In the section Backstage, interesting personalities from the financial sector and beyond provide insights into their personal preferences every Wednesday.

What do you do first in the morning?

I make coffee for my wife.

What is the best part of your job?

It's hard to pick out just one aspect. For me personally, it's the freedom I've gained through my work.

A moment that changed your life?

At one of my events, a follower told me that I am shaping Switzerland. At first, I didn't understand what she meant. She explained that I am bringing financial education and investing closer to an entire generation. That generation will pass it on to their children, meaning I am helping shape Switzerland in a lasting way. That thought has stayed with me ever since and has become a major driving force in my life.

What cars do you own? Which is your favorite?

We have a five-year-old Skoda Kodiaq as our family car.

What advice would you give your 20-year-old self?

You think you know everything and understand the world. Look forward to the day you realize that you know nothing - because from that moment on, everything becomes easier.

What are you particularly proud of?

Making an impact in Switzerland.

What do you do when you have doubts?

I seek advice from people who are further along in their journey.

What is your favorite wine?

I don't drink alcohol.

What projects are you currently working on?

BlueBudget - the coolest budgeting app in Switzerland, allowing users to connect all their bank accounts and actively helping them save money.

What do you admire in other people?

I admire those who follow their own path and find their niche and place in the world.

What would be the biggest surprise for someone who had to take over your job for a day?

How many different tasks can arise in a single day.

What is your personal drive?

Creating value. Before publishing anything, I always ask myself whether it delivers real value. And of course, the many positive messages I receive every day about my work.

What are you afraid of?

The day my parents pass away.

Your favorite watch brand?

Rolex - for me, it represents the most refined design combined with a great heritage.

Is there an unfulfilled dream you would still like to realize?

Many. For example, diving in the Galapagos Islands or hosting a live podcast in a sold-out Swiss Life Arena.

Your best investment?

Bitcoin.
