In the first half of the year, 2020 has been a year like no other and with ongoing Covid 19 panic and worldwide riots, it looks to be at least as turbulent in the second half.

The current lockdown in most parts of the world has had a huge impact on artists. Whether, they are musicians, painters or poets, the lockdown abruptly stopped concerts, workshops, art galleries, museums, etc. and many artists experienced a sudden stop of their income. Fortunately, creativity is the core of art and therefore artists currently create new ways to express their art, new platforms to present their art and new channels to earn money with their art. In this interview, I talk with Mara...

We are currently experiencing a historic moment in history. Covid-19 is impacting the whole planet. Many countries and regions are under lockdown and implement new laws in rapid speed. Denmark has already decided on mandatory vaccination and a number of countries have executed or are planning for cellphone tracking and use of the “Corona app”. The fear of many is that this could lead into an Orwellian State with full control over the people. At the same time, we are experiencing the inevitable e...

One of the opportunities in the coronavirus phase is to use the time at home to discover and learn new things. In my view, conscious sexuality is one the most rewarding topics to get into during this time, because it makes you happy, it strengthens your immune system and it raises your awareness. If you discover conscious sexuality, you are astonished that so few people know or talk about something that is pure joy and accessible for everyone. In this episode, I talk to Bibi Brzozka, who teaches...

Golf is a sport like no other. Whereas some even doubt that it is a sport, others use every minute they have to be on the course, play with friends or improve their game. Some think it is boring and for others it is the gate to a higher state of consciousness. If you go deeper into golf, you recognize, that it really has a meditative side to it, it demands high focus and concentration and it pushes you to not only reach high levels of body control, but also to control your breathing and your tho...

Acting is a fascinating industry and many dreamed to be an actor as a kid. So did I. Later in life, most of us give up on that dream for many different reasons. Then life goes on and it was just one of those childhood dreams to be an actor. But the beauty about the world that we are living in, is that we are never too old for anything anymore. If you are fascinated by acting and want to get access to the industry, this is possible. No matter if you are 20, 30, 40 or even older. One great example...

As almost everything else in our world, marketing was radically disrupted by technology in this century. With highly sophisticated machine learning and big data analysis, the change will even be more profound in the future. The phenomenon where artificial intelligence buys and optimizes media based on data analysis is called programmatic marketing. Although most people outside the digital marketing space do not know what programmatic marketing is, it already effects the life of all of us. In thi...

If you will be active in a business that is based on big emotions - for example sports or music - you will meet one special character by default: the creative hustler. The creative hustler is often behind the scenes but is a key player in the game, either pulling the strings, connecting people, making deals happen or consulting the visible players to create and execute their strategy. These could e.g. be player agents or lawyers in sports and label owners, A&Rs or artist managers in music. V...

You are an artist! Just go and make your art! Do it now! Do not wait for someone to give you approval to show your art. Pull the trigger. You are an artist. Do not wait for perfection. Perfection is an excuse for procrastination. If you are not at least a little embarrassed when you show your art to the world, you waited too long. Fight the resistance. Put it out. Jonas Myrin is a Swedish Grammy-winning songwriter, a singer, musician and artist. He is writing with the biggest artists of the plan...

People who follow me know that I started my career in the music business and I am still very much connected with it. It was a fascinating business when I started in the 90s and I think it is today again a very fascinating business as technology has changed the industry so much that I would call it today the music tech industry. Distribution channels, income streams and marketing strategies have changed and evolved dramatically in this century and of course the music and the artists, too. In this...

Everybody is aware of feminism. But many are still unaware of the growing masculinity movement, which already is a Global phenomenon. And this masculinity is not toxic but aware, healthy, loving and strong. The concept of healthy or sacred masculinity was never taught to us, so now it is time. At the core of this movement is the insight that men need other men that they can trust. Based on this brotherhood, men can develop a deep connection to their emotions, live in integrity and true to their ...

I wanted to do a podcast for a long time, but I had many open questions in my mind, that stopped me from starting. Questions like “how shall I call it?”, “which topic shall I use?”, “should I protect my name first?”, “can I do it in English with my accent?” and “how do I even do a podcast?”. These thoughts were running in my mind without any useful answer and hold me back from starting. The breakthrough for me was when I joined the Broadcast Yourself course from London Real. At the end of the co...

Showing your feelings, expressing your feelings and even feeling your feelings is a quality that has not been encouraged in our society for a very long time. We are even trained not to feel “negative” emotions like sadness, rage, or frustration. In reality, feeling these emotions is liberating and necessary to also feels bliss and joy and fully feel alive. Many of us cannot access this liveliness as we have built up defense mechanisms that block us from our own vulnerability and thus from feelin...

There are many paths to independence. Financial independence is only a component of independence. But a necessary component. Two paths to financial independence are building up your own business and day trading. Darko Malic did both.

And he is so successful in day trading that he is planning to fade out his very successful company. In order to reach overall independence, i...

There are many ways of success. In a time where we hear a lot about habits, hacks, action and scheduling – and I am a big believer in this, too – it is refreshing to hear the story of Kez Klein. When I asked her about her success habits, she was asking me if I mean this question seriously. She is also not planning her week, she is not bio-hacking her body and she is not talking about accountability and self-responsibility. Yet, she is vibrating, impressively kind, very youthful, has a radiating ...

Programming, accounting and finance are skill areas that are not easily accessible for many. Whereas many regard accounting and finance to be dull and boring, coding is seen as a magic skill of geeks who started learning it shortly after they started walking and there is no way a “normal person” can learn it. Gavin Allen proofs and explains in a humorous but compelling way that the opposite is true for both skill areas. Excitingly, online education plus the appearance of low programming solution...

We all want to be happy. Some think whether you are happy or not is based on luck, others think that wealth is the driver for happiness and there are also people who are certain that happiness does not exist.

More often than not, the biggest challenge in launching new ventures is the human risk element.

Only in recent years have certain parts of our capitalistic system changed in a way that is closer to the strategies of nature. Mainly through the internet and social media, we can see a huge shift from competition to cooperation and from a scarcity mindset to a mindset of abundance. Experts have observed these strategies in nature for a long time. The internet and social media is by many seen as a reproduction of the wood wide web, a complex underground web of roots, fungi and bacteria helping ...
