When Jesper Brodin landed a job as IKEA's purchase manager in Pakistan, he was only 26. And had no idea he was the only applicant. He's now spent 30 years with the iconic Swedish brand - since 2017, as CEO of Ingka Group, which runs most IKEA stores. During that time, he's led two major transformations - taking the company digital and making it more eco-friendly. Now, as he steps down from his role, he tells Evan Davis about the lessons he learned from IKEA's legendary founder, Ingvar Kamprad. And why he's planning to buy himself a new guitar.(Image: Jesper Brodin. Credit: JOEL SAGET/AFP via Getty Images)

In today's episode, I sit down with Swedish creator and interviewer Theodor Ekstrand to explore the moments that shape who we become. We talk about the early beliefs I absorbed watching my mom raise six kids alone, the pressure to stand out in an academic family, and the rush of making my first million in nine months. I share how success created a deeper emptiness, how I tried to fill it with the wrong things, and how losing everything forced a shift in perspective. We get into the role of work ethic, humility, asking for help, and what it really means to rebuild with a sense of purpose.

In this Dark Moon download, Britten reflects on the lunar cycle that began at the New Moon in Libra and is now completing just before the New Moon in Scorpio on November 20th. She explores the archetype of the ferryman, a figure who guides travelers across waters to unknown shores, and how this image has appeared repeatedly in her tarot readings as the Six of Swords, revealing her role as a guide and container-holder.   Topics She Covers: The Six of Swords and Six of Cups: being a ferryman who guides people to unknown shores and a fountain of resources for transformation Trust as the currency (aka: the coin that allows passage on the boat) and why transformational containers require serious trust for alchemy to happen Teaching the ferryman song from her daughters' Swedish immersion camp and how the zodiac transmissions are the essential songs she sings in Living Emergence The Nine Boredoms of the Rightful Baddie as nine forms of permission inspired by the Vasilisa fairy tale and the journey to meet Baba Yaga How grief is essential to giving yourself permission, and why growing up means becoming bored with consensus reality's illusions Creating delusional spaces for delusional dreams, where the circle of animals (the zodiac) helps us see parts of ourselves that want our attention   Britten emphasizes that her work is about supporting you in trusting your capacity to be creators for this world.

US House of Representatives to vote on the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The Liberal budget passes, Prime Minister Mark Carney will continue to govern. What's next in Ottawa? Former high-ranking Canadian Armed Forces officers defend US-made F-35 fighter jets, as government considers purchasing Gripen-E jets from Swedish firm Saab instead.

The is organized by the Canadian, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Ukrainian embassies in Slovakia along with the Banska Bystrica Self-governing region, former NHLer Michal Handzus and his hockey school and the civic initiative Sme Spolu (We Are Together).

But any deal could collapse a long-standing agreement with the United States.And: Fighter jets were also on the agenda in Washington. The White House hosted Saudi's Crown Prince on his first trip to the U.S. since the high profile murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.Also: Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives vote overwhelmingly to release all files related to late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

SSRI prescriptions are more common than ever—but how much do we really understand about how they work, their true efficacy, and their potential downsides? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the world of SSRIs, breaking down their mechanism of action and why their use has skyrocketed in recent years.   We unpack the growing concern around emotional blunting, a well-documented effect that can leave individuals feeling flat, disconnected, or lacking drive. You'll learn why the serotonin deficiency model falls short, what SSRIs actually do in the brain, and why so many people are placed on them without a root-cause approach. We also explore powerful food-as-medicine and lifestyle strategies proven to support mood: from low-glycemic eating and amino acid repletion, to gut health, micronutrients, and more. If you're looking to understand the full picture of SSRIs and discover evidence-backed alternatives for mental wellness, this episode is a must-listen.   Also in this episode:  Free Detox Webinar Naturally Nourished Black Friday Starts Now - use code SAVE10 for 10% off all supplements Naturally Nourished Academy Now Enrolling with Early Bird Pricing Through 12/31 Give the Gift of Wellness with Naturally Nourished Gift Cards Episode 160: Neurotransmitters Part 1 The Anti Anxiety Diet What is Serotonin Sleep Support Low vs. High Serotonin What are SSRIs?

Zach Dooley joins host Jesse Cohen to discuss the contract extension for Adrian Kempe. The Swedish forward signed an eight year contract extension that will begin in the 2026-27 season. Then Dennis Bernstein (The Fourth Period) joins the program to help crown a King of the Week and recap the teams road wins against Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa.

This week's guest is Swedish singer/songwriter Peter Morén, known for his work as guitarist and vocalist of indie rock trio Peter Bjorn and John and his solo project SunYears. Peter joins me to discuss the 1994 sophomore album by alternative Swedish artist Stina Nordenstam, 'And She Closed Her Eyes'. Peter and I chat about how this record represents a transitionary period for Nordenstam, how the album was recorded with drums but then stripped of them in the final mix, the elusive nature of Nordenstam as an artist and the ambiguity surrounding whether she will ever record another album, the artist's underground cult following which extends beyond her native Sweden, how the fragility and intimacy of the vocal recordings give the album a timeless feel, and much more.

Dr Beatriz Villarroel is a Swedish astronomer and a member of the Sol Foundation, who has recently published three peer-reviewed papers showing evidence for artificial objects in Earth's orbit before the launch of Sputnik in 1947. The evidence for these claims, and the correlation with historical UFO reports is notable, both for laying out a path for other researchers to reproduce her work at other observatories and for the way it resists any conventional explanations.You can find show notes and references at our website, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠VeryExcitingTime.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or support us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/VeryExcitingTime⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.00:00:00 Introduction00:13:03 Transient Research00:33:18 Earth's Shadow00:47:00 Nuclear Tests and UFOs00:58:12 Conclusions01:05:23 Alternate Hypotheses01:24:40 Non-Human Tech?

hon till slut.En: "Okay, I'll make meatballs," she finally said.Sv: Dagen för Thanksgiving kom, och luftens kyliga bris brötas av kamraters skratt och livliga konversationer.En: The day of

carry with her everywhere.Sv: Medan Erik och Sofia diskuterade planerna för nästa semester, kände Linnea hur hennes oro över att vara ensam sakta bortbleknade.En: As Erik and Sofia discussed plans for the next holiday, Linnea felt her worries about being alone slowly fade away.Sv: Hon log för sig själv, tackade för sin nyfunna trygghet och visste att hon hade hittat vänner i ett främmande land, och kanske hade skapat en ny tradition.En: She smiled to herself, thankful for her newfound security, and she knew she had found friends in a foreign land, and perhaps had created a new tradition.

Palden Jenkin in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://penwithbeyond.blog/about/ https://www.palden.co.uk/podcasts.html About Palden I was born in Hartfield in the Ashdown Forest in Sussex in 1950, in a nursing home which not long before had been the American Generals' HQ in Britain in WW2. A fine start. I grew up in 1950s Cardiff, Wales, and in 1960s Liverpool, and here my spiritual path began at age 16, tripping out on acid and beginning to see things in an entirely dfferent way. Went to university at the London School of Economics in 1969 during its time of revolution. I never looked back. This was the big change-point in my life, which set the course for all the rest of it. In today's terminology I was radicalised, thereafter dedicating my life to world change, and personal change with it, though very much tied up with it. Later I lived in the mountains of Snowdonia, Wales, then I had to leave the country in 1974, regarded by the authorities and media as a traitor and even a murderer, to live in Sweden until 1980. I'm really grateful for the safety and healing Sweden gave me. I married a Swedish lady, Berit, and we had two kids and many adventures, partly in Stockholm and partly in the forest in northern Uppland. There, as an English teacher of political refugees, inadvertently I started my later humanitarian work, in which I came to specialise in trauma recovery, social reconstruction and freelance intelligence work in conflict zones. During that time, after seven years' study, I became an astrologer. Since then I have counselled a few thousand people, writing three astrology books and founding the astrology camps in the 1980s. But I didn't easily fit into Sweden and, when I found out I was exonerated of my former alleged crimes, I returned to Britain. This involved a painful end to my marriage and the loss of two children. I landed in Glastonbury and I cried my eyes out with grief for two years in men's groups and therapy groups. This was a big change too, opening me up for something. Then came my instructions and I came alive again. In 1983-84 I started the UK camps movement – first with indoor gatherings in Glastonbury, then with summer camps, at first near Glastonbury, and later round the country. The Glastonbury Camps, spontaneously started and lasting three years, were followed from 1987 by the OakDragon Camps, from both of which many other camps organisations sprouted, in several countries.   By 1990 I was burned out, and there were quite a few people in the OakDragon who wanted to take things a different way. So, sad about that, I left and started again. I  went into book editing with an enlightened publisher called Gateway Books. In 1992 when I was asked to write The Only Planet of Choice – a book of communications from some cosmic beings called the Council of Nine. It was a privilege to write. I was also involved with editing a series of books by and about the Austrian genius Viktor Schauberger, and five books of alternative ideas about Jesus, and lots of other books too, through the 1990s.

Friday November 14 was another Global Climate Strike by Fridays For Future, the international student climate group started by Swedish activist Greta Thurberg. Earlier in the week the 30th COP began in Brazil on the tenth anniversary of the Paris Climate Accords. In the Capital District, several dozen protestors gathered outside Governor Hochul's 2nd floor office in the State Capitol. We first hear from Ryan, the local Fridays for Future organizer, who talks about getting the City of Albany to join the Non Fossil Fuel Treaty which Chicago recently joined. We then hear from a number of climate activists. WIth Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Transcript:Sv: I skymningen, när det första tunna lagret av snö täckte marken i byn, hördes barnens glada rop.En: In the twilight, when the first thin layer of snow covered the ground in the byn, the

recently had with his old grandfather, who had asked him to keep it simple and focus on what he loved.Sv: Så bestämde han sig för att göra en staty av sin favoritvinterfågel, en domherre, med dess lysande röda bröst.En: So he decided to make a statue of his favorite winter bird, a bullfinch, with its bright red breast.Sv: Under tiden kämpade Emilia med att få sin skulptur, en vacker

Transcript:Sv: Mitt i hjärtat av Uppsala, på en höstfärgad internatskola, satt Lars vid sitt skrivbord och stirrade ut genom fönstret.En: In the heart of Uppsala, at a boarding school painted with autumn colors, Lars sat at his desk, staring out the window.Sv: Eklöven skiftade från grönt till magnifika röda och gyllene toner.En: The oak leaves were shifting from green to magnificent red and golden hues.Sv: Det var en stillsam söndag, men Lars kände att något fattades.En: It was a calm Sunday, but Lars felt that something was missing.Sv: Tidigare under veckan hade han läst om en liten by utanför Uppsala.En: Earlier that week, he had read about a small village outside Uppsala.Sv: En plats med gammaldags charm och orörd natur.En: A place with old-fashioned charm and untouched nature.Sv: Kanske skulle en utflykt dit imponera på hans vänner, Ingrid och Greta.En: Perhaps a trip there would impress his friends, Ingrid and Greta.Sv: Ingrid, alltid full av energi, var förtjust över idén.En: Ingrid, always full of energy, was thrilled about the idea.Sv: Hon älskade äventyr och nya upplevelser.En: She loved adventures and new experiences.Sv: Greta, mer tillbakadragen men med en dold appreciation för naturens skönhet, såg i tystnad fram emot lugnet bortom skolans väggar.En: Greta, more reserved but with a hidden appreciation for the beauty of nature, quietly looked forward to the peace beyond the school walls.Sv: De tre vänster internatet tidigt en lördagsmorgon.En: The three left the boarding school early on a Saturday morning.Sv: Tågresan var tänkt att vara början på deras äventyr.En: The train journey was meant to be the beginning of their adventure.Sv: Men verkligheten visade sig annorlunda.En: But reality turned out to be different.Sv: Tåget blev först försenat, och när det äntligen kom igång, skakade det fram ryckigt genom landskapet.En: The train was first delayed, and when it finally started, it jerkily shook through the landscape.Sv: Ett höststorm började dra in, och himlen blev snabbt mörkare.En: An autumn storm began to roll in, and the sky quickly darkened.Sv: Lars kände oron växa.En: Lars felt anxiety growing.Sv: Hans planer såg ut att gå i spillror, och han tvivlade på att vännerna skulle uppskatta hans initiativ.En: His plans seemed to be falling apart, and he doubted that his friends would appreciate his initiative.Sv: Men Ingrid log uppmuntrande, och Greta såg lugnande på honom.En: But Ingrid smiled encouragingly, and Greta looked at him reassuringly.Sv: När de nådde den lilla byn var det redan sent på eftermiddagen.En: When they reached the small village, it was already late afternoon.Sv: De började gå mot en skogsväg, men regnet piskade ner och vinden ven mellan träden.En: They started walking towards a forest path, but the rain was lashing down and the wind howled between the trees.Sv: De blev snabbt genomblöta.En: They quickly became soaked.Sv: Plötsligt såg Ingrid en gammal lada i skogsbrynet.En: Suddenly, Ingrid saw an old barn at the edge of the forest.Sv: De sprang dit och tog skydd.En: They ran there and took shelter.Sv: Torka och värme omfamnade dem inne i ladan.En: Dryness and warmth embraced them inside the barn.Sv: De skrattade åt sina blöta kläder och delade matsäck under takbjälkarna.En: They laughed at their wet clothes and shared their packed lunch under the beams.Sv: Stämningen blev varm och gemenskapen stark.En: The atmosphere became warm, and the sense of togetherness grew strong.Sv: Lars, som först varit orolig och nervös, kände hur en ny säkerhet växte inom honom.En: Lars, who had initially been worried and nervous, felt a new confidence growing within him.Sv: När han såg sina vänner skratta, insåg han att de inte behövde imponerande miljöer.En: When he saw his friends laughing, he realized that they didn't need impressive surroundings.Sv: Det var vänskapen och de delade upplevelserna som var viktiga.En: It was the friendship and the shared experiences that were important.Sv: Regnet avtog till slut, och solen bröt genom molnen, målande skogen i vackert gyllene ljus.En: The rain eventually subsided, and the sun broke through the clouds, painting the forest in beautiful golden light.Sv: De blickade ut över det glittrande landskapet och visste att dagen blivit oförglömlig – inte för resans mål, utan för ögonblicken de delat tillsammans.En: They gazed out at the shimmering landscape and knew that the day had become unforgettable—not for the destination, but for the moments they shared together.Sv: Så återvände de till Uppsala, med en historia och ett minne de alltid skulle bära med sig.En: So they returned to Uppsala, with a story and a memory they would always carry with them.Sv: Lars log för sig själv och tänkte att den här dagen ändrat något inom honom.En: Lars smiled to himself and thought that this day had changed something within him.Sv: Han hade funnit en ny självsäkerhet bland de höstklädda träden.En: He had found a new self-confidence among the autumn-clad trees.

"Yeah, a little.Sv: Jag är bara rädd för att det kanske finns jordnötter någonstans," svarade Erik.En: I'm just afraid there might be peanuts somewhere," Erik replied.Sv: Han visste att det fanns bouillabaisse på menyn idag, och även om skolan var noggrann, kunde man aldrig veta helt säkert.En: He knew there was bouillabaisse on the menu today, and even though the school was careful, you could never be completely sure.Sv: "Jag tror att du borde säga något till personalen," föreslog Linnea.En: "I think you should say something to the staff," suggested Linnea.Sv: "Dina vänner och jag skulle förstå om vi behöver ändra något."En: "Your friends and I would understand if we need to change something."Sv: Erik tvekade.En: Erik hesitated.Sv: "Kanske ska jag försöka," suckade han.En: "Maybe I should give it a try," he sighed.Sv: Lunchen fortskred utan händelser först.En: Lunch proceeded without any incidents at first.Sv: Men när Erik reste sig från bordet, råkade han stöta till en skål från ett annat bord.En: But when Erik got up from the table, he accidentally bumped a bowl from another table.Sv: En bit av maten innehöll jordnötter och rullade över till hans tallrik.En: A piece of food containing peanuts rolled over to his plate.Sv: Panikslagen tittade Erik ner, förlamad av rädslan han alltid haft.En: Panicked, Erik looked down, paralyzed by the fear he always had.Sv: Linnea agerade snabbt.En: Linnea acted quickly.Sv: "Erik, din EpiPen," sa hon lugnt men bestämt.En: "Erik, your EpiPen," she said calmly but firmly.Sv: Med darrande händer fann Erik sin EpiPen och injicerade den omedelbart.En: With trembling hands, Erik found his EpiPen and injected it immediately.Sv: Pulsen saktade ner och färgen återvände till hans ansikte.En: His pulse slowed down and the color

his daily struggle.Sv: Och i skuggan av de fallande höstlöven, fanns det en ny känsla av förståelse och vänskap mellan dem, starkare än någonsin.En: And in the shadow of the falling autumn leaves,
