    No.12😎钢铁心态 How to Build Life-Changing Business?

    下载节目文字版: Transcripts This episode isn’t about business tips or surface-level masculinity talk. It’s about pressure — the kind that turns men to stone or dust. “IRON MINDSET” it’s a contradiction. Strength wrapped in vulnerability. Discipline shaped by chaos. Success born out of doubt. We talk about more than just money, TikTok addiction, or spotting a business opportunity. We unravel the identity crisis of the modern man — numb from screens, lost in trends, and paralyzed by comfort. Mazen speaks like someone who doesn’t need to scream to be heard. He believes that most men are soft — they’re confused about what strength actually looks like. I appreciated this conversation deeply. It reminded me why I started this podcast in the first place — not for noise, not for viral moments, but for real exchanges that leave something behind. If you’ve ever built something alone.If you’ve ever felt like time was slipping through your hands faster than money.If you’ve ever doubted yourself quietly while others were shouting online — this one's for you.

    No.11🍷葡萄酒的秘密 | Peter about Wine Industry, Fame & Passion

    If you think wine is just a drink, think again. In this epic episode, Peter — a wine expert, entrepreneur, and the owner of Peter Lisicky Wine — pours out truths about wine, business, fame, and what really matters in life.We talked about passion, hard work, business struggles, social status, and chasing dreams. 下载节目文字版: Transcripts There’s a kind of honesty in Peter’s story that you don’t hear often — the kind that comes from failing, trying again, and loving the process even when it’s painful.From wild wine tastings to unforgettable moments like Peter stopping a train to meet his wife (yes, a real train), this conversation kept surprising me. At times, I felt like we weren’t talking about wine at all — we were talking about life itself: how to recognize quality, how to respect the work behind great things, and how amateurs and professionals see the world so differently. There’s a real philosophy hidden inside this episode: it's not about whether something is easy or instantly impressive — it's about whether you can recognize the craftsmanship and heart that went into it.Wine, comedy, business, even relationships — it’s all connected. I came away from this talk inspired, a little buzzed on ideas (and maybe wine too 🍷), and reminded that no matter what you're chasing — whether it’s mastering a skill, building a business, or finding love — what you put in is what you get out. If you're someone who cares about doing things properly, about working for something meaningful, or if you just like hearing two people talk honestly about the beauty and chaos of it all — you’ll find a lot to love here.🕰️ Timecodes00:00 – Intro02:10 – How to define a good wine?09:55 – Where to look when evaluating wine14:00 – House That Jack Built: Wild wine flavors18:55 – Opening up wine like a ritual19:28 – "You’ll have the best podcast in China"23:16 – How to open wine: tips & fails24:20 – Meeting one of Tokyo's richest ladies27:33 – First sip: tasting notes30:52 – Testing continued35:32 – Non-alcoholic wine: genius or joke?39:00 – Why wine is the best drink41:00 – Hard work pays off44:53 – "I want to be famous"49:30 – Lies wine companies tell us55:30 – Advice for young entrepreneurs1:05:00 – Everything you sell should mean something1:06:00 – Peter Lisicky: Sabrage Master story1:15:00 – Opening sparkling wine like a boss1:26:00 – People are the same everywhere1:29:00 – Does hard work beat talent?1:33:00 – Advice on marriage1:40:30 – Stopping a train to meet his wife1:52:00 – Wine and pussies 1:58:00 – Comedy culture in China2:09:03 – Say it fast! 🎯 Watch this if you want to:-Learn how to truly appreciate wine (beyond just taste)-Understand what “professional passion” looks like-Hear crazy behind-the-scenes stories from the wine world-Get inspired to pursue what you love — with or without alcohol ﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋👉 Like, comment, and subscribe for more insightful conversations on culture, entrepreneurship, and life as a foreigner in China. ﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋Follow our socials ---> YouTube 小红书 InstagramBooking, partnerships and contact -  i.tumasyants@protonmail.com 前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动
