Maxim Adam is an avid adventurer who tackles Europe’s high mountain passes and breathtaking scenery on his motorbike. Maxim takes us through the development of his passion for motorbikes, the in-depth process into obtaining an motorbike licence and some of the (literal) ups and downs of gaining experience and practice riding a motorbike across all types of terrain.

Maxim’s dedication and keen interest in such an exciting hobby has always fascinated me and I hope our chat this week makes you feel the same.

This week on the pod I speak with Martina Rädler about being an 'Au Pair' in the USA and studying to become a physical therapist.

Martina and I were connected through a mutual contact and this podcast was the very first time we had met and spoken! It was interesting to get to know Martina and have a nice conversation with her!

This week, I asked and YOU delivered!

I asked a bunch of friends and colleagues to send me a voice note of what their favourite words were and WHAT A RESPONSE!

For a while now, I’ve been trying to think of a way to get more people involved in the podcast. It was really interesting to hear what everyone had to say - with some choosing their favourite English words, and others choosing words from other languages that they think are really useful or fun!

I had a ball hearing what people had to say and I hope you do too. I think it’s a great way to learn some new words and see what they mean to people.

If you would like to get involved in future episodes of the podcast, just like this one, please get in touch... I’d love to chat with you!

Enjoy!

Ever wondered if you are really brushing your teeth correctly? Or if your dentist actually likes you? This week is your chance to find out....This week on the podcast is well respected dentist, Dr. Amelia Schlanitz.

Amy is a friend of mine and to say we 'click' is an understatement. Whenever I see Amy, I like to annoy her with all the random questions about teeth and dentists that everyone wonders. As you’ll hear, I took the opportunity on this episode to ask some of the big ones!

Amy takes us through why she became a dentist, the ups and downs of the job and also shares some tips that dentists ‘wish their patients knew’.

All that and more so jump straight in!

My guest this week is the uber talented Steffi from Tattoo Studio Lindau!

Steffi takes us through her design inspirations, why tattooing is rewarding and the challenges artists face in today’s ‘social media’ driven world. And of course, it wouldn’t feel right without experiencing Steffi’s work first hand which is why I also asked Steffi to design a beautiful new tattoo for me!

Check out Steffi's work and book your next tattoo with on instagram and TikTok under @myinkedworld.

PhD's, Immunology and Bouldering!

Join me as I chat with this week's guest, Laura Oberbichler.

Laura is a PhD student studying Immunology in Zürich, Switzerland focusing on MS (Multiple Sclerosis). Laura takes us through what it means to study immunology, where she thinks the future of studying MS is going, her love of bouldering and the importance of English in the scientific community.

My chat with Laura was the very first time we had met or spoken and it was an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to get to know her.

Animals, Paw Patrol and at Kindergarten! This week's podcast has it all! Today's guest is my 5-year-old son, James.

For a month or so, James has been asking me if he can be on this podcast. So this week we finally made the time!

James takes through his thoughts on why scorpions are cool and why his favourite colour is ‘blue-purple’. He also talks about why it’s my fault he’s tired and why he wants to be a vet!

A lot people ask me how my wife and I raise a child in a German speaking country with an Austrian mother and an Australian father. You will quickly notice that James speaks in a hybrid mix of English and German and at times it can be quite difficult to follow. For those of you who speak German, you’ll notice many German words and sentences mixed right in the middle of his English sentences. It’s not always easy but it's a lot of fun to be around. Most of the time, he seems happily unaware that he speaks two languages and my wife and I happily speak German and English with him and let him respond however he likes. I hope you enjoy :)

Ireland, Irish and English. This week's guest is one of my best mates, Chris Donohue. Chris lives in Ireland with his Irish wife and children and he takes us through the ins and outs of the fascinating relationship Ireland has with language.

Although Chris was born in Australia, his deep and undying love for Ireland and the Irish culture has resulted in a passion for the Irish language, even though he doesn't speak it. Chris's drive to learn about the language and study it is a wonderful example of how language is more than just a bunch of words.

We hear about Irish in the school system, the attitudes and habits of using Irish amongst native speakers and why Chris the opportunity to immerse himself in the Irish culture, land and people is nothing but an absolute privilege.
