About Knowledge Fika - the podcast

Swedish “fika” is a cherished tradition of enjoying coffee and pastries with friends, family or co-workers, creating a cozy and social atmosphere. It is not just about feeding the body but also our souls and brains, when we take mini-breaks throughout the day, to clear our minds and replenish. In this podcast we will sit down with interesting profiles from the global Knowledge Management community, for casual conversations about relevant KM-topics, over a virtual cup of coffee. And of course there will be a lot of talk about AI and AI-powered Knowledge solutions!

Hosted by myself & Dawn Brushammar - two Swedish/American multiple time expatriates and repatriates, and partners in podcast & fika crime.
