From Sweden to Republikken: Embracing Change
Marcus Bergquist, hailing from Malmo, Sweden, shared his transformative journey from tackling social issues to studying business development. He opened up about the motivation behind his drastic career shift, seeking a fresh perspective and new challenges outside the familiar realm of social work.
Education as a Gateway to Innovation
Driven by a desire to engage with the world differently, Marcus turned to education as a tool for change. His decision to dive into business development was spurred by his experiences with social work, where he saw the same patterns repeating. At his two-month internship Republikken, Marcus leverages his educational pursuits to blend practical business strategies with his deep understanding of societal challenges, aiming to create impactful, sustainable business practices.
Digital Nomadism: A New Age Lifestyle
Marcus also introduced us to his vision of digital nomadism, a lifestyle that allows him to blend work and travel seamlessly. This concept is increasingly popular at Republikken, where many are drawn to the idea of working remotely from sunny locations during the dreary Scandinavian winters. Marcus plans to split his time between Manila and Scandinavia, illustrating a perfect balance of work, travel, and lifestyle flexibility.
Marcus’s story is a vivid example of how Republikken supports individuals in navigating through their careers from social sectors to innovative business roles. It highlights the space’s unique ability to foster an environment where learning, growth, and the pursuit of personal aspirations go hand in hand.
