Room 201 Podcast episodes

  • 8. Sebastian Kierner - “A piece of music is like snapping a photo; it’s the image of your skills, inspiration, and creativity on that particular day.”

    Hey hoomans! It’s been a hot minute since you heard from my tiny room. But I am delighted to be back for 10 new episodes. Join me as I invite my creative friends to engage in thought-provoking conversations from the comfort of Room 201.


    Our first guest is a Viennese songwriter and producer - Sebastian Kierner. He co-founded Zonkey Studio with a few of his friends on the outskirts of the city. After studying guitar and performing with various Austrian bands, he gravitated more and more toward songwriting which culminated in studying songwriting and production. He has been working with artists from all over the world ever since writing songs and producing music.


    Get a cuppa and get in as we talk about what’s it like to grow up in Vienna and the happy accidents that may have brought him to embark on his music career.


    The 3 albums Sebastian recommended:

    1. Modern Johnny Sings: Songs in the Age of Vibe - Theo Katzman
    2. Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
    3. A Night At The Opera - Queen

So yay! In this week’s episode of Room 201, I share my LUSH experience, the 4 archetypes of customers, and what does it take to curate a great customer experience for shoppers. Enjoy!

      Happy Thursday folks! In this week’s episode of Room 201, I get curious about the museum industry - do they exhibit replicas instead of the real original work? I also talk about making friends as an adult, five levels of communication in our daily lives, and how to navigate small talks.
