Let's Fight (our) Mediocrity, One Round at a Time!
The first two rounds of the Life-Sparring Podcast were well received, but a few listeners' feedback was that they wanted to hear more from me, the host, and not just from the guests. Be careful, what you ask for, your wishes might come true. Here we go with the first solo shadowboxing round. Topics covered in this round: Story of Life-Sparring, Clubhouse, Urine Analysis, Keto Diet, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
For Life-Sparring - Round 2, host Fabian is joined by sales veteran and Managing Director DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) of sports wearable manufacturer Polar Electro, Eva Hilf.
After deciding against running a guest house in the desert of Jordan, joining Procter & Gamble instead, Eva made an impressive career in consumer goods' sales & marketing.
In our conversation, we dig into Eva's "eternal truths of sales" applicable under all circumstances.
With Eva working with Polar Electro for the past 8 years, the wearable industry's massive transformation is another topic we dig in. If you want to hear how Polar navigates this watershed for the industry and how Eva sees the future of wearables listen to the show!
In case you are not yet willing to commit to a full round of the Life-Sparring Podcast, we made a little trailer to explain a bit what you can expect from the Life-Sparring Podcast.
Hopefully, that will push you over the edge and get you excited enough to listen and hopefully even subscribe to our show.
For round 1 of the Life-Sparring Podcast, I managed to book an absolute rockstar and professional, trail running “heavyweight” Vlad Ixel from Perth, Australia.
Vlad has an inspiring story to tell and is not just a professional trail runner with an insane winning rate; he is also a running and triathlon coach and a fitness influencer with more than 70k followers on Instagram and he recently started his own supplement company BIX Hydration.
We dive into all three of Vlad’s careers and one thing becomes clear, Vlad’s success is as much coming from his strategic approach as it comes from his innate athletic talents.
