In this episode, our US friends at the Deep Dive Podcast delve into the raw and resilient journey of Frederick-Sebastian Krause, known as "Mr. Akvavit."
From the ambitious launch of SIX NORDICS and a dream of globalizing aquavit to navigating through significant personal and professional setbacks, Frederik’s story captures the relentless spirit of an entrepreneur who plays to win.
Join hosts Camilla Enge and Christian Marcus, alongside Frederik, as they unpack the ups and downs of his seven-year journey. The conversation explores not only the tactical lessons from building a business but also the emotional impact of seeing that dream dissolve. With openness, Frederik shares his reflections on dealing with guilt, shame, and the mental toll of going bankrupt.
But it’s also a story of resilience. The episode reveals how Frederik found strength in his community, family, and a renewed focus on mental health, inspired in part by Brené Brown’s insights on vulnerability. This is a conversation that looks beyond the struggles to the powerful lessons learned and the path forward.
