In this episode of Inside Octus: People in Focus, Jenny Bain speaks with Tejs Broberg about competition, leadership, and learning when winning is no longer the point. Tejs shares his early life growing up in a small town in Denmark and how a childhood rooted in sports and community eventually led him to ski racing and the long road to the 1998 Nagano Olympics (02:24). He reflects on how failure shaped his mindset early on, including the realization that happiness does not come from podiums or rankings, but from loving the work itself and committing to the journey (11:05). The conversation explores how that philosophy carried into leadership and entrepreneurship, including founding FinDox, navigating high-risk startup environments, and ultimately joining Octus to help scale data and workflow alongside editorial insight (14:27).
Tejs discusses building high-performance teams grounded in trust, ownership, and psychological safety, as well as his approach to conflict, decision-making, and long-term relationships (22:29). As the conversation turns personal, Tejs reflects on parenthood, therapy, love, and the idea of “enough,” including why more is not always better and why fairness and perspective matter more than status or accumulation (37:21).
A thoughtful conversation about ambition without ego, leadership without noise, and choosing a life built on purpose rather than outcomes.
