In this episode, we are joined by Rickard Fritjofsson. He's the founder and CEO of a successful multi-brand recruitment company, Worldwiders, that has placed over 5,000 people in 40 countries.   Rickard discussed key elements of their company culture, influenced by sports principles, including clear career paths and collaborative goal-setting. As a recruitment business owner, it will also resonate with you how he addressed challenges such as downsizing due to market fluctuations which is a great business case of how being resilient will allow you to turn around unfavorable situations into learnings and advantages.   Episode Outline and Highlights   [03:48] How Rickard got into recruitment and how his role as the coach of Norway's national Bandy team influences his leadership. [08:11] Why Rickard focuses on international jobs as his niche. [13:34] Growing from 0 to $5m in six years - discussion of Nordic Jobs Worldwide's early days. [21:56] Trigger to decide on when to make the next hire in your recruitment firm. [23:35] Discussion about the business model and the management of portfolios. [26:46] Key success factors when rapidly growing their team. [36:42] Prioritizing career development of team members via progression and support projects. [45:30] Learnings that forced them to downsize and restructure.   Targeting International Jobs as a Niche   A unique selling proposition of Rickard and his team is their focus on international jobs as a niche. “So I did some research and figured out that no company in the world, even if the recruitment industry is big, is doing the niche of language recruitment of Nordics… So we were the first to step into that niche in 2016. So Norwegian, Swedish Danish, and Finnish were the specialization, and the business developed there. And we decided also to build it organically, like stone by stone.”    Being observant of industry needs, Rickard came up with an impactful solution and built their business from there. He shared their three main objectives when launching their recruitment business: build a company organically, scale the business, and be the best in what they do. So far, Rickard and his team are on track to achieving these three main goals since starting their business in 2016.   Key Success Factors Contributing to Rapid Growth   An astonishing feat that Rickard and his team have accomplished is the rapid sustainable growth of their company since its inception. He grew the company from 0 to $5m in just six years. They have placed over 5000 people in 40 countries and they have 400+ clients worldwide. What would Rickard consider as a success factor contributing to this growth? Here are some takeaways:   Core Values-Driven Culture – Embedding Courage, Trust, and Results into daily operations and decision-making. Clear Career Progression – Offering fast internal growth opportunities, and motivating employees to excel. Decisive Expansion Strategy – Rapidly opening offices in Barcelona and Lisbon, executing growth plans with confidence. Market-Aligned Scaling – Capitalizing on post-2022 industry demand to scale efficiently. Performance-Driven Mindset – Fostering a "best in the world" mentality, akin to elite sports teams (due to his background in Bandy) Client Partnership Approach – Positioning as strategic advisors rather than just service providers. Culture of Celebration – Recognizing achievements through company-wide events, awards, and gatherings.   Rickard said,  “From day one, when we started the business, we also put up core values and they are still active in the company. We also have three keywords: courage, trust, and result. So it's like having the courage to climb Mount Everest and call it taking strategic risks, putting the trust in the people we are hiring, and from that getting the results”   Overcoming Challenges - From Scaling to Downsizing   Rickard has also been very generous in sharing their resilience mindset when overcoming challenges. The last two years have been challenging: from scaling from 0-90 employees to downsizing to 60 again and cutting costs to meet the market situation is a scenario that Rickard is not used to.    However, you will hear in our conversation his resilient recruiter mindset and how getting out of his comfort zone makes him a strong CEO who can turn around unfavorable situations. He was specific in action points that they are doing differently such as implementation of stricter financial controls and a return to foundational recruitment practices, with plans to scale responsibly with improved processes.    If you are a recruitment entrepreneur and leader, you will surely be able to relate to what he shared in his experience. Have you navigated a similar scenario as a leader before?   Rickard Fritjofsson  Bio & Contact Info   Rickard Fritjofsson is a Swedish citizen living in Norway for the past 15 years, with an apartment in Málaga, Spain that allows him to enjoy both northern and southern European lifestyles.

We Own the Dark Episode 06 finds the horror in the surreal!! Jerry's choice for this month's discussion is Johnannes Nyholm's 2019 Swedish-Danish time and mind-bending Koko-di Koko-da. Jason pairs this emotionally charged and highly bizarre horror fantasy with an absolutely stunning classic, an obvious inspiration for so many of our contemporary surrealist filmmakers, Ingmar Bergman's 1968 psychological horror Hour of the Wolf.   Take a watch then take a listen and let us know what you think of the pairing!   Follow us on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/weownthedark Follow Jerry on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/thesleepermustawaken Follow Jason on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/vongodi Check out Whiskey & Horror at: https://www.whiskeyandhorror.com

It's Nordic noir time as we cross The Bridge (Bron/Broen), the oft-remade Swedish-Danish crime series that starts with halves of two bodies placed on the border of the two nations. Prepare for a lot of gray and some thoughts about what we would do if we were trapped in a car that was rigged with explosives.

Frank Zappa had one of the larger discographies with supposedly more than 60 full-lengths and countless live-records and more. Scott Heller aka Dr. Space surely can rival those numbers because his discography is also immeasurable and uncountable. Together with his main project the Øresund Space Collective he has 70 releases under his belt (as counted by Discogs) and thus we had enough to talk about. Enjoy! When listening to Øresund Space Collective one can totally understand the old saying by Timothy Leary: "Turn on, tune in and drop out" when he was talking about psychedelics and drugs - the Swedish-Danish collective is able to achieve this effect without the need for any narcotics. For me, being a straight-edger for life it has the effect that I can completely get lost in the sounds of Dr. Space and his fellow musicians. All very talented jammers with a perfect understanding of what they want to achieve with each specific jam. Scott talks about how the music is created and much more. So, sit back, turn on and understand.

As the witch themed Season of Spoop rolls on, Aaron and Derek are joined by returning guest Lauren to tackle 1922's (yes 1922) Swedish-Danish silent film documentary "Häxan" (also known as "Heksen," "The Witches," and "Witchcraft Through the Ages") directed by Benjamin Christensen. They discuss how it's aging through the decades, subject matter, and creepy dramatizations inadvertently make this a solid proto-horror watch. They also go into how witchcraft is presented, the director's analysis in regard to modern views, brief history of its controversy release, among many other aspects about the film. Lauren and Derek force Aaron into the water to see if he sinks or floats. We are on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Amazon Music, Stitcher, Spotify, CastBox, and Google Play.

Hans svingar har uppmärksammats världen över. När Martin beger till Köpenhamn för att träffa Andreas Kali berättar den danske instruktören om hur hans egen satsning mot Ryder Cup förstördes på grund av dålig vägledning. Detta ledde till att han själv fick ett nästintill maniskt intresse för hur en golfsving fungerar och att han själv blev golfinstruktör.Andreas Kali berättar också om kriterierna för att du ska lyckas på touren, varför han anser att dansk talangutveckling har passerat svensk, och så passar han på att slå hål på en rad myter om den så bespottade tekniken stack and tilt.Som slutkläm delar han ut ett tips till Tiger Woods.Avsnittet är på svenska/danska.The swings he are building are receiving recognition all over the world. When Martin travels to Copenhagen to sitt down with Andreas Kali the danish instructor is telling a story of how his own target of playing in the Ryder Cup was ruined by poor guidance. This led to an almost manic interest for the golf swing and to himself becoming a golf instructor.Andreas Kali also explains what he demands from a player who is trying to make it on tour, why he believes that Danish talent development now is better than Swedish, and he also takes the time to break down some of the myths about the criticized stack and tilt technique.To finish it off he also gives a tip to Tiger Woods.This episode is in Swedish/Danish.

A 1922 Swedish-Danish silent film in the form of a semi-dramatised lecture, we had absolutely no idea what to expect of Häxan, written and directed by Benjamin Christensen. And what a great surprise it was, as we discover an extraordinary, perceptive, original, bold, witty piece of work that details the history of witchcraft, visualises medieval beliefs in wild set-pieces, and draws interesting parallels with modern-day institutionalisation of "hysterical" women. The projection was out of this world, a 2K 2007 restoration by the Swedish Film Institute with unimaginable clarity, sharpness and contrast. It was unbelievable to look at. (Thanks to Holly Cooper for finding the technical details out for us.) And the film is full of images that benefit from the restoration; Bosch-esque dramatisations of Satanic seductions, a Witches' Sabbath, and unholy births of demonic creatures. It was the most expensive silent film to ever emerge from Scandinavia, and it shows. Though neither Mike nor José is an expert on horror, and indeed despite Häxan's fundamental differences from horror, in its imagery its possibly foundational influences on several subgenres of horror is palpable. There's a remarkably sceptical, anti-clerical theme that runs throughout the film. While not strictly atheist, Häxan says clearly from the start it will discuss what folks in the Middle Ages believed without asking us to buy into it. Indeed, there's a frankly dismissive tone: "Of course, this is all nonsense", the film effectively says, "but let's learn about it anyway, shall we?" This set-up, while unexpected, arguably creates a lack of direction and drive until the final chapter, in which we are brought into the modern day (of 1921) and Christensen draws direct links between the superstitions of old and what real-life events, phenomena and afflictions they may have been responding to. And that would be interesting, but the film goes further, talking about this all as not just a difference in the understanding of the physical world between people of different eras, but as a continuum of oppression and abuse of women. Burning at the stake, Christensen says, has been replaced by the mild shower of the mental institution, but how much progress does that really represent? Women are now considered to be ill or troubled rather than in league with the Devil, but is the difference between murdering and imprisoning them really so great? Not only does it pose these insightful and powerful questions, it even proposes things as specific as institutional sexual abuse keeping women in an inescapable cycle of incarceration and continued abuse; assaulted by the very men charged with running the system that's supposed to protect them, they are left permanent victims, unable to plead their cases, for anything they say will be considered symptomatic of their hysteria, just as women on trial for witchcraft had no escape from torture and murder in a system that was ostensibly just. We could go on. And in the podcast, we do. The 2007 SFI restoration we saw is available through Criterion, and you owe it to yourself to see it - it's available on DVD and digitally on Amazon and iTunes, though the Blu-Ray appears to be available only in North America, unfortunately. Brilliant film. (P.S. José would like to apologise for saying silent films ran at 8 frames per second, when they actually had frame rates that varied from 16-24 fps and often changed due to being hand-cranked.) Recorded on 17th January 2019.
