Exploring life, productivity, random thoughts, and business ideas. I love to get out there and create. Make something new and try new things – hence why I am finally trying podcasting. What will this be? First, it&#39;s a challenge to step out of my comfort zone, and hopefully, that can already inspire.

The crisis is bringing with it some self-quarantine and potentially, it’s a time to better ourselves in all kinds of ways. If only we stay motivated…

No. 31 / Corona and Trying to Stay Motivated

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/6/22/5/f398ca14-9bc0-4c33-96bf-43bd029d1087_2020-7-23_2F100777657-44100-2-b5ca466da3176c05.mp3

In the past I have thought about sharing about certain things many times, then I thought: “I don’t know how this will end, let’s wait and I’ll make the video later”. The “later” point never came and I regret not having shared in the moment.
Now I am changing that! And with that, I am exploring a lot of thoughts that are on my mind right now in regards to being a creator and having the desire to make YouTube and the likes to my full-time income.
In this episode I explore:
<ul>
 <li>Why am I shy?</li>
 <li>Why do I care what others think?</li>
 <li>That we need thick skin (and not just if you are a creator).</li>
 <li>Why having others to approve of me is not helpful.</li>
 <li>Being enough the way I am (even when alone).</li>
 <li>And realizing that I have a following that I should be real with.</li>
</ul>
I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment section, vis Instagram, or on Telegram. Thank you for listening and being here ❤.

Sorry for the clipping sound for the first 10 minutes, that happens when you forget to hit record on your external audio recorder and the in-camera sound is clipping 🤦‍♂️ .
But anyway, today I am sharing about my journey to experiment on myself to regain control over the distractions, notifications, and pulls in my life. From grayscale mode, to disabled notifications, to the reasons why it’s even so hard. Let’s talk about this!

No. 25 / Focus and Attention — How to Regain Control Over Notifications and More

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/6/22/5/b19de94d-5cc5-4d67-9d70-234fe2ff0f82_2020-7-23_2F100777650-44100-2-0b0a03e3d2adc712.mp3

Being able to do more, break free of our own perceptions, the judgments we fear and think are out there. Rediscovering the new me. It’s a learning process.
From techniques (journaling, meditation, and healing sessions) over to discovering that not everybody thinks just like me and that there is more acceptance than one would think in this world.
Becoming more of who I am now instead of being stuck with who I once was.

Let’s start 2020 with a vision that feels a little out there. How can we get there? Do you need to Reframe, Restructure, or change how you do things? It’s time right now, but it can also be whenever!

No. 20 / Lofty Goals in 2020 — When It Feels Like You Can't Get There.

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/6/22/5/ba9d05bd-5266-42c7-8690-b90d4bd245de_2020-7-23_2F100777659-44100-2-06d04b03d64ff3ef.mp3

Let’s talk about how to review the past year and design your 2020 so that you can achieve what you set out to do. Over the past decade I set many goals, I failed at most of them, now it’s time to do this differently and with more knowledge about my path and self.
In this episode, I talk about my past experience with goal setting over many years, mostly failing, and then stopping completely. From there I went on a path of self-exploration and a sort of spiritual awakening with the help of my healer (Candice Wu) and since then I have my excitement back to set new goals. So I am now sharing my full process with you, the process I will go through between Christmas and New Years, to review 2019 and design my 2020!
Let’s do this together and achieve what we envision!

A conversation about Software Engineering, the German-German border, Event Storming, and Langauge in Project Management and Programming. Robert Reppel, CTO of TwoTonic Labs.
The wide range of topics and stories about the life in a small town vs Vancouver, Canada as well as the development of the field of Software Engineering or Programming is really fascinating and I encourage you to listen in.

No. 16 / Robert Reppel on Software Engineering and the Importance of Natural Language

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/6/22/5/5ce4bbc9-19ca-4910-af28-42d6cac31ebb_2020-7-23_2F100777660-44100-2-19548c75b74dcf2e.mp3

This episode is the first interview and it is German. Sorry for all those who don’t understand it, I will be back with English episodes soon.

Heute im Gespräch mit Niko Emran erfahren wir alles mögliche über Startups und Gründungen. Niko ist Netzwerkmanager bei dem <a href="https://www.einstein1.net" rel="nofollow">Gründerzentrum Einstein1 in Hof</a> welches bald auch schon den Co-Working Space und mehr eröffnet.

Wir reden über die Gründung von Nikos eigenem Startup <a href="https://www.megaschecks.de" rel="nofollow">MEGAschecks.de</a>, über die Herausforderungen welche Deutschland bei Gründungen hat und wie es speziell auf dem Lande (Hof hat nur 50.000 Einwohner) voran geht, und es geht dann auch noch um Digitalisierung im allgemeinen und wie man da auch langsam anfangen kann.

This episode is the first interview and it is German. Sorry for all those who don&#8217;t understand it, I will be back with English episodes soon.

Heute im Gespräch mit Niko Emran erfahren wir alles mögliche über Startups und Gründungen. Niko ist Netzwerkmanager bei dem <a href="https://www.einstein1.net">Gründerzentrum Einstein1 in Hof</a> welches bald auch schon den Co-Working Space und mehr eröffnet.

Wir reden über die Gründung von Nikos eigenem Startup <a href="https://www.megaschecks.de">MEGAschecks.de</a>, über die Herausforderungen welche Deutschland bei Gründungen hat und wie es speziell auf dem Lande (Hof hat nur 50.000 Einwohner) voran geht, und es geht dann auch noch um Digitalisierung im allgemeinen und wie man da auch langsam anfangen kann.

No. 13 / Documenting the Process, Consumption Minimalism, and Journeying to More Self Knowing

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/6/22/5/43b4babd-0dc9-4e9f-9b03-f81cc95131bb_2020-7-23_2F100777643-44100-2-c7f823ea9a4afc85.mp3

Talking seriously. Sometimes not all is amazing and upbeat, but that inner world view can be leveraged to grow out of it. I share deeply about what is going on in my life, how it can be self-deprecating, borderline depressing, but I am still trying to pull myself up!
There will be more to come on this journey and since recording this episode my life situation has changed a lot. I thought about not publishing this episode but then I would only give gas to the fire of deception that everything is always perfect for everybody else but yourself.
I am not perfect, I am far from it, and I struggle. This is one of those moments that that was the case and I’d like to share it with you. It’s important to see that side too!
🎧 Chapters / Show Notes:
00:00 Opening — I Want to Be on My Happy Train
02:11 Not being able to execute is crippling!
04:50 Feeling Exhausted and wishing for discipline!
06:44 What would it be like to be employed?
11:37 The Value of Planning and having Rules
12:49 Helping the body shift with good habits and supplements.
13:39 What do I expect from the distractions?
14:47 A set of long term goals supposed to trump them all.
16:42 Knowing is not enough. The power is in doing something different.
18:41 It’s about Self Discipline
19:48 Orienting myself towards my Vision
23:08 It not going to be easy!

No. 12 / Comfort, Work, Procrastination, Growth, Responsibility, and Virtue

Exploring life, productivity, random thoughts, and business ideas. I love to get out there and create. Make something new and try new things – hence why I am finally trying podcasting. What will this be? First, it's a challenge to step out of my comfort zone, and hopefully, that can already inspire.
