Great to guest lecture again this spring in Dr. Roberto Bruni’s place branding course at the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio. We explored Sweden through history, culture, food, literature, and even generative AI. Always a pleasure to connect with curious minds. Looking forward to next time!
