February was officially the co-founder-hunting month! By which I mean, it was during this month that I explored this topic on my podcast. I shared some advice, gathered from my personal startup experience, on which criteria must be met when choosing a co-founder. For instance: you shouldn't pick a family member, and you should pick someone who has worked in a crappy student job. Want to know why? Then click play!

Emigrating is always a daunting task - but especially if you're an entrepreneur! This month I had a chat with Baiba Soika, CEO of ExportScene and several other companies. Originally from Latvia, Baiba emigrated to Germany and successfully established herself there as a young, up-and-coming entrepreneur. Have a listen to find out how she did it, and how you might do it as well!

Personal finance is a touchy subject if there ever was one. But the fact of the matter is, everyone needs to keep their head in the game if they're gonna build a comfortable life for themselves in the future - and this is especially the case for young entrepreneurs, who constantly put their own money on the line. Listen in for a complete, Swiss-focused guide on how to manage your finances in a way that is smart, easy and balanced.

This month I interviewed Russ Yelton, president and CEO of the Northern Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology! From kindergarten to the business world, Russ has always been a true entrepreneur at heart. I got to hear him speak about his favorite mistakes, his biggest successes and the general entrepreneurial wisdom he's gathered through the years!

Come the month of December, I thought I should tackle the issue of setting and tracking goals - especially considering that my coworkers and I have been so hugely helped by this system called EOS! It stands for "Entrepreneurial Operating System" and it has been a life-saver. In this month's podcast, I give you a detailed and easy-to-follow explanation of exactly how this system can be adapted to any startup - and help you reach your goals at a steady but effective pace!

On the month of November, I interviewed Morteza Ghorbani Eftekhar, founder of PurCity, a Danish-based company aiming to improve quality of life by purifying air and water in urban centers. Click to listen to Morteza's incredible background story, as well as to his experiences in the startup world!

This month, my focus was on company structure. Everyone basically knows that no matter how great your business idea is, no matter how many investors you've got, if you don't have the right people on your team, your startup will most likely fail. But what type of person really is "the right person"? And what kind of roles are essential in every company? More importantly, perhaps - what values should a startup team promote? All this in and more on my podcast!

I got to know Stefano through the YTILI program in summer 2018. He graduated in Management and is madly in love with his job. Stefano is really passionate about numbers, photography, cooking and poetry. And as he tells me in our quick chat his objective is to find and defend ikigai, the Japanese word for “a reason for being”. He is a remarkable person and I had the pleasure to meet him for a quick chat.

I got to know Oana through the YTILI program in summer 2018. She is a real kick-ass entrepreneur and describes herself as a community builder with a focus on tech and innovation. Oana has been developing communities of Romanian entrepreneurs and tech professionals worldwide and is connecting them into a global network called Romanian IT. She enabled the creation of a culture based on peer to peer learning and collaboration that aims to generate personal and professional growth opportunities for the members.
