In 1986, Daniel Ludwig was the richest man on the planet. Daniel Who? Exactly. In today's Ambitious Lifestyle Business podcast, I explain why going "under the radar" could be the best thing you ever do...

Daniel Ludwig was the richest man in the world and no one knew his name. I've read almost 400 biographies of history's greatest founders and this book is one of my all time favorites. Daniel Ludwig started his company at 19 and was working on it well into his 90s. He built a massive conglomerate of over 200 companies operating in more than 50 countries. Spending the time to learn how he did this is a great investment. This episode will tell you what I learned from rereading The Invisible Billionaire: Daniel Ludwig by Jerry Shields. ----Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform. Make history's greatest entrepreneurs proud by going to Ramp and learning how they can help your business control your costs and save more. ----Founders Notes gives you the ability to tap into the collective knowledge of history's greatest entrepreneurs on demand. Use it to supplement the decisions you make in your work.  Get access to Founders Notes here. ----Join my free email newsletter to get my top 10 highlights from every book----EPISODE OUTLINE 1.  Obsessed with privacy, Ludwig pays a major public relations firm fat fees to keep his name out of the papers.2.  An associate speaks of his unlimited ingenuity in dreaming up new ways of doing things.3. Ludwig's most notable characteristic, besides his imagination and pertinacity, is a lifelong penchant for keeping his mouth shut.4. I'm in this business because I like it. I have no other hobbies.5. Pertinacity: Holding strongly to an opinion, purpose, or course of action, stubbornly or annoyingly persistent.6.  Risk Game: Self Portrait of an Entrepreneur by Francis Greenburger (Founders #243)7. At his peak, he owned more than 200 companies in 50 countries.8. War makes the demand for Ludwig's products and services skyrocket.9.  Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire by James Wallace and Jim Erickson. (Founders #290)10. He did not mellow as he grew richer and older.11. Some years later, the captain of a Ludwig ship made the extravagant mistake of mailing in a report of several pages held together by a paper clip. He received a sharp rebuke for his prodigality: "We do not pay to send ironmongery by air mail!"12. Ludwig's tightfistedness, however, persisted after the Depression, putting him in sharp contrast to such free spenders as Onassis and Niarchos. It also was largely responsible for many of his innovations in the shipbuilding industry.13. Onassis: An Extravagant Life by Frank Brady. (Founders #211)14. Ludwig's ridding his ships of any feature that did not contribute to profits pleased his own obsessive sense of economy and kept him a step ahead of the competition. When someone asked why he didn't put a grand piano aboard his ships, as Stavros Niarchos did, Ludwig snapped, "You can't carry oil in a grand piano."15. Stay in the game long enough to get lucky.16. The world is a very malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and drive and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.  The Pmarca Blog Archive Ebook by Marc Andreessen (Founders #50)17. The yacht was as much a business craft as any of his tankers and probably earned him more money than any of them.18. Like the Rockefeller organization, Ludwig had mastered the practice of keeping his money by transferring it from one pocket, one company to another, while appearing to spend it.19. He had learned something by now. Opportunities exist on the frontiers where most men dare not venture, and it is often the case that the farther the frontier, the greater the opportunity.20. The way to escape competition is to either do something no one else is doing or do it where no one else is doing it.21. Much of Ludwig's success was due to his willingness to venture where more timid entrepreneurs dared not go. ----Founders Notes gives you the ability to tap into the collective knowledge of history's greatest entrepreneurs on demand.

But, then somebody at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle. And, a man on a bicycle, a human on a bicycle, blew the condor away, completely off the top of the charts.And that's what a computer is to me.

Ivar was charismatic. His charisma was not natural. Ivar spent hours every day just preparing to talk. He practiced his lines for hours like great actors do.2. Ivar's first pitch was simple, easy to understand, and legitimate: By investing in Swedish Match, Americans could earn profits from a monopoly abroad.3. Joseph Duveen noticed that Europe had plenty of art and America had plenty of money, and his entire astonishing career was the product of that simple observation. — The Days of Duveen by S.N. Behrman.  (Founders #339 Joseph Duveen: Robber Baron Art Dealer)4. Ivar studied Rockefeller and Carnegie: Ivar's plan was to limit competition and increase profits by securing a monopoly on match sales throughout the world, mimicking the nineteenth century oil, sugar, and steel trusts.5. When investors were manic, they would purchase just about anything. But during the panic that inevitably followed mania, the opposite was true. No one would buy.6. The problem isn't getting rich. The problem is staying sane. — Charlie Munger7. Ivar understood human psychology. If something is limited and hard to get to that increases desire. This works for both products (like a Ferrari) and people (celebrities). Ivar was becoming a business celebrity.8.  I've never believed in risking what my family and friends have and need in order to pursue what they don't have and don't need. — The Essays of Warren Buffett by Warren Buffett and Lawrence Cunningham. (Founders #227)9. Great ideas are simple ideas: Ivar hooked Durant with his simple, brilliant idea: government loans in exchange for match monopolies.10. Ivar wrote to his parents, "I cannot believe that I am intended to spend my life making money for second-rate people. I shall bring American methods back home. Wait and see - I shall do great things. I'm bursting with ideas. I am only wondering which to carry out first."11. Ivar's network of companies was far too complex for anyone to understand: It was like a corporate family tree from hell, and it extended into obscurity.12. “Victory in our industry is spelled survival.”   —Steve Jobs13. Ivar's financial statements were sloppy and incomplete. Yet investors nevertheless clamored to buy his securities.14. As more cash flowed in the questions went away. This is why Ponzi like schemes can last so long. People don't want to believe. They don't want the cash to stop.15. A Man for All Markets: From Las Vegas to Wall Street, How I Beat the Dealer and the Market by Ed Thorp. (Founders #222)16.  A summary of Charlie Munger on incentives:1. We all underestimate the power of incentives.2. Never, ever think about anything else before the power of incentives.3. The most important rule: get the incentives right.17. This is nuts! Fake phones and hired actors!Next to the desk was a table with three telephones. The middle phone was a dummy, a non-working phone that Ivar could cause to ring by stepping on a button under the desk. That button was a way to speed the exit of talkative visitors who were staying too long. Ivar also used the middle phone to impress his supporters. When Percy Rockefeller visited Ivar pretended to receive calls from various European government officials, including Mussolini and Stalin. That evening, Ivar threw a lavish party and introduced Rockefeller to numerous "ambassadors" from various countries, who actually were movie extras he had hired for the night.----Get access to the World's Most Valuable Notebook for Founders at Founders Notes----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

"The total editorial media value plus the media assets created around the teams are superior to pure advertising expenditures."(2:30) "It is a must to believe in one's product. If this were just a marketing gimmick, it would never work."(5:00) He doesn't place a premium on collecting friends or socializing: "I don't believe in 50 friends. I believe in a smaller number. Nor do I care about society events. It's the most senseless use of time. When I do go out, from time to time, it's just to convince myself again that I'm not missing a lot."(7:30) The most dangerous thing for a branded product is low interest.

To Mateschitz, it's just one big image campaign with many manifestations.(12:00) He has no plans to sell or take Red Bull public. "It's not a question of money. It's a question of fun. Can you imagine me in a shareholders' meeting?”(13:00) Red Bull's Billionaire Maniac https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2011-05-19/red-bulls-billionaire-maniac(16:00) He is universally described as a person with great charisma.(16:30) The Invisible Billionaire: Daniel Ludwig by Jerry Shields.

Red Bull consistently took the opposite route: It outsourced production and distribution and takes care of sales and advertising itself.(40:00) Charlie Munger and John Collison on Invest Like The Best #355 Rolex: Timeless Excellence on Invest Like The Best (41:00) If you are making a physical product make it look different from its competitors from the start.(43:00) Everything is marketing.(45:00) Never do anything that compromises your survival.(46:00) He keeps his empire constantly in motion(46:00) All corporate projects like Formula 1, football, Air Race, and media serve the core business: the sale of the energy drink.(47:00) This is a battle for attention.(49:00) Red Bull owns their events.

What I learned from reading How Larry Gagosian Reshaped The Art World by Patrick Radden Keefe. ----Get access to the World's Most Valuable Notebook for Founders at FoundersNotes.com----(4:00) The dealer has been so successful selling art to masters of the universe that he has become one of them.(5:45) We think of genius as being complicated, but geniuses have the fewest moving parts. Gagosian is simple. He's basically a shark, a feeding machine.(6:00) A novice is easily spotted because they do too much. Too many ingredients, too many movements. Too much explanation. A master uses the fewest motions required to fulfill their intention.(10:00) His own publicist described him as “A Real Killer”(12:00) The Invisible Billionaire: Daniel Ludwig by Jerry Shields. (Founders #292)(17:30) There is always a blueprint. Joseph Duveen was the art dealer to the Robber Barons. Biographies of Duveen:Duveen: A Life in Art Secrets Of An Art Dealer Duveen The Artful Partners: The Secret Association of Bernard Berenson and Joseph Duveen (18:00) Numerous friends of Gagosian caution me not to mistake this merry-go-round of parties and galas and super yacht cruises for a life of leisure.

The parties are marketing showcases in disguise.(19:00) The Taste of Luxury: Bernard Arnault and the Moet-Hennessy Louis Vuitton Story by Nadege Forestier and Nazanine Ravai. (Founders #296)(19:30) The best way to raise the price of something is to say that you would never sell it.(23:00) If Gagosian possesses one secret weapon that has equipped him for success it might be his disinhibition.(33:00) The niche Gagosian pursued was seen —at the time —as low status. The secondary business was perceived as a backwater by dealers. It was considered a bit distasteful.(42:00) He disdains formal meetings. He finds bureaucracy and protocol dull. There is no hierarchy. There is Larry and then everyone else.(44:00) Gagosian reaps huge profits from asymmetries of information.(51:00) Art is just money on the walls.(54:00) David Geffen is still as liquid as the day is long.(56:00) The competitive drive of self-made billionaires does not go into remission once they've made their fortune.----Get access to the World's Most Valuable Notebook for Founders at Founders Notes.com----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

What I learned from rereading Grinding It Out: The Making of McDonald's by Ray Kroc.This episode is brought to you by: Tiny: Tiny is the easiest way to sell your business. Tiny provides quick and straightforward exits for Founders.  ----Follow one of my favorite podcasts Invest Like The Best ![2:00] I have always believed that each man makes his own happiness and is responsible for his own problems.[4:00] I was fascinated by the simplicity and effectiveness of the system they described that night.Each step in producing the limited menu was stripped down to its essence and accomplished with a minimum of effort.[5:00] When I flew back to Chicago that fateful day in 1954, I had a freshly signed contract with the McDonald brothers in my briefcase. I was a battle-scarred veteran of the business wars, but I was still eager to go into action. I was 52 years old. I had diabetes and incipient arthritis. I had lost my gall bladder and most of my thyroid gland in earlier campaigns. But I was convinced that the best was ahead of me.[6:00] It's not what you do it's how you do it:Ralph Lauren: The Man Behind the Mystique by Jeffrey Trachtenberg.

(Founders #290)The Invisible Billionaire: Daniel Ludwig by Jerry Shields. (Founders #292)[8:00] I never considered my dreams wasted energy. They were invariably linked to some form of action.[10:00] For me, work was play.[13:00] I vowed that this was going to be my only job. I was going to make my living at it and to hell with moonlighting of any kind. I intended to devote every ounce of my energy to selling, and that's exactly what I did.[14:00] Francis Ford Coppola: A Filmmaker's Life by Michael Schumacher. (Founders #242)[20:00] This was the first phase of grinding it out—building my personal monument to capitalism. I paid tribute, in the feudal sense, for many years before I was able to rise with McDonald's on the foundation I had laid.[21:00] Make every detail perfect and limit the number of details to perfect.[26:00] I was putting every cent I had and all I could borrow into this project.[28:00] Perfection is very difficult to achieve and perfection was what I wanted in McDonald's. Everything else was secondary.[29:00] If my competitor was drowning, I'd put a hose in his mouth.[44:00] Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller by Ron Chernow. (Founders #248)John D: The Founding Father of the Rockefellers by David Freeman Hawke. (Founders #254)[47:00] The advertising campaign we put together was a smash hit.

What I learned from rereading The Invisible Billionaire: Daniel Ludwig by Jerry Shields. This episode is brought to you by: Tiny: Tiny is the easiest way to sell your business. Tiny provides quick and straightforward exits for Founders.  ----Follow one of my favorite podcasts Invest Like The Best !----[2:00] Obsessed with privacy, Ludwig pays a major public relations firm fat fees to keep his name out of the papers.[4:00]  An associate speaks of his unlimited ingenuity in dreaming up new ways of doing things.[5:00] Ludwig's most notable characteristic, besides his imagination and pertinacity, is a lifelong penchant for keeping his mouth shut.[5:00] I'm in this business because I like it. I have no other hobbies.[6:00] Holding strongly to an opinion, purpose, or course of action, stubbornly or annoyingly persistent.[8:00] Risk Game: Self Portrait of an Entrepreneur by Francis Greenburger (Founders #243)[10:00] At his peak, he owned more than 200 companies in 50 countries.[23:00] War makes the demand for Ludwig's products and services skyrocket.[25:00] Hard Drive: Bill Gates and the Making of the Microsoft Empire by James Wallace and Jim Erickson. (Founders #290)[28:00] He did not mellow as he grew richer and older.[28:00] Some years later, the captain of a Ludwig ship made the extravagant mistake of mailing in a report of several pages held together by a paper clip. He received a sharp rebuke for his prodigality: "We do not pay to send ironmongery by air mail!"[29:00] Ludwig's tightfistedness, however, persisted after the Depression, putting him in sharp contrast to such free spenders as Onassis and Niarchos. It also was largely responsible for many of his innovations in the shipbuilding industry.[29:00] Onassis: An Extravagant Life by Frank Brady. (Founders #211)[30:00] Ludwig's ridding his ships of any feature that did not contribute to profits pleased his own obsessive sense of economy and kept him a step ahead of the competition. When someone asked why he didn't put a grand piano aboard his ships, as Stavros Niarchos did, Ludwig snapped, "You can't carry oil in a grand piano."[31:00] Stay in the game long enough to get lucky.[32:00] The world is a very malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and drive and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.  The Pmarca Blog Archive Ebook by Marc Andreessen (Founders #50)[37:00] The yacht was as much a business craft as any of his tankers and probably earned him more money than any of them.[40:00] Like the Rockefeller organization, Ludwig had mastered the practice of keeping his money by transferring it from one pocket, one company to another, while appearing to spend it.[42:00] He had learned something by now. Opportunities exist on the frontiers where most men dare not venture, and it is often the case that the farther the frontier, the greater the opportunity.[43:00] The way to escape competition is to either do something no one else is doing or do it where no one else is doing it.[43:00] Much of Ludwig's success was due to his willingness to venture where more timid entrepreneurs dared not go.----Subscribe to listen to Founders Premium — Subscribers can ask me questions directly and listen to Ask Me Anything (AMA) episodes. ----Join my free email newsletter to get my top 10 highlights from every book----I use Readwise to organize and remember everything I read.

Am Tag seines 90. Geburtstages ist der grossartige Darsteller Emil Steinberger bei einem satirischen Gipfeltreffen mit Joachim Rittmeyer zu erleben. Sie bilden das Zentrum eines Hörspiels, welches faktentreu die absurden Versuche der Schweiz im kalten Krieg nachzeichnet, zur Atommacht aufzusteigen. «Dr. Seltsam oder: Wie ich lernte, die Bombe zu lieben», so heisst der Kultfilm von Stanley Kubrick aus dem Jahr 1964. Er handelt vom Kalten Krieg, der Atombombe und einem geistesgestörten General der US Air Force. Die ernst und warnend gemeinte Satire endet mit der Vernichtung der Menschheit. Hätte dieses Drehbuch auch in der Schweiz spielen können? Selbstverständlich. Immerhin hat die Eidgenossenschaft jahrzehntelang versucht, die Atombombe zu bauen, ein kleines Tschernobyl fabriziert und sogar einen atomaren Erstschlag gegen die Sowjetunion in Erwägung gezogen. Pünktlich zum 50. Jahrestag der Schweizer Reaktorkatastrophe von Lucens (Waadt) hat der Autor Randulf Lindt 2019 über diese brisanten und noch wenig bekannten Vorgänge ein vielstimmiges Hörspiel geschrieben, in dem Joachim Rittmeyer und Emil Steinberger die zwei letzten Schweizer verkörpern. Mit: Joachim Rittmeyer (Bundespräsident), Emil Steinberger (Generalstabschef Rüebli), Patti Basler (Frau Haldenfeld), Gabriel Vetter (Professor Schäfer, genannt «Tröte»), Simon Enzler (Radiosprecher), Uta Köbernick (Erzählerin), Thomas C. Breuer (Mister O'Neill), Dominique Müller (Professor Lindenbrock/Montgommery/Butoni/Tobler/Kellner/Techniker/SP-Männer/Wachsoldat/Horn, genannt «Hörnchen»/Regent von Lichtenstein), Daniel Ludwig (sowjetischer Botschafter), Randulf Lindt (ein Deutscher), Isabel Schaerer (Gretli), Noëmi Gradwohl (Lisi), Julia Glaus (Frau Scherli, Türsteherin) Tontechnik: Mirjam Emmenegger - Regie und Dramaturgie: Lukas Holliger - Produktion: SRF 2019 - Dauer: 48' Bleiben Sie auf dem Laufenden: Abonnieren Sie unseren wöchentlichen Hörspiel-Newsletter. Hier geht zur Registrierung .

Tap into eons of knowledge and experiences, condensed into digestible portions. Highly, highly recommend. “Uniquely outstanding. No fluff and all substance. David does an outstanding job summarizing these biographies and hones in on the elements that make his subjects so unique among entrepreneurs. I particularly enjoy that he focuses on both the founder's positive and negative characteristics as a way of highlighting things to mimic and avoid.”“I just paid for my first premium podcast subscription for Founders podcast. Learning from those who came before us is one of the highest value ways to invest time. David does his homework and exponentially improves my efficiency by focusing on the most valuable lessons.”“I haven't found a better return on my time and money than your podcast for inspiration and time-tested wisdom to help me on my journey.“I've now listened to every episode. From this knowledge I've doubled my business to $500k a year.

David is a craftsperson, he carefully reads biographies of founders, distills the most important anecdotes and themes from their life, and draws commonalities across lives. David's focus is rightfully not on teaching you a formula to succeed but on constantly pushing you to think different.”“I highly highly recommend this podcast. Holy cow. I've been binge listening to these and you start to see patterns across all these incredible humans.”Listening to your podcast has changed my life and that is not a statement I make often.“After one episode I quickly joined the Misfit feed.

Can't say enough good things.”“I quickly subscribed and it's honestly been the best money I've spent all year. It has inspired me to read biographies. Highly recommend.”“This is the most inspirational and best business podcast out there. David has inspired me to focus on biographies rather than general business books. I'm addicted.”“Anyone interested in business must find the time to listen to each any every Founders podcast. A high return on investment will be a virtual certainty.

Krill eyeballs. The werewolf effect. Diel vertical migration. Arctic marine biologists really talk about these things. There's a reason for that — when it comes to the polar night, when humans see only velvety darkness, krill eyeballs see things a little differently. And when the sun has been gone for months, during the darkest periods of the polar night, the moon does unexpected things to marine organisms. Learn more about what biologists are figuring out about the workings of the polar night — and what it means at a time when the Arctic is warming at a breakneck pace. Our guests for this episode were Jørgen Berge, Geir Johnsen, Laura Hobbs and Jonathan H. Cohen. You can see a transcript of the episode here. Fridtjof Nansen's book about his Arctic expedition is called Farthest North. You can also read about the other influences his pioneering journey had on science here. You can also read about Geir Johnsen's different research projects in a series of articles from Norwegian SciTech News. The findings of the polar night team are so surprising that they actually wrote a textbook about it, edited by Jørgen Berge, Geir Johnsen and Jonathan H. Cohen. The book is titled Polar Night Marine Ecology: Life and Light in the Dead of Night.

Hat er doch seit seiner Jugend eine geheime Verbindung zum «Fatman». Ein Hörspiel von David Zane Mairowitz. Als am 29. August 2005 der Hurrikan Katrina die Stadt New Orleans trifft, ist das Ausmass der Katastrophe trotz Vorsichtsmassnahmen verheerend. Nahezu die gesamte Stadt steht bis zu sieben Meter tief unter Wasser. Evakuierungszentren sind geflutet, etwa 1800 Menschen sterben, andere warten tagelang auf den Dächern ihrer Häuser auf Rettung. In all dem Chaos trifft die Musikwelt ein weiterer Schlag. Fats Domino, der grosse Rhythm&Blues-Sänger und Sohn der Stadt, ist verschwunden. Niemand weiss, wo er ist und ob er überhaupt noch lebt. Soweit die realen Fakten, die Regisseur David Zane Mairowitz als Basis für sein Hörspiel genommen hat. Und jetzt beginnt die Fiktion: Die Nachricht vom Verschwinden des «Fatman» ist für den Berliner Dudeck ein Erweckungsmoment. Er, der alte RocknRoller, der nie etwas gewagt hat, macht sich auf mitten in das Katastrophengebiet, um Fats Domino zu retten. Zu Hilfe kommen ihm dabei nur seine blutdrucksenkenden Mittel und die Fähigkeit, mit seinem grossen Idol in Gedanken zu kommunizieren. Mit YouTube-Ausschnitten sowie selbst aufgenommenen Originaltönen lässt David Zane Mairowitz ein überflutetes New Orleans akustisch auferstehen, in dem sein unbedarfter Dudeck mit Berliner Schnauze und besessen von Fats Domino mit Alligatoren um die Wette paddelt, Voodoo-Zauber erfährt und immer wieder mit der völlig überlasteten Polizei von New Orleans aneinandergerät. Das Hörspiel wurde 2012 mit dem «Prix Europa», dem «Oscar des Hörspiels», ausgezeichnet. Mit: Martin Reinke (Dudeck), Allan Evans (Fats Domino), Robin Lyn Gooch (Officer Black), Marie-Hélène Echard (Mambo Vera), Aloysius Itoka (Prediger), Henry Camus (Nachrichtensprecher), Vincent Leittersdorf (Bergungsarbeiter/1. Cop), Anikó Donáth (Krankenhausrezeptionistin), Daniel Ludwig (2. Cop) Musik: Fats Domino - Tontechnik: Ueli Karlen - Regie: David Zane Mairowitz - Produktion: SRF 2012 - Dauer: 52'

In 1911, the Mona Lisa disappeared from the Louvre. After an extensive investigation it made a surprising reappearance that inspired headlines around the world. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the painting's abduction, which has been called the greatest art theft of the 20th century. We'll also shake Seattle and puzzle over a fortunate lack of work. Intro: A hard-boiled egg will stand when spun. What's the largest sofa one can squeeze around a corner?

Mit einer kabarettistischen Starbesetzung und pünktlich zum 50. Jahrestag der Schweizer Reaktorkatastrophe von Lucens (Waadt) präsentiert SRF 1 eine atomare Politsatire. In dem von realen Tatsachen inspirierten Hörspiel verkörpern Joachim Rittmeyer und Emil Steinberger die zwei letzten Schweizer. «Dr. Seltsam oder: Wie ich lernte, die Bombe zu lieben», so heisst der Kultfilm von Stanley Kubrick aus dem Jahr 1964. Er handelt vom Kalten Krieg, der Atombombe und einem geistesgestörten General der US Air Force. Die ernst und warnend gemeinte Satire endet mit der Vernichtung der Menschheit. Hätte dieses Drehbuch auch in der Schweiz spielen können? Selbstverständlich. Immerhin hat die Eidgenossenschaft jahrzehntelang versucht, die Atombombe zu bauen, ein kleines Tschernobyl fabriziert und sogar einen atomaren Erstschlag gegen die Sowjetunion in Erwägung gezogen. Randulf Lindt hat über diese brisanten und noch wenig bekannten Vorgänge ein satirisch überhöhtes Hörspiel geschrieben. Mit: Joachim Rittmeyer (Bundespräsident), Emil Steinberger (Generalstabschef Rüebli), Patti Basler (Frau Haldenfeld), Gabriel Vetter (Professor Schäfer, genannt «Tröte»), Simon Enzler (Radiosprecher), Uta Köbernick (Erzählerin), Thomas C. Breuer (Mister O'Neill), Dominique Müller (Professor Lindenbrock/Montgommery/Butoni/Tobler/Kellner/Techniker/SP-Männer/Wachsoldat/Horn, genannt «Hörnchen»/Regent von Lichtenstein), Daniel Ludwig (sowjetischer Botschafter), Randulf Lindt (ein Deutscher), Isabel Schaerer (Gretli), Noemi Gradwohl (Lisi), Julia Glaus (Frau Scherli, Türsteherin) Tontechnik: Mirjam Emmenegger - Regie und Dramaturgie: Lukas Holliger - Produktion: SRF 2019 - Dauer: 48'

'Daniel Ludwig' Most of the people in this world would have never heard of him. Even his own neighbours since decades did not know much about it.  Daniel Ludwig living like a normal working class American. The only difference between him and other neighbours- He was a few billions rich. Daniel Ludwig was the richest man in America in the 30’s and 40’s. He constantly stayed out of the spotlight and often paid the PR firms to keep his name out of the papers. Daniel Ludwig got out of school and started working in the docks at the age of 9. He went on to become the biggest manufacturer of salt in the world, opened the biggest pulp factory in the world right in the middle of Amazon.  “The Secretive Billionaire” is a book that explores his life. It talks about how Daniel successfully shaped his life from nothing. It talks about how he prioritised hard work and becoming the best version of himself, rather than media spotlight and attention. Daniel Ludwig believed that you can transform the world just through the way you see yourself. See yourself as average, someone on whom works needs to be done - ON A DAILY BASIS, then and then alone can you bend this world to your will.

Naser is a special podcast guest. He is not just a valued colleague of mine, no he is in my eyes also the inspiration for many young people who are lost in knowing their true self. Naser describes himself as minimalist, coach and hippie, on a quest to discover what makes human beings feel alive, happy and fulfilled. Finding the inner child isn‘t on his quest, no he has it already and brings this to daylight on his daily coaching to young professions, students to find their true passion and potential in entrepreneurship, life and career. His Book title „Life Without a Script“ says it all. No conformity to status quo while being curious about what is next. Being open to change while living in the present. He chooses 7 chapters, starting with Chapter 1 „Living By The Script“ where he explains more about his „lost“ engineering study years. But also his first professional years in P&G where he could as well see good learnings for his future path. In Chapter 2 he literally is „Taking The Leap“ where he talks about a step by step personal progress towards inner satisfaction. He emphasized that building the bridge while knowing his priority was key in this part of his life and the years ahead. In Chapter 3 he asked: what is less? He called it „Stripping Down“ and explains what decluttering and minimalism uncovered within his life. Chapter 4 is all about „Moving Forward“ taking the next steps in his life at working closely with university students at Sheraa Entrepreneurship Centre. Living an extraordinary life in an ordinary environment is pretty much the summary of Chapter 5, which he called „Exploration“. He explains his first trip to the US and the „World Domination Summit“ in Portland in 2017 founded by Chris Guillebeau Author of the books „The Art of Non-conformity“ or the 100$ Startup. Chapter 6 called „Becoming Human“ which is about how to bring your inner child out and how to create things in the moment. He explains his current work at Courtyard Playhouse a Performing arts theatre in the United Arab Emirates, known for their improvisation stage plays. Last but not least „Finding Clarity in Confusion“ which is his last chapter number 7. Where he aims to live in the present, in the flow and, expanding improvisation techniques to help others finding their passion in life. —————————————————- CHAPTERS OF MY LIFE PODCAST BOOK TITLE Life Without a Script CHAPTERS 1 Living By The Script 2 Taking The Leap 3 Stripping Down 4 Moving Forward 5 Exploration 6 Becoming Human 7 Finding Clarity in Confusion —————————————————— You can find more about Naser, not really on social media, though on his older blog posts on Medium https://medium.com/@NaserAL?source=linkShare-d6329a95a3d7-1525411016 or via e-mail at nsughaiyer@gmail.com and FB Messenger.

„One thing I noticed, most of them do not have any goals or expectations from their lives when they are young“ - Yasmeen Fatimah founder of Foundation for Equal Citizenship I had the pleasure to speak with Yasmeen Fatimah founder of Foundation for Equal Citizenship while she was in a short stay in Dubai. I have worked with Yasmeen last year in a Pashmina Scarf Project to empower underprivileged workers in India. Every time I met her, I feel that energy to empower minorities and underprivileged people and give them a voice. Yasmeen worked in Silicon Valley during the IT 2000er booming years at Intel, Visa and EMC as Software Engineer and Project Manager among others, but one area she couldn’t let of is trying to bridge the gap between inequality in living conditions or even basic human rights. Social justice has always been the main focus area throughout her career but also her own projects. With being as she said a nomad, she kept travelling between India and USA, between her Career in Silicon Valley and building social justice while bridging the gap with low-income workers in India as well as empowering young people to dream again. —————————————————- CHAPTERS OF MY LIFE PODCAST BOOK TITLE Contrasts that Shape Me CHAPTERS 1 Being Minority 2 Uncertainties in Life 3 Living in Silicon Valley 4 Social Change?

“So many times in life we come across so many struggles so many miseries so many challenges but we should understand that this is the time when you will be in the best of your abilities” - Harinaam Anand - Founder of Kirtan Dubai I had the pleasure to interview Harinaam - founder of Kirtan Dubai, a community coming together every Friday to mantra chanting. This podcast is not just about kirtan, peace, fulfilment and giving kindness it’s also about living a simple life and giving back to the community. Harinaam once said “Kirtan is the Yoga of Music” - I couldn’t describe it better for someone new to Kirtans. Therefore there wasn’t a question about how he names his book. In fact, he called it “Kirtan for everyone”. What I found most inspiring was listening to his overcoming of setbacks in life, which eventually led him to Kirtan today and believe and drive to give back to the community. His passion for Kirtan brought him to among others the world famous International Yoga Festival back in March 2018 too. Spreading peace and giving kindness is on his agenda and that’s also why his next chapter in life called “Explosion” - in other words, spreading kirtan to more communities around the world. His book: —————————————————- CHAPTERS OF MY LIFE PODCAST BOOK TITLE Kirtan for Everyone CHAPTERS 1 Looking up at the sky 2 Learning from life 3 Balancing your life 4 Finding shelter 5 The beginning NEXT CHAPTER Explosion —————————————————— You can find more about Harinaam and Kirtan Dubai on Instagram and Facebook @Kirtandubai - In general, the community in of Kirtans as I learned from Harinaam is growing steadily around the world too.

“You’ve got to be able to express, to give what it is of who you are” - Sam Jones I met Sam back in 2013 during an NGO work of one of my social initiatives back in London. 5 years later I’m glad to interview him and dig deeper into how his book could look like. Sam is the founder of ALL IN, CEO and Millennial Speaker at Twenty Someone. He works with over 140 individuals, specialising in millennials. Delivered Workshops and keynotes to over 3000 people. In a nutshell, his intensive coaching shifts young people‘s personal and professional life from the inside-out. Plus he was in the final round of the Queens Young Leaders 2014. Sam truly believes that happy people win, he repeatedly mentions this on social media. As a coach, he aims to work on the self-belief of young people. His book is: ---------------------------------------------------- ABOUT CHAPTERS OF MY LIFE BOOK TITLE ALL IN - Happy People Win CHAPTERS 1 Start with why 2 Individuals 3 Reality 4 Don’t conform to the should 5 Turning Point 6 Tweet someone 7 Figuring out 8 Stay humble NEXT CHAPTER Experimenting - doing more things that challenge me ---------------------------------------------------- With his book title „ALL IN, Happy People Win“, he definitely touches an important point. During the podcast I won’t forget what he emphasized: “You’ve got to be able to express, to give what it is of who you are”. He likes to get to the point, lot’s of chapters but short once, straight into the topic. His authentic style on social media is as Sam is in reality. Sam is an incredible speaker with putting facts on the table which are worth mentioning especially in self-developing.

We interview innovators, athletes, entrepreneurs and idealists give an insight into their past life from a young age till today and (future untold plans) covering topics around sports, entrepreneurship, mindfulness, travel, nutrition, spirituality, yoga & meditation and more - everything which leads to the person they are today.
