I left school at sixteen to become an investment banker. Three years later, I began studying economics while working as a journalist for an international television network.
After finishing my degree, I transitioned from journalism into film rights acquisition and financing. That role allowed me to regularly travel between my two favorite places: Germany and California.
Over time, I expanded into film marketing, managing ad campaigns, organizing premieres, and eventually producing and financing feature films and TV series - something I still do today as an independent film producer.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of my childhood heroes - an experience I remain deeply grateful for. Over the last 30 years, I’ve collaborated with some of the world’s leading financial and film companies.
Around 2004, I began to realize something wasn’t right. At work, I was dealing with chaotic structures, vague objectives, and overwhelmed bosses. In my personal life, my relationships kept falling apart.
I felt empty - and started asking myself:
Why are you even here? What’s the point of all this? Is there any meaning? Or is life just about pushing through - living something that looks good on paper, but feels completely disconnected inside?
Those questions sparked a deep urge in me to understand how life really works. I started reading everything I could get my hands on that even hinted at answers. I visited healers and teachers all over the world, attended countless seminars, learned techniques and rituals, practiced martial arts, went on vision quests, and walked through deserts, jungles, and mountains - all in search of deeper meaning.
After a sweat lodge ceremony with a shaman, things finally clicked. I understood what I had been looking for - and found the answers I needed.
Since then, I’ve made it my mission to share these insights with anyone open to receiving them.
I’m not into esotericism or organized religion. I’m pragmatic and grounded. But I believe in the power of clarity - seeing things not better than they are, not worse than they are, but exactly as they are.
Because where the story ends, clarity begins.
