Wind, Words & What Ifs: A Canadian’s Leap Into Danish Life

Apr 25, 2025

This week, I’m joined by Ian McCalder — a fellow Canadian, colleague, avid writer, drama enthusiast, and actor, with a truly fascinating story to share. In this episode, Ian reflects on his journey from growing up in Canada to making the bold move to Denmark, where he’s spent over a decade working in the renewable energy sector.

We explore what inspired his relocation, the cultural shifts he encountered, and some of the unexpected challenges he faced along the way. Ian also shares his personal experience with imposter syndrome — how it’s affected both his life and career, and the practical ways he’s learned to navigate and overcome it
