Viele, die Fabian Greiser in seiner Jugend haben Basketball spielen sehen, waren sich sicher, dass sie dem größtem Basketballtalent der Stadt zusehen durften. Mit seiner Athletik stopfte der junge Mann derart kraftvoll den Ball durch die Reuse, dass er mit diesem Können weltweit für Aufsehen sorgte und diverse Slam-Dunk-Contests gewinnen konnte. Während seiner Reisen vertiefte er sich in die Kunst des Graffiti und fragte sich früh, wie Firmen es schaffen, Kunden für sich zu gewinnen und an sich zu binden. Nachdem sein Körper der sportlichen Belastung nicht mehr Stand hielt, sattelte er um und schaffte den Grunstein seiner heutigen Arbeit im Designbüro x-height in Rosenheim. Neben dieser Arbeit sucht er zunehmend die Herausforderung, sich als Künstler zu finden. Fabian Greiser erzählt u.a. , wie ihn die Kunst gepackt hat und was es bedeutet, mit einem Kunstwerk in einen Dialog zu treten. (Foto: privat) Vielen Dank fürs Zuhören!!!

Alexandra Greiser hat sich früh dazu entschieden, Stoff-Upcycling zu machen und hat sich selbst das Designen und Nähen von Kleidern beigebracht. Mit diesem Wissen hat sie vor 10 Jahren ihre erste Modelinie auf ihrem Label "Nanas" veröffentlicht. Inzwischen setzt sie sich mit der Frage auseinander, wie können Stoffreste so zusammengebracht und verarbeitet werden, dass neue Stoffe entstehen, die auch eine Lebensdauer haben. Für Alexandra Greiser ist es wichtig, sich kreativ ausdrücken zu können und Kreativität den Stellenwert in der Gesellschaft zu geben, den sie verdient. So erzählt sie von wie erfüllend es sein kann prozessorientiert und eben nicht ergebnisorientiert zu arbeiten. (Foto: privat) Vielen Dank fürs Zuhören!!!

We're excited to welcome XYPN member Ryan Greiser, founder of the Pennsylvania-based financial planning firm Opulus, to the show. Ryan started his professional career as an athletic trainer before a client recruited him into a financial planning firm, where “financial planning” was actually just cold calling and selling insurance. Ryan lasted three years before moving to a broker-dealer, and while he was able to do more planning there, he was still expected to sell insurance—and a lot of it at that. Ryan ultimately launched his own firm in 2019, and has been on a rapid growth trajectory ever since. Most recently, Ryan has been building out a cryptocurrency offering to support his clients, which has become a big driver of new business for his firm. In this episode, we talk extensively about Ryan's cryptocurrency offering, going into the details of how he designed it and his vision for the future.

The term “totalitarian” is useful as it well describes the aspirations of polities such as Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union (at least under Stalin). Yet it can also be misleading, for it suggests that totalitarian ambitions were in fact achieved. But they were not, as we can see in Catherine Epstein's remarkably detailed, thoroughly researched, and clearly presented Model Nazi: Arthur Greiser and the Occupation of Western Poland (Oxford UP, 2010). Greiser was a totalitarian if ever there were one. He believed in the Nazi cause with his heart and soul. He wanted to create a new Germany, and indeed a new Europe dominated by Germans. As the Gauleiter of Wartheland (an area of Western Poland annexed to the Reich), he was given the opportunity to help realize the Nazi nightmare in the conquered Eastern territories. But, as Epstein shows, he was often hindered both by his own personality and the chaos that characterized Nazi occupation of the East. Grieser emerges from Epstein's book as someone who wanted to be a “model Nazi,” but couldn't really manage it because he was a crooked timber working in a crooked system. His personal life was an embarrassing tangle of marriages, affairs, and break-ups that at points threatened his career. His professional life was marked by ambition, ego-mania, and fawning, none of which endeared him to most of his colleagues and superiors. And his murderous attempts to “work toward the Fuhrer” in the Wartheland–by displacing Poles, murdering Jews and other “undesirables,” and populating the East with Germans–were stymied by the cross-cutting jurisdictions, conflicting agendas, and professional jealousies that were one of the hallmarks of Nazi rule. Grieser did his best (or his worst, depending on how you look at it) to Germanize the Wartheland. He improvised, maneuvered, and “worked the system” such as it was in pursuit of the Nazi totalitarian project. Thankfully, he failed, demonstrating again that totalitarian dreams, though they can be horribly distructive, are a far reach from totalitarian realities. Learn more about your ad choices.
