  • 008 Yelena Yegoryan, Violinist

    In this episode Yelena talks about her upbringing in Armenia and her career as a violinist that started at a very early age and took her all around the globe to play music halls. Her family later uprooted and started a new life in the USA, which took her to study at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music and join the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Since she moved to France, Yelena successfully runs a blog where she offers tours to take you to insider spots all around Paris and most recently focusses on the impact of classical music on our wellbeing. (Hint: you’ll find one of her violin solo’s in this episode)

    Listen to the episode to find out more about what it takes at an audition, what it looks like to live record for Hollywood movie studios and how her love story with Paris made her move across the Atlantic.

  • 007 Mareike Peters, Gründerin von Naturkosmetik München

    In dieser Episode hör ich direkt hinter die Kulissen von Mareike’s erfolgreichem Label NKM. Eigentlich hatte sie für sich selbst eine Karriere in der Beautyabteilung der Vogue vorausgesehen gehabt, doch da hat ihr ihr treues “NKM Dorf” einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht. In ihrer Jugend hatte sie immer wieder mit Hautproblemen zu kämpfen und nachdem nichts Herkömmliches Wirkung zeigte, begann sie, sich für natürliche Behandlungsmethoden zu interessieren. Genauer gesagt für's "Selbstrühren" und dem Prinzip der Phytotherapie. Hört rein in unsere Unterhaltung über ein bisschen Hautprobleme, ein bisschen Business und natürlich über Mareike, dem nordischen Kraftbündel, das das “Selbstrühren” in einen angemessenen Zeitgeist übersetzt.

  • 006 Dani Des Roches, Founder of Kismet Concept Studio and Picnic Wear
    In this episode we try very hard to not talk about the ongoing pandemic and our coping mechanisms but focus on what we love to talk about the most, which is ….. knitting, of course. I could listen to her all day talking about what she loves about the 60s and 70s and fashion history. She not only talks designers like Rudi Gernreich, Betsy Johnson and Elsa Schiaparelli but also highlights the liberation that knit fabrics meant for the woman’s body. Also, if you still don’t know the difference about crochet and knit - please listen to this episode and educate yourself!
    You should equally tune in if you want to hear Dani’s tips on how to find out what vintage era you are, how to shop vintage items, the dynamics she struggled with working for big brands and why you should watch all ten seasons of Mad Men.

  • 005 Tanisha Townsend, Wine Expert
    Tanisha Townsend is a wine expert from Chicago and living and teaching in Paris. She hosts wine tours and speaks regularly to her audience on the Wine School Dropout podcast. She started her journey at a vineyard, where the experience of a cherry-like taste of the wine lead her to booking a course to learn more about the world of grapes.
    In the episode Tanisha taught me how to brush up on my wine jargon, walked me through the aroma wheel, the parcour of her career and why you should keep an open mind if a certain Merlot wasn’t to your liking.

    Marz also let’s us in on the not so rosy times in her life, building her fanbase, the goals she has for women in music, the way you should be mindful with social media rabbit holes and what she says to herself in the mirror every morning.

  • 002 Jeffrey Greenberg, Associate Director at the Jewish National Fund
    Jeffrey shares his perspective on the psychology of business meetings, the social aspect of closing a deal and how persistence can result in flattery.
    With a background in Advertising, Jeffrey never planned on doing sales for a baseball team nor fundraising for a non-profit organisation, but as life took its course, for him it combines the social aspect with the business world resulting in pleasant experiences for all parties involved.
