Hey there!
Today's topic is one that I talked about with my friend Flo in one of the episodes that we did together, already. So you can see it is one that I feel passionate about again ;) Semesters abroad, at another university in another country really do give you a lot and today I want to address three points that are probably not the ones you usually hear first if somebody talks about the opportunity to go abroad :)

Good morning! :)
We all know this type of person that inspires everyone around them to be better, to try harder and develop further. If you do not have them in your circle of friends then at least you know them from TV. But what makes these people so inspirational and how can you for yourself start becoming this kind of person? I wanna give you my thoughts on that today...

Today's episode is a bit emotional (I am sure you will understand what I mean as soon as you listen to the episode... :D). We are talking about how to get things and what is (in my opinion) the most important factor that determines if you can make something happen or not.

Hey guys!
Today I have something special for you. I got together with Grant to talk about the field of cyber security in general and specifically what to expect from studying it. We then also talked about the life of a student in general and Grant surprised me with some really valuable opinions.
I hope you will take something from this episode. If you have any questions, feel free to text me or Grant directly. And please leave some feedback for this episode, so that we can both bring you even more value in the future :)

Sleep.Is.Important. You will hear that from me over and over again, because I did not know that when I started university and I see that as one of my biggest "mistakes".

Sixth episode with Flo! I hope you still enjoy that format, we will try to do one episode per week again from now on.
A lot of students constantly complain about their studies and about how difficult everything is (I have to admit, to a certain extent, I am guilty of that, too). Though, when you reach a certain point in your studies, you will realize that university is actually not that hard ...

Hi :)
I have to say I am very excited for your comments on this episode! In this episode we are looking at a scenario that is almost un-imaginable. What could you do if you do not have a clear goal right now, if you are not in one of your sprint phases. For me these downtimes are sometimes even more demanding mentally than the work itself ...

Today we have an extremely serious and sadly often overlooked topic! Everything we consume every day, from music over movies to YouTube videos, has a direct effect on our believes, our mood and in general on what we are capable of doing. I am not only talking about spending your time more productively but to strictly control what you are consuming every day!

Hey there, good morning and Merry Christmas to all of you that are celebrating! :)
We are extremely used to others holding us accountable. Be it our parents, our professors or our boss at work, someone will always check if you have accomplished something. But usually these other parties only hold us accountable to the bare minimum. In order to actually achieve more than that, we have to learn to take over this function ourselves and hold ourselves accountable for what we said we would do.

Welcome back! I hope you had a good start into the new week! :)
Today's episode is a very practical one and focuses on managing your time well, so that you do not get overwhelmed by your workload at some point. I think we are all familiar with the following situation: The semester starts, everything seems very relaxed, a bit too relaxed and from one week to the next we are drowning in work and it seems impossible to get everything done while still having a social life ... or sleep :D
There actually is a way to avoid that so that your next semester will be more ... balanced.

Hi!
Today's episode is all about respect! I believe it is an essential but sadly extremely underestimated part of our life when interacting with others. Since in university we are constantly around people, be it our friends, Professors or university staff, I think it is useful to talk about the importance of showing others respect and what it can do for you.

Very often we want it all! As soon as we have decided that something needs to change, we want to make it happen over night and throw ourselves onto the problem with everything we got. But is that a sustainable way of solving problems? Actions usually require persistence and in this episode I want to elaborate on the importance of sustainability in your actions and initiatives.

Have you realized that your imagination of something is quite often extremely different to the thing itself. I experienced so often that I imagined a certain event to be a certain way and when I actually was in that situation, it turned out to be completely different. Often times we allow our imagination of something to determine if we actually do that thing or not. I think that is a mistake...

Good morning!
Today's topic is kind of philosophical. There are multiple people (and of course I agree with them...) that say, you should not only focus on the things that you naturally enjoy doing the most, but also live out all the other facets of yourself regularly in order to have a more fulfilled life (like the athlete who should still draw sth from time to time). I want to go over that today, because I realized again today how true that is for me.

Nothing is as difficult as starting something. As soon as we overcome this barrier and get into the doing phase, most of the things turn out to be not as difficult (or simply annoying) as we thought they would be. In this episode I am trying to give you a few tipps on how to overcome the hurdle of starting something.

Guys, in this episode I am going over something difficult. Dealing with failure, especially in university, where every failure seems to be the end of the world, since it directly affects your future, is one of the most difficult things there are in the cosmos of higher education (apart from the subject you are studying of course ;) ). I really hope that I can give you a bit of a perspective on ... failure.

Today I am trying to explain the "strategy" behind this podcast! ;) I believe university is, as so many other things, a mindset game and that, if in the right mindset, you will not need very practical advice from me, at least not as frequently as I could give it to you.

In this episode I am going over a topic that threw me off track multiple times over the years and that I really needed to learn the hard way!

Hi!
Since I know that university is not only about learning new things but also about remembering them all, I made a very concrete episode on how to memorize large amounts of information efficiently!

I had quite a long conversation with a friend of mine today. He is a very disciplined guy and gets done a lot. We both agree that waking up earlier can give you the extra time you need to reach your goals, academically and overall in life! For the longest time I struggled with waking up early, even though I knew that it is useful.
