Unser heutiger Gast ist Julius Göllner. Er hat seine Karriere klassisch in der Beratung begonnen. Dann wurde er von den Zalando-Gründern in das damals noch junge Unternehmen geholt und baute es mit auf. Erst dort habe er das Unternehmertum gelernt, sagt er in der aktuellen Folge der Angel Faces. Diese Erfahrung und dieses Wissen gibt er nun als erfolgreicher Business Angel an junge Gründerinnen und Gründer weiter. Privat und mit seinem Unternehmen eNugget Ventures hat er in zahlreiche Start-ups investiert – ohne dabei ein klares Profil zu verlieren. Außerdem ist er Mitgründer von ARRtist, einem Netzwerk für B2B-Softwarevertrieb. Beim ARRtist Summit treffen sich Gründer:innen und C-Level Executives, um sich über die Branche auszutauschen.

Unser Gast ist Katja Ruhnke. Sie ist eine erfolgreiche Business Angel und Gründerin von CK Venture Capital. Ein Fonds, der sich auf Impact Investments spezialisiert hat. Dabei sah ihre Karriere vor einiger Zeit noch ganz anders aus: Nachdem sie zunächst nicht ins Familienunternehmen einsteigen wollte, folgte sie dem Ruf auf die große Bühne. Zehn Jahre lang war sie als Musicaldarstellerin aktiv. Seit 2019 ist sie gemeinsam mit ihrer Schwester als Business Angel in der Gründerszene unterwegs. Ihr Antrieb war von Anfang an die feste Überzeugung, dass wir mit innovativen Start-ups die Welt ein Stück besser machen und die Wirtschaft von morgen aktiv gestalten können. Derzeit ist ihr Fonds in 14 junge Unternehmen investiert. Martin Möllmann, Senior Investment Manager beim HTGF in Berlin, trifft auf eine lebensbejahende und engagierte Frau. Sie hat in ihrem Leben viel Erfahrung gesammelt und gibt diese nun an eine neue Generation von Gründerinnen und Gründern weiter. Im Gespräch erzählt sie, wie sie echten Impact in ihre Finanzierungen integriert. Warum es aus ihrer Sicht unerlässlich ist, einen Business Angel an seiner Seite zu haben. Und welchen Einfluss ihr früheres Leben als Schauspielerin auf ihre Arbeit als Investorin hat. All das erfahren wir in der neuen Folge von Angel Faces mit der wunderbaren Katja Ruhnke.

Dabei ist sie noch recht neu in der Szene: Vor nicht einmal zwei Jahren hat sie den Sprung ins kalte Wasser gewagt und sich als Investorin und Förderin junger Unternehmen ein eigenes Netzwerk aufgebaut. Derzeit ist Sylvia in fünf Start-ups aus unterschiedlichen Branchen investiert. Und das sehr erfolgreich: Kürzlich wurde Sylvia zum Business Angel des Jahres gekürt. Warum sie diese Auszeichnung verdient hat, konnte Martin Möllmann, Senior Investment Manager beim HTGF in Berlin, im Gespräch mit ihr erfahren. Denn neben ihren Angel-Aktivitäten ist Sylvia als Co-Lead beim NCA, dem Next Commerce Accelerator in Hamburg, aktiv. Welche Kompetenzen sie den Start-ups dort aus ihrem bisherigen Berufsleben mitgeben kann, worauf sie bei der Kommunikation mit Start-ups besonders achtet und was für sie Red Flags im Umgang mit jungen Unternehmen sind, erfahren wir in der aktuellen Folge der Angel Faces.

In der dritten Episode von Angel Faces sprechen wir mit Steffen Seifarth. Er ist erfolgreicher Angel mit aktuell zwölf eigenen Investments. Außerdem ist er Geschäftsführer des Berlin Angel Fund, einem Zusammenschluss Berliner Early-Stage Investoren. Er begleitet Start-ups dabei, Geschäftsmodelle zu entwickeln, die langfristig erfolgreich sein können. Für den besonderen Zugang hilft ihm dabei auch seine Coachingausbildung. Sie hat ihm damals den Einstieg in die Welt der Business Angel geöffnet und macht ihn seitdem zu einem besonders wertvollen Partner für junge Gründerteams. Wie entwickeln wir Organisationen, die morgen etwas können, was sie sich heute noch nicht zutrauen? Diese zentrale Frage ist ein wichtiger Treiber der Arbeit von Steffen Seifarth. Im Gespräch mit Martin Möllmann, Senior Investment Manager beim HTGF in Berlin, teilt er mit uns außerdem die wichtigsten Kriterien, an denen er gute Gründerinnen und Gründer erkennt.

Kathryn interviews Author Mark E. Scott. Jack Current isn't just hoping to drown his sorrows during his evening pub crawl through downtown Cincinnati's Over the Rhine neighborhood; he's hoping to actually drown — in the Ohio River. But not until he has poured his heart onto paper in the dollar store notebook he's got with him. Aptly referred to as The Drunk Log, Jack's notebook contains the secret to his pain, and a bartender with a sixth sense will sneak a peek, just in time. Mark E. Scott's compelling story of one man's last hurrah, Drunk Log, invites readers to follow a relatable protagonist who, in the midst of buckling under oppressive guilt, embarks on one last bar crawl before he plans to end his own life. Scott spent four years traveling the world aboard the USS Mount Whitney, later completing a degree in Education, only to become a banker soon thereafter. Drunk Log is a darkly humorous introspective exploration into one man's attempt to find peace in the face of unrelenting pain.Kathryn also interviews Author & Founder of Angel Faces Lesia S. Cartelli. Since 2003, the nonprofit Angel Faces has helped transform the lives of adolescents and young women who have suffered severe, permanent scars and disfigurements from burn injuries and traumatic events through intensive, residential retreats, and ongoing support. Founder Lesia Cartelli was severely burned by a natural gas explosion when she was just 9 years old, and as an adult, she recognized the psychosocial needs of adolescent girls and young women with disfigurements. Program elements include yoga, climbing and journaling, plus one-on-one instruction from professionals in the cosmetics industry to teach the women how to minimize scarring while enhancing their individual beauty. Cartelli is also the author of Heart of Fire, in which she shares the details of her own traumatic experience and the path that led to her founding of Angel Faces.

Dr. Dan is honored to speak to courageous author, inspiring speaker, and visionary leader Lesia Stockall Cartelli today about Angel Faces, the national nonprofit she founded that provides healing retreats and ongoing support to adolescent girls and young women with severe burns and trauma injuries.  Lesia Cartelli overcame a serious injury at the age of nine and learned to transform her intense pain into a life of passion and purpose. Today she touches the hearts of everyone she comes in contact and has helped thousands. Lesia Stockall Cartelli endured serious burn injuries at the age of nine in a natural gas explosion. For thirty years, Cartellilaunched and directed aftercare programs for burn and trauma patients. In 2003, she founded Angel Faces. Cartelli was selected as “Hero of the Week” by People Magazine, featured on CNN’s “Human Factor” with Dr. Sanjay Gupta, HLN, ABC NEWS 20/20, MSN, PBS, and other national media. She has received many prestigious awards for her leadership and inspiration including the “Heart of a Woman” Award on the Dr. Phil Show and an EMMY for Angel Faces mini documentary. Dr. Dan and Lesia discuss how parents can support their children by seeking professional help and support -- for their child and for themselves, too.  Lesia discusses how for any teen it's tough trying to fit into a world obsessed with physical beauty, but for a young woman who has been permanently disfigured by a traumatic injury trying to fit in is deeply challenging. Stares, unwanted questions and rejection are the reality this special group of survivors deals with on a daily basis.  During the Angel Faces retreats survivors learn to deal with grief and loss, gain tools to deal with everyday struggles, and so much more. In today’s interview, Lesia and Dr. Dan demonstrate how to talk to kids with direct questions and how to discover blessings and gifts within any challenge. Lesia explains how she also teaches the power of embracing our fears—something she did herself at age thirty-three when she faced her fear of fire and suited up in full firefighting gear to enter a burning building known as a "control burn.” (A beautiful side note to the story is that after she conquered her fear, she married the fire captain who actually led her into the fire.) Today’s podcast interview about Leisa and Angel Faces (and her Parent Footprint moment) is one listeners will never forget. Dr. Dan’s conversation with Leisa will give everyone hope. About Angel Faces: Angel Faces®, founded in 2003, is a non-profit organization headquartered in Encinitas, CA, whose mission is to provide healing retreats and ongoing support for adolescent girls and young women with severe and permanent disfigurement from burn/trauma injuries so they may achieve their optimum potential and develop meaningful relationships for themselves, their families, and their communities. Leisa’s work with others and her own healing journey inspired Lesia to write the book Heart of Fire.  For more information, please visit www.angelfaces.com.
