We discuss dating and gender roles in Finland, why Minna thinks go-getter Finnish women have made Finnish men a little too lazy, and why she prefers dating foreign men. She also shares her personal experience with the phenomenon of Finnish women “importing” boyfriends, the country’s drinking and sauna cultures, and Finnish family dynamics. Plus, Minna tells us how she turned her teenage dream into an international shoe brand, where she finds inspiration for her playful designs, and what it’s like navigating motherhood and entrepreneurship in a country known for its generous parental leave policies.For more from today's guest, Minna Parikka:Check out the website for Minna's brand minnaminna.comGet your copy of Girl Gone Wild from Bookshop.org or Amazon.Psst, Courtney has an 0nIyFan$, which is a horny way to support the show: onlyfans.com/cocopeepshowPrivate Parts Unknown is a proud member of the Pleasure Podcast network.
