We’ve been bringing creators from our community into the podcast to understand what’s actually shaping culture locally - and right now, running culture is one of the biggest shifts we’re seeing.

This week, we’re joined by Hedda Schroeter Skaug, creator, runner, and one of the strongest voices in Norway’s running community.

And she’s refreshingly clear on what many brands still miss: running isn’t becoming more extreme - it’s becoming more human.

We talk about:

• why the most important “metric” is learning to trust your body (not your Garmin)

• what comes next after run clubs and where the running community is heading

• plus Hedda’s best running tips (including why you actually need at least 6 pairs of shoes)

If you’re a brand trying to enter running culture in an authentic way, this episode is your shortcut to understanding what the community values right now.

Snapchat is having a moment again - but not for the reasons you think.

In this episode, we sit down with Per Christian Strand Teslo from Snapchat to unpack why the platform is suddenly back at the center of the conversation, and what most marketers still get wrong about how Gen Z uses Snap.

This is not the usual “Snap 101.” Instead, we go deeper into the real reasons behind the platform’s resurgence:

• Why private, in-the-moment communication is becoming the new social currency
• How creators actually drive influence and purchase decisions on Snap
• What brands need to understand about the mindset users are in when they open the app
• The creative principles that will define success on Snapchat in 2026
• And how AR + AI lenses are reshaping storytelling on the platform, far beyond filters

Whether you’re a brand looking to diversify your platform mix, or a creator exploring where to grow next, this conversation offers a fresh, honest perspective you won’t hear anywhere else.

Tune in to understand why Snap’s comeback matters, and how to show up authentically in a social landscape that’s shifting faster than ever.

With nearly half a million followers on TikTok, Frida Jernspets has grown her platform slowly and steadily over years – no viral “big break”, just consistent, real connection. In this episode, she shares why that’s been key to her longevity, why she turned down a major fast-fashion deal the very next day after deciding to stop those partnerships, and the simple rule that guides everything she posts: nothing that would give her a bad night’s sleep.

And this episode isn’t just for creators - it’s a must-listen for brands too. Frida gives her view on what actually works in creator marketing today, including why many campaigns fall flat, why creative freedom is essential, and how brands can unlock more value by letting creators shape the story.

We also get into:

• Purpose-driven influence – beyond empty statements and surface-level messaging
• Value-led decisions as a creator (even when it means saying no to big money)
• What brands need to rethink if they want partnerships that resonate
