E4 | Pekka Pärnänen | Fail harder and the Silicon Valley Mindset

In this episode, "Don Pekka", CEO of Mad Partners, and his wife graciously hosted me during my trip to Silicon Valley and San Francisco. After enjoying some delicious vegan meals and a scenic hike through the mountains, we sat down to discuss the importance of maintaining the right mindset as a founder. We also discuss the importance of following up promptly and the belief that if you're not failing, you're not pushing yourself hard enough. Watch the full interview to learn more. Join me on a 1,5 month-long road trip across the US as I meet with Finns and explore their experiences and perspectives on what it means to be Finnish in America, success, and failure, and living abroad. Featuring interviews with IIHF Hockey Hall of Famers, the Ambassador of Finland to the US, a professor at Michigan University, and more, this docuseries offers a unique glimpse into the lives of Finns in the US.
