After dozens of honest, uncomfortable, and inspiring conversations — it's time for this podcast to grow into its next form. I'm renaming the show to Berlin & Elsewhere to better reflect the voices, the questions, and the in-between spaces we explore together.

In this video, I share:

• Why I’m changing the name

• The meaning behind Berlin & Elsewhere
