I usually write about set reviews or LEGO happenings so this one is a bit different. I found a podcast listed last week on NPR. The title is “Wisdom From the Top” and the host is Guy Raz. He interviewed Jørgen Vig Knudstorp who was the CEO from 2004 until 2017 and is known for taking LEGO out of a bad place and then growing it to the strong performing company that it now is. He is currently a member of LEGO’s Board of Directors and the Executive Chairman. You can read his bio on LEGO’s site here.

The podcast is about an hour long, but I found it quite interesting. It’s cool to hear about LEGO from the top versus hearing about it from designers or other members of the fan community. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. The interview was from 2019, but they re-released it this year.
Happy listening! Could be a good opportunity to build at listen at the same time.
