                <![CDATA[In today’s episode, my guest is John Koenig from Rhode Island, who is an experienced past-life regression hypnotist, an instructor of hypnotists and the author of “MY AUTOBIOGRAPHIES: Past Life Exploration for Personal and Spiritual Growth” amongst other books. Very recently, he created – with AI’s help – the world’s first oracle system to reflect the collective wisdom of humanity.

In our conversation, you will learn about the benefits of past life exploration, about how it helps to gain an ever broadening perspective on life, especially for those who are born into adversity. What are we here to learn in this lifetime? John says, once we can see and ask from that perspective, we understand that we actually CHOOSE all the good and bad that occurs to us. For that we learn and help others learn about what our task is in this lifetime. Most of all, John shares, past life explorations remove the fear of death. 

I found it fascinating to learn from John about how he developed what is truly a next level oracle card system: he asked Chat GPT to comb through all published human wisdom- from all philosophy,  religions, psychologists and thinkers of all kinds -  to find 64 principles that humanity has determined are essential for living a good life and for human evolution. 
He then took these 64 principles and designed an oracle card deck, that has been funded on kickstarter.

Hear for yourself about the compelling outcome and how it helps to open your mind to different perspectives on life….that’s where the magic happens, as John puts it. We’re excited to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late today, John Koenig!

                <![CDATA[This is Before It’s Too Late….I’m your host, Christiane zu Salm. Let’s learn together what matters most in life. 

We are grateful to speak with psychedelic life coach Sinclair Fleetwood in today’s episode. She is also the host of the Psychedelic Integration Podcast and an expert for helping people with the integration of plant medicine into their everyday lives.

Sinclair is sharing with us her heart wrenching wild journey from having been an addict to alcohol, sex, drugs and food in her early twenties towards her transformation into a conscious life, being in service of others and hence of the greater good. 

Daddy issues were her big theme. Over 10 years ago, her father got arrested, ended up in prison, and received 2 life sentences. Tragically, he died in prison, and Sinclair recounts how she afterwards burned his ashes at the temple of Burning Man in Nevada. This is when her path towards plant medicine began.
“After taking ayahuasca, I was able to process my anger towards my dad, really connect to it, feel it, release that space and fill it with compassion and understanding”, she states. 

We’re learning from Sinclair how plant medicine like mushrooms, ayahuasca and san pedro provide a path to wholeness and freedom. 

”We are holistic beings, but most of us go through life compartmentalized”, she says, explaining to us how we best integrate plant medicine after taking them. On our way to wholeness, it is important to start at our bodies, as they give us constant feedback about our state of mind. And only then work towards our thoughts…I loved Sinclair’s intriguing insights and wisdoms she shared in this wonderful conversation. 
We’re excited to have you as our guest today on Before It’s Too Late, Sinclair Fleetwood!

                <![CDATA[It makes me very happy to speak with Dr. Alex Wills in today’s episode. Alex Wills, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist, who has developed an innovative approach to how to deal with our emotions. He has developed the Radical Emotional Acceptance Method to help patients heal from issues ranging from past traumas to interpersonal struggles in their marriages. Just now, he has published a book with the title: “Give a F*ck, Actually: Reclaim Yourself with the 5 Steps of Radical Emotional Acceptance (January 2023, Skyhorse), offering a timely and persuasive counterargument to the runaway bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck. 

In this episode, Alex argues that there are no bad emotions – only bad reactions to powerful and often painful feelings that Radical Emotional Acceptance can teach us to process.
We are learning from him that on the flipside of every painful emotion is a desire. These painful emotions are actually supposed to hurt us as badly as they do. They are trying to get our attention and let us know the importance of a situation or relationship. 
Dr. Wills is taking us through the 5 steps of his fascinating Radical Emotional Acceptance (REA) Method and explains how practicing this method helps us to develop a better relationship with all our emotions instead of suppressing them. He compares human emotions to colors, which are just there.

Very importantly, we’re also talking about how this method can help with parenting children. I loved when Alex said:
“Imagine what a wonderful world we would have, if children learned from the very beginning naming their emotions, building emotional vocabulary and simply accept them”.

We’re excited to have you as our guest today on Before It’s Too Late, Dr. Alex Wills!]]>

                <![CDATA[We are happy to speak with D. Neil Elliott today. Neil shares with us his fascinating transformational journey, when he was a highly educated professional engineer, had a successful career,  an amazing wife and family, but things were not all what they seemed to be. Neil was in a dark place. In this episode, he is talking about how he then, quite by accident discovered a Higher Road and how he, by traveling that road, found the key to fundamentally transforming his life. 
Neil is explaining to us his scientific discoveries behind his transformation and how science works together with spiritual concepts in order to explain the truth of our existence in a factual, rational and engaging way. In particular, he is discussing consciousness within a biological framework, as consciousness is something that happens in our bodies. 

For that everyone who is interested can follow this path as well, he has written a book with the title: “A Higher Road: Cleanse Your Consciousness to Transcend the Ego and Ascend Spirituality”.”

Today, Neil’s goal is “to bring this world to another era of love and peace” by helping his clients take this Higher Road.

D. Neil Elliott, we’re excited to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late today!]]>

                <![CDATA[Before we get to introduce our today’s guest, I would like to let all my loyal listeners and steadily growing subscribers know that we’ll be taking a creative break with this podcast. Recently, I was lucky enough to get invited to co-creating an artwork, and this will require my full attention. Since such a project has always been my dream, I’m thanking you for your understanding and loyalty. Please stay subscribed – we will be back as soon as possible!  


So, in the last episode before our creative break, we’re speaking with truly amazing and wise Scottie Jeanette Madden. I was absolutely moved throughout our entire conversation, by the clarity, profoundness and urgency with which she is talking about the circumstances of her life as a transgender woman. These circumstances are existential, as transgender humans, especially black transgender humans, are being oppressed and even killed in today’s America. “There is an active push to eliminate us in this country”, Scottie says.

She is sharing with us her story, how much she suffered from having had no one to go to and no one to understand, and how hopeless she felt before she came out at about 20 years into her marriage with her wife Marcy. And how they, after Scotties transition, managed to build their love on new truthful grounds.

When I was trying to understand the reasons behind why her community is so unwanted, she says: “I can’t understand why they are so blind. I stand in front of you: I am a woman. And I don’t understand why I don’t have the agency to declare that myself”. 

Rising more and more above, Scottie has some wise thoughts around those who fight transgender humans with so much energy even though this community is so small. And then she takes my favorite perspective: the deathbed-perspective. In the end, she says, they will be confronted with their own hatefulness. Maybe then they will see. “The real cost in all of this is the cost of our own souls”, she declares.

Please welcome Scottie Jeanette Madden in this powerful conversation on Before It’s Too Late today!

                <![CDATA[In today’s episode, my guest is the artist and art teacher Kathryn Cameron. Kathryn is talking about what it took for her to pursue 
an artistic education and career, what her parents said and how she managed to make a living before she could live from selling her art. Being a teacher at the New York School of the Arts for ten years, she is explaining to us what specifically she enjoys about teaching art.
Also, Kathryn is sharing with us an existential moment that really transformed her and how she created the largest piece of work so far as a consequence. Ever since, she states, she lived a life true to herself, being at the service of her art, and not letting the art be at the service of her. 
I was intrigued by this wise insight and also by the amazing energy, with which she conveyed her thoughts around what it really means to be an artist. When I asked her about her advice for future artists, she came up with a surprising answer. Hear for yourself, and also, how beautifully she articulates her legacy around her art work….

We’re excited to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late, Kathryn Cameron!

                <![CDATA[In today’s episode, we are talking with our guest Connie Steele about what really matters in the future of work for the millennials and Gen Z.  A 10 years business strategist and marketing consultant with her own firm Flywheel Associates, Connie is sharing with us in the first part of this episode her story, how she found the courage to pivot out of a corporate role, as she felt she “wasn’t’ able to be all of me”, as she puts it,  as the youngest, a female and employee with children. At the time, work, whatever it would be, needed to fit into her life – and not the other way round. Since this has shifted enormously over the last years, Connie has conducted and recently published an interesting study on the New World of Work and Life, in which she wanted to understand what do people really want out of work, career and life. In the second part of our conversation, she is talking about the key findings of the study, which are fundamentally about aligning personal purpose and professional advancement. 

So what does it take for companies to make that happen so that their employees can be successful? How do you really achieve alignment? – I’m asking her.  I was intrigued by Connie’s energy - which I felt to be much in alignment – with which she wants to progress what is a matter of her heart. “As my legacy…” she says, “ I want to bridge the gap that commonly exists within people and that in organizations, such that we can come together with a shared understanding. This is how we can create momentum collectively”. 

Connie Steele, we’re excited to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late today!

Her recently published book “Building the Business of You: A System to Align Passion and Growth Potential Through Your Own Career Mash-Up” is the first book to help professionals and entrepreneurs navigate the new world of work while aligning personal purpose and professional advancement. It is available on amazon.

                <![CDATA[In today’s episode, we’re speaking with best-selling author, certified coach, speaker, trainer and podcaster Dom Brightmon, who empowers and equips others to share their stories and helps them unlock their inner value through reading, writing and podcasting. You will for sure enjoy his amazing sense of humor with which is doing all of that. Because of his own podcast “Going North” , in which Dom features authors that share their life experiences to help others advance themselves, he was listed as one of the top ten self-help podcasters in the world alongside Brendon Burchard, Gretchen Rubin, Lewis Howes and Steve Olsher. 

While in high school, Dom took a summer job at a public library to gain professional experience. Because of his love for books, he has later on written and published 2 books himself, one of which became a bestseller. It is called “Stay The Course: The Elite Performers 7 Secret Keys to Sustainable Success”.  In this conversation, we will learn from him about the MITCH-concept from this book, which are 5 branches of Self Awareness: 
Mental Awareness, Influences Awareness, Time Awareness, Connection Awareness and Habit Awareness. 
I loved how Dom states, that for him, it is all about encouraging yourself and others, based on self-awareness, as this is the major key to lead performance. 
Also, you will hear from him what the 3 skills are that millennials should develop and eventually master. And, of course, how he wants to be remembered.

Please welcome wonderful Dom Brigthmon on Before It’s Too Late today!]]>

                <![CDATA[We are very excited to speak with community-based sociologist and criminologist Dr. Kimya Nuru Dennis today. Kimya is invested in supporting the needs of people with minoritized and underserved demographic-and-cultural identities and experiences. In this important conversation, you will learn from her why she is criticizing the typical diversity, inclusion and antiracism trainings especially at schools, police departments and medical-health providers. She is talking about why she finds these trainings and workshops a waste of time, how no change will be achieved by them but what needs to be done in order to move the needle to more equity. 
I was very impressed by how bluntly and honestly she is calling out the power majorities who will claim “…that they have made an effort and then feel good about it”, but not changing anything.  “Every human has prejudice, every human has assumptions and bias, the difference is in the people having the ability to act on it”, Kimya makes clear. We will hear from her, how she encourages people to focus on the outcome wanted: focus on what’s happening in families, communities, schools and changing policies and practices there, not waiting for the laws. And: read literature!

                <![CDATA[It makes me very happy to speak with Tanya Selvaratnam on the topic of intimate violence today. Tanya is a writer and an Emmy-nominated and multiple Webby-winning producer in the areas of arts and social justice. Also, she has written 2 important books, one of which are talking about in this episode: It is called “Assume Nothing: A Story of Intimate Violence”, and in this book, Tanya shares her story of how her relationship with former New York State attorney general Eric Schneiderman initially felt like a perfect match but then devolved into abuse.

I was deeply impressed by Tanya’s courage to come forward with her experience of intimate abuse, since way too many women suffer from it in silence. Statistics say that 1 in 3 women experience emotional, physical and/or verbal abuse mostly by an intimate partner once in their lifetime. Sadly, since the outbreak of the pandemic, cases of domestic violence have increased. The United Nations Women calls it the Shadow Pandemic.

In that context, Tanya’s book becomes ever more relevant. And very helpful. In this episode, we will learn from her how we all can help others spot signs of intimate violence (which can be sometimes very hard for the person in the relationship) and how to stop and prevent it in their own lives. Tanya talks about how important it is to encourage bystanders to become upstanders. “It’s everyone’s responsibility to stand up for the dignity and safety of everyone else and not just watch”, she states. 
Also, we are talking about what intimate abuse has to do with the love we received in our early childhood years. You will hear from her if she after all still believes in love and in romantic relationships and also, what she wants her legacy to be as a person, who deeply cares about social justice in our world.

We’re proud to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late today, Tanya Selvaratnam!

                <![CDATA[We’re excited to speak with Robert Ginsberg today, who since almost 20 years has been investigating various types of evidence for that there is life after death - like Mediumship, Near Death Experiences, Deathbed Visions and After Death Communications and Signs. In this fascinating conversation, Bob is sharing with us his own story, what prompted his interest in this topic and how he started to base his investigations on phenomena researched by credible scientists. You will hear about Mediumship and how it works, and also we will learn how belief in afterlife has positive and meaningful effects on grief. Bob is telling us about grief retreats with certified mediums, hosted by his 
Forever Family Foundation (www.foreverfamilyfoundation.org), when people with profound grief would change over one weekend, transforming from tears cried of grief to tears cried of joy. “It is all about the powerful connection with our deceased loved ones through mediums”, he says, and you will hear examples for this connection from his own story.
 Bob is the author of The Medium Explosion and currently featured in the Netflix Docuseries Surviving Death. He is also the host of the Signs of Life radio show. 

Let’s get ready to learn more about life after death from our guest Robert Ginsberg today!]]>

                <![CDATA[In today’s episode, my guest is 34 years-old certified nutritionist and mother Myrna Scales. When her second son was only 4 months old, he was diagnosed with cancer. In this conversation Myrna shares with us how she and her husband got through this diagnosis, what it meant for the baby’s sibling, and how the survival of her child has changed her values and the way she prays. “Formerly, I used to pray like I was in control of what was going to happen. Or I was telling God what I wanted and it had to happen. Now, my prayers are of true worship of what I am being given, every single day”, she says.

During the time after the diagnosis and the following months, Myrna found it hard to talk to other parents that didn’t know what she was going through. This is why she found and further built a network for parents of children with chronic illnesses and special needs.  The pandemic and its isolating effect eventually pushed her to start her own youtube channel – for parents that feel alone with their situation (like she did initially). Myrna is giving health tips, tips how to manage stress, how to learn more about differing emotional structures of parents,  how to manage anxiety, and also shares different bible verses that helped her. 

We’re grateful to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late today, Myrna Scales!]]>

                <![CDATA[It makes us very happy to speak with Alison Pena aka Bad Widow in our first episode in 2022 today. As a primary caregiver until her husband of 25 years died in her arms at home, Alison learned a lot about living fearlessly, even in the face of death itself.
In this very honest conversation, she is sharing with us how she and her husband, after the terminal diagnosis, managed to live every minute like it would be their last (until it was their last), and how they recommitted their love to each other before it was too late. 
You will hear from her how she overcame her fear of living without him after his death, of being alone until the rest of her live – and how she overcame it. I was impressed by how frankly Alison is talking about her experiences as a widow, when she faced pervasive assumptions that she was broken by her loss, perhaps forever, and how she felt isolated and lonely but could not find resources at first to solve how to reconnect, get back to work and even open up to love again. She is taking us through her journey of recreating her self, a new life and eventually finding love again and is also talking very openly about the shame and judgement that exists around being happy again as a widow.

In order to share her learnings and help others, Alison began BadWidow.com, a space for people who suffered a loss too. We will also learn why Alison calls herself a bad widow. Her recently published #1 bestselling book, “The Bad Widow Guide to Life After Loss: Moving Through Grief to Live and Love Again” is now available on amazon. 

Please enjoy this meaningful conversation with Alison Pena on Before It’s Too Late today!]]>

                <![CDATA[It makes me so proud to speak in this last episode of the year with “Hollywood’s Emotional Fixer” Chenoa Maxwell. Hollywood Lady Chenoa is a successful actress, a photographer artist and an Emotional & Soul Intelligence Expert. In this heartfelt conversation, she is sharing with us how she moved out from a very tumultuous, abusive childhood with lots of emotional pain into a life that has no limits for joy, love and success. She is talking about the most pivotal moment in her life: as a young girl with no guidance and no support she tried to kill herself – and how she then managed to consistently change her mind, her actions and the vision she had for her future. 
You will hear how Chenoa is working with her clients, who are some of the world’s top entertainers, executives and influential millennials, on dissolving limiting beliefs, manage their emotions, create new pathways of thinking and thrive in every pocket of their lives. In our conversation, I’m also asking her what to do when your mind is stuck and we can’t get to the tears that sometimes want to be released. 
Also, Chenoa is sharing with us her wisdoms around how to pass beyond fear and how to find the courage to show up in certain moments. She is telling her story how she despite of warnings from her friend, followed her gut instinct and introduced herself to Denzel Washington at a casting for the film “Malcolm X” (and what followed this bold move).   “The gift that always returns to my mind any time that I have fear is: listen – push past the fear! It’s only there to remind you that there is something important happening on the other side”, she says.

Please enjoy this enlightening conversation with Chenoa Maxwell on Before It’s Too Late!

We would like to thank all our listeners for their interest and loyalty and wish you wonderful holidays. We will be back with Season 3 of Before It’s Too Late in February!]]>

                <![CDATA[We are very excited to speak with yoga ethics activist Monisha Raja today. Born and raised in India, Monisha has been teaching yoga for over 20 years in New York City and started to practice it at the age of four When she contracted Covid in April 2020, she managed to heal herself through her practice of Yogic breathing and asana, much to the surprise of her medical doctor. Ever since, he sends Covid patients to Monisha, who started to teach the ancient Yogi breathing techniques in a class especially designed for patients suffering from Covid.  You will learn from her in this episode, how exactly she is doing that and what effects this breathing approach has on the immune system. In this context, Monisha also clears up the misconception of what yoga really is and what it isn't. “99% of the people do not even know how to breathe properly” she states. I was truly intrigued by her healing approach that helps not only Covid patients, but everybody to maintain their health (monisharajayoga.com). No wonder she has been approached by researchers and interest groups from all over the world. Currently, she is collaborating with scientists and researchers such as Dr. William Bushell, interested in the therapeutic potential and impact of Yoga practice.

Also, she is sharing with us her impressive journey, how her dysfunctional childhood – she grew up in an abusive environment - impacted her wanting to get out of India as soon as possible and how yoga and art helped her do that. You will hear the reason for her ending up in New York, where she went to Parsons School of Design and later on created her own cruelty-free fashion brand “LOVE IS MIGHTY” (loveismighty.com). 

I’m sure you will enjoy listenting to the legacy Monisha wants to leave behind other than money. We’re proud to have you as our guest today, Monisha Raja!]]>

                <![CDATA[Today, we are speaking with Berlin-born serial entrepreneur Frederik Fleck. Over the last 20 years he has built start-ups from the ground up and led them to successful exits. He is also passing on his knowledge about entrepreneurship and scaling companies to start-ups and young entrepreneurs, whom he supports as a business angel.

Our conversation evolves around taking risks, and what it really is that one has to lose when doing so. Frederik is sharing with us that whenever he starts a new company, he doesn’t even think of it as a risky undertaking. Instead of being afraid of losing money or reputation around investing in start-ups, he says, he would be rather afraid of needing to get himself a job. 

You will hear from Frederik in this episode how he from early on has been led by his “that-I-can-do-myself, and-maybe-even-a-little-bit-better” – mindset. When he was 17 years old, he set up the entire IT system for his father’s office, who is a lawyer. 

Also, he is talking about how he sets himself a learning agenda: “I’m always trying to learn something new every year and never stop being in the learner position….it should never end in my lifetime that I’m learning something new”, he says. 

We also hear, how he found his “WHY” and where he stands in terms of the legacy that he wants to leave behind, wondering, if this should be money at all, or if he wanted to pass on just values and principles.


We’re excited to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late today, Frederik Fleck!]]>

                <![CDATA[We are excited to speak with Dr. James Peyer today. He is the Founder and CEO of Cambrian Biopharma, a Distributed Drug Development Company developing therapeutics targeting the biological drivers of aging. Since he was a teenager, James has dedicated his life to building medicines that can keep people alive and healthy longer than 80-100 years. The mission of his company is to translate laboratory breakthroughs in the extension of healthy lifespan into the clinic, predicting that the world is entering a revolution in biomedical research by targeting the root causes of aging and age-related disease. 
In this fascinating conversation, we are exploring James’ approach to meaning - which is striving to maximize the experience of life and not accepting death -  from a religious, a philosophical and a scientific perspective. 
You might be surprised by the similarities James is finding with religion, where in order to be meaningful, there was a continuity of the human spirit after life which gives meaning to this part of life. “My philosophy is”, he says, “to update this view to the secular worldview. My goal is to have death be a choice”.

We are learning from him, what is scientifically possible in that regard and what aging actually means. Also, how aging itself has changed over the last 100 years. He is explaining to us, how we are at a “critical juncture for health care in this century”, turning the round from treating diseases like cancer to preventing them. 

I was deeply impressed by the substance and profoundness of James’ thinking, which is radical indeed: “The only way to give meaning to a life is to approach each day as if we were indefinite….and the notion, that I will be here for a cosmic blink of an eye detracts from this meaning I give to my life”. 

But if really almost everybody chose to live forever -  what would life look like on our already now highly damaged planet, we asked him. Hear what he has to say about this, and also, what the legacy is James wants to leave behind….you will be surprised.

We’re excited to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late today, James Peyer!]]>

                <![CDATA[In today’s episode, we speak with 24 years old future astronaut Manju Bangalore, who also is an actor, an artist and an organizer. Manju received her Bachelor in Science from the University of Oregon in physics with a minor in math and after having been rejected 100 times, she finally got accepted to be working at two NASA centers during her undergraduate career. 
Manju is sharing with us what gave her the persistence to make her dream happen and who her role model was ever since she was a young girl.
Outside of her scientific career, Manju is also an artist. She has been acting since she was 10 years old, and her farvorite experience onscreen so far has been working with Beyoncé on the set of Black Is King for the Brown Skin Girl music video. It fascinates me how Manju chooses to pursue a multitude of career paths all at the same time without being afraid of losing focus.
You will hear why she thinks that is no problem but rather a plus.

Manju is also the founder of two nonprofits. She founded Operation Period, a youth-led, all-volunteer menstrual health nonprofit. To date, the organization has provided more than 200.000 menstrual products to those in need. Her second nonprofit is called Painting With Parkinson’s, to provide free painting kits and art classes to those affected by Parkinson’s in honor of her father. Last but not least we will learn from her how she wants to be remembered.

We are looking forward to speaking with you on Before It’s Too Late today, Manju Bangalore!]]>

                <![CDATA[It makes me very happy to speak with professor Kathryn Spellman who is on faculty at both Columbia University and Aga Khan University's Institute for the Study of Muslim Civilizations in London. Her work, mainly ethnographic, has centered on the Muslim diasporas, transnational networks, cultural hybridity, gender relations and the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion. Kathryn’s research and teaching is about getting a greater understanding to areas that are largely unknown about the Muslim cultures and all their various forms, including  misconceptions. “I think we really need to break down fear, break down barriers and boundaries. We have to try to understand how other people live their lives and find out what we have in common as well”, she states. Kathryn shares with us how vital teaching is to her, and, by doing so, how she gives her students the power to break out of their silos.

Also, Kathryn is talking about my favorite topic: the importance of grieving and crying. Remembering the past and thinking about death is something that is very much embedded in the fabric of the Muslim communities, and this is why “we can learn so much from them when it comes down to death and grief”, she says.  In this episode, she shares her fascinating experience when she participated in a grieving ritual session held by Muslim women. Her role was it to pass around the Kleenex-box.  

Last but not least we will hear from her about a transformational moment in her life, when her parents told her after High School: “just leave the country and fly”. Well, that’s exactly what she did and what planted the seed to her outstanding career. I love what Kathryn wants her legacy to be: to communicate as much as possible with people from different worlds, with very different socio-economic backgrounds. Because only then, we can begin to understand and find solutions to all the many problems the world has right now.
It’s wonderful to have you as our guest today on Before It’s Too Late, Kathryn Spellman!]]>

                <![CDATA[In today’s episode, we’re speaking with founder and CEO of The Next Big Idea Club, Rufus Griscom. The Next Big Idea Club is a platform and an app that directly connects world’s most brilliant writers and thinkers with their audience, so they can interact around life-changing ideas in a more powerful way. Every season, the 2 most groundbreaking books are selected by Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain and Daniel Pink. You will hear from Rufus what he personally thinks is currently the most important big idea, which is “that humans are capable of living in much more collaborative ways than the way we live now”. “We make better things, when we make them together”, Rufus says, and we will learn from him, that we are smarter, happier, healthier, less deceptible to cognitive biases and even live longer if we are engaged together, collaborating in groups. 
I was intrigued how passionately Rufus is sharing with us in this episode, how he wants to focus on creating community, on connecting with a wide range of people and helping them connect with each other.
“It’s all about connecting, and doing that in a humble and grateful way”, he says. 
You will also hear from him, which tasks he wants to have fulfilled before lying on his deathbed looking back to a rich and meaningful life. These do not only include turning experiences into joy, but also creating most colorful fireworks….enjoy hearing for yourself!

We’re excited to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late today, Rufus Griscom.]]>

                <![CDATA[It makes me very happy to have Marc Walder as my guest in today’s episode. Marc is the CEO and managing partner at Ringier AG. Ringier was founded in 1833 and is a family-owned, innovative and diversified Swiss media company that is active in Europe, Africa and Asia. It fascinates me that Marc has learned his leadership skills and attitude towards life somewhere else: namely on the tennis court. When he was a young boy, he started his career as a professional tennis player, renouncing from an early age to a normal youth. We will hear from him in this episode, why he never regretted this, as he explains his biggest learnings: “It’s worth to challenge yourself, it’s worth to fight and train for things, and it’s even worth to lose”, Marc says. Also, the ability to focus on the present moment and the awareness, that whatever you do, focus on that what you do in that moment. Even with small things.   
When he broke his shoulder, Marc’s life came to a full stop. He shares with us, how it felt to him not knowing what to do next with his life, with no proper education and no network outside the tennis world. How he found the courage to step into the unknown and eventually became a very successful leader and CEO of an international media company, showing a lot of stamina. This is how he grew into his profound attitude, that “the next door is always the next opportunity”. Also, I really like what wisdom Marc wants to convey to his kids and how he wants be remembered….but listen for yourself!

We’re proud to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late today, Marc!]]>

                <![CDATA[In our opening episode for Season 2, we speak with change navigator and adventurer April Rinne about how we as individuals can reshape our relationship to change, so that we can navigate especially the challenging parts of change better and become fit for a world in flux. April has written the amazing book “Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change”, that is coming hot off the press these days. She is sharing with us her key messages: that instead of getting anxious and paralyzed around change we can take agency and embrace it joyfully. Now, with climate change, the pandemic and major global economic and societal change, “we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to level up!”, she says and explains us in this episode how we can achieve this. 
April is pointing out how much our relationship to change goes back to our own scripts that have been formed in our childhood. Was uncertainty back then dangerous, or was it an adventure for my curiosity? The 8 superpowers in her book start to unpack a lot of these beliefs. “Let go of the future in order to let a better future emerge”, she says.
Her plea for a courageous approach to change is particularly interesting in light of her biography: when April was 20 years old, she lost both of her parents in a car accident. I loved her wise thoughts on how important grieving was for her after this loss, and how this event shaped her lens through which she sees constant change in the world.
We are excited to have you as our guest today on Before It's Too Late, April Rinne!]]>

                <![CDATA[In our last episode of season 1,  we are talking to a special guest from Ghana, Lieutenant Colonel Alex Cann. He currently serves as Deputy Operations Officer at the Ghana Army in Africa and is also delivering international UN peacekeeping advice to the Chief of his Army. His specialty is conflict solving, a skill that is becoming increasingly important at a time when global societies need to redefine what it means to be human.

 I was very intrigued by his approach towards conflict solving, which is: deploying wisdom.
 This is also why he is studying philosophy next to his main job. ‘No society can ever avoid conflict. So, how do we address that?’ 
Alex , who has been on conflict solving missions in South Sudan, Mali and the Democratic Republic of Kongo, explains in our great conversation how his team identifies the root cause of the conflict and then bases their communication on wisdom. ‘ Whenever you apply wisdom, there are high chances of getting solutions that each party is willing to accept’, he states. Alex also shares with us insights in the field of industrial security, a sector in which he is active, too. 
Later on, you will hear from him about how he wants to be remembered – and it’s not really surprising that the legacy Alex creates has something to do with being wise! Also, you will hear his profound advice for each and everyone seeking purpose and meaning.

I’m excited to have you as our today’s guest on Before It’s Too Late, Ltd Col Alex Cann!

Before It's Too Late is taking a summer break and will be back with season 2 on Friday, September 3, 2021.
Have a meaningful summer!]]>

                <![CDATA[It makes me incredibly happy to have my logotherapy teacher Batya Yaniger from Israel as today’s guest. What she teaches is all about the individual’s responsibility to find meaning in life, whatever happens to them. Logotherapy – ‘logo’ standing for ‘meaning’ - was developed by Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, who outlined in his famous book ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ how this spiritual dimension of thinking helped him survive the Holocaust in a Concentration Camp. In this episode, Batya is talking about how important it is to be consciously creating an attitude of trust towards your own inner voice. Naturally, this is not an easy process, because people tend to lose that trust, blindly following voices outside themselves. “You have to make a conscious decision about things, to actively say yes or no”, she says. You will hear about the 3 fundamental ideas of logotherapy: The Freedom of Will, the Will to Meaning and the Meaning of Life. To me, logotherapy is one of the most powerful spiritual approaches towards human suffering, because, as Batya quotes Viktor Frankl: “There is some kind of value you can squeeze out of any single situation, however bad it is”. You will hear from her what it means to know that you are always able to choose and to change, once you made a conscious decision about it. Listen to what Batya thinks a world would look like in which all people seeked and found meaning….I can highly recommend to take a deeper look at her learning offerings. The internalization of logotherapy’s principles strongly contributes to your resiliency! 

Batya Yaniger, we’re proud to have you as today’s guest on Before It’s Too Late.

                <![CDATA[It makes me very happy to have 23 years-old activist, artist and movement creator Jammal Lemy as today’s guest.  He has become known to a larger public, when he served as creative director for MARCH FOR OUR LIVES, one of the largest and most impactful youth-led movements in global history against gun violence, after a school shooting in his former High School Marjory Stoneman Douglas in Florida in 2018. 17 people were killed.  You will hear how his idea to create T-Shirts with the American flag and a QR-code on it made it happen for over 50.000 people to scan and register for the March within 2 minutes. “We definitely pushed a conversation forward with organizing and mobilizing”, Jammal says, “and that moment in the movement helped people to connect in ways we have never seen before”. 
Jammal is talking about his work at the intersection of art, politics and culture with his own creative studio MODEMA as well as for the artist collective FOR FREEDOMS and expresses in a truly inspiring way what drives him: “my purpose is to connect with people and to introduce people to new ideas and conversations that question what’s happening in the world”. I was very touched by the deep place of reflection and passion from which he is coming in our conversation. Jammal is sharing with us how he creates art in order to survive and what that means to him. When listening to him, you will feel how much he is invested in bringing out the artist and the activist in all of us, so that in the end people feel strong enough to lift their voice and be heard”. Can it get any more relevant in these unsettling times? 
Jammal Lemy, we’re proud to have you as our guest today on Before It’s Too Late!

                <![CDATA[In today’s episode, we speak with highly achieved Anne Gordon, who was the highest ranking female in one of the 32 American Football teams when she was heading marketing for the Philadelphia Eagles for more than 5 seasons. Anne is sharing with us, what her biggest learning was in this more or less purely male dominated sport world, the NFL.  How she found the courage to communicate more directly. How she learned to signal: “I’m about to disagree and here is why”. This fascinates me, since I think speaking our mind with arguments is an important element of a fruitful conversation that we have to relearn also as a global society. 

On a deeper level, we will learn about Anne’s path towards leading a meaningful live. Being dedicated to building a stronger bridge to her inner self, she talks about what she truly feels to be her responsibility towards others. You will also hear how creativity and the arts produce meaning in her life.

I loved Anne’s thoughts about how she creates her legacy. Whilst she thinks of legacy as something that she shapes for her life here and now and not for after she will be gone, she states: “Where are the lives that I can impact? Whom can I touch? How can I help? I want to bring my gifts and experiences through a lifetime of working and offer it to others in a way that’s meaningful”. For her, it’s all about amplifying the strength of others.

Anne Gordon, we’re proud to have you as our guest today on Before It’s Too Late!]]>

                <![CDATA[It makes me very happy to have Sunil Arora as my guest in today’s episode. I have hardly met people who are able to convey their inner growth process with such richness and wisdom. Sunil is sharing with us his ‘wonderfully weird’ path to his true calling, which was becoming a fulfilled and successful coach. ‘It was both the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life and the biggest gift I’ve ever given to myself’, he is telling us about his personal transformation. We will hear from him how he left his life of privilege and forced himself to sit with his own thoughts in a way he never had before. How challenging it was to deal with that open space, in which all of a sudden there was no e mail to respond to, nothing that he had to do. How he dealt with what he calls the ‘soundtrack of expectations', both internal and external regarding the big, ever so relatable  “What’s next?”-question. 

No wonder, Sunils legacy is truly meaningful. ‘Being as conscious, as self-aware and as intentional as you can during the life time you’re given’ – this is how he would love to be remembered, including helping others with exactly being that. 

Last but not least, we can also learn from him how to process loss and death. When he was in College, Sunil lost his father  - and this event has shaped him in a deep way. He got involved with a non-profit organization called Experience Camps that creates experiences for grieving children. 

So let’s get ready for a profound conversation with wonderful  Sunil Arora.]]>

                <![CDATA[In today’s episode, my guest is the award-winning fintech woman Sashi Valtz, who has made a remarkable career in the international banking world. Just one day before she was about to start a new job and climb her career ladder even higher, she lost the love of her life to the ocean. “See you at 11.30 for brunch” were his last words, before her husband never returned home from kite surfing. Sashi is sharing with us how this tragic event changed her and the lives of her kids forever, and how she managed to find mental and physical balance again. 
I find it truly remarkable and touching how she has tapped into her inner resources in order to create stability and legacy for her family unit left behind as a single mum: “I needed to come back to what made me happy”, Sashi recalls. Let’s learn from her how she created meaning from her sudden loss, how she rediscovered who she is and what made her feel being herself again.]]>

                <![CDATA[I’m proud to have worldwide renowned art curator and artistic director of London’s Serpentine Galleries Hans Ulrich Obrist as my guest in today’s episode. Hans Ulrich is very special in many ways, as with never-ending energy he is calling out for the urgency to make a contribution to the world every single day. This is exactly what matters most to him. 


Hans Ulrich is sharing with us how he already as a little boy curated his child room with art post cards, how he sees his entire life as a chain reaction ever since his 1st studio visit at Swiss artist duo Fischli/Weiss, watching the film “Der Lauf der Dinge/The Way Things Go”, and how the discovery of art books built the basis for his entire world of thinking and feeling. He has agglomerated a library of more than 10.000 books, and seemingly reads as much as he is traveling and connecting people – all at once.
“We need to think whom we can bring together, that’s what we need to do every day”, Hans Ulrich says. We will also hear from him how the entire art world will change with the pandemic and what it means for the future of personal encounters.
“I think it’s so important that we unlearn and relearn our old patterns of thinking and storytelling, in a way that allows us to be in communion with our environment” he states, quoting the self-acclaimed queer black troublemaker Alexis Pauline Gumbs.

Hans Ulrich embodies an inexhaustible source of meaningful ideas to me and it feels just impossible to do him justice in this podcast. 
So get ready for a most inspiring journey with a walking powerhouse....

                <![CDATA[In today’s episode, we are learning from Harvard Business School Professor for Strategy and most successful "After Hours" podcast host Felix Oberholzer-Gee, that happiness is possible in many different versions. He is sharing with us, that for the longest time in his life he thought he wanted to be a carpenter. But when life catapulted him into the elite academic world, he remembers thinking "it was so far from what I had imagined for myself....never I thought that I could potentially be good at this". I was very touched by this statement, especially because of Felix' conclusion he is drawing from it. "I have this notion..", he says, "...that I could have lived various versions of my life with very different results, but with not so different results of how happy I am". Also, we are learning from him about his love for spontaneous human interactions in the streets, about why it is important to be in an environment where everybody keeps trying their best again and again, and about why Felix has no aspiration to think about legacy. Please join me in this wonderful, insightful conversation!]]>

                <![CDATA[I’m very honored to have wonderful actress, best selling author and coach Tina Lifford as my guest in today’s episode. Tina is known for the more than 100 characters she’s played on TV and in movies over the course of 36 years, including her current role playing Aunt Vi in the Oprah Winfrey networks series “Queen Sugar.” But this is not so much what we are talking about today. Rather, Tina is going deep about her long, soul-touching inner journey to her true Self. She is sharing pivotal moments when she experienced stage fright as a school girl in 6th grade and how she turned that into her biggest learning chance ever since.
“These moments, when you are feeling disconnected from yourself, are important moments to pay attention to”, she says. And: “When we realize, that our issues are a microcosm of a much bigger social issue, then shame and secrecy are unnecessary and unhelpful”. We are also talking about her amazing book “The Little Book of Big Lies”, in which Tina created a program for inner fitness that gives us tools to fight self-doubt and to stop telling ourselves lies about who we really are. No wonder Forbes’ appointed it the best Personal Development Book for 2021. Please enjoy listening to what matters most to Tina in life, something, as I find, we can learn a great deal from for ourselves.  We’re proud to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late!]]>

                <![CDATA[In today’s episode, Social Sciences Professor and Change Management Entrepreneur Heiko Roehl is sharing with us a pivotal moment when he caused a car crash by hitting a dear on the German Autobahn. After landing his car upside down, he says, “I’ve noticed how much I live under the illusion of control”. We are discussing how the pandemic, likewise, is a global pivotal moment that fosters honesty about who we really are – and how we can use this honesty for us as individuals, organizations and societies to change to the better. In that context, we are hearing Heiko share his ideas for personal growth.
I was impressed by his honesty, with which he describes how he is constantly trying to grow free from social expectations, why he is changing his job every 5 years (“otherwise you start to believe your own bulshit”), and that going where the fear is has always been his motto.
You will also be hearing about what Heiko considers to be his legacy….something I think is very important….but listen for yourself.  We are proud to have you as our guest on Before It’s Too Late!]]>

                <![CDATA[In this first episode, let's learn from Harvard graduate and former Goldman Sachs partner Lisa Shalett how to create meaning from unwanted transitions in life.  As a truly accomplished career woman she is sharing her story about the pivotal moment when she chose to leave her hugely successful life after her father fell from a ladder and died. 

 Most profoundly, Lisa is talking about how she has been reevaluating her life, created new values and worked backwards from non-negotiables like being home for dinner every night. You'll hear about what matters most to her after her transformation:  the luxury of being spontaneously available, the ability of consciously using her time pro-actively and intentionally instead of reactively, and, maybe most importantly, how she has become her own source of confidence. "It is interesting to see what happens when you create time and space in your life", she says.  She sees everything that happens as an experiment she can learn from. 
You will also hear about her legacy that she wants to leave behind.....

 Lisa is the founder of  Extraordinary Women on Boards, a  community of hundreds of women directors on boards, focussing on increasing board diversity - and that's also how I met her.   We're proud to have you as our first guest at Before It's Too Late!

If you enjoy this podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/itunes? I doesn't take up much time and it would help tremendously to convince hard-to-get guests.]]>
