About

This episode takes place in an amazing Michelin star gem of Helsinki, Ora. This restaurant by Sasu Laukkonen and his super talented team is changing the way restaurants work, to a lot better, I should say. 
 
Mårten Janson joins me in this episode to have a conversation about how boards and companies work (or should work). Mårten has an impressive CV in building companies and now he runs a small scale VC with high-level hands-on involvement called “No Asshole Company”. 

Ora, the restaurant is ranked at 9th position of the Top 50 list, … but I do want to say that this belongs far higher up. Maybe it was because of the new concept, but this is top 3 restaurant for me. Now the new concept? Felt like being in a concert or show: the food was served one course at a time, to everyone at once and Sasu went through them all. After 14 courses or so of pure perfection and great stories, I was sold. 

I can’t really go to the details, but the symphony on your palette was just heartwarming. Really really good experience, even if we never anticipated to be sitting there for 4 hours and 30 minutes. 

This is highly recommended for anyone who wants more than food when going out to dine. Definitely an experience to repeat.

You’ll also hear a quick comment between each meal from Sasu during the podcast episode.
