    I just love you guys...
    There are many foreigners in Denmark who could learn a lot from you... 👍
    You have the right understanding of how the Danes are, how we think and function on a personal level, as well as how things work in Denmark, very very impressive...!!!
    You have my full respect...!!!
    Keep up the good work guys and god bless you... 🙏

    I think most people and work places in Denmark are not influenced by USA. Most look at work place culture in USA and feel sorry for USA. No one really wants the work life balance of USA. No maternity leave, no holidays etc etc. Don’t worry, no one in Denmark looks to USA for inspiration.
    I wouldn’t want to have work life balance I had in New Zealand, where I am born and raised, either. Denmark is great.
    Loved your show today. Mike really had great insight and was pretty accurate. So interesting hearing everyone explain the way American people are in general.

      I strongly resent the term globalization if, basically, it just means usa-ification. And otherwise, too, for that matter. Who wants Japanese or Chinese work culture?

      @@williamjones4716 we know because there are tons of Americans on youtube and other social media telling about it, both Americans living in the US now and Americans who moved to a place in Europe and make videos about the diff.

    I'm employed as a "studentermedhjælper" at a ministerial agency. I'm basically a paid intern, while I study. As a student I have (temporarily) been responsible for and managing an entire area (subsidy schemes) of my team's assignments, have written letters of recommendations to agency and government officials, done consultation work and a whoooooooole lot more. From what I've heard of student intern jobs outside of Denmark, I could not imagine a student getting that much responsibility anywhere besides in Denmark. The level of trust here is HIGH.
    And yes, I do have imposter syndrome XD

      I think it is pretty normal here, that as a student if you show that you can handle challenges you will be allowed to do stuff pretty much like a normal employee - why not.
      I once had a student job as sort the evening receptionist at a big resort. I was 18 at the time and the finances of the resort was sort under reconstruction, so some evenings the CEO, which was some big shot wizard put in by the creditors, would be in his office doing all sorts to find way to optimize, strategize and so on. And at times the CEO would sort of ping pong ideas with me, totally taking in the observations and thoughts I had as valid input. For me that was a big thing and something I have made sure to remember whenever there is students working around me. Often I also find those students to be full of ideas, willing to be challenged and more, so much so in fact that one at times needs to make sure they do not take on to much.

    Interesting conversation, and enjoyed learning about the differences between US and DK in the workplace.
    Mike, can you return and say a bit more about _what kind of work you do_ , apart from managing? Does it take all your time, since you left the podcast? I think you should re-host.🙂
    Annie, several times you just say "love" ...not sure if you're aware of it yourself, or just thinking out loud...like I'm doing here.
    Derek, I appreciate your honesty and humour.😊 When I hear about the American workplace, where you can't leave if you're ill, I shake my head. Completely unfair and unhealthy.

    I would say only a small minority of people in Denmark Care about a Multicultural workplace, We just dont care where you come from.. If you bring a smile do your job in general we will like you.. Americans think everybody care so much about Race and Cultures. The only think that is important is are you a nice person that do your work and pay your Tax .. Also At work your a Co worker your not a Friend, I think that is why we dont do tons of small talk.. I lived in the US for 1 year as well. And to me everybody was pretending to be a Friend all the time it was fake as shit but its just their way of trying to be nice.. Just be nice, Nice is not taking up 30 min of my life telling me your life story that I really dont Care about.. But anyway yet another great show you put on keep going .=)

    I have heard Americans say they have to pay taxes to usa, even when living and working in a foreign country. Is that true? And if so, does it then mean you pay even more taxes or is that tax deducted from what you pay to the country you live and work in?

    Derek, why doesn't Mike cohost the Podcast anymore?
    What does Mike do apart from you, workwise?
    Also, it would be interesting to listen to a video wherein we learn what both of your income is from both UA-cam and your other endeavors.
    I have always been curious as to how people survive and thrive creating YT content here and working in a foreign country.
    Apologies if I appear personal.
    My intent has often been misunderstood, which saddens me.
    I never mean to be rude.
    I am just naturally inquisitive.
