I am a paid contributor (SWE1 AB, on behalf of Aron Anderson AB), disclosed on my user page, so I am not editing the article myself.

Specific text to be added, in the "Adventuring" section directly after the sentence "Anderson works as a motivational speaker.":

In 2016 Anderson received Stora Talarpriset, an annual Swedish award for public speakers presented by P&P Meetings.^[1]

Reason for the change: the body only states that he works as a motivational speaker, sourced to a podcast and a speaker listing. The award is the one dated data point about the speaking career that does not come from the subject's own channels.

References: the P&P Meetings page above, which is the organiser's own winners list. Note that the source spells the surname "Andersson"; that it is the same person follows from the award being presented at the launch of the South Pole expedition in 2016, which the article already covers. Feel free to decline if you consider the award not notable enough. Thanks. Simon1013 (talk) 12:46, 21 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
