In this episode we’re diving deep into one of the most transformative forces of our time - Artificial Intelligence. And we are doing this together with Zamina Ahmad, one of the most influential and sought-after person in the German AI universe. 

From her early days as a data analyst to becoming a leading voice in responsible AI, Zamina’s journey has spanned continents, industries, and a powerful evolution from insight to impact. As founder of Shades and Contrast, she’s championing the urgent need for fairness, transparency, and ethics in the world of AI - while showing us that tech isn’t just about efficiency, but about creating meaningful impact on businesses and society.  

In her conversation with Enuri Samaraweera, student of Information Engineering at the TUM Campus Heilbronn, Zamina breaks down what AI truly is and what it isn’t. She points out why fairness in algorithms matters, and how Europe, especially Germany, can turn its regulatory approach into a competitive advantage. 

Welcome to the third episode of "Learning from Legends," the inspirational podcast with and about people who have made it to the top in their profession. This podcast is brought to you by The TUM Campus Heilbronn gGmbH. 

Our guest today is one of only 140 chefs globally to have earned three Michelin Stars and one of only 33 who have been awarded an additional green star for their way of creating exceptionally tasteful experiences – Norbert Niederkofler from Bruneck in South Tyrol. 

Norbert is not only one of the world’s leading chefs. He is also a philosopher, an artisan, an artist and a bit of a sustainable rebel in the kitchen. His 16 years of travelling the world gained him international experience and shaped his technical skills. Coming back to his home in South Tyrol, he started to look differently at the way he and his entire profession were doing things. Cook the Mountain was born from his desire to move away from globalized ingredients and instead use what the beautiful nature around him had in stock. In his restaurants he and his team which he calls family showcase the beauty of Alpine products such as native vegetables, herbs, and meat, all sustainably sourced from local producers.

In his conversation with Robinson Nyotta from Kenya, student at the TUM Campus Heilbronn, Norbert unveils some of his secret recipes for turning a passion into a successful and sustainable business. 

Welcome to the second episode of "Learning from Legends," the new podcast brought to you by The TUM Campus Heilbronn gGmbH. 

We hope that you have already had the opportunity to listen to the first edition with the astronaut-to-be Suzanna Randall, who took us on a journey to the stars. In this new episode, we will stay more down to earth, but only physically. Because today’s scene is the soccer pitch. And our guest is one of the world’s best soccer referees of all time – Dr. Felix Brych. 

With 344 matches in the German Bundesliga, 69 matches in the Champions League and numerous other games in the Euro League and FIFA World Championships, UEFA European Championships and many others, Felix knows unlike anyone else what it means to take decisions within a fraction of a second and what this has to do with leadership. A lot of parallels between the two will be unveiled during the conversation between Felix and our two student hosts, Mikhail Aizinov from Russia and Tnmay Gupta from India. 

And now please join Mikahil and Tnmay for an inspiring session, where Felix Brych will share his secret of success in taking decisions in high-pressure environments and how he deals with setbacks and obstacles along the way.
