00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:07.530
I started to challenge myself physically

2
00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:09.060
when I was younger.

3
00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:11.490
I had like many others I guess,

4
00:00:11.490 --> 00:00:13.203
a tough time fitting in at school.

5
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:16.940
So the physical challenges were a bit crazy,

6
00:00:16.940 --> 00:00:19.730
like walking from my hometown to a neighboring city

7
00:00:19.730 --> 00:00:20.893
80 kilometers away.

8
00:00:22.110 --> 00:00:24.070
My energy comes from me striving

9
00:00:24.070 --> 00:00:26.240
to live my life to the fullest.

10
00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:29.540
This is very important to me and I'm enjoying the life

11
00:00:29.540 --> 00:00:30.890
that I've built for myself.

12
00:00:31.910 --> 00:00:34.080
My biggest role models

13
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:37.890
were the really old explorers.

14
00:00:37.890 --> 00:00:42.080
I'm extremely impressed by how they willingly got on board

15
00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:44.800
those poorly made wooden ships

16
00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:48.773
and explored a new world nobody knew anything about.

17
00:00:50.530 --> 00:00:53.720
I started dancing ballet again to sort of prove

18
00:00:53.720 --> 00:00:56.430
to myself that even as an adult,

19
00:00:56.430 --> 00:00:58.193
you can still do the unexpected.

20
00:01:00.330 --> 00:01:05.140
Ballet to me, is a perfect blend between artistry

21
00:01:06.510 --> 00:01:07.883
and absolute control.

22
00:01:10.372 --> 00:01:11.270
I think I can fulfill my desire

23
00:01:11.270 --> 00:01:13.150
for adventure at work.

24
00:01:13.150 --> 00:01:15.540
I mean it's not about standing on top of a mountain

25
00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:20.070
freezing to death, it's more about challenging yourself

26
00:01:20.070 --> 00:01:21.820
and your colleagues intellectually.

27
00:01:29.290 --> 00:01:31.980
I think the best part of being a consultant

28
00:01:31.980 --> 00:01:33.870
is that you're in charge of which path

29
00:01:33.870 --> 00:01:35.020
you want to take in life.

30
00:01:36.630 --> 00:01:40.270
Living your life based on what other people think

31
00:01:40.270 --> 00:01:42.133
or other people's expectations,

32
00:01:43.160 --> 00:01:45.840
the thought of that defining me for the rest of my life

33
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:47.923
was really not what I wanted.

34
00:01:52.380 --> 00:01:56.583
The culture at BCG is very, very unique.

35
00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:01.130
We put a lot of effort into making the individual grow

36
00:02:01.130 --> 00:02:06.130
and what we work with usually affects society as a whole.

37
00:02:06.310 --> 00:02:11.310
So for me, that is very inspiring and challenging work.

38
00:02:12.940 --> 00:02:17.020
The thing that's special with BCG is the people

39
00:02:17.020 --> 00:02:17.913
who work here.

40
00:02:19.470 --> 00:02:22.750
You can be yourself, you're among the best.

41
00:02:22.750 --> 00:02:24.750
So, of course this is where you want to be.

42
00:02:28.196 --> 00:02:31.490
My name is Olaf Sunstrom.

43
00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:33.540
And my name is Karen Forshling.
