This time we are mixing it up - trying to stream an episode live from the stage at 🌌Nordic Summit! The streaming 📹 part didn't go so well, but the LIVE 🧑‍🎤 part was a lot of fun! A huge thank you to all of you who came to see us live and attended this live podcast session, and went along with our chaos 😍

We covered news and updates 📣 from James Ryan, David Wyatt, Jack Rowbotham, Carsten Groth, Howdang Rashid, Louise Freese, Jonas Rapp, and Scott Hanselman. There was a lot of great content being presented at the Nordic Summit as well, and we did a little recap of our experience as a speaker and as an organizer.

Thank you, Nordic Summit, for letting us do this live podcast session. It was a lot of fun and we would love to do it again next year! (Wherever the country might be) 🌍

BOOST out! ❤️
