Amp Eleven’s Henrik Lie-Nielsen joined journalist Kristine Askvik for Shifter’s podcast, published on 29 July 2026. The episode’s Norwegian title calls for a “black belt in AI”.

Shifter’s episode description highlights two themes: how companies should respond to AI, and Henrik’s encouragement to hire juniors. It also introduces his work in early-stage investing and his role on Investinor’s board.

Our take: build AI skills and keep building the team. For company leaders, that means making room for people to learn while putting new tools to work. A black belt still takes practice.

The conversation is in Norwegian.
