    Asül für Alle

    Einer der wenigen Schweizer, die auch ohne Schweizer Akzent sprechen können. Andreas Thiel hat Berliner Wurzeln und erinnert frisurtechnisch durchaus an den Berliner Sascha Lobo, der zwar kein Kabarettist und Satiriker ist, aber auch sehr politisch. Einer der wenigen deutschsprachigen «Comedians», die nicht peinlich sind.

    In diesem Auftritt beim Bayerischen Rundfunk spricht er über die Hauptsache, dass jeder studieren kann und wie man als Schweizer in Deutschland Teilzeitflüchtling mit Shopping Asyl wird.

    Asül für Alle!

  • Breaking Down Walls

    Breaking Down Walls

    Here’s for some really powerful story telling. While looking at Human Made’s WordPress case studies I stumbled upon a video developed for Airbnb to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall last year in November.

    In May 2012, an Airbnb guest, Cathrine, told them a powerful story of a trip she took to Berlin with her father, Jörg, a Berlin Wall guard at the height of the Cold War. She wanted to show him the vibrant city Berlin had become, but it was the man they met at their Airbnb apartment that changed everything for Jörg.

    This is by the way my first post published via the WordPress desktop client aka Calypso. Feels slick.

  • 5 Helpful Morning Rituals

    5 Helpful Morning Rituals

    You might know one of his bestselling books, The 4-Hour Workweek, released in 2009, but you probably haven’t heard of Tim Ferris› podcast which was started in 2014 and already released over 100 episodes. He usually interviews people who are best at what they’re doing. He deconstructs world-class performers from eclectic areas (investing, sports, business, art, etc.) to extract the tactics and tricks you can use.

    4-Hour Workweek

    Prior guests include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ed Catmull (President of Pixar), Tony Robbins, Peter Thiel (billionaire investor), Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park), Neil Strauss (7x NYT bestselling author), Josh Waitzkin (chess prodigy), and many, many more.

    In one of the recent episodes he himself answers the question about 5 morning rituals that help him win the day. Although he not always completes all 5 of them he is convinced that if he ticks off at least 3 of them, the likelihood of that day being a home run is infinitely greater.

    1. Make your bed
    2. Meditate
    3. Hang or decompress
    4. Tea
    5. Journal

    If you want to learn about the rituals in more detail, listen to the podcast episode.
