    Nr. 25 FinanzFabio: Ziel erreicht. Und jetzt?

    Fabio Marchesin – FinanzFabio – hat geschafft, was in der Schweiz als unmöglich galt: über Geld reden, und Millionen hören zu. Er erreicht über 4 Millionen Menschen monatlich – durch seinen Podcast, Instagram, YouTube und Newsletter. Seine Mission: die Schweiz mit ehrlicher Finanzbildung vor Altersarmut bewahren. Doch die spannendere Frage kommt selten: Was kommt, wenn du dein grosses Ziel erreicht hast?

    Luise und Fabio reden über das Leben oben – was sich verändert, was bleibt, und was einen morgens noch antreibt, wenn die „Beweis-mir-selbst"-Ziele abgehakt sind.

    In dieser Folge:

    • Der eine Geldfehler, den fast alle in der Schweiz machen – ohne es zu merken
    • Wie Fabio heute alles von null neu aufbauen würde – drei Schritte, in dieser Reihenfolge
    • Was ihn wirklich antreibt, jetzt wo die grossen Ziele erreicht sind
    • Sein Traum von der ausverkauften Swiss Life Arena – und wonach er sich dabei sehnt
    • Die eine Frage, die ihm noch nie gestellt wurde – inklusive Antwort
    • 🎧 Reinhören – und teilen mit jemandem, der gerade selbst an einem „Und jetzt?"-Punkt steht.

      Deine Sichtbarkeit ist deine Währung.

      In meiner Masterclass „Personal Authority & AI" zeige ich dir, wie du dir mit persönlichem Profil und den richtigen KI-Tools eine Autorität aufbaust, die Türen öffnet – so wie Fabio es getan hat.

    • Nr. 24 Apple Co-Founder Steve "The Woz" Wozniak: AI, Innovation & Founder Advice

      Steve Wozniak built the machine that started the personal computer revolution. Fifty years later, he has thoughts on AI, on why most people build the wrong thing, and on what he would tell a 20 year old who says "I want to found the next Apple."

      Luise Ammerschuber sits down with the Apple co-founder for a conversation about innovation, honesty, and the difference between sounding smart and building something real. His advice: "Don't say things that make you sound good. Make things that you absolutely know in your head."

    • Nr. 23 Dream Bigger. Build Bolder - Lea-Sophie Cramer - S4E1

      In a world obsessed with AI, Lea-Sophie Cramer is betting on something AI can't do for you: move your body. The Amorelie co-founder, Fast and Curious co-host, KKR industry advisor and investor in 40+ companies is back with a new venture — EPIX Sports — and her thesis is contrarian: the more AI takes over our productivity, the more we'll need real, physical, human spaces to spend our time. Padel courts. Bouldering gyms. Reformer Pilates studios. Habit-forming sports that bring people together. In this episode, Lea-Sophie and Luise sit down in Zurich and go deep on:

      → Why Epix is investing in sports infrastructure while everyone else chases AI

      → What she actually looks for in founders before she writes a check → The honest reality of raising capital again after Amorelie — and what fundraising taught her about humility

      → Why she has so much hope for the next generation of female founders (and the one piece of advice she'd give them) → The best and worst investments she's made in herself — including 250 juices that went bad in her fridge

      → A final question she has not been asked before. And some very personal insights. This conversation is for anyone building something ambitious in Europe right now — and anyone who still believes impact, ambition, and good business can live in the same place.

      About Lea-Sophie Cramer: Co-founder of Amorelie, co-host of Fast and Curious, industry advisor at KKR, and one of the most influential voices in the German startup ecosystem. With Epix Sports, she's building the commercial backbone for European sports founders to scale globally.
