Self-Made Filmmaker: How Much Should You Let the Algorithm Shape Your Work? (The Human Chris)

Psychedelic Breath Founder: Does Growth Require Suffering? (Eva Kaczor)

We sit down in Berlin with Eva Kaczor, solo founder of Psychedelic Breath, and talk about burnout, purpose, and the idea that transformation often begins in moments of pain rather than clarity.After years of pushing herself through ambition, overwork, and physical limits, Eva reached a point where nothing worked anymore. What followed was not a gradual adjustment, but a complete stop. She shares how burnout didn’t come out of nowhere, but from ignoring signals that had long become normal, and how that experience forced her to ask deeper questions about life, work, and meaning. We talk about the belief that purpose is something you need to find, and why Eva sees it differently. Instead of searching outward, she describes purpose as something that is already within us, something we remember rather than discover. The conversation explores suffering, intuition, and the tension between effort and alignment.This is a conversation about burnout, healing, and the uncomfortable idea that growth doesn’t always come from doing more, but from learning when to stop, listen, and change direction.

Self-Made Filmmaker: How Much Should You Let the Algorithm Shape Your Work? (The Human Chris)

We sit down with Chris in our Berlin studio to talk about creativity, storytelling, and the hidden tension between making meaningful work and chasing numbers on social media. Starting from his experience working as a video editor for others and on YouTube content, Chris shares the frustration of knowing you’ve created something great, while realizing that success often depends more on the platform mechanics incl. titles and thumbnails - than the content itself. This conversation dives into the reality of building something creative in a system driven by attention, and the constant balance between experimentation, authenticity, and sustainability. Chris shares his experience about creative burnout and also talks about the importance of nurturing close relationships. We also talk about documenting your life, creating introspective content, and why reaching a few people deeply can matter more than reaching thousands superficially.

Balinese Songwriter & Ceremonialist: Can You Find Yourself by Letting Go? (Purnama)

We spend time in Bali with Purnama, a Balinesian-Swiss musician and Balinese culture guide whose life took a radical turn when the path she was expected to follow stopped feeling right. Growing up between Switzerland and Bali, Purnama initially pursued a conventional definition of success before realizing that achievement without meaning was leaving her disconnected from herself. What followed was a long break, reconnection to spirituality, healing, and ultimately returning to her roots, reconnecting with indigenous wisdom, nature, and a slower way of living. We talk about Bali's emerging and substantial challenges, about leaving behind external expectations, the courage it takes to disappoint others in order to stay true to yourself, and why sometimes doing nothing is the beginning of real change. This conversation explores, cultural identity, connection to your own calling, and the idea that fulfillment often comes from realigning with your truth rather than achieving.
