This week on The Coffee Pod, Kelly sat down with Max: a self-employed journalist and editor who moved from Hamburg to Aarhus after his husband was headhunted for a job.
Max’s background is in journalism and communications, having worked across major German media outlets, a comms agency and an events agency before the move. Now self-employed, he splits his time between editing for a large German publisher and freelance journalism, all while navigating very different client rules around AI use: some clients ban it outright while others lean in.
In this episode, Max shares:
* Why moving just 300km felt like a bigger culture shock than expected
* How he helped drive AI initiatives at his old company, not to replace himself, but to shape how it gets used responsibly
* Why he’s now learning Mandarin ahead of a trip to China
* His goal to land his first Danish client and build a more local network
If you’ve ever navigated a “similar but different” move abroad or wondered how journalists are actually using AI day to day, Max’s story is for you.
