Michela Gambino: How dancing in Copenhagen funds clean water in Madagascar

What happens when you mix salsa and bachata dancing, clean water projects, and 45 volunteers who don't get paid? You get cph4water - and Michela ran the whole thing. In this episode, Michela and I dig into what it actually takes to lead a volunteer organization where people can walk away anytime. We talk about how cph4water grew from 20 to 45 volunteers under her presidency, how she balances being the boss in meetings and a student on the dance floor, and the tension between "we're doing charity" and "we need to run this properly." She's honest about the hard parts - the burnout, the scheduling nightmares, and the one piece of advice she'd give anyone thinking of starting something like this: you cannot do it alone. Key topics: Leading volunteers who owe you nothingGrowing a community from 20 to 45 people (and keeping it together)The real tension between running a charity and running it wellWhy delegation is the hardest skill in volunteer workHer honest advice for anyone wanting to start or join something like thisFollow Gor:geous Talks:Instagram: @gorgeous.talks Host: @gor.gorgeouss Guest organisation: @cph4water

Mathias Bjørnhof: How to prepare for futures you can't predict

What happens when a futurist starts his own business? Turns out, even someone who thinks about the future for a living can't predict what's coming next. Mathias and I studied entrepreneurship together. A few years later, he left his job to build Anticipate - a consultancy that helps organizations stop planning for one future and start preparing for many. In this conversation, we get into why most companies are stuck using frameworks from the 80s, how to tell real signals from noise, and what it actually takes to sell something 99.99% of people have never heard of. It's strategic, personal, and full of moments where we just figure things out together… as old classmates do. Connect with Mathias on LinkedIn.
