Julian Madrzak co-founded remberg, the Asset-Relationship-Management System enabling the service of machines in a digital way by empowering an efficient collaboration between manufacturers, service partners and operators. Working for Celonis in New York, and being a fellow member of START Munich, he shared his passion for creating something from scratch, and his experience of blitzscaling remberg to become one of the fastest growing startups in Germany. We also got his thoughts about mentorship, and creating a so-called "challenger network" by being consciously aware of the people and energy he surrounds himself with.

After returning from MIT, Paul, our guest for this episode, felt like a failure when he could not get into a similarly prestigious master's program.

In this episode, you will hear why you may lose when you follow your passion, how you can overcome vague fears, and you'll learn about a simple thought that makes Paul hopeful every day.
