Talks of imperfection is a new podcast series of intimately open diverse conversations where globally recognized leaders, founders, entrepreneurs and activists reveal their personal relationships with growth, collaboration, success and imperfection.
Season one features eight carefully curated guests coming from different backgrounds, cultures, languages and professions who all share the common goal of creating a more equal, more reasonable and increasingly sustainable future through their talent, network, vision and passion.
This is not your ordinary business podcast but a gentle platform for deeply meaningful conversations that redefines our views on doubt, failure and vulnerability and connects the blurring dots between smarter working habits and more balanced private life.
Talks of imperfection is hosted by Risto Kuulasmaa, an Amsterdam-based global marketing entrepreneur, media executive and wanna be surfer, and enabled by Edita Prima, the kindest Nordic tech company, founded already in 1859, that orchestrates automated customer journeys to perfection.
Season 001 is out now. Season 002 is already in production. We hope you like it.
