Minnesota Nice and Focus on Positive News

And I'm wearing here a hoodie from Minnesota University that I got from a friend who visit the state at the travel at the trip and at the project there. Regarding could say business, small business integration. What to learn from America when it comes to integration with business and when you're coming from a foreign country like Somalia. More about that in a future episode. So I got to hear the expression. I learned the expression from friend here, Deborah Anderson.

Deborah E. Yes. Singer from Los Angeles and now also co host of a new podcast Fusion Studio. Fusion like science fiction, SF studio Fusion. And she told about the expression how to be nice Minnesotan way. So I will do some research on that and learn from that. And Minnesota, plenty of Swedes immigrated there and it could be for one reason that they like the landscape and the style and so on. So Minnesota is place for immigrants and Swedes immigrating. And another place is Chicago.

It was the second largest city in Sweden at one time. Chicago. So Minnesota Nice. I want to focus here on this new year nice things. And when I picked the word focus, I have subscribed to a news magazine in Swedish called Focus in Swedish and here it's play with words. You could say Scott or leap year again. And it's about not so positive news about shooting but that it has decreased lately.

But maybe in some areas especially no Go Zone in Gothenburg, Sweden Zone maybe that have increased but that also for another time. But I will use this to do live streaming once a week on Ego Netcast and also on Teapot Media and then turn them into audio episodes of my podcast Ego Netcast, my first podcast that I started in 2006 and tea party Media Tea Party Media podcast.

So I will come up with the schedule here on the New Year today and as I said I will do this short and sweet because I have another recording here in a bit of a podcast called Victed Porictid by Corin Koch and that's season 13th and episode two with artist Clara Lord. So today is something called In Swedish Juvgande, Juvel or when it's when you really you say say goodbye. Goodbye to Yuletide, as I like to call it in English or Christmas. But that's also what I've talked about.

Yuletide and yule log that you put in the fireplace. A word about the season holiday, what it's coming from. And it's Swedish and German Yuletide and the Yule log on fireplace. So called 20 Days After Christmas you could say. And here In Sweden it's December 24, that's Christmas starting and you have the gifts and the tree and so on. So if you take one this 20 days after that, so 31st New Year, end of the year and then now it's January 13th.

So then you will have Knut 20 days of the Christmas and it's named after a saint called Knut or a prince in Denmark. And when you do, I saw it was on my Facebook Colder ice said do you still have your tree up? And then I said about that on Monday today, January 13, 2025, then officially Christmas is over. Because when you throw out the Christmas tree it's called like plundering the Christmas tree. And I think I wonder if you have some gifts or whatever.

But it's like a celebration tradition and yeah, taking care of the end of the holidays. And I will see more what to talk about. So as I said weekly live session to do this on Tea Party Media and I will come up more with the schedule, find that and also about this studio fusion podcast with Deborah E. Debra Anderson. And I will include that also in the show notes so you could check that out. And again, Happy New Year this year.

Later on the Asian year is the snake and I wonder what that could symbolize. But again focus on positive news and come back with that. And as I said in Swedish with Karin Koach we'll talk about creativity, inspiration and also I will add my two cents. That's how I could do this regarding podcasting and Podradio in Swedish. And this is one example of that.

Got inspired by his expression Minnesota Nice by Deborah Anderson thought was a good thing to talk about live short and sweet and then use that as an episode after editing it and adding show notes and see what could turn out of that. And I did also an Instagram photo with the different note cards for the podcasts. And also see here this pen from Ballograph, a Swedish manufacturer of ball pen and lead pen and other pencils and pens. And the note cards are from model 1927.

But we have had manufacturer, creator and business small business owner of that. On our show, pen meets paper. Penamette Papper in Swedish. And then, of course, I always have to end on a positive note here with the cheers saying, a sip here of tea and it's black tea. Twinings Earl Grey. And that's also a story for another time. The name of Earl Grey. Cheers. So with that said, talk to you soon again and Happy New Year. Bye for now. Sa.
