00:00:00.240 Greetings my esteemed subscribers. Today I thought to talk a bit about my book Dauntless.
00:00:06.860 I mentioned it briefly in the Wild Hunt challenge video I made a while back,
00:00:13.360 but as I said in that video I was going to make a separate video on the book later on, so this is that video.
00:00:21.100 No, it was actually four years, almost four years ago, since I also made a video on this channel saying that I will write a book.
00:00:31.320 So it took a good few years to complete and most of it is written over the last two years.
00:00:38.420 I would say the chapters written back in late 2015 and early 2016,
00:00:46.000 most of it I had to rewrite because, well, I have matured a bit over these years
00:00:52.080 and the language is a bit better, I hope, now at least.
00:00:56.160 So that is the story there.
00:00:59.580 And why did I want to write a book?
00:01:01.580 Well, basically it is so I could have all of my teachings, so to speak, in one place.
00:01:08.920 So I can have read this book and you will get a good view of my views on training, nutrition, philosophy, politics, worldview, everything like that.
00:01:19.880 So if you want to know that, you can order the book from any of the links in the description box.
00:01:26.600 And for anyone who's already read it and come back with the positive feedback to me, thank you so much.
00:01:31.980 It is very heartfelt indeed and I feel extremely motivated to keep writing and I have actually started upon my next book.
00:01:41.780 Not only because I feel so motivated by your kind words, but also because I had, of course, planned to write more books.
00:01:50.740 This is something I wanted to do for a long time.
00:01:53.720 I've always wanted to write books and I have a lot of things to say
00:01:57.740 and to be able to do it via the written language in books is a privilege in my view.
00:02:04.500 But anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has bought it and who has read it and come with good words of it.
00:02:12.480 So that is the status on the book itself.
00:02:17.040 Now, I also thought to give an update upon Jotunheim nutrition
00:02:21.040 because I know a lot of my lads in good old America and Canada are asking
00:02:28.220 when is Jotunheim nutrition available in Vinland
00:02:31.700 and it's actually worth for me to elaborate on this in a video.
00:02:37.880 I, of course, talk a bit about it on my Instagram too.
00:02:41.240 But the reason is that in Sweden, when it comes to dairy products, production of whey,
00:02:49.780 everything that is related to foods are heavily regulated.
00:02:55.480 So if we look upon treatment of cows that produce dairy is very, very high in Sweden.
00:03:01.980 I would say the highest in the world.
00:03:04.800 Sweden is extreme in some cases in a bad way, but we're also extreme in some cases in a good way.
00:03:10.420 So I know that the whey protein that I sell that are being done by Swedish cows on Swedish farms to Swedish customers
00:03:18.780 or customers in Sweden at least, I know those cows are being treated fairly
00:03:24.040 because I've said this before, I'll say it again, I've grown up in the countryside.
00:03:27.620 I've seen how these cows live. 0.81
00:03:29.520 They go out in their pastures and they have, from what I've seen, a good and decent life.
00:03:35.340 Now, I'm not particularly comfortable with setting up some sort of manufacturing
00:03:43.700 or buying the whey in American factories because I don't know how they are being treated.
00:03:53.060 I know full well the standard of the product that I can sell here in Sweden.
00:03:58.180 I know the quality.
00:03:59.100 I can't do the same thing in America and I can't ship food halfway across the world
00:04:05.980 because it is not sustainable and it's not congruent with my personal philosophy.
00:04:11.520 So two things stand in the way of Jotanam Nutrition opening up in America.
00:04:16.680 So what I would have to do and hopefully, I don't know, but if everything goes according to plan,
00:04:22.740 maybe I can find a good solid farmer who can supply ethically sourced whey in America
00:04:30.720 that I can then sell on to customers there because I've seen the darker sides of both the dairy industry in America
00:04:41.040 and also of the supplement industry because you don't have the same levels of testing in America as you have in Sweden.
00:04:49.980 So for my products, for example, here, I have plenty of certificates.
00:04:55.240 American companies usually do not have the same.
00:04:58.480 So some advice for you all in America if you are buying whey protein, for example,
00:05:04.960 do trace the source of them.
00:05:07.180 Do check out where they are coming from.
00:05:10.700 Check out what sort of facility the dairy that the whey is being made out of, where does it come from?
00:05:18.500 Are the cows being treated fairly?
00:05:21.340 And this also, even if you don't care about the cows, the resulting product will be better if the cow feels better.
00:05:28.260 So that is the situation there.
00:05:31.440 But again, I would absolutely love to open up Jotanam Nutrition to Canada and the US,
00:05:38.140 but it's a long way there.
00:05:39.600 And I want to make sure that when I sell a product, that it's legit.
00:05:44.360 I don't want to sell on a whey from mistreated cows full of dodgy chemicals and all sorts of metals in. 0.75
00:05:53.760 I want to keep it clean.
00:05:55.100 I want to have it at the same standard as I have here in Sweden.
00:05:59.120 So anyway, thank you for watching and have a great weekend ahead.
