Martin is working as an IT Consultant, dealing with different clients, and whose job is to provide the best user experience for using a product, for example, an application or a website.

In this interview, Martin will talk about his journey, studying and working as a freelancer, and he will also give a lot of great advice on steps you can take to become more attractive in the job market, which is something a lot of newly finished graduates are struggling to do.

    From collecting and pushing trolleys at what today is the world's largest furniture retailer, IKEA, at the age of 16, to working with finding, recruiting and administering employees as a Human Resource manager at one of the largest mobile phone operators in Norway, Telia, many would undoubtedly say that this weeks guest, Christoffer Hovde, has struggled his way from the bottom to the top. Christoffer is also today a prominent advisor and public speaker, who gives many speeches, especially on the topics of leadership, innovation, and communication. To make sure he's always on top of the question, what it really means to be a leader, Christoffer interviewed some 15 Norwegian top-leaders as a part of his Master's thesis, asking them what they thought about the future of leadership. In this interview with Christoffer, we'll be talking about his journey starting at Ikea, and how he ended up working as a Human Resource manager at the telephone company Telia. We'll also be talking about his life decisions and sacrifices that has changed and formed Christoffer into the person he is today. As well as being active in his local communities, Christoffer also works to mentor those in desire for professional guidance and help, which you will hear more about in the interview. We would also like to inform you that this interview is actually a part of a video interview which will be released later, either this, or next, month, so stay tuned for that, but also keep in mind that that's why the audio might seem a bit unusual compared to the other episodes on the podcast.

    Robotics and Vision Scientist at iRobot - Pablo Fernandez

    Robots are the future. Whether we like it or not, we live in an era where more and more things in the world are becoming mechanised. However, the technologies that go into the different machines has to come from somewhere, and this is where today´s guest Pablo comes in. Pablo is working as a Robotics vision scientist at an advanced technology company called iRobot. Pablo and his team are working with computer vision and on developing and improving technologies used in robots. What Pablo is doing, is helping robots “see” and understand the real physical world through a camera or mapping, so that the robots can interact and function without the need of a human manually guiding it. The technologies Pablo is working with is really amazing, and has so many potential uses. For example, imagine a world where blind people are given the ability to navigate easier thanks to sensors attached to a pair of wearable glasses, or sitting in a driverless car which takes your from point A to point B while perfectly manoeuvring all obstacles along the way. The possibilities are endless.
