This is the Leadership Journey series on the Choosing Leadership Podcast.

I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other's stories - of where we started, where we are now, and our successes and struggles on the way. With this series of interviews, my attempt is to give leaders an opportunity to share their stories and for all of us to learn from their generous sharing. If you know a leader whom you would like to see celebrated on the show, please send me a message on LinkedIn with their name.

In this episode of Choosing Leadership, we dive into the unconventional leadership journey of Kjetil Kriken—founder and CEO of Paldo—who went from organizing festivals to building an AI-powered competitive intelligence company.

Kjetil shares how embracing uncertainty, tackling tough questions early, and staying adaptable have been key to his success.

We explore the role of sports in developing resilience, why leaders must anticipate market shifts instead of reacting to them, and how startups can avoid being blindsided by change.

If you’ve ever faced the challenge of navigating unpredictability as a leader, this conversation will give you practical insights and inspiration to stay ahead.

Tune in and discover how choosing leadership—every single day—can transform your business and your life.
