We take a closer look at the story and journey of Oliver Vassard, the serial entrepreneur turned Employee Evangelist at 1508!

Check out and give him some love on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/olivervassard/

After 8 months of travelling in Sout East Asia, Oliver returned to Copenhagen to pursue a degree in Law & Economics at CBS.

Some of his early experiences with entrepreneurship started in the Hip Hop & Rap Music space in a tiny recording studio in Fredriksberg (ya believe it!)

3 or 4 startups later including a stint in NYC (with over 450 sales meetings), he learned many lessons with many failures but he finally ended up in 1508 and his story and wisdom on that journey were inspiring to listen too.

Oliver shares pure gold on his experience of becoming a passionate employee going deeper on topics like:

  • Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast
  • The importance of Culture Markers
  • Embracing Awkward Work Families
  • Culture starts and ends with leadership
  • The importance of outcome-based and not output-based KPIs

Honestly, after this conversation, I could not help but think to myself that I would love to work with 1508! 

What an approach to empowering your people bravo to you guys for leading the way.

Enjoy people!

After a few months of hard work and battling the COVID19 challenges that we've all faced, I've finally managed to pull together the first few dozen pre-recorded episodes for the big reveal of a huge personal project of mine and new journey.

Introducing: "Unsung Heroes" A Podcast made by employees for employees.

This episode takes a closer look at exactly what to expect from this podcast and how it will use three specific chapters; 

The Employee Evangelist, The Unsung Hero and The Employee confession to touch on the full 360 perspectives of what any and all employees around the world are going through 

Including gathering tangible tips on how we can all focus on finding our authentic self, traverse the rapidly evolving employee/employer relationship and tackle challenges we will all face if not now then for certain at some stage in our careers.

All of this however collected and told from peers (a fellow employee) and not told from the point of view of self-proclaimed experts. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
