Why The Internet Is Changing & Europe Might Be Left Behind"

In this eye-opening episode, I’m joined by Elia Elenius, the COO of Videobot, a company at the forefront of reshaping how we engage with the internet. We unpack the rise of video as the dominant form of online communication, and why static websites are a relic of the past.

Elia shares the origin story of Videobot—a platform that fuses TikTok-like storytelling with chatbot functionality—and explains why the future of digital experience is short, snappy, and interactive. We dive into the evolution of SEO in the age of AI, the skillsets modern marketers actually need, and why emotional connection is the new currency for online businesses.

But this conversation goes deeper.

We explore the stagnation of Finland’s economy, the cultural risk-aversion plaguing Europe, and the damaging impact of overregulation—especially in light of the EU’s new AI Act. Elia holds nothing back in critiquing the European startup landscape, while also reflecting on raising children in an era of comfort and abundance.

This episode is a mix of hard truths, tactical insight, and societal reflection. If you're a builder, creator, founder, or just someone trying to understand where the world is going—this one’s for you.
