about me
the short version
I'm Mikko, a highly introspective social introvert who spends most of his time solving problems, learning something new, or trying to make sense of my thoughts.
Professionally, I want to become a great leader and builder of successful organizations — in business and sports.
the slightly longer version
My name is Mikko Laksola, but many call me Löki.
I'm highly introspective, which is to say, I have a very active brain — always solving problems, asking questions, trying to understand, or going through different scenarios of, well, whatever. This is both my greatest strength and my biggest weakness. On a good day, I can be smart, thoughtful, and creative. On a bad day, I get lost inside my own head, overthink, and try to solve problems that don't need solving.
I'm also a social introvert who loves deep conversations about anything, really. I love that little jolt in my brain when I experience a new perspective which causes me to challenge or even change my own beliefs.
I'm interested in many things, including:
- business & leadership (how to create and lead successful organizations)
- hockey (the game and the management/business side)
- writing
- philosophy
- reading
- Japanese culture
- graphic (logo/brand) design (I've actually designed some logos myself, like the one for Freya Yarn)
- archery
- plus so much more
I'm Finnish and also speak English and German. My plan is to one day add Japanese to that list.
I look like this.
