Another event special, this time we go to TechBBQ in Copenhagen. This was extra special as we were running a live podcasting stage at the event. Overall we did 15 hours of recordings out of a camper van and got an abundance of content gems. We decided to showcase Saba Khalid of Aurat Raaj, Daniel Korski of Public (with special surprise drop-in Michael Felman), and Lina Chen of Nix Hydra for Love the Problem as they are trying to tackle big issues with their respective organizations. With Sabal we discussed how to teach sexual education to women in countries where the topic is taboo; With Daniel we talked about how we can use technology to make public services more user friendly for citizens ; and with Lina we talked about how to make games for female gamers and how people can use colours to get what they want out of life.

Another event special, this time we go to Tech Festival in Copenhagen. We went to the festival last minute and hustled some great guests on short notice. Was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Payal Arora, Clive Thompson and Chris Messina. With Payal we discussed how the next billion users that are coming onto the internet use it and how people in countries where sex is taboo learn about sex from porn hub; With Clive we talked about how a love of technology led to him being a technology journalist and author; and with Chris we talked about how his desire to create and keep an open and free internet led to him working on Mozilla, create the Hashtag and be involved with various open-source projects.

In this episode, we sat down with Morten Lauridsen of Manpremo, and follow his journey as he switches back and forth from being a technical person and a businessman, working as an entrepreneur and as a corporate, and helping a few people and helping many. Along the way, we discuss what it was like to work at Microsoft during the height of the Anti-Trust Lawsuits against them and how we are seeing that play out again today with some of the big tech companies. We end up discussing his new project, Manpremo, that uses data to help people be their best selves at work.

On this week's episode of Love The Problem, we got the chance to sit down with Taylor Ryan, partner at Klint Marketing [https://klintmarketing.com/], and he shares with us his journey into growth hacking, from taking dead end jobs after his degree to even being turned down by a car rental company for not having enough experience through finding his feet in growing startup companies. The session was raw and unfiltered, where we gave Taylor the chance to say what he really thinks about some rather poignant topics - so you should maybe expect a few explicit and colourful phrases through this episode!
