Emotional Intelligence has been named as one of the key factors for a successful communication within a company. The disadvantage of not being emotionally intelligent is going to get bigger and bigger in the future. The art of understanding people and reacting to it exceptionally well is not easy – and it will be more important. 

But one step back, what does emotional intelligence mean? And how can brands and people integrate it? I thought I would bring an expert into the podcast with Dr. Petra Meyer. She is a lecturer, a consultant and also an author, all related to the topic. 
Enjoy, this is is great. Let Petra and me know what you think 🙂 

Tristan Louis was officially the 24th person on the internet having a webpage. Tristan’s a true thought leader on everything digital and tech, known in the TV and the media industry in general being featured in the NY Times, Forbes, or the Business Insider. 

Besides now being the CEO and President of Casebook which is an amazing project, he has worked in high c-level regions before. 
Previously, has was the co-founder of in total 6 companies with 2 IPOs and 3 exits. He led the starting point of the internet at banks like HSBC as the Chief Innovation Officer or at Deutsche Bank afterwards as the  Global Head of Mobile and Internet.

In the early days of the internet, he worked together with internet leaders such as Steve Jobs or Marc Andreesen which most of you know. How did I come across him? In my workshops around podcasting, I wanted to find out who were the inventors of the podcast industry. Clearly, Tristan was also involved in that. Together with a couple of other people, he brought up the idea of an RSS feed which now enables everybody in the world to host a podcast. 

Amazing story. Don’t miss it. Let Tristan and me know what you think about it. 

Ryan Carson, a very well known tech expert from the US and co-founder of Treehouse, joins the show to talk about his ups and downs, the vision behind Treehouse and his 4.30 wakeup call!

This definitely counts as one of my highlights. Ryan has been someone that I have followed for a couple of years because of his dedication and passion to make this world a better place through entrepreneurship. Being friends with for example Kevin Rose, Tim Ferris and Gary Vaynerchuk makes it interesting since you guys surely know all of them probably. 

Treehouse brings affordable technology education to people everywhere around the globe with a focus on coding and design – currently counting 180.000 students that have accomplished the courses (in total by far over 200). 

A humble, passionate and dedicated founder! Don’t miss this one. And if you like it, please let me an iTunes review – would mean a lot to me!
