In dieser Episode hör ich direkt hinter die Kulissen von Mareike’s erfolgreichem Label NKM. Eigentlich hatte sie für sich selbst eine Karriere in der Beautyabteilung der Vogue vorausgesehen gehabt, doch da hat ihr ihr treues “NKM Dorf” einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht. In ihrer Jugend hatte sie immer wieder mit Hautproblemen zu kämpfen und nachdem nichts Herkömmliches Wirkung zeigte, begann sie, sich für natürliche Behandlungsmethoden zu interessieren. Genauer gesagt für's "Selbstrühren" und dem Prinzip der Phytotherapie. Hört rein in unsere Unterhaltung über ein bisschen Hautprobleme, ein bisschen Business und natürlich über Mareike, dem nordischen Kraftbündel, das das “Selbstrühren” in einen angemessenen Zeitgeist übersetzt.Links zu Naturkosmetik München:NKM Atelier@naturkosmetikmuenchen

In this episode we try very hard to not talk about the ongoing pandemic and our coping mechanisms but focus on what we love to talk about the most, which is ….. knitting, of course. I could listen to her all day talking about what she loves about the 60s and 70s and fashion history. She not only talks designers like Rudi Gernreich, Betsy Johnson and Elsa Schiaparelli but also highlights the liberation that knit fabrics meant for the woman’s body. Also, if you still don’t know the difference about crochet and knit - please listen to this episode and educate yourself! You should equally tune in if you want to hear Dani’s tips on how to find out what vintage era you are, how to shop vintage items, the dynamics she struggled with working for big brands and why you should watch all ten seasons of Mad Men.

Tanisha Townsend is a wine expert from Chicago and living and teaching in Paris. She hosts wine tours and speaks regularly to her audience on the Wine School Dropout podcast. She started her journey at a vineyard, where the experience of a cherry-like taste of the wine lead her to booking a course to learn more about the world of grapes. In the episode Tanisha taught me how to brush up on my wine jargon, walked me through the aroma wheel, the parcour of her career and why you should keep an open mind if a certain Merlot wasn’t to your liking.

In this episode Daniel shares his trajectory, who he admires, where to find the best set accessories and of course I got to pick his brain about how he found his niche and what he loves the most about the process.

In this episode Marsha opens up about her journey from being the “shy, new kid” in middle school to being the “star girl” in her early twenties entering the hospitality industry. Marz also let’s us in on the not so rosy times in her life, building her fanbase, the goals she has for women in music, the way you should be mindful with social media rabbit holes and what she says to herself in the mirror every morning.

Jeffrey shares his perspective on the psychology of business meetings, the social aspect of closing a deal and how persistence can result in flattery. With a background in Advertising, Jeffrey never planned on doing sales for a baseball team nor fundraising for a non-profit organisation, but as life took its course, for him it combines the social aspect with the business world resulting in pleasant experiences for all parties involved.

For this episode I sat down with one of Austria’s most trailblazing and productive women on the design sphere. I’m talking about Laura Karasinski, who owns the namesake agency in the heart of Vienna’s 8th district. Together with her team she produces all things visual, advertising, print and interior design for clients worldwide.
