#35 How to walk into the USA crossing deserts (and why) – with emigrant Will
It happened on a balmy evening in Guatemala City. I was looking for a supermarket and met Will by coincidence in the streets, who kindly accompanied me all the way home to my friends place. Will is a young Guatemalan, full of hope and longing for a better life. He is betting on the U.S., but at the same time he is realist enough to understand the limits of his imagination. I was amazed by his mental strength: to make his way across the border of his own country on foot, without money, tickets or contacts in the USA, battered by heat, hunger and thirst, in search of a better life impressed me deeply. The conversation with Will also showed me how strongly faith can move mountains. Will stands for me for what we can achieve in life if we only believe in it. We can’t achieve everything, because the final spark to success for me is called luck, chance or fate, but without any of these it becomes difficult. Central and South America is permeated with a density of faith that shows how great the influence of the (European) church still is today. While we in Europe have empty

#33 Opera & spirituality: Connecting to the animal within us – live at a river bank with professional Opera singer Anthony Pinkerton
It happened early one evening, just before sunset. Down at the riverbank adjacent to the tropical Jungle, I spotted a bearded gentleman doing situps with a heavy log on his shoulders. A picture for G ods. We got into a conversation that interweaves the topics of opera, sexuality, and spirituality. Anthony Pinkerton born 1999 in Orlando, Florida (USA), has been spending four years studying voice performance at a world class conservatory of music, Westminster Choir College. During his time in conservatory, his voice teacher was also a yoga teacher, encouraging him to bridge the gap between singing and spirituality. Since graduating in ‘21, he quit his jobs, put his New Jersey apartment up for rent, and booked a one way flight ticket to Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. It is here where he took a deep dive into the practice of yoga. Since then, he teaches yoga seven days a week and offers holistic healing practices.

#32 Talking about humanity, power and politics – with Guatemalan politician and business man Diego Arzu Garcia-Granados
Without a doubt one of the most exciting interviewees I could ever imagine: Diego Arzu Garcia-Granados. Mentally flexible, intelligent and intellectual, charming and open. Diego is not only the son of former Guatemalan president and mayor of Guatemala City Álvaro Arzú Irigoyen, but also served himself as deputy to the Central American Parliament from 2016 to 2020. He was raised in a family where political talk was and continues to be the order of the day. Diego knows the international arena of politics and economic interdependence as well as few. The common exchange led us from the historical heritage of the Maya to the beauty of mental diversity to father-son love & so much more.
#31 Sex before marriage: Talking privately from (a Muslim) woman to (a non-Muslim) woman perspective – live from a market in Lombok, Indonesia
It was on a hot afternoon when I made a stop with my scooter in a small town in the north of Lombok. The ride was exhausting and I was tired. Since I was traveling alone, I decided to stroll through the local market in hopes of grabbing a chilled coconut. As I did so, I noticed a woman not taking her eyes off me, even following me slightly. I walked up to her and a conversation ensued. Today I found it again in my archives and would like to share it with you. Why? Because it shows me how differently we are programmed, myself included. The short but intense conversation shows me how we are shaped by our culture, our environment and the people we love. The young woman has never left Lombok. Lombok, a heavily Muslim Indonesian island, where in the north women are kidnapped from their families of origin by their future husbands when they reach puberty. They end up in a forced marriage, not knowing what awaits them there, including their first wedding night. I was struck by the openness of the conversation. It shows how curious and searching the human spirit is. The idea of

#28: Special Libanon – Late night talk with internationally acclaimed photographer and business man Roger Moukarzel
“Because I was born into a family of journalists, I used to hang out with journalists at the newspaper office. When the war erupted in Lebanon, I used to take my brother’s camera – at a very early stage – and shoot some black and white images in the village.” „I was aware that what we used to do as war photographers was not translated accurately. A big part of the news was fake news because, at some level, they would translate whatever photos I had taken in a different way. I was putting my life in danger to show the reality and that was not what they were after, so I decided to quit. I didn’t know that I would become a fashion photographer in Paris. I continued down that road because I felt that I could express myself in a different way.“ It happened one evening in Beirut when I met Roger for the first time in a hotel bar. A mutual friend had introduced us and said that meeting him would be an enrichment. And so it was. Spontaneously, Roger agreed to record our conversation. Lucky me: I got to know Roger as a humble, intellectual and intelligent

#26: Special Georgia – Spending time with the internationally renowned artist Maka Batiashvili
“Art is not only a means of pleasure, but also expression and establishment of freedom, the relation of the internal world to the surrounding environment (…), the conflict of idealism and realism, the relation between the existence and non-existence. The mentality of the artist is always related to the events around him, because these events create the art.” (Maka Batiashvili) Maka Batiashvili lives and works in Tbilisi, Georgia, where she was born in 1975. After her studies of monumental painting she devoted herself to smaller formats and video works that were shown in diverse exhibitions in Georgia. Her works are journeys into silent strange worlds – thanks to concentrated observations from an unusual perspective, and thanks to their references to Georgian reality. Apart from her artistic work Maka Batiashvili is member of the Georgian Artist Group and curates and organises political actions.

#15 Jakarta Airport: About self-growth, racism and xenophobia towards countries, the power of love, and gaining a fearless mindset that sets you apart – with Emma Pascal
Emma Pascal is a 23-year old Australian business founder who happens to be both Italian and African descent. She considers herself as an adventurous person who loves getting out of her comfort zone in many aspects — may it be for business ideas, traveling, or relationships. Emma and her partner has shared a happy relationship, growing together as a couple and as individuals. Being in an interracial relationship has been challenging especially with racism existing in the society and with racist remarks that disguised as words of concern. However, Emma does not allow people’s opinions to affect her life and her relationship. To simply put it, for Emma, relationships are meant for people who knows how to treat each other with respect. This outlook has brought so many opportunities beyond her personal relationship. Her fearless and courageous mindset has helped her do all the things she wanted to do at her young age, and she advises people to do the same. A steady path, concrete plans and ideal family life ─ she was able to attain all this with love, will and passion. In this short yet beautiful session with Emma, we discussed about… 2:12 Interracial relationships 2:23 Xenophobic and
#14 How to kick men’s ass: Muay Thai, physical power, femininity, Olympic games, surfing and living abroad – with Liv Schönbächler from Switzerland
„I am for sure stronger than some guys and can defeat some men despite I am a girl!“ „Girls can be stronger than men and take them to the floor. We so often get underestimated!“ It was during a Muay Thai class where Liv caught my attention with her physical power and strength. I was impressed by how strong she kicked and boxed – all coming from a young, feminine body! Tattoos on her body speaks a lot about her personality: “Think less, live more” and “Go with the flow”. Liv radiates confidence, strength, a sense of ease, and living life to the fullest well beyond her age. Doing sports is Liv’s way to feel empowered and energized throughout the day. This inspiration comes from her parents, who pursue their passions in sports. Liv’s dad was competing in the 1994 Olympics, while her mom is a gymnast and a dancer. Raised in an active family, her parents taught her to go over her physical limits, to be strong, independent, and open to try new things. Being brought up in a chill and supportive environment in Switzerland that let her do what she wanted has made Liv grateful, as it allowed

#11 Skin to skin: About art as a reflection to strength, female empowerment, inner belief, and tattoos and where to put them – with Lea Schenk
Lea Schenk can be considered as one of the few women pioneers in Paris, France to have taken a brave stride to become an artist in the then male-dominated tattoo industry. And now being in this profession for 10 years, she is now a sought-after tattoo artist in Bali, Indonesia, continuing her life-long passion of imprinting her art on not just the skin, but within people’s hearts. Having lost so much at such a young age of seven, Lea breaks off from her past and refuses it to hinder her from what she’s destined to be. In contrast, she even accepts the fact that her upbringing is what influenced her to be the artist that she is now. Lea prides herself of being a self-made woman. She believes how her hard work molded her to become a talented artist and not the other way around.

#10 Sumba, Indonesia: About kidnapping women for marriage, empowerment, love and the importance of being financially independent – with Ima Articha
Ima Articha is a young amazing woman who was born on Sumba – an island that is less than two hours flight away from Bali in Indonesia. Her family are rice farmers since generations and Ima took her life bravely into her own hands to become a successful and financially independent woman. It took a lot of courage to go that path. Ima is now living on Bali, living the life she always wanted to have. As in other regions of the world too (e.g. on Lombok), young women – very often still minors – are kidnapped for forced marriages on Sumba. It became something society accepted. At the age of just 16 years, Ima decided for herself to not let this and the consequence of becoming a housewife to a man she has not chosen happen to her. A fight with her dad, key figure of the family, has started. Her dad refused to speak to her when she expressed her wish to receive education in hospitality business. Ima did not give up her dream at that moment. Instead, she fought for it and finally managed to enter as one out of just 50 young professionals the Sumba Hospitality
#9 Why you should go for adventures in your life and maybe even get lost – with Sky-Marie Niblett, 13 years, book author, homeschooled
Sky-Marie (What a name!) is with just 13 years my youngest interview guest in my show so far! I was amazed by the deep layers of her personality, her wisdom and fresh spirit. But not only this: Sky-Marie already published her first book. I am wondering whether there is a special reason behind her energy and dynamic? Sky-Marie and her younger brother Sunny are homeschooled. Right now, they are all living close to the Indonesian ocean, where they can watch the sunsets, with monkeys climbing up the trees and their surfboards next by. They are living a free and creative lifestyle far away from any urban area, barefoot most of the day and surrounded by same-minded friends. In the conversation with Sky-Marie we speak about… how to become a young author what homeschooling means and its advantages what power it brings to a family when having a strong centered mother that the best way to learn something you don’t like is by having fun why getting lost during adventure time can be half of the fun that a separation of parents does not necessarily need to led to a broken family life how affirmations help you to overcome fear
#8 Ubud, Bali: About the consumption of women, shiny Louis Vuitton’s, a high end criminal life in Vancouver and a finally soul rich life as an impact entrepreneur in Bali – with Aren Singh Bahia
“Give. Connect. Inspire.“ This quote from Aren aka @ink_pray_love reflects his todays personality. Aren has founded the Karma House Bali, Conscious Arts Tattoos, Full Reset Coaching, and is one of the co-founders of YogiLab. But Aren has started at a different point in his life: He was born part of the middle-class, his father being a TV cable installer and his mom working as a community librarian. When he was younger he dreamt about becoming rich. He wanted to possess fancy cars, beautiful women and shiny brands. One way to reach this target was for him to become a key figure in organizational crime in Vancouver, Canada – the city he grew up. He was recruited in a drug-dealing gang and was consuming money and women as he was addicted to drugs, power, and sex. “All the people around me, there was a lot of violence, a lot of drug overdoses, just, there’s a lot of that happening. And so I was in desperation — I needed to make a shift and change my life.” The material things brought Aran so much pride and validation that he believed for a while they could buy him happiness too. But at the
#7 How to consciously communicate with your food – with Evan Rilling

Our brain knows about proper meals. It knows “we are what we consume”, but our limiting beliefs cause us to believe differently. All over the world, depending from a certain income level of course,

#2 How a young UK millionaire monk wants to empower humanity – with David Hans-Barker
In this episode, I had the great pleasure to interview David Hans-Barker, an eight figure entrepreneur, CEO, biohacking expert and key leading meditation teacher at his retreat centre looking over the stormy cliffs of Bali. Already when I met him the first time, I was captured by his calm presence and after the interview I felt inspired, peaceful and creative. David became a millionaire and monk before he even turned 30 years. He was raised in the UK in a rough environment with a high crime rate. “If you are feeling something that you don’t want to feel then it is fear!“ David’s emotional independence was his base to become financially independent. He spent time alone in the woods, meditated and tuned in to an anti-fragile state of mind. David no longer sees risks as dangerous. One of Davids next targets in life is to empower 80 million people, that is 1% of the world population, through meditation. Meditation is a key for him to be empowered and take responsibility. “For me, not to love means that I give power away as I allow others to control my emotions“ In this episode, you will learn… ✨How to remain in silence
