we then selected 15 people from where we thought we could maybe get some strong

thought we could maybe get some strong

thought we could maybe get some strong reactions then we got a call from the

reactions then we got a call from the

reactions then we got a call from the DNA company telling us that something

DNA company telling us that something

DNA company telling us that something really rare came up because among these

really rare came up because among these

really rare came up because among these 67 people we tested it turned out the

67 people we tested it turned out the

67 people we tested it turned out the two of them were actually cousins

yeah so the DNA journey is very much

yeah so the DNA journey is very much about taking a journey exploring your

about taking a journey exploring your

about taking a journey exploring your own diversity but it’s also about a

own diversity but it’s also about a

own diversity but it’s also about a journey where you can actually travel to

journey where you can actually travel to

journey where you can actually travel to the places you’re from and maybe you

the places you’re from and maybe you

don’t know where you’re from but then I

don’t know where you’re from but then I know that you at least one of you are

know that you at least one of you are

know that you at least one of you are able to win a DNA kit I heard that

able to win a DNA kit I heard that

able to win a DNA kit I heard that earlier today so that’s really exciting

earlier today so that’s really exciting

earlier today so that’s really exciting I have to say that the DNA journey has

I have to say that the DNA journey has

I have to say that the DNA journey has been an incredible experience for me

been an incredible experience for me

been an incredible experience for me personally as well I was there behind

personally as well I was there behind

personally as well I was there behind the scene during the entire shooting and

what really struck me was that even the participants who actually got a result

participants who actually got a result

participants who actually got a result that was very close to what they

that was very close to what they

that was very close to what they predicted also seemed to react quite

predicted also seemed to react quite

predicted also seemed to react quite heavily and I think it probably has to

heavily and I think it probably has to

also had to make a DNA test among all the employees and we are a

among all the employees and we are a

among all the employees and we are a company who celebrates diversity so I

company who celebrates diversity so I

company who celebrates diversity so I think some of the employees were

think some of the employees were

think some of the employees were actually a bit disappointed when they

actually a bit disappointed when they

actually a bit disappointed when they saw the results because now we all aim

saw the results because now we all aim

saw the results because now we all aim to have a very diverse profile we

to have a very diverse profile we

to have a very diverse profile we actually had one who or has a 100% from

actually had one who or has a 100% from

actually had one who or has a 100% from just one region which is really really

just one region which is really really

just one region which is really really rare and also one with 99 and 98 but in

rare and also one with 99 and 98 but in

rare and also one with 99 and 98 but in general most of us actually have a DNA

general most of us actually have a DNA

general most of us actually have a DNA where we come from

where we come from

where we come from maybe four or five regions I think so

maybe four or five regions I think so

maybe four or five regions I think so all in all a very diverse crowd and I

all in all a very diverse crowd and I

all in all a very diverse crowd and I think that’s also reflected in our DNA

think that’s also reflected in our DNA

think that’s also reflected in our DNA my own profile looks like this I’m 70%

my own profile looks like this I’m 70%

my own profile looks like this I’m 70% from Scandinavia 22% from Great Britain

from Scandinavia 22% from Great Britain

from Scandinavia 22% from Great Britain so some would say a pretty strong Viking

so some would say a pretty strong Viking

so some would say a pretty strong Viking profile sometimes it’s good to be a

profile sometimes it’s good to be a

profile sometimes it’s good to be a Viking sometimes it’s not I’d look at it

Viking sometimes it’s not I’d look at it

Viking sometimes it’s not I’d look at it as positively I have 2% from West Europe

as positively I have 2% from West Europe

as positively I have 2% from West Europe which is Germany I knew that from the
