Crossing the Atlantic with a normal boat sounds crazy enough to many, but doing it with 3 other friends, in a tiny 7-meter rowing boat is a whole other level of crazy. And Baudouin de La Rochefoucauld did just that, an adventurer in the purest sense of the word

In this episode, I sat down with him and we talked about his once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

We talked about the constant exhaustion of living in two-hour shifts, day after day, the mental preparation that already started long before the journey, and the strange beauty of being completely alone with your thoughts in the middle of the ocean. He shares moments of pure awe — incredible wildlife, true silence, and even a whale encounter that genuinely felt like something straight out of Life of Pi.

What I loved most about this conversation was the way Baudouin tells his story. At times, it felt like listening to an old boat captain sharing his ocean tales, hilarious. I think you will have at least a few laughs as well.

This one is about adventure, mindset, lurking for the unknown and pushing some boundaries along the way.

Alain is considered to be the founding father of Free Solo. Whether rocks or buildings, he has climbed it all. All without a rope. He has been featured in various award-winning documentaries, written books, been on Letterman, is considered to be one of the 100 greatest athletes of our time and even has a statue erected for him in China.

Some people can't comprehend how one is willing to risk facing death like that, yet I believe we need people like him to show us that our perceptions are ultimately our only limitations.

In this episode we talked about:

- How Alain started his journey of free climbing.

- Why he does what he does.

- His police encounters and days in prison

- The mentality behind free soloing.

- His connection to Alex Honnold.

- How he almost died in a fall and has since been 66% disabled and continues to be able to climb without proper functioning wrists.

- Why he switched from rock climbing to skyscrapers.

- How he climbed the Eifel Tower, Burj Khalifa, Sears Tower, and more.

- How he deals with social media haters and more.

True honor to have had the chance to sit down with him.

One of my favorite episodes so far. Driven by her own experience Stefanie went after the question of how her body handles stress and why her immune system suffered so much from it. With her holistic approach and own experience, she became an expert on women's health, nutrition and sleep optimization.

Throughout the conversation, it became clear, how little men in general seem to know about the health of women and what they should probably learn about.

This episode has the aim of teaching you about:

- Why the global health system is created for men and tested on men.

- What Naturopathy is.

- How the hormonal cycles of men and women differ.

- The different roles of Stress for Women and Men

- How the nervous system is everything. (HRV, PNS & More.)

- The menstrual cycle.

- Simple & effective Nutrition Hacks.

- The shocking impacts of the pill.

- The scary trend of infertility, its reasons and much more.

Much to take away from this one!
