Life has a way of testing us, often when we least expect it. Reboot is a new radio series that explores how people find the strength to start again—how they rebuild, recover, and rediscover their sense of purpose when life throws them off course. Each week, I’ll be joined by guests who share their personal journeys through challenge and change, and what resilience really looks like in everyday life.

In the very first episode, I sit down with Peter Kaltenbach from Hotel Langenwaldsee in Freudenstadt—a man whose story is as rich and layered as his life’s work. From his years in the hotel world to his time supporting charitable projects, from mastering the art of the Japanese tea ceremony to guiding thousands through the Gartenschau Freudenstadt, Peter brings insight, humour, and a calm depth that only comes from lived experience. He’s also a fellow singer in the PopChor Baiersbronn, where our friendship began.
