdt i den gamle bygning.En: The days flew by, and the trio worked hard in the old building.Da: Påsken nærmede sig, og alt var klart til udstillingen.En: Easter was approaching, and everything was ready for the exhibition.Da: Freja mærkede både excitement og nervøsitet.En: Freja felt both excitement and nervousness.Da: På selve aftenen, mens gæsterne ankom en efter en, hørtes lyde udenfor.En: On the very evening, as guests arrived one by one, sounds were heard outside.Da: Det lød, som om nogen var ved at opdage deres hemmelighed.En: It seemed as if someone was about to discover their secret.Da: Pludselig åbnede hoveddøren, og en ældre mand trådte indenfor.En: Suddenly, the main door opened, and an older man stepped inside.Da: Det var ejeren.En: It was the owner.Da: Freja holdt vejret, mens Mikkel og Lars udvekslede bekymrede blikke.En: Freja held her breath, while Mikkel and Lars exchanged worried glances.Da: Manden gik rundt i lokalet, studerede kunstværkerne og de fremmødte.En: The man walked around the room, studying the artworks and the attendees.Da: Til sidst vendte han sig mod Freja.En: Finally, he turned to Freja.Da: "Dette er fantastisk," sagde han med et smil.En: "This is fantastic," he said with a smile.Da: "Jeg kan lide jeres mod og kreativitet.En: "I like your courage and creativity.Da: Lad os se, hvad jeg kan gøre for at hjælpe jer med at fremme jeres udstilling."En: Let's see what I can do to help you promote your exhibition."Da: Freja åndede lettet op.En: Freja breathed a sigh of relief.Da: Hendes mod havde båret frugt, og hun havde lært noget nyt om sig selv.En: Her courage had paid off, and she had learned something new about herself.Da: Hun kunne nu nemmere tale med dem, der kunne hjælpe hende videre.En: She could now more easily talk to those who could help her move forward.Da: Med ejeren på deres side blev udstillingen et hit, og Freja fik den anerkendelse, hun havde drømt om.En: With the owner on their side, the exhibition became a hit, and Freja received the recognition she had dreamed of.Da: Det var en aften fyldt med kunst, latter og en ny forståelse af, at det at tage chancer nogle gange belønner sig.En: It was an evening filled with art, laughter, and a new understanding that taking chances sometimes pays off.Da: Frejas tillid til sig selv voksede, og der, i skyggerne af den rustikke lagerbygning, tog hendes karriere et nyt skridt fremad.En: Freja's confidence in herself grew, and there, in the shadows of the rustic warehouse, her career took a new step forward.

Kan iværksætterne redde Vesten? Måske det ikke er statskundskabens klassiske værker, vi må gå til, for at forstå Vesten politisk i dag. Måske det i virkeligheden er Silicon Valleys lingo og iværksætternes magt, man bør studere, hvis vi skal forstå Elon Musks alliance med Trump eller Bruxelles' ønske om innovation i Europa. I denne udgave af RÆSONs nye podcast Lille Land, Hvorhen? taler Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen med Anders Theis Bolman, ph.d. studerende på CBS, om, hvordan Silicon Valleys iværksætterparadigme påvirker de vigtigste beslutninger i Vesten.

Vi kan godt afsløre at Thorsmark ikke er fan af Mikkel. En lille sag, som har skabt undring på redaktionen, er reklamemanden og Vestre-rådgiver Steffen Hjaltelins opråb på LinkedIn. Reklamemanden er tosset over biludlejningsfirmaet Sixt's kundeservice og behandling af ham efter et uheld med en bil fra Sixt i kæmpe uvejr i Schweiz. Mikkel Lind SorgenfreyMartin Martensen-LarsenAnna Thygesen

en familiehemmelighed, der havde været gemt af frygt for misforståelse.En: Their discussion became intense, but eventually Lars opened up about the truth—a family secret that had been hidden out of fear of misunderstanding.Da: Freja lyttede med tårer i øjnene, hendes forståelse for familien voksede med hver sætning, Lars delte.En: Freja listened with tears in her eyes, her understanding of the family growing with each sentence Lars shared.Da: Da de endelig rejste sig fra bordet, følte Freja en varm forbindelse til både sin historie og til Lars.En: When they finally rose from the table, Freja felt a warm connection to both her history and to Lars.Da: "Tak," hviskede hun, da de sagde farvel.En: "Thank you," she whispered as they said goodbye.Da: Den gamle bys liv kogte videre omkring dem, men Frejas verden var blevet dybere og rigere.En: The old city's life continued to bustle around them, but Freja's world had become deeper and richer.Da: Med et nyt perspektiv på sin families arv gik Freja tilbage gennem markedet.En: With a new perspective on her family's legacy, Freja walked back through the market.Da: Påskens farverige glæde virkede nu som en passende kulisse for den fornyede fred, hun havde fundet.En: Easter's colorful joy now seemed like an appropriate backdrop for the renewed peace she had found.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: København Connections: A Tale of Art and Self-Discovery Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-03-23-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Det var en mild forårsdag i København.En: It was a mild spring day in København.Da: Solen skinnede over byen, og en let brise sendte bølger hen over vandet ved havnen.En: The sun was shining over the city, and a gentle breeze sent waves across the water at the harbor.Da: Ved Den Lille Havfrue statuen, siddende på sin granitsten, sad hun roligt og så ud over havet, mens mange turister samlede sig omkring for at tage billeder.En: By Den Lille Havfrue statue, sitting on her granite stone, she sat calmly, looking out over the sea, while many tourists gathered around to take pictures.Da: Blandt de mange besøgende stod Mikkel.En: Among the many visitors stood Mikkel.Da: Han var en ung kunstner med et tænksomt blik i øjnene.En: He was a young artist with a pensive look in his eyes.Da: Han havde været her før, altid på jagt efter inspiration.En: He had been here before, always in search of inspiration.Da: Denne dag føltes anderledes.En: This day felt different.Da: Der var en uro i hans sind, et kreativt vakuum, han ikke kunne bryde fri fra.En: There was a restlessness in his mind, a creative vacuum he couldn't break free from.Da: Han kiggede ud mod havfruen, men hans tanker var et andet sted.En: He looked out towards the mermaid, but his thoughts were elsewhere.Da: Astrid, en nysgerrig rejsende, stod også der og betragtede statuen.En: Astrid, a curious traveler, was also there observing the statue.Da: Hun var på en rejse for at finde mening, en indre opdagelse, men hele byen føltes fremmed for hende.En: She was on a journey to find meaning, an inner discovery, but the whole city felt foreign to her.Da: Hun følte sig isoleret, som en skabning uden retning.En: She felt isolated, like a creature without direction.Da: Deres øjne mødtes tilfældigt gennem folkemængden.En: Their eyes met accidentally through the crowd.Da: Mikkel lod et venligt smil glide over sit ansigt, og Astrid svarede med et forsigtigt nik.En: Mikkel let a friendly smile come over his face, and Astrid responded with a cautious nod.Da: De begyndte at tale, først om vejret, senere om kunsten og rejsen.En: They began to talk, first about the weather, later about art and travel.Da: Ordene flød let mellem dem som vandet mod kysten.En: The words flowed easily between them like water against the shore.Da: "Jeg kæmper med at finde inspiration," tilstod Mikkel.En: "I struggle to find inspiration," confessed Mikkel.Da: "Jeg ser på havfruen, men alt virker gråt og fladt i mit hoved."En: "I look at the mermaid, but everything seems gray and flat in my head."Da: Astrid tænkte et øjeblik og sagde så: "Jeg rejser for at finde mening, men det føles som om jeg er gået vild i mine egne skridt."En: Astrid thought for a moment and then said, "I travel to find meaning, but it feels like I've lost my way in my own steps."Da: Deres ægte åbenhed skabte en forbindelse.En: Their genuine openness created a connection.Da: Som deres samtale udviklede sig, opdagede de, hvordan deres forskellige synsvinkler kunne hjælpe hinanden.En: As their conversation developed, they discovered how their different perspectives could help each other.Da: Mikkel så pludselig byen gennem Astrids nysgerrige øjne, fuld af liv og farve.En: Mikkel suddenly saw the city through Astrid's curious eyes, full of life and color.Da: Astrid, på sin side, begyndte at se sin rejse som mere end bare flakkende skridt; det blev en rejse med mål og betydning.En: Astrid, for her part, began to see her journey as more than just wandering steps; it became a journey with purpose and meaning.Da: "Hvad nu hvis vi udforsker mere af København sammen?"En: "What if we explore more of København together?"Da: foreslog Mikkel til sidst.En: suggested Mikkel eventually.Da: Der var noget forfriskende ved tanken.En: There was something refreshing about the thought.Da: Astrid nikkede ivrigt.En: Astrid nodded eagerly.Da: "Jeg ville elske det."En: "I would love that."Da: Sådan startede et nyt kapitel mellem dem.En: Thus began a new chapter between them.Da: Mens de gik gennem byens brostensbelagte gader, delte de små glæder og dybe samtaler.En: As they walked through the city's cobbled streets, they shared small joys and deep conversations.Da: Mikkel fyldte sin skitsebog med nye billeder, mens Astrid mærkede en stigende glæde ved hver opdagelse.En: Mikkel filled his sketchbook with new images, while Astrid felt a growing joy with each discovery.Da: Ved dagens afslutning havde de begge fundet noget værdifuldt.En: By the end of the day, they both had found something valuable.Da: Mikkel kunne ikke bare se byens skønhed, men også føle den.En: Mikkel could not only see the beauty of the city but also feel it.Da: Astrid havde ikke fundet en slutdestination, men hun havde genopdaget selve rejsens skønhed.En: Astrid hadn't found an end destination, but she had rediscovered the beauty of the journey itself.Da: Sammen gik de videre, to sjæle, som fandt trøst og inspiration i hinanden.En: Together they moved forward, two souls finding comfort and inspiration in each other.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Rebuilding Hope: A School in the Ruins of Silence Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-03-22-22-34-01-da Story Transcript:Da: I en verden der engang var fyldt med liv og lyde, herskede der nu stilhed og ruiner.En: In a world that was once filled with life and sounds, there now ruled silence and ruins.Da: Vågnede foråret stille til live mens solens lys trængte sig vej gennem de mørke skyer.En: Spring quietly came to life as the sunlight pushed its way through the dark clouds.Da: Desværre var ikke alt nyttigt.En: Unfortunately, not everything was useful.Da: Ruinerne strakte sig over den forladte by, med visne blomster, der nænnede at blomstre mellem sprækkerne i asfalten.En: The ruins stretched across the abandoned city, with wilted flowers daring to bloom between the cracks in the asphalt.Da: En gammel skole lyste svagt op ved kanten af byen.En: An old school faintly lit up on the edge of the city.Da: Her begyndte Kasper sin daglige rute, men denne gang, med en plan i tankerne.En: Here, Kasper began his daily routine, but this time, with a plan in mind.Da: Han gabte ved synet af biblioteket, skjult bag slyngplanterne.En: He yawned at the sight of the library, hidden behind the climbing plants.Da: Skolen lignede et tilflugtssted fra en glemt tid.En: The school looked like a refuge from a forgotten time.Da: Med sin lillebror Mikkel ved sin side, gik de fast fremad.En: With his little brother Mikkel by his side, they moved steadily forward.Da: Verden udenfor var farlig, men indenfor de mure lå et håb om en ny begyndelse.En: The world outside was dangerous, but within those walls lay a hope for a new beginning.Da: Freja, den livlige og evigt optimistiske leder, havde allerede fundet vej derhen.En: Freja, the lively and ever-optimistic leader, had already found her way there.Da: "Godt at se jer!"En: "Good to see you!"Da: råbte hun over de knirkende gulvbrædder.En: she shouted over the creaking floorboards.Da: Hendes blå øjne glimtede med energi.En: Her blue eyes sparkled with energy.Da: Hun havde noget i ærmet, noget der kunne skabe en lille ø af normalitet i det kaos, der omgav dem.En: She had something up her sleeve, something that could create a small island of normality in the chaos surrounding them.Da: "Vi starter en skole her," sagde Kasper bestemt og kiggede mod Mikkel, der allerede sad og kiggede i en fortryllende bog om dyrenes verden.En: "We're starting a school here," Kasper said firmly, looking at Mikkel, who was already sitting and looking in an enchanting book about the animal world.Da: Freja nikkede ivrigt igen, klar til at hjælpe.En: Freja eagerly nodded again, ready to help.Da: "Vi kan bruge bøgerne her.En: "We can use the books here.Da: Og se, der er endda tavler!"En: And look, there are even chalkboards!"Da: tilføjede Freja, mens hun pegede mod de støvede, gamle skiferplader.En: added Freja, as she pointed to the dusty old slate boards.Da: Men idyllen blev hurtigt truet.En: But the idyll was quickly threatened.Da: En skælven gik gennem bygningen, og et par vinduer klirrede.En: A tremor went through the building, and a few windows rattled.Da: Udenfor, lød der råb og tumult.En: Outside, there were shouts and upheaval.Da: En gruppe raiders nærmede sig, ivrige efter at stjæle, hvad de kunne finde.En: A group of raiders approached, eager to steal whatever they could find.Da: Kasper vidste, han skulle handle hurtigt.En: Kasper knew he had to act quickly.Da: Freja greb straks en jernstang, mens Kasper sikrede dørene.En: Freja immediately grabbed an iron rod while Kasper secured the doors.Da: Mikkel blev skjult i et gammelt garderobeskab.En: Mikkel was hidden in an old wardrobe.Da: Raiderne bragede mod dørene, men hverken Kasper eller Freja bøjede sig for frygten.En: The raiders pounded against the doors, but neither Kasper nor Freja yielded to fear.Da: I stedet vinkede de til deres medborgere i skjul, der svarede med at fremkomme fra deres gemmesteder og sammen møde truslen.En: Instead, they gestured to their fellow citizens in hiding, who responded by emerging from their hiding places to confront the threat together.Da: De arbejdede i fællesskab, forsvarede skolen og hinanden.En: They worked collectively, defending the school and one another.Da: Med muskelkraft og mod tvang de raiderne til retræte.En: With muscle and courage, they forced the raiders to retreat.Da: Kasper, der nu indså vigtigheden af samarbejde, indså også betydningen af at stole på andre.En: Kasper, now realizing the importance of cooperation, also understood the significance of trusting others.Da: Sammen kunne de genopbygge noget meningsfuldt i en verden, hvor alt andet syntes tabt.En: Together, they could rebuild something meaningful in a world where everything else seemed lost.Da: Da truslen var forsvundet, samledes de alle omkring den lille skole, hvor døre og vinduer blev repareret, bøger blev delt, og inspirerende læring fandt sted igen.En: When the threat had disappeared, they all gathered around the small school, where doors and windows were repaired, books were shared, and inspiring learning took place once again.Da: Mikkel smilede op til sin bror.En: Mikkel smiled up at his brother.Da: "Skal vi lære om påsken nu?"En: "Shall we learn about påsken now?"Da: spurgte han ivrigt.En: he asked eagerly.Da: Kasper nikkede varmt, mens Freja fandt en bog om traditionerne omkring helligdagen.En: Kasper nodded warmly, while Freja found a book about the traditions surrounding the holiday.Da: Den lille skole blev et lys i mørket, et fristed for dem, der havde brug for det.En: The little school became a light in the darkness, a sanctuary for those who needed it.Da: Og for Kasper og Freja blev det symbolet på noget uundgåeligt løfterigt – en ny begyndelse i forårssolen.En: And for Kasper and Freja, it became the symbol of something inevitably promising—a new beginning

Transcript:Da: Det var en strålende forårsmorgen i Skagen.En: It was a brilliant spring morning in Skagen.Da: Solen hang lavt på den klare, blå himmel.En: The sun hung low in the clear, blue sky.Da: Gaderne var pyntet med påskekyllinger og farverige æg.En: The streets were decorated with Easter chicks and colorful eggs.Da: Freja gik gennem de små, brostensbelagte gader med en lethed i sit skridt.En: Freja walked through the small, cobblestone streets with a lightness in her step.Da: Hun var på vej til at mødes med Mikkel, hendes bedste ven.En: She was on her way to meet with Mikkel, her best friend.Da: Freja og Mikkel havde kendt hinanden, siden de var børn.En: Freja and Mikkel had known each other since they were children.Da: De delte mange minder fra deres tid på stranden, hvor de plejede at bygge sandslotte og jagte de små krabber.En: They shared many memories from their time at the beach, where they used to build sandcastles and chase the little crabs.Da: Men noget lå og gnavede i Mikkel.En: But something was gnawing at Mikkel.Da: Han havde en hemmelighed, og i dag måtte han fortælle Freja sandheden.En: He had a secret, and today he had to tell Freja the truth.Da: Stranden i Skagen var smuk.En: The beach in Skagen was beautiful.Da: Sandet var blødt under deres fødder, og lyden af bølgernes susen skabte en beroligende melodi.En: The sand was soft under their feet, and the sound of the crashing waves created a soothing melody.Da: Mikkel tog en dyb indånding.En: Mikkel took a deep breath.Da: "Freja", begyndte han, "der er noget, jeg skal fortælle dig."En: "Freja," he began, "there is something I need to tell you."Da: Freja stoppede op og så på ham med et smil.En: Freja stopped and looked at him with a smile.Da: "Hvad er det, Mikkel?” spurgte hun, mens hun samlede en lille musling fra sandet.En: "What is it, Mikkel?"Da: Mikkel betragtede horisonten, hvor de to have, Nordsøen og Østersøen, mødtes i en smuk symfoni af blå nuancer.En: she asked as she picked up a small shell from the sand.Da: "Jeg har fået en jobmulighed," sagde han langsomt, "i Australien."En: Mikkel gazed out at the horizon, where the two seas, the Nordsøen and the Østersøen, met in a beautiful symphony of blue shades.Da: Ordene hang i luften mellem dem.En: "I've received a job opportunity," he said slowly, "in Australia."Da: Frejas smil falmede, og hendes hjerte sank.En: The words hung in the air between them.Da: "Australien?"En: Freja's smile faded, and her heart sank.Da: gentog hun.En: "Australia?"Da: Hendes stemme rystede let.En: she repeated, her voice slightly trembling.Da: "Hvorfor… hvorfor skal du så langt væk?"En: "Why... why do you have to go so far away?"Da: Mikkel kiggede på hende med en blanding af håb og beklagelse i sine øjne.En: Mikkel looked at her with a mix of hope and regret in his eyes.Da: "Jeg har brug for at opleve noget nyt.En: "I need to experience something new.Da: Jeg vil gerne se verden og vokse som arkitekt," forklarede han.En: I want to see the world and grow as an architect," he explained.Da: "Men jeg vil ikke miste dig."En: "But I don't want to lose you."Da: Freja stirrede ud mod havene, hvor bølgerne mødtes i en evig dans.En: Freja stared out at the seas, where the waves met in an eternal dance.Da: Det gjorde ondt at tænke på, at Mikkel ville være så langt borte.En: It hurt to think that Mikkel would be so far away.Da: Men hun vidste også, at hun ikke kunne holde ham tilbage.En: But she also knew that she couldn't hold him back.Da: "Jeg forstår," sagde hun endelig, med en klump i halsen.En: "I understand," she finally said, with a lump in her throat.Da: De stod stille sammen ved vandkanten i et stykke tid, mens bølgerne kærtegnede deres fødder.En: They stood quietly together by the water's edge for a while, as the waves caressed their feet.Da: Freja vidste, at hun måtte lade ham gå, selvom det gjorde ondt.En: Freja knew she had to let him go, even though it hurt.Da: "Jeg er stolt af dig, Mikkel," sagde hun og tog hans hånd.En: "I am proud of you, Mikkel," she said, taking his hand.Da: Mikkel lettede ved hendes ord, og et varmt smil spredte sig over hans ansigt.En: Mikkel was relieved by her words, and a warm smile spread across his face.Da: "Vi vil altid være venner, Freja," forsikrede han hende blidt.En: "We will always be friends, Freja," he assured her gently.Da: "Uanset hvor vi er i verden."En: "No matter where we are in the world."Da: Da solen begyndte at forsvinde i horisonten, vidste Freja, at deres venskab kunne overleve alt.En: As the sun began to disappear on the horizon, Freja knew that their friendship could survive anything.Da: Hun havde lært, at forandring ikke behøver at betyde afslutning, men snarere en ny begyndelse.En: She had learned that change need not mean an end, but rather a new beginning.Da: Med Mikkels støtte følte hun sig modig nok til at omfavne fremtiden, og for første gang følte hun ikke længere frygt, men håb.En: With Mikkel's support, she felt brave enough to embrace the future, and for the first time, she no longer felt fear, but hope.Da: Og lige der, ved mødet mellem de to have, vedtog de en stiltiende pagt om et venskab stærkere end nogen afstand.En: And right there, at the meeting of the two seas, they made a silent pact of a friendship stronger than any distance.Da: De ville altid finde vej tilbage til hinanden, ligesom bølgerne altid fandt vej til stranden.En: They would always find their way back to each other, just as the waves always found their way to the shore.

“What if the life you built isn't the life you want?” Mikkel Leslie had it all—an impressive career, financial stability, and a clear path forward. But deep inside, something felt off. The stress, the exhaustion, the knowing that she was meant for more. So, she took the leap—leaving behind stability to embark on a journey of self-discovery, eventually becoming a transformational coach. In this episode of Get Unstuck Podcast, Mikkel shares her story of walking away from expectations, discovering her true calling, and how travel can be a powerful tool for personal reinvention.

I ugens udgave af Geopol dykker Lars og Mikkel ned i de mange spørgsmål, der rejser sig, om den massive europæiske oprustning, der nu skal finde sted. RÆSONs podcastserie Geopol stiller professor Mikkel Vedby Rasmussen og ph.d. Lars Bangert Struwe skarpt på tidens største geopolitiske udfordringer.

Transcript:Da: Under en klar vinteraften hang stjernerne højt over Tivoli Gardens i København.En: On a clear winter evening, the stars hung high above Tivoli Gardens in København.Da: Snefnug lagde sig som et blødt tæppe på jorden, mens tusindvis af små lys glimtede som diamanter mellem de sneklædte træer.En: Snowflakes settled like a soft blanket on the ground, while thousands of small lights twinkled like diamonds among the snow-covered trees.Da: Mikkel gik gennem parken, mens han trak sin frakke tættere om sig.En: Mikkel walked through the park, pulling his coat tighter around him.Da: Han havde hørt det underlige rygte om spejlet i spejlhuset.En: He had heard the strange rumor about the mirror in the spejlhuset.Da: Freja og Søren fulgte med ham, selvom de havde forskellige meninger om sagen.En: Freja and Søren accompanied him, even though they had different opinions on the matter.Da: Mikkel var den, som foreslog, at de skulle undersøge spejlet.En: Mikkel was the one who suggested they investigate the mirror.Da: Det kunne være en farlig opgave, men hans nysgerrighed måtte tilfredsstilles.En: It could be a dangerous task, but his curiosity had to be satisfied.Da: "Tror I virkelig på det her?"En: "Do you really believe in this?"Da: spurgte Freja skeptisk.En: asked Freja skeptically.Da: "Et spejl, der viser noget andet hver nat?En: "A mirror that shows something different every night?Da: Det lyder som en dårlig spøg."En: It sounds like a bad joke."Da: Søren, derimod, så det som en chance.En: Søren, on the other hand, saw it as an opportunity.Da: "Tænk, hvis det er ægte?En: "Think if it's real?Da: Tænk, hvad vi kan opdage om fortiden," sagde han med glød i øjnene.En: Think about what we can discover about the past," he said with a glow in his eyes.Da: De nåede frem til spejlhuset.En: They arrived at the spejlhuset.Da: Inde i den dunkle labyrint ventede spejlet.En: Inside the dim labyrinth awaited the mirror.Da: Det glimtede faretruende i lyset fra de omkringliggende lamper.En: It gleamed menacingly in the light of the surrounding lamps.Da: En brise syntes at komme fra det, selvom stedet var helt lukket.En: A breeze seemed to come from it, even though the place was entirely enclosed.Da: "Jeg kan mærke noget særligt herinde," sagde Søren med en alvorlig mine.En: "I can feel something special in here," said Søren with a serious expression.Da: "Det er som om, nogen eller noget er fanget."En: "It's as if someone or something is trapped."Da: Freja rystede på hovedet, men hun gik alligevel tættere på spejlet.En: Freja shook her head but still moved closer to the mirror.Da: Mikkel observerede dem begge, vidende at denne nat havde en helt særlig stemning.En: Mikkel observed them both, knowing that this night had a very special atmosphere.Da: Pludselig skiftede spejlet.En: Suddenly, the mirror changed.Da: Hvor der før havde været et klart billede af deres reflekterede ansigter, var der nu kun tomhed dér, hvor Frejas spejlbillede burde være.En: Where there was once a clear image of their reflected faces, there was now only emptiness where Freja's reflection should be.Da: De rykkede sig alle væk, men Mikkels nysgerrighed blev styrket endnu mere.En: They all stepped back, but Mikkel's curiosity was only further strengthened.Da: "Vi må finde ud af, hvad der skete," sagde Mikkel beslutsomt.En: "We must find out what happened," said Mikkel decisively.Da: Hvad hvis en gammel tragedie ventede på at blive løst?En: What if an old tragedy was waiting to be resolved?Da: Mikkel begyndte at forstå, at dette mysterium strakte sig dybere end overfladen.En: Mikkel began to understand that this mystery stretched deeper than the surface.Da: De tre besluttede sig for at arbejde sammen.En: The three decided to work together.Da: Mikkel ledte efter spor, Freja noterede alt ned for at danne et klart billede, og Søren forsøgte at forbinde de mystiske kræfter med noget, han havde læst.En: Mikkel searched for clues, Freja noted everything down to form a clear picture, and Søren tried to connect the mysterious forces with something he had read.Da: Til sidst, efter flere timers intens undersøgelse, opdagede de en gammel avisartikel gemt bag spejlet.En: Finally, after several hours of intense investigation, they discovered an old newspaper article hidden behind the mirror.Da: Artiklen fortalte om en ung pige, der var blevet fanget i spejlhuset og aldrig kom ud igen.En: The article told of a young girl who had been trapped in the spejlhuset and never came out again.Da: Hendes navn var også Freja.En: Her name was also Freja.Da: "Det her er ikke muligt," sagde Freja stille, da hun læste navnet.En: "This is not possible," said Freja quietly as she read the name.Da: "Måske er der mere mellem himmel og jord."En: "Maybe there is more between heaven and earth."Da: Ved hjælp af en gammel priisme, de fandt ved et af spejlene, løste de gåden og genoprettede den forsvundne refleksion.En: With the help of an old

blik på den gamle kælder, trådte Mikkel ud i vinterkulden.En: With one last glance at the old basement, Mikkel stepped out into the winter cold.Da: Nyhavn var fyldt med liv, ligesom Mikkels nye ønske om at opdage verden var.En: Nyhavn was filled with life, just like Mikkel's new desire to discover the world was.Da: Snefnuggene dansede omkring ham, mens han gik ind i et nyt kapitel.En: The
