👉🏻🤯➡️🧘You might have encountered situations which totally stressed you out, while others were super calm about it. Or maybe the other way around. And often times that has to do with perspectives.

😱🐕➡️🤗🐕Some people are for example really freaked out about dogs, as they might have been bitten at an early age, or as the have consumed content which displayed dogs as super aggressive. So when they walk up to a dog, they start sweating and being nervous. Another person growing up with a dog, might be walking towards that same dog, with a smile on their face, wanting to pet it. Both people are in the same situation, yet their perspective makes the react so differently.

👥🎙👩‍🎨👀Our podcast is created to provide you as many perspectives as possible, through our interviews and impulses. Our hope is to create more understanding and angles, to enable you to build your own picture about possibilities and future decisions, without limiting yourself.

❓🔎🎧How does that work? Check out this episode, as I go into it.

⏱🧒🤷‍♂️🏫Lately, I have encountered quite a few people that don’t really know what to do after high school. Sure uni, college, are the most common choices, as they usually provide a nice environment for learning and connecting with others. But is that it, is uni the final direction? It might be, it might not be. And to give you an example for a journey, that happened all around the subject of: “What do I actually want to do?”, I want to introduce you to Diego Stranger Mackinnon.

🇨🇱🎓⛷🇨🇦Diego is from Chile and he went on quite a journey, starting off studying as an engineer, becoming a skiing instructor, getting injured, recovering for eight months, competing in national and international free ride skiing competitions, moving to Canada, becoming a biking instructor, jobbing as a dishwasher to raise money, going back and forth in jobs as an engineer. If that roller-coaster hasn’t made up for a great story jet, then let me tell you: This interview is definitely the one for you, if feel like you are cornered in a tricky life-situation, with no way out. Be ready to get inspired by Diego, as he has taken a ton of ups and downs in this roller-coaster of life, providing a lot of super helpful insights, provided by his journey.

🎧🎙🆕🛤Tune in and be ready to open up to new possibilities and ways, you might be doubtful about. Along with that towards the end of the interview, Diego shares his perspective on the connection between people, looking at signs, hearing, listening, and being more aware.

🤔🤷🤩Do you know and appreciate what you have?

🕐👀🔙🏝Lately, I was looking back at my past travels, the journeys I was able to do. And I have gotten a little bit nostalgic, along with a feeling of: „Let’s go!“
The only thing is Corona, doesn’t share too many opportunities for that right now. So for a day or two, I happened to pick up a little complaining streak, where I mentioned the situation and those limitations quite a few times, being upset about it. And fortunately, a friend of mine gave me a reminder: „What are you so upset about? Look at all the things you do have, instead of always eyeing for the things you can’t have right now“.

🗣👤❗🙏 And that was actually a necessary confrontation for me, as I realized his point. With that in mind, I took a couple of deep breaths, and I reassessed the situation again, focussing on the thing I am thankful for. What are things that you are troubled with, or which you don’t feel very well about? Maybe picking up the phone and talking to a friend is the perspective change you need to get back towards appreciating more. Check out this podcast if you want to hear a little bit about my list of thankful things, which gives me a lot of energy and drive.

🤾‍♂️🏈⚽Everything in life is a trade...... No, I am not trying to get you into a masterclass 😉, but in my opinion, this statement goes a long way.

You can choose to work, or to relax, you can choose to go out with friends, or to build your brand. Now don’t get me wrong, I am NOT trying to tell you: "Drop your friends and your parties and work!!!"

But be aware, that certain benchmarks don’t come without sacrifice, and your day has 24h meaning you choose the blend of your day and time schedule. Trust me, it is not too bad not being a soccer or football star, as we might be having a better life......



🙋‍♀️❓📈🤷You might be asking: "You sure???". Guess what that's today's podcast topic as I go through some insights about "achieved people in their fields". "You mean successful, right?", no, that's where most people make the mistake, in my opinion. I am talking about people that have dedicated their life towards one thing, and they are mostly perceived as successful, but are they? Are they successful in their own eyes? And are they always happy to be in the spotlight...... I don’t know, guess you gotta ask them.


👁‍🗨🎧🎙But if you just wanna have my view, the podcast will do!

🎧🎶🤩“I say sun”,” Serotonin” and” Work It” are my go-to songs, when it comes to my work and chill playlist. The flow I feel when I hear those songs is incredible.


🤔🎉🎙Guess what………..I managed to get Mick Mazoo on the interview, which is huge because as I already mentioned, his music is always coming up when I am hanging out with my friends or during work. But secondly, and even more importantly, who is the person behind the computer, who is the person putting those slick beats together, and what drives him?


🕴🔜🎧We jumped right in with those questions, went into his song production and his personal motivators, all I can say about this Interview: “Don’t miss it!”


🤷❗🔎🔊If you ask yourself, why I put so much emphasis on it, then check out his music to get a feel for the work he is putting out, and then tune back in, you will not regret it.

🤗❓💳🧒And give hugs to anyone..... No that's not quite the tune here, but I want to encourage you to give yourself a little bit of credit from time to time.


🤔🔙📈🎖I recently reflected that I, and assumably quite a few other people miss the opportunity of actually looking back at the actions and achievements they reached. A lot of times it happens for me because I am so caught up, by meeting friends, traveling, or I do not even realize what I am doing daily.


🤩🤏🏋️‍♂️🤝Appreciate the small things, losing 2 kg or gaining them, depending on the goal you are trying to reach with your body, closing a deal on your job, or integrate a new healthy habit in your daily life.


🔙🎖⛽🔋Once I go back to those achievements, I get fueled with new energy. Check out the podcast, as I go into my personal examples and my thoughts about it. Also don’t forget to check out the interview this weekend, as I have an interview with one of my favorite DJ’s Mick Mazoo.

🧠☁️Today I have a quick impulse, as I was a little bit cloudy, a little bit unclear those last days. And the one thing I really needed is space for myself, without distraction.

❓🤔What does that mean?

⏳🧒❌👨‍👩‍👧‍👧For me, that means time by myself, without any friends, or family around. Just me and maybe my dog. This space of being with yourself has given me the opportunity to actually go into meditation, without being bothered by other thoughts, like: “I only have time from now till XX:XX, or my friend is coming over, and I would like to do XYZ…”. It gives you time, to take the pace out of your daily rush.

🏞↔️🛠This environment will give you space to get to work on yourself, your own thoughts, and unaddressed ideas, it will help you to slow down and clear the fog that might be going on in your head.

❌🔎🌫And for me this fog is nothing, which I discover like: “Wowow here we go again, it’s time for a meditation, its time for myself” It is actually something I am not even realizing too much if I am not reminding myself consciously. Most of the time I get caught up, having a good time with my friends and family, which I love doing 100%, but slowly and unrecognized it is drawing me away from being focused on my project or work.

👀🔙😯🗓So every now and then, when I look back, and I realize ….. “I haven’t really followed a clear path those last weeks, and I am quite uncertain in some things, quite uninspired, then I figure, that I should implement an action, which allows me to focus on myself and to create clarity. For me, that is mostly meditation, but it can also be taking a long and thoughtful walk, without headphones, without a podcast, without any distractions, just focusing on nature and yourself. Another way can be a thoughtful time, while doing something, when you are in a complete routine, like washing the dishes, or doing your workout, preferably an action where you really don’t have to think.

🛀🧘‍♂️🤩The feeling you have afterward, being completely calm and centered, is amazing. And to me it is like taking a shower, in the beginning, it is just something necessary to do, but once you are in it, you don’t really wanna get out, because it is quite enjoyable. I hope you can relate, I recommend you to listen to the podcast and more importantly to look for those opportunities of creating space for yourself.

Insight into Emelys Canada experience which held quite a couple of surprises.

🌨🗓🏃‍♀️It's November 2019, the A-levels are done, no job, no distractions, time is a given…. It is go-time for Emely. One last goodbye-party and here she goes. Into a 10 month journey to Canada, the country is certain, yet the experience is not.

🧐🔙🔁 And looking back at it, the most constant thing during her time was probably "change". Change of jobs, change of the living situation, change of all normal standards due to COVID, and also a change of perspective about her process.

🗺🏂🏔What was planned to be a journey into a new life as a snowboard instructor, turned out to be a journey closer to herself. And in today's interview, Emely shares her experiences which are…. quite a lot. This episode doesn’t just present a great journey, with a ton of unexpected turns, it furthermore is a great exchange of beliefs and realizations, which are super powerful. We go into:

📈🧠creating a positive mindset and the incredible power of it

💁‍♀️⏳the necessity of being patient

🙏📈trusting your own process

🤗🔓🚪how an optimistic approach can unlock doors, you would never even have imagined

🙇‍♀️🤷‍♀️rethinking expectations, because sometimes you just have to take what you get

🧍‍♀️↔️🗺If you are standing in front of a decision about going abroad, you went abroad, or you just want to stir up the pod and try something new, then this podcast is the perfect fit for you, as it presents a very personal, but relatable experience with sooo much value.

🧐🎙🎧Check out the podcast to get the whole story.

🗣🔇🦻It happens to me from time to time, when I am in a conversation with someone else, that I think: “Alright, alright gotcha ….. I got your message”. The challenge with that though is the fact that I stop actively listening once I get to that point, preparing myself to intervene and to provide my input. I am hearing the last one or two sentences, but I am not really listening.

🤔✅🥱I am sure you know those situations. You are so eager to put out what is on your mind because you might think that you save everyone’s time and you are moving forward more efficiently.

🧐😯<👥In my experience there is a good chance of miscommunication and less appreciation of your talking partner, which will immediately change if you concentrate on listening instead of just putting your statement out.

🔎🎼⏩🗣📈You will be able to identify the tune someone is putting into their words, the expressions they have, and maybe even a specific use of words. All those little hidden messages you uncover while listening will give you the ability to respond much more profound and apricating towards the other person.

🎙🎧🦻If you haven’t thought about this topic of listening, or you are thinking about it from time to time, and you are looking for another idea on it, then this podcast is the right piece of content for you.

ℹ️🥱My headline is probably way too simple, yet it is one of the major points of today’s podcast.

Why is that?

🤔🎶🔁It is because I got thinking about a lot of people being so engaged in their daily rhythms, that they are often end-up being total forces of repetition and habits at work. A decent number of the people I know are so used to their actions they end up acting almost like machines since nothing new is coming up on their schedule.

❓🙅‍♂️That’s bad? – You might ask.

🏢💻⏸☠️Well, I am currently working on a business workshop, and one of the lines, that really stuck with me is the following: “If a business stands still, it dies” In a business context it means, that once a business stops developing itself, by investing in coaching’s, education, new ways of marketing, different products, different strategies, and tactics, or any other way of developing itself, it just loses its grip on the market, the competition will outrun it, or the market share gets lost, as every potential customer has been served.

🤷‍♂️👥Alright, nice to know…..but how does that apply to us a people, as individuals?

🔁📈⏸In a sense, I think we act a lot like a business in that regard, once we get into this repetitive way of doing the same thing over and over again, without any change and adoption our development stops.

🥵🤝👥And especially in these times, I have had a challenge connecting with new people which is a major part of my inspiration for development. This lack of inspiration has gotten me into a loop of being on low energy, for a short amount of time, until I explored some ways to find a substitute. Along with a few thoughts of mine regarding the topic of development, I hope to get you out of this loop or prevent you from getting into this loop of unproductiveness.
