Labbitúr
Podcast

I’ve used a manual wheelchair for the past 20 years. But last year I got a new chair, it’s electric, and it can be raised so I can be at eye level with people.

My old chair was very restrictive, I wasn’t able to move around outside without assistance. The new chair changed all that and for the first time in decades I was able to go outside on walks.

And much like Forrest Gump I went outside and I didn’t stop. I went out for multiple hours at a time. My world changed and I quickly realized that being outside, and on the move, made me think differently. I started to go on long walks with people.

People who I had known for a long time, and when I ran out of those I started walking with new people. On these long walks I had conversations that were different to the ones I had had inside. And, as a white man with a beard, the natural next step was to start a podcast.

First it was in Icelandic. I went on long walks with all sorts of creative people and we talked about their life, work, passion and how they got where they are.

And since I travel a lot for my work I started to do the same thing in English. I walk with creative people, actors, musicians, entrepreneurs, directors, producers, authors. People I admire and want to learn more about.
