I am starting a new chapter in my life as an entrepreneur, taking my mobile app development side business to full time starting February of next year. This journey started to take shape months ago and will be quite a chellange during these economically chellanging times. But that is also the reason why I wanted to make this the theme of the new season. I was tired of just doing a tech news show, as specially since that was never my goal. Doing this new season, again with live video streams, once a month will hopefully inspire some of you to take the step into entrepreneurship no matter the situation around you. In addition I want to document the journey for myself. Down the road we might have other people join the show and we can have some discussions. However feel free to post your own questions and comments either here in the comments or on the videos. I will try to get back to every one of them. As the title says, stream will be on Sonday 8 pm CET and the recording will be available via Spreaker and your favorite podcast apps starting Monday 8 pm CET. I hope to see you on stream! – Twitch – Youtube  

The past couple of months were full of events putting me into a totally new and unexpected situation in life. I feel this is the perfect opportunity to bring back the podcast in a new format since I felt that doeing the tech news show was not really what I invisioned the podcast to be and the initial format did not really take off. I will not spoil the journey I am embarking on at this point. I plan on having monthly episodes, probably releasing on the 3rd weekend of each month. It will remain a video podcast, I have not decided if it will be a live show again. Let me know if you would be interested in it being a live show again. Therefore I’ll update you once we get closer to the release of the first new Episode!

HI everyone, it has been silent over hear for a while. August was busy throughout the work weeks and the weekends and now in September I basically played catch up. Still I have not been able to resume a regular schedule neither for the Podcast nor for my Beat Saber streams. I plan on bringing the Podcast back, but I am working on a new format, that is hopefully more interesting and not just another news show. It might be that I do some Youtube videos in the meantime. Looking forward to great new content, so stay tuned 😉
