Have you ever wondered why Denmark is often ranked among the happiest countries in the world?

There are multiple reasons, but one of them is undoubtedly its focus on work-life balance.

In this episode of Just Wandering, I am joined by my friend Susana, who has moved to Denmark to study and has decided to stay and start her full-time career.

Join us as we explore her experience, the differences between Denmark and our home countries of Italy and Spain, and the nuances between the concepts of work-life balance and work-life integration.

From shorter work days to increased trust and ownership, what can we learn from the Danish way of working and living?

Ambition is a trait many of us identify with. Dreaming big moves something in all of us (just look at the success of the marketing for "Marty Supreme").

But what does it really mean to be ambitious, and do we all imagine the same thing when we think about reaching our dreams?

Some people proudly describe themselves as ambitious, making it a core part of their identity. Others pursue ambition through quieter growth, personal development, and steady progress.Some dream of changing the world, while others strive for a grounded, mundane life full of simple small pleasures.

In this episode of Just Wandering, I explore how my relationship with ambition, success, and the pursuit of greatness has evolved, and is still evolving, over time.

After all, maybe changing the world starts with the mundane.
