It’s hard to imagine the Oslo’s contemporary culinary scene without Oslo Raw. Established in 2016, it’s developed something of a cult following. Lines snake around the street outside its doors; people are happy to queue to sample its menu, which is a rare sight in Oslo. Oslo Raw’s huge success is down in no small part to Tiril Refsum, its founder and our guest this week on Take a Moment.

Tiril and Susanne have a lot in common. Not only are they businesswomen at the helm of their own companies, self care and mindfulness also play a key role in how they both lead both their professional and personal lives. As Tiril herself says, the pair are ‘living their brands’, meaning that Holzweiler and Oslo Raw respectively are representative of their principles and lifestyles. When you’re this passionate about what you do, there’s no way that the quality of the end product won’t be excellent.

Oslo Raw recently celebrated its eighth birthday, and Susanne and Tiril discuss growing with your brand. Tiril says that personal growth is integral to the strength of your business because ‘strong branches grow from deep roots.’ Running a business on your own is no small task, and Tiril fills Susanne in on her methods of finding calm amidst the chaos: including breathwork, taking things slower and simply allowing herself to be happy.
