Episode 53: Jan-Thomas: Gratitude, Change, and Breaking Janteloven

In this episode, host Susanne Holzweiler, founder of Holzweiler, sits down with one of Norway’s most recognizable stylists and TV personalities, Jan-Thomas. Known for his career as a hairdresser and makeup artist, Jan-Thomas shares the remarkable story of leaving Norway behind as a young man to spend 20 years in Los Angeles — chasing opportunities, learning resilience, and shaping the life he dreamed of.

Now back in Norway, he reflects on what has changed since those years abroad, both in society and in himself. With openness and warmth, Jan-Thomas talks about the importance of gratitude, how he has navigated challenges throughout his life, and why he believes “Janteloven” holds people back from realizing their true potential.

Together with Susanne, he explores how we can break free from limiting beliefs and embrace both individuality and community in a changing Norway.

This is a conversation about courage, transformation, and daring to live life on your own terms.
