The Gossip Office

42. We are breaking up

Almost exactly one year of our podcast anniversary, and therefore also our anniversary of getting dumped, we are dumping... EACH OTHER!? In today's episode we're going back to basics, and you can kind of see it as a little "filler episode", since we're taking a break in our normal series based episodes. Today we're getting much more personal, talking about our living situation and asking the million dollar question; Can you live with a close friend without ruining your friendship??? Well, listen to find out...

41. Finances & knowing when to quit; entrepreneurship Q&A

In the last episode on the theme "can everyone be an entrepreneur" we will answer your questions! We saw a theme in the questions: money. So we decided so share our own experiences with how much financial knowledge you need to have before starting a company. Spoiler: not that much! So much you can learn as you go. Speaking of finances, Amanda gossips about the raise she got at work and shares that it makes her exciting to get a better grip on her personal expenses and general life admin, and Roos shares about a book release they have been to together.

40. Inside Stockholm's AI start-up hub: Founders House

We are still on the theme of entrepreneurship, and this series would not be complete without a visit to Founders House. Founders House is a hub for AI start-ups where they can co-work, create a network, get in touch with investors and build Stockholm's start-up climate. We talk to Sara and Ella, who are in the founding team at Founders House and run the every day logistics. They get in touch with many different types of founders and entrepreneurs each day and they shared their insights with us. Then, we also spoke to Jasper. She has recently started her start-up in cyber security after a career as a management consultant in New York. Now she has hired a team together with her co-founder and they have their office at Founders House. Jasper shares some of her insights into the start-up world, and her own experience going from seeing a business opportunity to finding the right co-founder. Questions?
