Welcome! This podcast is a space for the international community in Finland to share their unique stories of how they ended up here and how they are "mastering" the Finnish way of life. We invite you to join this community for practical information, laughs, relatable stories of struggles and victories as expats and much more!
In this episode, we welcome back our friend Joppe Quaedvlieg. Joppe just released a book, *Reaching Escape Velocity: A Proposal for an Alternative Way of Being.* Join us for a heartfelt and casual chat with Joppe as we dive into the pages of his beautifully vulnerable composition—a blend of short stories, poems, illustrations, and photographs that feels like a friend’s diary. We explore themes of authenticity, pursuing happiness, and redefining “better,” as Joppe shares personal struggles and triumphs, from childhood challenges to moments of profound realization. As one of Joppe’s friends, Peter Tapio, puts it in the forward of the book, it’s about “distilling your own moonshine” from life’s experiences and finding your unique path without prescriptive advice. Joppe’s empathetic approach shines through, echoing his belief that “together, we are strong.” Tune in to discover how to reach your own escape velocity!
The book is perfect for anyone craving inspiration to live more authentically.
