The Modern Renaissance - ft. Soren Trampedach - DSMTL.05

When you google him, you'll look up Soren Trampendach and find details of a truly well-traveled man. A thought-leader, speaker, innovator and visionary, who has proven he can execute big goals and new ideas.

When you meet him in person, you'll just look up. 

This towering Viking warrior carries himself in a way I have so much respect for. He walks with confidence, but not arrogance, and despite his intimating frame he has an incredibly disarming and warm nature. He is willing to show vulnerability, and is wonderfully self-aware of his own values. You can tell he backs himself, while also keeping an open mind.

I wanted to introduce Soren to you for several reasons. Yes, he is the creative founder and designer of Workclub, where we produce our show from, and in which I am a member. I admire the space and the philosophy of the business, so there's that.

More importantly though it was because Soren exudes passion, equally for the grand vision as he does the finest detail. And I've found this to be rare.

As a visionary leader, he seems to be a continuous student of learning, remaining agile and open to pivoting at a moments notice, making adaptability one of his most valued qualities in his team. You can tell in the way he observes the world, and speaks openly of his own interpretation of it.

Then there's the love of details.

As a creative, when Soren took me through Workclub for the first time, I was blown away by his love for every little piece of furniture and design. So intentful. So purposeful. Every chair had a story, every light had a history, every artwork had a meaning. Every stitch of every fabric was described to me like a mother describing their child, with genuine all-knowing love. 

And my favourite part, this is only a fraction of what Soren has created at Workclub. His proudest accomplishment is the flexible eco-system he has created for the members and businesses with the space. 

It's about defining and creating the future of work. Hell, it is the future of work. 

So we chat about what that means, what hardships he had to go through along the way, and how being flexible with your outcome vision, but not your values, is what's going to get you on the path to success.
