Podcast: „Führ mich zum Schotter“ – Interview mit Heiko Raatz, Vertriebstrainer und digitaler NomadeIn dieser packenden Episode von „Führ mich zum Schotter“ spricht Gastgeber Michael Kotzur mit Heiko Raatz, einem erfahrenen Vertriebstrainer und digitalen Nomaden. Seit 2022 lebt Heiko ohne festen Wohnsitz und bereist die Welt, während er sein Business als Verkaufstrainer komplett digital betreibt. Mit über 18 Jahren Erfahrung im Vertrieb und sieben Jahren als Trainer gibt Heiko faszinierende Einblicke in seinen unkonventionellen Lebensstil – von Albanien über Thailand bis Vietnam.Michael und Heiko tauchen tief in die Welt des digitalen Nomadentums ein: Wie funktioniert es, als Vertriebstrainer online zu arbeiten? Wie viel Geld braucht man, um diesen Lebensstil zu finanzieren? Welche Herausforderungen und Freiheiten bringt das Reisen ohne festen Wohnsitz mit sich? Heiko erzählt, wie er sein Business aufbaute, bevor er Deutschland verließ, und warum die Bürokratie ihn dazu brachte, sein Leben unbürokratischer zu gestalten. Dabei räumt er mit Mythen auf, etwa dass Kunden ein Problem damit hätten, mit jemandem zusammenzuarbeiten, der in Dubai oder anderswo lebt – für seine Kunden zählt nur die Qualität seiner Arbeit.Ein zentrales Thema ist das Mindset eines digitalen Nomaden. Heiko betont, wie wichtig es ist, finanzielle Rücklagen zu bilden und nicht nur von der Hand in den Mund zu leben. Er empfiehlt Anfängern, sich gut vorzubereiten, ohne den Prozess zu überdenken, und teilt praktische Tipps, wie man Gesundheits- und Einkommensfragen klärt, bevor man loszieht. Besonders eindrucksvoll sind seine Geschichten aus dem Alltag: Von einer Lebensmittelvergiftung in Albanien, die dank eines effizienten Gesundheitssystems schnell behandelt wurde, bis hin zu Momenten des Glücks, wenn er nach einem erfolgreichen Kundengespräch in Bangkok den Laptop zuklappt und den Nachtmarkt genießt.Heiko empfiehlt günstige Reiseziele wie Albanien, Thailand, Vietnam und Nordmazedonien, wo man mit einem Budget unter 2.000 Euro im Monat ein komfortables Leben führen kann. Er spricht offen über die Vorurteile, denen digitale Nomaden begegnen – etwa die Schadenfreude mancher, wenn jemand nach Jahren zurückkehrt – und warum er solche Rückschläge nicht als Scheitern sieht. Für ihn zählt die Erfahrung, die Welt zu sehen und herauszufinden, wo er langfristig leben möchte.Die Episode ist eine Inspiration für alle, die vom digitalen Nomadentum träumen, und ein Plädoyer für Mut, Vorbereitung und die richtige innere Haltung. Michael und Heiko teilen persönliche Highlights, wie den Moment, als Heiko in Bangkok nach einem Kundengespräch mehrere Tausend Euro verdiente und sich bewusst wurde, wie frei sein Leben geworden ist. Gleichzeitig reflektieren sie humorvoll über die Unterschiede im Alltag – von der Hektik und Unfreundlichkeit in Deutschland bis hin zur Gelassenheit und Herzlichkeit in anderen Ländern.Hörer können sich auf zwei weitere Folgen mit Heiko freuen, in denen es um Statussymbole, Verkaufsstrategien und die Kunst des Verkaufens im Alltag gehen wird.

Was ist "Die Welt von …?" Wenn wir über Video- und Computerspiele sprechen, die entweder elaborat ausgestaltete eigene Welten mit Hintergrundgeschichten haben oder über solche, die ihre Welt aus Literatur, Rollenspiel oder Film borgen, nehmen wir uns zuweilen die Zeit und sprechen ausführlicher über Lore jener Welten als das in den regulären Folgen möglich wäre. Im Format Die Welt von… erforschen Rahel Schmitz und Mháire Stritter die Legenden, die Geografie, die Geschichte, die Politik von diesen fiktiven Welten. Rahel und Mháire holen sich dabei von Fall zu Fall ergänzende Expertise von ausgewiesenen Kennern und Kennerinnen der jeweiligen Welt. Diesmal kommt im Podcast neben den Sprecherinnen auch der Autor und Illustrator Andreas Schroth zu Wort, der ist auch Chefredakteur von Shadowrun. Worum geht's: Das Pen&Paper-Rollenspiel Shadowrun katapultiert uns in eine nahe Cyberpunk-Zukunft, in der die Magie erwacht ist und Metamenschen in Form von Elfen, Orks, Zwerge und Trolle entstanden sind. Es ist eine Zukunft, in der es schamanische Geister und Hacker gibt, Drachen und Megakonzerne, Cyberimplantate und Zauberei. Doch wie passen die die glitzernde Welt der Konzerne, die digitale Anarchie der Netzwerke und die wiedererstandene Magie zusammen? In dieser Episode werfen wir einen Blick auf die Mythen, Konflikte und Schauplätze der Welt von Shadowrun. Podcast-Credits: Sprecher, Redaktion: Rahel Schmitz, Mháire Stritter Audioproduktion: Fabian Langer, Christian Schmidt Titelgrafik: Paul Schmidt Intro, Outro: Nino Kerl (Ansage); Chris Hülsbeck (Musik) Wir danken Andreas Schroth für seine Bereitschaft, mit uns über Shadowrun zu sprechen. Ah, und Gunnar, der gibt eingangs einen kurzen Abriss über die Video- und Computerspiele in diesem Setting.

Over the past several years, most of the returns in real estate have been generated because of declining interest rates and cap rates. If you just held on to properties long enough, even without successfully executing on a business plan, you fared well. However, an oversupply of capital resulted in overly unrealistic underwriting for both lenders and operators, and distress has ensued. In more recent years, the tide has changed, and a much higher degree of expertise is required to be successful. Jack Cohen, Managing Director of ArrowMark Partners, and prior owner of Cohen Financial, has a 40+ career in commercial real estate lending and investing, and was one of the largest commercial real estate lenders in the nation.

We Must Save the Books. That's Michael Kimmage's SOS message from Trumpian Washington in this issue of Liberties Quarterly. Kimmage, former director of the Kennan Institute at the Wilson Center, describes the surreal experience of being hired in January 2025 only to see his institution shuttered by Trump's administration three months later. He reflects on the "American ruin" created as a consequence of abandonment of the Wilson Center's 30,000 book library. And Kimmage connects the rapid destruction of foreign policy institutions like USAID and the U.S. Institute of Peace to a broader assault on expertise and nonpartisan learning, warning that without such institutions, "an abyss opens" in American governance and international relations. Five Key Takeaways* Institutional Destruction was Swift and Unexplained - The Wilson Center, USAID (reduced from 10,000 to 15 employees), and U.S. Institute of Peace were shuttered within months with no clear rationale provided, creating a "nightmare-like" quality where decisions happened without accountability.* America's First Modern Ruin - Kimmage describes the abandoned Wilson Center library as unprecedented in American experience - a functioning institution in the heart of Washington D.C. suddenly left as a tomb-like ruin, unlike anything seen in a country never defeated on its own soil.* Books Were Saved, But Expertise Was Lost - While the 30,000-volume library was eventually rescued and distributed to universities, the real loss was the destruction of nonpartisan expertise and institutional knowledge that took decades to build.* Echoes of 1950s McCarthyism - The assault on expertise mirrors McCarthyism, with direct connections through Roy Cohn's mentorship of Trump, but differs in scale since it's driven by a president rather than a senator.* The Death of Learning in Government - The shutdowns represent a fundamental rejection of the idea that careful, nonpartisan study of international affairs is essential to effective policymaking, potentially creating an "abyss" in American foreign policy capacity.Michael Kimmage is Director of the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute. Prior to joining the Kennan Institute, Michael Kimmage was a professor of history at the Catholic University of America. From 2014 to 2017, he served on the Secretary's Policy Planning Staff at the U.S. Department of State, where he held the Russia/Ukraine portfolio. He has been a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and at the German Marshall Fund; and was on the advisory board of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. He publishes widely on international affairs and on U.S. policy toward Russia. His latest book, Collisions: The War in Ukraine and the Origins of the New Global Instability, was published by Oxford University Press in March 2024. He is also the author of The Abandonment of the West: The History of an Idea in American Foreign Policy, published by Basic Books in 2020, and The Conservative Turn: Lionel Trilling, Whittaker Chambers and the Lessons of Anti-Communism, published by Harvard University Press in 2009.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

How does a seasoned corporate lawyer and former General Counsel for a global foundation transition from a world of high-stakes legal and philanthropic work to building a specialized social impact consulting firm - all while initially harboring deep skepticism about the consulting industry itself? Scott Curran, Founder and CEO of Beyond Advisers, shares his nine-year journey from in-house counsel, where he saw many consultant relationships go awry, to creating a thriving practice that now operates almost entirely on retainer and 100% through word-of-mouth referrals.Scott reveals the pivotal moments and mindset shifts that propelled him forward, from confronting imposter syndrome to his early client acquisition strategy of scheduling daily breakfasts, coffees, and lunches for two straight weeks. He emphasizes the foundational lesson learned: "The most important thing I learned is to not overlook the importance of the beginner's mindset of your client... meet your clients where they are." Today, Scott breaks down his path, from the initial $2,500 project to developing a high-value, retainer-based model, and why "simplicity is at the core of everything I do."In this episode you will learn about:Scott's move from corporate law/philanthropy to social impact consultingThe power of an "exquisite statement of work" and clear deliverablesOvercoming imposter syndrome: assessing risks, seeking advice, and planningScott's 30-meeting networking strategy for early client acquisitionIdentifying the market gap for "fractional General Counsel" servicesBuilding a business on 100% word-of-mouth referrals over a decadeEvolving pricing: from a $2,500 first project to high-value retainersStructuring retainers with clear opt-out clauses to build trustChoosing fewer, higher-retainer clients over scaling into a large agencyBuilding a flexible team: core principals and "plug and play" specialistsLeveraging AI for research, like "Google on steroids."The value of a "beginner's mindset" for deeper client relationshipsMentioned in this episode:Join an Elite Group of Consulting Founders in Montreal for Serious GrowthImagine being in a room where every other 6 or 7-figure consulting founder is as serious about growth as you are.

Through clear, biblical teaching and personal insight, Will exposes how poor religious practices can distort the gospel and weigh down believers with shame, fear, and obligation. But the message doesn't stop there. This sermon shifts gears into the liberating truth of the resurrection and the arrival of the New Creation. What does it actually mean to be a Christian? What does true loyalty to Christ look like beyond rules, checklists, or cultural Christianity? If you've ever felt disillusioned by religion or burdened by trying to “earn” your place with God, this sermon offers hope, clarity, and the freedom found in the risen Jesus.

We'll show how modern tribalism, selective outrage, and media-driven division are tearing apart our families, confusing our kids, and distracting us from the only solution that brings real justice: the gospel of Jesus Christ.   Uncommon Creation | Wood Work and Expertise: https://uncommoncreations3.wixsite.com/uncommon-creations/category/all-products?fbclid=IwY2xjawHWtTpleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHd2BptF-I3w1BNlxYE2ZJDf1OjNgz2WETT0yBBTW-HfIjyWyX2e1g02mhQ_aem_E5IXshsJQ19WUBcgV2-9aw Music Credit: Bensound, High Octane - #2215113

I'm delighted to speak with Dave Bright and Dr Oliver Runswick in this episode. Dave is a coach and Senior Lecturer in Sport Coaching at Chichester University. His main research interests are in motor learning and its application to practical sport coaching. Dave has coached martial arts for 25+ years. And it was from his experiences in coaching that led him to do a Sport Science Coaching degree, then a Sport & Exercise Psychology Masters degree. Dave's current role requires him to develop undergraduate students as sport coaches, providing them with an awareness and understanding of the underpinning motor learning and coaching research. Dave is undertaking a PhD investigating the effects of cognitive load and autonomous task selection in motor learning. Ollie is a Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London. His research focuses on understanding and enhancing learning and performance in domains including sport, dance, education, and the military.  Ollie is the Editor in Chief of Perceptual and Motor Learning Skills at Sage Publishing and a Human Performance Technology Consultant providing consultancy in virtual reality applications, skill acquisition and motor learning, perceptual-cognitive skill, training/practice design, talent ID and development, vision in performance and performance systems. Ollie received a first-class BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from Swansea University, MSc in Human Movement Science from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, PGCHE from St Mary's University, and PhD from Liverpool Hope University where he studied perceptual-motor skills based with St Mary's University's Expertise and Skill Acquisition Research Group.   Dave, Ollie and I discuss a paper they co-wrote along with Dr Jenny Smith, Dr Philip Kearney which compares two learning conditions - task-related autonomy and cognitive effort. Research has shown that both feelings of autonomy (as supported by OPTIMAL theory) and cognitive effort (as supported by Challenge Point) can positively impact skill development. This research paper aimed to compare these two approaches to learning. Results showed no differences between the effects of autonomy and cognitive effort, but uncovered participants use of tactical learning to improve. We unpack the paper and discuss its real-world application for coaching settings.
