Background

About Magnus Ormestad

In 2013, driven by curiosity and a passion for storytelling, I left a stable career to start a podcast—before podcasts were mainstream. Without prior experience, I taught myself everything: recording, editing, and building an engaged audience from scratch. This journey reflects not only my entrepreneurial spirit but also my determination to learn and adapt in the face of new challenges. My academic background showcases my analytical abilities and capacity to tackle complex problems, while my professional experiences highlight my drive to work socially and collaboratively. As a Content Manager at Acamp, I contributed to building a brand from the ground up. Working closely with the founding team and experienced branding experts, I developed strategic copywriting, established the brand's tonality, and refined its positioning. With over 1.5 years in this role and more than 10 years in the outdoor and tourism industry, I bring a deep understanding of brand storytelling and market dynamics. My passion lies in uncovering, creating, and sharing compelling stories. At Acamp, I led diverse initiatives, including managing print advertisements, writing native articles, and collaborating with renowned brands. I also organized and executed brand-focused events, representing Acamp in local tourism networks and at major industry gatherings. In addition, I am the founder and host of Husky Productions, a podcast where I interview pioneers, industry leaders, X Games champions, adventurers, athletes, scientists, filmmakers, and other inspiring individuals. These conversations explore the heart and passion driving their adventurous lives, showcasing a wide range of perspectives and achievements. B Sc in Political science / University Degree in Chinese + East Asian economy, politics & history
