    Psychedelic Breath Founder: Does Growth Require Suffering? (Eva Kaczor)

    We sit down in Berlin with Eva Kaczor, solo founder of Psychedelic Breath, and talk about burnout, purpose, and the idea that transformation often begins in moments of pain rather than clarity.After years of pushing herself through ambition, overwork, and physical limits, Eva reached a point where nothing worked anymore. What followed was not a gradual adjustment, but a complete stop. She shares how burnout didn’t come out of nowhere, but from ignoring signals that had long become normal, and how that experience forced her to ask deeper questions about life, work, and meaning. We talk about the belief that purpose is something you need to find, and why Eva sees it differently. Instead of searching outward, she describes purpose as something that is already within us, something we remember rather than discover. The conversation explores suffering, intuition, and the tension between effort and alignment.This is a conversation about burnout, healing, and the uncomfortable idea that growth doesn’t always come from doing more, but from learning when to stop, listen, and change direction.

    Self-Made Filmmaker: How Much Should You Let the Algorithm Shape Your Work? (The Human Chris)

    We sit down with Chris in our Berlin studio to talk about creativity, storytelling, and the hidden tension between making meaningful work and chasing numbers on social media. Starting from his experience working as a video editor for others and on YouTube content, Chris shares the frustration of knowing you’ve created something great, while realizing that success often depends more on the platform mechanics incl. titles and thumbnails - than the content itself. This conversation dives into the reality of building something creative in a system driven by attention, and the constant balance between experimentation, authenticity, and sustainability. Chris shares his experience about creative burnout and also talks about the importance of nurturing close relationships. We also talk about documenting your life, creating introspective content, and why reaching a few people deeply can matter more than reaching thousands superficially.

    Balinese Songwriter & Ceremonialist: Can You Find Yourself by Letting Go? (Purnama)

    We spend time in Bali with Purnama, a Balinesian-Swiss musician and Balinese culture guide whose life took a radical turn when the path she was expected to follow stopped feeling right. Growing up between Switzerland and Bali, Purnama initially pursued a conventional definition of success before realizing that achievement without meaning was leaving her disconnected from herself. What followed was a long break, reconnection to spirituality, healing, and ultimately returning to her roots, reconnecting with indigenous wisdom, nature, and a slower way of living. We talk about Bali's emerging and substantial challenges, about leaving behind external expectations, the courage it takes to disappoint others in order to stay true to yourself, and why sometimes doing nothing is the beginning of real change. This conversation explores, cultural identity, connection to your own calling, and the idea that fulfillment often comes from realigning with your truth rather than achieving.

    Self-Taught Filmmaker & Creator: Do You Need Experience to Succeed? (Karam | Karam in the World)

    We meet with Karam in our studio in Berlin and talk about leaving behind certainty and starting something new out of passion and curiosity, even without prior experience or a clear plan. Originally on track for a conventional career, Karam’s life changed when he decided to follow curiosity instead of expectations. From dropping out of university to traveling the world to creating videos, he shares the reality behind sudden transitions, imposter syndrome, and learning by doing through the pursuit for adventure and human connections. We talk about creative platonic life partnerships and relationships, freedom, identity, family expectations, and the importance of starting before you feel qualified. The conversation explores how change often happens not through perfect decisions, but through action and openness to opportunity.

    Startup Investor: Is Passion a Better Strategy Than Profit? (Jens Lapinski | Angel Invest)

    We sit down in Berlin and speak with investor and Angel Invest VC founder Jens Lapinski about the long arc of career transitions and how meaning often emerges organically through following your true interests. From natural scientist to founder to venture investor, Jens shares how each transition in his life came less from strategy and more from curiosity and self-awareness. We talk about knowing when to keep going, founders conflicts, how to pick your investors (and people around you), why startups fail and system thinking. This conversation goes deep into the reality behind entrepreneurship, the mistakes that shape experience, and why the most worthwhile paths rarely feel easy in the beginning. It’s a grounded discussion about ambition, learning, and allowing your interests to guide you toward the next chapter.

    Somatic Coach & Digital Creator: Does Coaching and Travel Equal Freedom? (Hannah | Growth of Mind)

    We travel to Bali and talk with Hannah of Growth of Mind about finding your calling, love, reconnecting with your body, family, and the people who shape us long before we understand their influence. Starting from a poem written about her grandmother, the conversation unfolds into themes of lineage, cultural identity, and the lessons we inherit through love, hardship, and support. Hannah reflects on choosing a non-traditional path, navigating expectations, and learning to build a life aligned with personal truth rather than societal norms. We explore creativity, emotional openness, and the role of family in both grounding and challenging who we become. This is a conversation about gratitude, vulnerability, and the ways in which the love for life shapes our direction.

    We sit down in London with Will, the creator behind Creative Minds, to talk about creativity, mental health, and the long, often invisible process behind creative work. Starting as a writer and gradually building a platform around the artist's journey, Will shares how creativity became a way to understand himself and connect with others. We talk about sensitivity, self-doubt, consistency, and why focusing on the long term and doing something you truly love is an important part of sustainable growth. This conversation explores being present, authenticity, and the idea that creative work entails staying focused long enough for your voice to emerge.

    Creative Agency Founder: Does Being Yourself Really Pay Off? (Whitney Love | Love The Agency)

    We meet with Whitney Love in London and talk about optimism, building confidence even in uneasy environments, and the moment when a successful career stops feeling like the final destination. After years working in music and culture at Resident Advisor, Whitney made the decision to leave stability behind and go freelance, not because something was wrong, but because she felt ready for the next evolution of her life. We explore her optimism rooted in Nigerian culture, self-belief, and the importance of advocating for yourself. And we talk about the importance of relationships and support communities, including the one with her husband Rory. The conversation touches on purpose, cultural upbringing, risk-taking, and how choosing the life you actually want often means saying no to very good alternatives. It’s an honest look at building a career that reflects who you are, rather than who you think you should be.
