Als die Maschine mit ihrem markanten Vierzylinder-Boxer 1974 auf der IFMA in Köln vorgestellt wurde, war sie eine Sensation – die erste japanische Tausender, das erste japanische wassergekühlte Motorrad und das erste mit Kardan. Zum opulenten Luxustourer wurde die Gold Wing erst mit der zweiten Generation ab 1980. Seitdem wurden die Modellzyklen und Ausstattungslisten länger, der Hubraum größer, aus dem Vierzylinder-Boxer wurde ein sensationeller Sechszylinderboxer. Anlässlich des 50-jährigen Jubiläums spricht MOTORRAD-Podcaster und Reise-Redakteur Ferdinand Heinrich-Steige mit MOTORRAD-Autor und Gold Wing-Experte Thomas Schmieder, der mit den Luxustourern bereits viele Kilometer erlebt hat und auch die sehr aktive Gemeinschaft kennt.

Founder, CEO, and president of EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute Brandon Edwin Chrostowski is renowned for changing culinary and hospitality training—in and out of the nation's prisons—while preserving French cooking traditions. His mission-driven effort to train and staff former prison inmates at his flagship French restaurant and nonprofit has created a national model for re-entry and an educational pipeline for formerly incarcerated to learn the discipline and skill of fine dining.Under Chrostowski's leadership, the EDWINS program boasts an extraordinary one percent recidivism rate, a testament to the efficacy of its approach. More than a CEO, Chrostowski is a catalyst for change, providing over one hundred formerly incarcerated adults with free culinary and hospitality arts training each year. Since its inception in 2007, the program has evolved into a multifaceted initiative, including Edwins Too—a culinary incubator and community kitchen; EDWINS Butcher Shop and Bakery and Diner; a Second Chance Life Skills Center with housing and wraparound services; EDWINS Family Center, a nonprofit offering free daycare to Institute students during class hours; on-site programs at Grafton Correctional Institute and Cuyahoga County Juvenile Detention Center; and a groundbreaking virtual curriculum reaching over 400,000 inmates in prisons across the country.A culinary virtuoso, Chrostowski's journey began with classical training as a chef and sommelier. He honed his skills at distinguished fine dining establishments in Paris, New York, and Chicago, including Lucas Carton, Chanterelle, Picholine, Le Cirque, and Charlie Trotter's. His culinary prowess has been celebrated with numerous accolades, including being a 2022 James Beard Award Semifinalist and a 2023 James Beard Finalist. Recognition also extends to the 2023 Jim Brown Changemaker Award, IFMA's 2020 Silver Plate, CNN's 2016 Heroes, and the prestigious Crain's “40 under 40” Awards.A proud alum of CIA, Chrostowski holds an associate degree in culinary arts and a bachelor's degree in business and Restaurant Management. He resides in Cleveland with his wife Catana and their children, Leo, Lilly, Lynx, and Lander.A Quote From This Episode"It's not like you come into a kitchen, and they say, 'Listen, this is how you're going to figure it out,' they just give you a task and you gotta figure it out."Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeFilm: Knife SkillsTV: CBS This Morning CNN HeroAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals interested in studying, practicing, and teaching leadership.
