Mens Room Question: What is the story you're always asked to retell?

Hey friends, Chase here Jeff Boyd is on the show today, and this conversation is about building the kind of life and business that does not always look like the predominant story on the internet. Jeff is the founder and chairman of MTE, More Than Energy, which he describes in this episode as "an energy that loves you back." Before that, he spent 15 years as the President and co-owner of Luggage Free, where he expanded global operations to more than 100 countries before selling the company in 2019. What I loved about this conversation is that it is not the usual story about chasing the next app, raising venture capital, or building something because the internet told you that is what entrepreneurship is supposed to look like. This is a conversation about physical products, unsexy businesses, competition, fatherhood, leadership, and what it means to keep choosing hard things on purpose. Jeff says it plainly right at the top: "That's why I tell my team all the time. They just look at me and I'm like, if it were easy, everybody be doing it. We got to do what nobody else is willing to do, and then you're going to be happy we did it. And I tell them that I'm like, oh yeah, this is hard. And I'm excited about it. Because now that's an opportunity for us because we'll outwork anybody." That idea is at the center of this episode. We talk about the grind of building something real, why curiosity matters more than credentials, what sports teach us about business, why leadership is not about personality type, and how the best things in life often come down to loving the process instead of obsessing over the outcome. Why This Conversation Matters Right Now Most of the entrepreneurs and creators we see online are building in public, building digitally, or building something that looks like the current version of what the internet rewards. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is not the only path. In this episode, I say: "A lot of folks I know in the audience feel a pressure to make their businesses walk and talk and look like the creators and the entrepreneurs that see out there in the world, which is one of the reasons I want to start celebrating some people who are building really successful lives, careers." That is why I wanted to have Jeff on the show. He built and sold a shipping business. Now he is building a physical product in the health and wellness space. He is not chasing the obvious thing. He is not trying to make his work look like everyone else's. Jeff's path is a reminder that there is a whole world of entrepreneurship outside the digital-first story. There are products, services, local businesses, physical goods, retail shelves, manufacturing problems, customer conversations, teams, families, and real-life constraints. And sometimes, that is where the opportunity is. What We Explore in This Episode Jeff's early business story and how he became employee one at a shipping company before helping grow it around the world. The "answer is yes" mindset that helped Luggage Free expand into all 50 states and more than 100 countries. Why physical products are different and what changes when you are building with atoms instead of bits. The origin of MTE and why Jeff wanted to build "an energy that loves you back." What it means to enjoy the grind when the work is hard, relentless, and full of problems you do not know how to solve yet. Fatherhood, presence, and time and why Jeff says he is "so all in now" with his family. Competition, sport, and business and why Jeff still trains and competes as a long jumper. Leadership and authenticity and why Jeff says people do what you do, not what you say you do. Second and third career arcs and what Jeff has learned about zooming out, building teams, and letting people play the right roles. The Core Idea: If It Were Easy, Everybody Would Be Doing It One of the strongest threads in this conversation is Jeff's relationship with hard things. He is not pretending the grind is glamorous. He says straight up that building physical products, selling through retail, and getting people to care is hard. But he also sees that difficulty as part of the opportunity. "You know I some of this stuff I think the harder it is, the better for me. For sure. You want, you want to bear. People are going to be like, oh, I don't have the guts to do this. That's right. Yeah. And then the ones that do, that's a that's another level, right? That's another fence they cleared. But then it's like, okay, well now you did that. But are you ready to grind now because it's a grind." That is the mindset that shows up again and again in the episode. The point is not that everything should be hard for the sake of being hard. The point is that difficulty can reveal where other people quit. That is true in sport. It is true in business. It is true in building a family, a product, a brand, a company, or a body of work. The Answer Is Yes Jeff's first major business story starts with Luggage Free. At the beginning, the company was taking orders by hand and trying to get the phone to ring. Then the first real call came in. "Anyway, so we're trying to get the phone to ring so we can handwrite our orders. And the first call, the guy, you know, we're all. It was kind of like a movie. We're all like, you know, hushed around him, waiting, you know, hearing him, he's like, oh, I'm sorry, we don't serve. North Carolina hangs up. And we were like, oh, dude, Gary, of course you serve anybody." That moment became a kind of operating philosophy: "And I was like, from now on, the answer is yes. Like whatever anybody says answered yes. And with that really that charge? Yeah. We were quickly in all 50 states and we grew to 109 countries throughout the world. And it was always in response to a call." There is something powerful in that. Not because saying yes is always the right answer, but because early in a business, the market often tells you where to go before your strategy deck does. Someone calls. Someone asks. Someone has a need. Someone gives you a clue. The question is whether you are willing to follow it. Building Something You Can Hold After selling Luggage Free in 2019, Jeff had time and space. He was not rushing into the next thing. He was riding his bike, playing tennis, spending time with his family, and looking for what might call him next. What called him was not another service business. It was a physical product. "And so in 19 sold it 2019, 2019 were operating all over the world, offices all over and sold it and was kind of free to at that point, I was like, all right, I want to like what I loved about it was the challenge and the fun and the competition. Right. You're building, you're competing." He continues: "But I what I yearn for was a product and something that was tangible I could actually hold right and do a different scent or a different flavor or different size or different color, whatever." That desire eventually became MTE. Jeff had been trying to solve his own energy problem, stacking supplements, chasing better mood, better energy, and better performance, until he realized the pieces were not working together. "And I realized I was like, Frankenstein. I mean, like, we were talking about it last night, like piling all these supplements together to try and make yourself feel better, even even like ten supplements, which doesn't sound that bad. Shit. Crazy. Yeah. We'll be like a suitcase full when you're traveling, you know?" MTE came from that search. "So we built it's an energy that loves you back. Right. Like an energy drink that loves you back. Yeah. Right. So you get prebiotics and caffeine free blend. That's better than caffeine. Yeah. So now you're getting energy that feels great that you can trust. Sure. And no jitters, no crash, no impact on sleep." Curiosity, Thrill, and Figuring It Out One of my favorite parts of this conversation is when Jeff talks about starting something in a category where he did not have obvious experience. He had not built beverage brands before. He was not a chemist. He was stepping into a new world. His answer was not fear. It was curiosity. "Yeah. Like, I like hair on fire. Like, let's go figure this out." Then he gets to the larger point: "I like it's curiosity and thrill. And that's what it boils down to. Right. Like, I think you you like that's what entrepreneurship is. It's solving problems and and finding solutions to things. Even if you've done it 20 times, they're going to be solutions that need to be had in the evolving world and landscape in which we operate." That is entrepreneurship in a sentence. You do not get to know everything before you begin. You do not get a guarantee that the answer is obvious. You get a problem, a question, a changing landscape, and the chance to learn fast enough to keep moving. Jeff says: "But that's why I love it. I think if, if we boil it down, I love the curiosity that that is necessary to just because you're like, I don't know the answer to that. Instead of that overwhelming me or said of panicking, I'm going to go learn because I'm sure there's more than one answer. We'll figure out. Maybe we'll triangulate, figure it out. Yeah, get to a solution. And and then we'll know for next time. And then we'll be able to iterate and make it better. And on it go. Like I love that process." You Have to Love the Process The conversation moves from business into fatherhood, sport, and the shape of a life. Again and again, we come back to process. Jeff says it directly: "Yeah. You have to love the process, right? And I think that's true of anything, particularly in stuff like that where it's easy to focus on the outcome. I'm lose 20 pounds, I'm going to whatever it is, I'm going to get this promotion, you know. And then I think what happens is then the outcome just naturally happens because you love the process." This applies to entrepreneurship, training, parenting, leadership, and creative work. If you are only trying to reach the finish line, you miss the life that happens while you are getting there. Jeff connects that idea to family: "Like the time is fleeting, right? For whatever it is. And you really have to enjoy the journey because, you know, like, I look at things like, if it's a line that's made up of just millions and millions of dots, and those dots would represent any given period in time." He continues: "Right. College graduation, high school graduation. They get married like whenever it is. You've decided that they've you've set them free. The that point will just be one of hundreds of millions of points that made up the line. Yeah. So, you know, looking and it's kind of the same with like a business, right. Like if you're just all you want to do is sell the business, you're just focused on that. You're going to miss all these hundreds of millions of, of experiences or anything else, right?" Competition Brings Out the Best in People Jeff is still a competitive long jumper. He talks about master's track, world records, regional meets, and the way competition gives him purpose. That competitive lens shows up in business too. "I love it, I love it, I think I think I love to compete. Like I was just telling my buddy the other day, like, I don't like when he's fine, but I hate losing, which is weird, right?" Then he goes deeper: "So I just love the competition, and I love the process that goes into it. And having, you know, so being able to have a purpose and go in and compete and I love competing. Sure. I just think it brings out the best in people." For Jeff, sport is one vehicle for competition, but not the only one. Business is another. "Sports is just a vehicle to compete. Right. So is it the competition like because it brings the best out in you or why do you like it. Yeah, I think I think just that it's the vehicle for sports. Sure. So I like it as an umbrella. I love it in the business." He talks about the shipping company in that same frame: "Like even the shipping company I had towards the end, I was I didn't have a lot of passion for it, but I had, you know, a very competitive space and there were upstarts in the industry and you're like, all right, well, these guys are trying to take my lunch money, you know, like, right. Not on my watch." Leadership Means Leading From the Front When I ask Jeff what is required of leadership, his answer is simple: "Got to lead from the front, I think. Right. I mean, yeah, it's people do what you do, not what you say you do." He adds: "I think you need to be genuine too. Yeah. Right. Like, if you're, if you're genuine and authentic, I think people are more prone to get in line and buy in and say, I'm, I'm, I'm subscribing to what? You're where you're leading me again." That is an important distinction. Leadership is not just having followers. It is not having the loudest voice in the room. It is not projecting certainty at all times. It is what people see you do. It is the consistency between your words and your behavior. It is whether the people around you believe that the thing you are asking from them is something you are willing to model yourself. Nobody Does It Alone Later in the conversation, Jeff talks about what he has learned in this newer chapter of his life and career. One lesson is the importance of zooming out. Another is the myth of the lone genius. "And then the other thing I've learned is you like, nobody does it alone. Right? I mean, that's like total myth. Yeah. The myth of the lone wolf. The lone genius. Yeah. It's, you know, you need a you need a whole group of people that are going to bring ideas that you would have never thought of. They're going to execute your ideas that you do have." He continues: "Right? They're going to they're just they're going to champion for you in ways that you never even knew needed to be championed. You know, I mean, all the things you need a you need a great team and you need to find." That is a hard-earned lesson for builders. The bigger the thing you are trying to create, the less likely it is that you can muscle your way through alone. You need ideas you would not have had. You need people who can execute. You need people who can challenge you, support you, and help you see what you are missing. Role Players Matter One of the most useful leadership ideas in this episode is Jeff's realization that not everyone on a team has to be an all-star. "And the other thing I talk about all the time is it's you have to resist the urge to demand that everybody in your team is an all star, right? Like even the greatest sports teams have role players, and they have guys that sit on the bench to get the starters ready for the playoffs." He explains what he learned: "But they don't, you know, they're they're effectively benchwarmers. But they have a role in the team. And you have a trainer and you have a coach and assistant coaches and all. You know, it's it's the whole organization." That perspective changed the way he thought about people and teams: "That was difficult for me earlier on. I, I just felt like everybody had to be an all star. If you're not at all star, you're you're like, I'm failing you or you're failing me. And either way, you got to go. You know, we're going to get somebody else in here." The lesson is not to lower standards. It is to understand roles. Great teams are not built by pretending everyone is supposed to contribute in the same way.

What is the "non sexy" opportunity I might be overlooking because it does not look cool online? Where could "the answer is yes" help me learn faster? What hard thing am I avoiding that might actually be the opportunity? What problem do I not know how to solve yet, and who could help me triangulate an answer? Where am I too focused on the outcome and missing the process? What part of my life is made up of "millions and millions of dots" that I need to appreciate now? Am I leading from the front, or only telling people what I value? Where am I expecting everyone to be an all-star instead of building a real team? What would it look like to zoom out and find the North Star again? A Simple Practice for Builders Here's something practical you can do this week. Pick one hard thing in your work or life that you have been treating as a sign to stop. It might be a distribution problem, a hiring problem, a creative problem, a sales problem, a health problem, or a relationship problem. Then sit with Jeff's line: "Oh yeah, this is hard. And I'm excited about it." Do not use that line to pretend the hard thing is easy. Use it to reframe what the hard thing might be showing you. It may be pointing to the part where other people quit. It may be pointing to the skill you need to build next. It may be pointing to the person you need to ask, the rep you need to take, or the process you need to fall in love with again. The work is not always to find an easier road. Sometimes the work is to become the kind of person who can walk the hard one with more purpose. Final Thought This episode is a reminder that business is not only about scale, speed, funding, or hype. It is also about curiosity, grit, family, physical products, role players, clean energy, long jumps, retail shelves, hard conversations, and the willingness to keep learning when you do not already know the answer. Jeff's story is not about avoiding the grind. It is about choosing the right grind. It is about building something thoughtfully, leading from the front, and staying close enough to the process that the outcome has room to take care of itself. Until next time: do what nobody else is willing to do, and love the process enough to keep going.

The Journey of a C10 Blazer Enthusiast: From Passion to Performance In the world of custom cars, few stories resonate as deeply as that of David Carroll and his C10 Blazer. For many, cars are more than just a mode of transportation; they are a passion, a hobby, and often, a way of life. In this blog post, we will dive into David's journey, exploring how his early experiences with cars shaped his love for square bodies and led him to create a pro-touring autocross machine. From Childhood Dreams to Car Culture David's fascination with vehicles began at a young age, influenced heavily by his father, a boat racer in the late sixties and early seventies. Growing up in Morgan Hill, California, David spent countless hours in the garage with his dad, learning the ins and outs of engines and mechanics. "I grew up with go-karts and dirt bikes... I was outside in the dirt behind a wheel somewhere," he recalls, establishing a foundation for his lifelong love of speed and engineering. As a child, he was captivated by older V8 engines, particularly flatheads, thanks to his neighbor Mike Sanders, a retired mechanic. David's early exposure to classic cars, including a family owned C30 dually, helped solidify his passion. His fond memories of driving a square body to school, where he was known for giving rides to friends, further deepened his connection to these iconic vehicles. The Blazer: A Dream Project David's journey took a significant turn when he discovered a C10 Blazer that he envisioned transforming into a high-performance vehicle. But before that transformation could begin, he had to navigate his sentimental attachment to the vehicles of his past. "There's a truck when I was growing up that my dad had at the boat shop. I want to find that truck," David shared, showcasing the emotional ties that often accompany classic car enthusiasts. After purchasing the C10 Blazer in July 2020, David's goal was clear: to convert it into a versatile machine that could handle everything from family outings to racing events. He aimed for a balance between a beach cruiser and a performance vehicle. "I wanted it to be user-friendly, super versatile," he explained, highlighting the practicality that often drives car modifications. The Transformation ProcessThe initial steps of transforming his Blazer involved a thorough restoration. David decided to remove the camo paint job that covered the original okra white color, revealing the vehicle's true identity. However, as he delved into the project, he discovered more rust than anticipated, leading to a full repaint and replacement of body panels. Every decision David made was rooted in his desire to honor the vehicle's history while enhancing its performance. Working closely with experts at No Limit Engineering, David opted for a combination of bolt-ons and a K5 four-wheel drive frame, ensuring that his Blazer could not only look stunning but also perform exceptionally. His dedication paid off when he debuted the vehicle at a local show, despite not having completed all the upgrades. This event marked a pivotal moment in his journey, igniting a snowball effect of passion and determination. The Thrill of Autocross One of the most thrilling aspects of David's journey has been participating in autocross events. The thrill of taking his modified Blazer around the track, pushing its limits, and experiencing the performance firsthand has become a key part of his automotive journey. "I wanted to be able to race with it... I want to go to power tour, I want to go to LS Fest," he stated, underscoring his commitment to integrating racing into his automotive lifestyle. David's story is not just about the cars; it's about the community and connections he has forged along the way. From fellow enthusiasts to industry experts, these relationships have influenced his journey and driven him to continue pushing the boundaries of what his Blazer can achieve. Key Takeaways for Automotive Enthusiasts 1. **Follow Your Passion:** David's journey underscores the importance of pursuing what you love. Whether it's restoring a classic car or building a performance machine, passion fuels creativity and success. 2. **Embrace the Process:** Restoration projects can uncover unexpected challenges, but embracing the journey is part of the fun. Each step brings new learning opportunities, enriching your experience. 3. **Community Matters:** Engaging with fellow enthusiasts and industry experts can provide support, knowledge, and inspiration. Share your journey and learn from others who share your passion. 4. **Be Versatile:** Whether you're building a family-friendly vehicle or a high-performance racer, versatility is key. Consider how your vehicle will be used and adapt accordingly. Conclusion David Carroll's journey with his C10 Blazer is a testament to the passion and dedication of automotive enthusiasts. From early childhood memories to racing aspirations, his story inspires anyone interested in cars. As he continues to refine and enhance his vehicle, David serves as a reminder that the journey is just as important as the destination.

England beat Croatia 4-2 in Dallas in a match that had everything. Harry Kane scored twice, drawing level with Gary Lineker as England's top World Cup scorer with 10 goals, but Croatia equalised twice in a wild first half. Jude Bellingham gave England the lead two minutes after the break, and Marcus Rashford finished it. England were exciting and vulnerable in equal measure, and they now face Ghana, who beat Panama 1-0 with a 95th-minute winner. Portugal were held 1-1 by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, who earned their first ever World Cup point. Joao Neves gave Portugal an early lead but they never controlled the match, and DRC equalised before half time. Ronaldo played the full game but was peripheral, missing two chances late on. Questions are already being asked about Portugal's attacking structure. Colombia beat Uzbekistan 3-1 in a disciplined if unspectacular performance, with Luis Diaz scoring on the counter attack to make the difference. Tonight, Qatar take on co-hosts Canada at 2am UAE time in Vancouver. Group B is completely level after the opening round, and a win for either side would transform the picture. Mexico and South Korea, both winners in round one, meet at 5am in what could already be a decisive Group A fixture.

Welcome to The Thrill of The Hill. Today we're talking about one of Scotland's most iconic groups of farmland birds – our waders. Species such as lapwing, curlew, redshank and snipe have long been part of the Scottish farming landscape. Their calls and displays are synonymous with springtime on farms and crofts across the country, yet many of these species have experienced significant declines over recent decades.

What does it take to introduce an entirely new sport to a community? In this episode of Harnessing Your Wealth, Billy and Shaun Peterson sit down with Pedro Bautista, founder of SLC Padel Club, to discuss the rise of padel and his journey bringing Utah’s first dedicated padel club to life. Pedro shares how he identified an opportunity in Utah, the key differences between padel and pickleball, and why the sport is exploding in popularity around the world. He also explains how grassroots community-building—from school demonstrations to local partnerships—has helped grow awareness of the sport and create a thriving player community. Whether you’re interested in entrepreneurship, emerging sports, or building something from the ground up, this conversation offers valuable insights into spotting opportunities, taking calculated risks, and turning a vision into reality. Topics Covered: What is padel and how does it differ from pickleball? Why Utah was the perfect place for SLC Padel Club The challenges of launching a new sport in a new market Building community through schools, events, and local outreach The future of padel in Utah and the United States Connect with Pedro Bautista and SLC Padel: Instagram SLC Padel Facebook SLC Padel Website SLC Padel TikTok SLC Padel About our Guest:  Pedro Bautista is the founder of SLC Padel Club, Utah’s first dedicated indoor padel facility. Originally from Venezuela, Pedro moved to the United States to attend college in Florida before making Utah his home more than five years ago. A trained biomedical engineer, he built his professional career in medical manufacturing while maintaining a passion for fitness and athletics. Although his athletic background includes jiu-jitsu, boxing, CrossFit, running, and swimming, Pedro was introduced to padel through family and frequent visits to Miami and Europe, where the sport has experienced tremendous growth. Recognizing padel’s global popularity and the lack of dedicated facilities in Utah, he saw an opportunity to bring the sport to a new audience. Driven by a vision to create more than just a sports venue, Pedro founded SLC Padel Club as a community hub where people can connect, compete, and build lasting relationships through one of the world’s fastest-growing racket sports. About Padel:  Often described as a mix of tennis and squash. It is played in an enclosed box made of glass and wire mesh, allowing you to bounce balls off the walls. It uses a solid, stringless paddle with holes and a low-pressure tennis ball, and follows traditional tennis scoring.

The first ever Coaster Radio panel discussion is here — and it did not disappoint. Joining Mike and EB are three guests who come at the theme park world from completely different angles. Jessica Gardner — the Theme Parkette — is a Los Angeles-based travel content creator, actress with over 50 on-screen credits, USA Today 10Best theme park expert, and host of the ACE official podcast Ride With Us. Josh Reichlin of Made to Thrill spent years frustrated by theme park gift shops and instead of just complaining about it built an entire brand whose retro-style artwork now hangs in Six Flags parks, Holiday World, and an unreasonable number of other places. And Tom from Louisville — Coaster Radio listener since Season 1, game show contestant, Reel Design Contest semifinalist, cartoon lobster, and the man whose voice you hear every week saying "quick hits." Topics covered this week: Is Werewolf Gorge at Six Flags Fiesta Texas the last dive coaster we'll ever get genuinely excited about? Are we happy about Enchanted Parks and what should they call their skip the line program? Knoebels turns 100 this year and the panel has feelings. Michigan's Adventure turns 70 and nobody's sure what happens next. Jessica rode the new Phantom Theater at Kings Island three times in one day — with Meta glasses. Josh got a Voyage trimless night ride at Holiday World and called it life changing. Jessica's Voyage trimless night ride at the all-women's ride made her cry. The case for and against Epic Universe being the best theme park ever built — and why Tom from Louisville says Disneyland and he's not budging. Then the big question — do people like the ones on this panel actually make the theme park experience better? Influencers, podcasters, merchandise creators — do they add wonder or spoil it? The answers are honest, funny, and occasionally surprising. Plus Jessica reveals the most unexpected piece of theme park memorabilia in the history of the show. Tom brings the Trader Sam's mug. Josh explains what the Demon poster at Great America means to him personally. And somewhere in there, EB decides he needs to watch the Defunctland Fast Lane episode immediately.

John Morgan and Cold Coffee are back together in Vegas ahead of a solid event at the Apex, but just like everyone else, much of their attention is already on UFC Freedom 250 and a historic event at the White House.

In der allerersten Folge meines neuen Podcasts „Marinićs Freiheit“, einem Spin-off von „Freiheit deluxe“, geht es um Geschichten und Stories. Solche, die wir in den Nachrichten lesen, die uns die Politik erzählt über uns und unsere Zukunft. Erzählungen, denen wir auch schon mal verfallen, weil sie uns tagelang beschäftigen, vielleicht auch empören. Stories sind überall - sie beeinflussen, wie wir unsere Welt und Gegenwart überhaupt wahrnehmen. Wir reden zwar immer von Fakten, doch die Art, wie wir unsere Wirklichkeit verstehen, bestimmen vor allem Geschichten. Aber wieso sind es ausgerechnet Stories vom Untergang, die so verfangen? Es gibt gerade einen gewissen Thrill vom Untergang der Demokratie zu reden, so wie Söder nach den letzten Wahlen von der „letzten Patrone der Demokratie“ sprach. Warum sind diese Stories medial so beliebt, obwohl sie einen so runterziehen? Weil sie stimmen oder weil wir eine Angstlust haben? Manchmal denke ich, es ist einfach viel Arbeit, diesen Spins etwas entgegenzuhalten. Man isst dann eben auch den Shit-Burger, obwohl man weiß, er macht dick und ist ungesund. Dazu habe ich mir Khesrau Behroz eingeladen, einen der besten und erfolgreichsten Podcaster also auch Storyteller Deutschlands; für mich der „Steven Spielberg der deutschen Podcastwelt“. Khesrau und ich lieben beide das Schreiben. Wir erzählen beide gerne Geschichten. Es ist unser Handwerk. Es ist manchmal ärgerlich, zuzusehen, wie dieses Handwerk missbraucht wird, um Angst zu machen, Menschen zu manipulieren oder eigene Machtinteressen durchzusetzen. Und wo sind die guten Geschichten und wer erzählt die Erfolgsstories? Shownotes: Bücher, Studien, Texte, die ich erwähne: -Buch: Hans Rosling: „Factfulness: Wie wir lernen, die Welt so zu sehen, wie sie wirklich ist“ Ullstein Verlag, 2017 -Studie zur Nachrichtennutzung: Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2025 https://leibniz-hbi.de/hbi-publications/reuters-report-2025-ergebnisse-fuer-deutschland/ -Artikel: Ileana Grabitz „Wir jammern uns an die Spitze“:https://www.zeit.de/2026/20/deutschland-abstieg-pessimismus-wirtschaft-reformen (Paywall, Z+) MARINIĆs FREIHEIT mit Jagoda Marinić ist ein Podcast von hr, Radio Bremen, SWR und WDR.
