Into Cold Water

Ep. 20 - In this episode, Nicolas Arndt and I talked about our experience of doing a 100K hike, in less than 24 hours, called Mammutmarsch. It has been by far the most challenging and rewarding event we've ever made and we wanted to share our experience with all of you. From how setting short terms goals can make the difference between reaching or not the finish line, to how simple tricks like smiling can trick your brain to keep moving forward.

Ep. 18 - In this episode, Vanessa Westphal shared the story of how she turned a dream she had one night into Choosy, her startup company. We also took some time to talk about how changing the meaning of words we use every day, can have the most significant effect on how we perceive our life and the outcome of our work.  This is...Into Cold Water

Ep. 17 - In this episode, Irene Klemm and I talked about how she decided to leave her promising career in consulting to build her own company, Edurino. Besides going through the inspiring beginnings of her startup, we also discussed how we all have the power to change the meaning of words like 'failure'.

Ep. 16 - In this episode, Cat Bigney and I talked about the importance of adaptability, one of the most ancient skills we inherit from our ancestors, as well as how having no boundaries can get us to achieve our goals, and, last but not least, how we must allow ourselves to be comfortable with discomfort.

Ep. 15 - In this episode, Milita Rana shared her story about how she had to overcome poverty and gender disparity in her home country, India, as well as her journey to find her new passion: ultra running. She also reminded me of a simple but powerful thing we all should keep in mind: always be yourself, and never give up.

Ep. 14 -  In this episode, I chat with Jonas Deichmann, the first person to do a triathlon around the world; in other words, the distance of 120  Ironmans. But beyond the massive and inspiring accomplishment, Jonas and I talked about what's the secret that allowed him to swim, bike, and run more than 27,000 KM without ever doubting if he could make it. What is the mindset that fired him to reach his goal, or as he says "run from taco to taco"? Check it out!

Ep. 13 - These days we are just Living la Vida VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous), as Philip Horvath accurately defines it, and more often than not, I think we should stop for a moment and ask ourselves, what do I need right now? Why do I do what I do? I talked to Philip about this and he showed me a very simple but effective technique we can all do in our daily lives to 'stop the wheel' for a second, recalibrate ourselves, and be present in the moment.

Ep. 12 - I think there is no better quote to describe this episode than "when there is a will, there is a way". I am convinced that we are responsible for creating our own opportunities and Natalia's stories are a great testimony of it.
