  • Heritage Meets Bold Reinvention

    This was such an elegant and thoughtful conversation. You highlighted how launching Mandarin Oriental Vienna isn’t just about opening walls, it’s about translating culture into experience, honouring the city’s Art Nouveau heritage while shaping a future-focused luxury destination.

  • The Journey Behind the Brand

    What I appreciated most about this episode is how it revealed that Nomad’s identity was shaped by life, not market research. His travel wasn’t just backdrop, it was the source material for every creative and strategic choice that followed. That kind of origin, lived experience informing design, is rare, and it’s what turns a concept into something people belong to, not just consume. Beautifully done.

  • Leadership Takes Air

    This episode beautifully reveals that innovation often demands more than ideas—it needs space to breathe. In the Bavarian Alps, leaders didn’t find answers in boardrooms, they found them in stillness, altitude, and clarity. Thank you for illustrating that sometimes the best strategy isn’t crafted, it’s discovered.

Swedish Stockings and Anima: Two brands stepping up for sustainability

Swedish Stockings and Anima: Two brands stepping up for sustainability
Q: How did you go about developing tights that would be sustainable and more wearable and more durable?

What South Tyrol can teach the world about doing better business
Q: How do you balance, Evelyn, the respect for tradition and heritage, but also the appetite to innovate?
Kirchmeyer says South Tyrol combines strong local roots with international openness. Family ownership allows businesses to think in generations, build stability and invest in people and innovation.
What South Tyrol can teach the world about doing better business
Q: Do you think there's something about the vantage point actually that South Tyrolean folk have that helps them to see, almost literally, see the world differently?
Hinteregger attributes the region's outlook to its history and location, its position between Latin and Anglo-Saxon cultures, and its Italian, German and Ladin languages.
Recipe for success: The founders of Farmer J and Pizza 4P’s discuss the vital ingredients
Q: How do you build that culture so that it becomes completely concrete and clear to all of your team what they need to do?
