From the magic of saunas to social services, from digital innovation to deep trust in institutions, we unpack the Finnish formula for well-being and resilience. Along the way, we talk about the guest’s personal path to becoming a futurist, recent projects, and why happiness is more than a fleeting feeling—it’s a long-term strategy.
