“Stop looking for happiness in the same place where you consistently lose it.” - Tomi

Starting off with this strong quote that Tomi just randomly dropped during the podcast..or maybe not that randomly… I guess you will have to find out!

Tomi is a great friend and one of the most crazy people I know. And that in a good and admirable way. He is highly ambitious and has the biggest heart. This podcast was recorded back in October and is only coming up now due to a lot of different circumstances. 

But I hope that this episode can light up some curiosity in you and actually makes you take the next step. I think it was a beautiful episode with a lot of different ideas and points from Tomi that you can take away from this episode!

I really enjoyed it and I hope you do too!
Be good and be safe

I love long conversations and this girl is the perfect partner for that. Sophie, my dear, is a deep thinker and such an inspirational woman. 

She is studying International Finance at Frankfurt University and we met while she was an Erasmus student in Denmark.

“Sophie hit emotional puberty when she was 6-years-old” - Sophie's mom

Disclaimer: We did it via zoom and I had my headphones on which have a VERY bad microphone and because I am an amateur, I didn't check the quality and that is why the audio is so bad from my side. Luckily I was having a conversation with the best storyteller, so I let Sophie talk for most of the time, which worked very well.
