At the weekend, Thomas Wilde, friend and owner of the largest German agency for tourism and digital industry, invited me to a barbecue course in Munich at Shane's. The grill master was the gifted chef Shane McMahon and the world champion among barbecue specialists, Florian Knecht, with his legendary Big Green Egg grills. During the four hours in belarus rcs data which they conjured up the most wonderful barbecued food with the green monsters, both Shane and Florian radiated such convincing fanaticism that I - who had previously only been connected to active grilling through active eating - wondered whether I should now take up this male hobby too. I already play tennis and golf, so now I have to grill?
But it wasn't the grill masters that most aroused my personal and professional interest, but the illustrious group of successful start-up pioneers that Thomas Wilde had once again brought together. Older men for the most part, so none younger than 45, but experienced entrepreneurs and inventors who are far from retiring. Take Andreas Schwabe, CEO of Blackwood Seven Germany GmbH, a global media optimizer. We've known each other for a long time, but for just as long I didn't really understand what he was doing with his company Booming (the predecessor that he sold to ProSiebenSat.1) and the current company Blackwood Seven.
