These people inspire me every day

I have had fantastic mentors in my professional career , you know who you are. I have told you and I have also written a book with an entire chapter about you; Christer, Ingemar, Göran, Keith.

I have also admired political leaders like Nelson Mandela and Ahmed Kathrada, who I also had the honor to meet once. A moment never to forget.

In addition I have had a group of people in different categories, like in business, sports, art, music, litterature – that I have followed and been inspired by.

Here are eight men & eight women that still inspire me every day.

I have met most of these people and I have followed their careers, accomplishments and efforts. They are my heroes and in many ways my role models, my idols.

Three additional people that I have to mention in this context are; my friend Enrique Canon, an activist and a great person, my friend Mats Olsson, a Swedish journalist with the best pen and – naturally – Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was born 30 kilometers from where I write this blogpost and from where he did his first career goals for my city, for my football club – Malmö.

People that matters. People that matters to me.
