Now and then we invite not only entrepreneurs from the hospitality industry but also specialist in psychology, marketing, personal and business development to reflect on what we learned.

Beyond his corporate and sports-related activities, he is involved in personal development and coaching, which focuses on personal growth, professional development, and sports. He recently published the book “Mutige Lebensreisen” (https://www.amazon.de/Mutige-Lebensreisen-verwirklichten-Erfahrungen-verändern/dp/300078750X?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=APLBV1JHFAE4S) where he interviews interesting individuals out of sport, business and society.

The main learnings from this conversation are:

• Just do something. See an opportunity and take it
• All comes down to people and communications
• Mental strength is key
• Get your kids to do teams sports – you learn to win and lose
• You will never be your old self. Forget about the past but don’t ignore
• You have to love yourself to be loved
