Speaking Up with Patrick Schilling

Join me in my most personal podcast so far. This week, I am talking to Omar Itani, who has lived a life filled with happiness and injury. We speak about coping with disability, finding the willpower to overcome every single hurdle, meditation, and being happy in the digital age. As the conversation moves along, we open up and tell from our own personal stories and experiences. For it was our hope that we could share some of what we have gone through for the betterment of our listeners.

Join me in my conversation with Ernst&Young Finance Woman of the Year 2018 Lena Förster. In her role, Lena inspires women globally to become the leaders they strive to be and to disrupt the hierarchies in just about any given industry. We talk about her vision of how she wants to empower female leaders, about shattering the glass ceiling,the #MeToo movement and how societal perception of the sexes have changed over the last 30 years, and then shift the conversation towards her vision for the future of Finance. Lena is a passionate advocate for the need of human beings even in times of AI and automation. Her insightful views on the topic definitely gave me hope for all the changes awaiting us. Be inspired by one of the most inspiring young women of our generation.

Join me in my conversation with Jonathan Guggenberger. Jonathan studied fine arts at Berlin's College of fine arts for a couple of years, before he moved on to pursue his passion in film. He now studies film and political science. Jonathan published his first movie earlier this year and is working on his second movie right now.

We discuss the relation between politics and film and if film should be political, Netflix and the impacts it may have on the film and its reception, particularly in different cultures.

We talk about the medium of film, and how it differs from other elements of arts, in particular the fine arts. He describes his process of creating a film, how an idea he has would sort of merge with the technicalities of film-making and talks about his own work, where he made a film about a conspiracy theorist, conspiracy theory.

Join me in my conversation with Theo Wanner. Theo wrote two Master theses about personality traits and about body language. Listen as he gives his insights on how your personality shapes your behavior, how to become more self-confident, how to read other people's body language, how to control one's own body language, and hear us talk about the ethical implications of the topics.

How does data affect the way we will live in the future? Will it become a new currency? Will we lose control over our data? How will Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence shape the way we live? Where is the internet economy heading? Join me in my conversation with Zach Dow, a student in Quantitative Management at Duke University's duke fuqua school of business.
