We discuss what it is like to be a Nordic father and how it differs from Australian, based on his experience.   You will  learn: Where Hans draws his inspiration from as a designer  What is means to be a Nordic Father  What has given Hans confidence to take risks and succeed in life  Follow Hans-Jørgen Jahr  jahr.com.au Instagram Pile of Trees Instagram Jahr Made  This episode is sponsored by Nordic Anorakki anorak jackets.
