May 30, 2024 Amir Kassaei: Vom Unsinn des Lebens
Amir Kassaeis Geschichte startet in den Minenfeldern des Irak-Iran-Kriegs: Nach 18 Monaten an der Front macht sich der 15-jährige ganz allein auf den Weg über die Türkei nach Österreich.
Mit viel Einsatz und – wie er selbst sagt – „deutschen“ Tugenden lernt er innerhalb von vier Monaten Deutsch, macht sein Abitur und geht zum BWL-Studium nach Frankreich.
Es folgt eine Bilderbuchkarriere in der Werbewelt in der er auch zum Enfant terrible wird.
Über drei Jahrzehnte in der Branche wird er nicht nur Chief Creative Officer und Associate Partner bei DBB Deutschland und DBB Worldwide mit über 14.000 Mitarbeitern, sondern räumt auch mehr als 2.000 nationale und internationale Werbepreise ab und verwaltet die richtig großen Budgets.

In seiner Autobiographie "Vom Unsinn des Lebens" blickt er nun auf diese Zeit zurück und inspiriert uns Leser zu einem selbstbestimmten Leben entgegen aller äußeren Umstände.

In dieser Folge sprachen wir unter anderem über:
• einen sehr prägenden Moment während der Zivildienszeit
• Amirs unglaublichen Weg vom Kindersoldaten bis hin zum Kreativchef von DDB Worldwide
• warum wir Risiken in Kauf nehmen sollten, wenn wir an uns / unsere Ideen glauben
• warum es ihm immer egal war, was andere von ihm denken
• Sicherheit versus Risiko
• seine Kritik an der Werbebranche
• was er über den Trend von Nachhaltigkeits-Labels bei Agenturen denkt
• wie es für ihn war, die Reissleine zu ziehen und aus der Branche auszusteigen
• seinen Weg der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung
• warum wir jeden Tag aus der Perspektive eines Kindes leben sollten
• die Entwicklung, dass Personen des öffentlichen Lebens kaum noch anecken
• über den Mythos des Self-Made Man
und vieles mehr...

May 15, 2024 Mayla Wedekind: Das Meer, die Welle und Ich
Nach der Schule arbeitete Mayla Wedkind auf Bali als Surf-, Fitness- und Yogalehrerin, wo sie sich einen Namen in der Surfszene machte, bevor sie als Mentorin und Motivatorin jungen Frauen das Selbstvertrauen gab, ihren Weg in der von Männern dominierten Welt des Surfens zu finden.

Und doch stellte sie sich immer wieder die Fragen: Bin ich gut genug? Was, wenn ich versage? Doch Welle um Welle lernte Mayla sich freizumachen: von Anspruchsdenken und Ängsten. Von dem Wunsch, alles kontrollieren zu wollen, und von Perfektionismus.

In ihrer Autobiografie "Das Meer, die Welle und Ich", die voller Erkenntnisse steckt, zeigt Mayla, was auch wir vom Meer lernen können – über Mut, Vertrauen und den richtigen Flow im Leben.

In der heutigen Folge sprachen wir unter anderem über:
– wie man lernt, auf die eigene, innere Stimme zu hören
– warum der eigene Tribe so wichtig ist
– warum Loslassen oft besser ist, als sich an Dinge zu klammern
– warum Erwartungen uns nicht unbedingt glücklich machen
– wie das Mama-Dasein ihren Alltag verändert hat
– Bali vs rauhe Nordsee
– das Ego als Teil des Beginner-Mindset
