Diese Folge wird remote aufgenommen: Isabel am Wörthersee, Lukas in Wien – und das Türkis des Sees ist, so viel sei verraten, bereits im ersten Satz zu spüren. Lukas kommt frisch aus einer vollgepackten Woche zurück: Fireside Chat in München mit dem Wiener Gesundheits-Startup NYRA HEALTH, Gespräche mit Gründerinnen, Unternehmerinnen, Family Offices und eine Erkenntnis, die hängen, die von der darauffolgenden Uni-Vorlesung bleibt – nämlich warum das amerikanische Rechtssystem auf Einzelfallentscheidungen basiert, während wir in Europa Gesetzestexte haben. Und dann noch ein Zitat, das die ganze Woche zusammenfasst: Take your work seriously, but not yourself. Der eigentliche Kern der Folge ist das Thema Stundenwert – wie bepreist man sich als Selbstständige/r, wenn die Leistung längst nicht alles ist, was zählt? Netzwerk, Marke, gelebte Erfahrung: das sind Dinge, die man schwer in eine Rechnung packt, die aber den Unterschied machen. Ein Studienkollege brachte es auf den Punkt: Es dauert so lange, wie man alt ist. 42 Jahre bedeutet, es hat 42 Jahre gedauert, um zu wissen, was man jetzt weiß. Die gesamte Lebenserfahrung steckt in der Stunde — und genau das ist ihr Preis. Wer das früher versteht, verliert weniger. Lukas erlebt im ÖBB Railjet Business Class – seinem klaren Favorit für österreichische Strecken – eine äußerst amüsante und sagen wir individuelle Bestellsituation. Buchempfehlung der Folge: Poor Charlie's Almanack von Charlie Munger. Isabel will Lukas' “Love Language” herausfinden, aber das gelingt ihr nicht ganz…

OA1269 - It's official: Donald Trump has nominated Acting Attorney General “Two Taint” Todd Blanche to run the Department of Justice for real. We review Blanche's three-year career as Trump's personal defense attorney before considering the questions the Senate Judiciary Committee should be asking to determine just who Blanche has been really working for in his time at DOJ so far. Then: the U.S. is hosting the world's biggest international sports event at a time when our immigration system has never been less hospitable, and even before the first World Cup kickoff Trump's CBP has been giving red cards to players, coaches, support staff, and fans who had  already been cleared by the refs at U.S. consulates abroad. Matt explains the immigration law logistics of international tournaments, and how this administration's harsh immigration policies are actively working against the system's efforts to make things easier for World Cup visitors.
