In our new episode, we explore the incredible power of collaboration. We follow a unique event, where three major business networks in Berlin joined forces to share their knowledge, expertise, and skills to tackle important issues in the city. Hosted in the historic home of artist Max Liebermann, this event was more than just a meeting—it was a mission to create social impact. Through a structured process, participants shared ideas, worked together, and transformed insights into actionable plans. This episode highlights how businesses grow and create a positive change not by competing in isolation but by sharing resources and solving real-world challenges together. The result? A ripple effect that benefits not only the companies involved but the broader community as well. Discover how collaboration can be the key to driving meaningful impact, and learn how you can apply these lessons to your own journey.

"Where would we end up if everyone could do whatever they wanted?" – But perhaps this is precisely the key – to self-awareness, further development and overcoming personal problems. In our new episode, we get to know Mohammad & Hussein Eliraqui and the ACT theater group. Here, young people work together to develop plays based on the "veto principle" on topics that are hot on their minds. The rule of thumb here is that everyone can do (or not do) what they want – within a certain framework. This approach encourages personal responsibility and self-reflection on the part of the participants. The results are fascinating, sometimes provocative and sometimes moving. For this episode, we accompanied the group working on their new piece "A safe haven". See for yourself. 

In this heartwarming behind-the-scenes look at a theater group in Kassel, we witness the power of creative collaboration beyond labels. The Irrlichter, a diverse group of friends, have been making theater together for years. In this episode I get to meet them on the final performance of their latest play. Join us as we celebrate the power of friendship, creativity, and unity in this week's episode. 

Channel teaser

I asked strangers to compliment other strangers.

I decided to spend the next year and a half of my life doing and promoting good deeds. why? The answer is in the film. 

About the human spirit. The "Zug der liebe", The train of love, is a demonstration of love and solidarity. In 2021 it was stopped because people haven’t kept the Corona rules. Instead of the demonstrations, an illegal party has started. 

Five weeks after the floods in Germany I joined the helpers that are doing their best to rebuild and give a hand to the victims.

About unconscious bias, and me being a jew in a box. 

My two cents on technology and its effects on us. 

I found my old polaroid camera and decided to put it back to good use. The plan was to give random people a polaroid photo. The problem was that my camera is too old and I couldn't get the film in time for our shooting day. At the last minute, a "good one" came to my rescue. 

My wife and I saved about 15 Kilos of apples from the field. We didn't want them to get waisted so we made a whole bunch of apple crumble and gave it to people who look like they could use it.

This week I wanted to do something that is out of my comfort zone. I wanted to help a street juggler. The only problem was - I don't know how to juggle. Arbenita, a street performer, invited me to join her and see if I can improve her earnings. That day, I learned how to juggle and also a thing or two about life.

If you can't buy it- Print it. Shuki had a problem. He needed to work with his laptop on the train, but the distance between the chair and the table was too big. so, he designed a simple product that solves the problem and then 3D printed it. Shuki could have made this product into a good business, but he decided to give it away for free and shared the plans online. 

The 40 hours work week was presented to us for the first time in the 1920s by Henry Ford. It was good back then but it does not mean that it should stay that way. I asked some friends about their time. I wanted to know how they use it and how would they use it - if they could work less. 

I created a pop-up event on the first day of Hanukkah the Jewish festival of light. The idea was to gather people and light together the first of the 8 candles. After the ceremony, we gave away free homemade "Sufganiyot" to the people walking by. 

In order to celebrate the World Toilet day I invited friends and some people I met in the park to play "musical chairs". Instead of chairs, we played on toilets. 

I volunteered to help Jan, from a neighborhood house in Berlin, distributing a donation of 1500 thermos bottle to homeless shelters. I met so wonderful "good ones" and learned a thing or tow, about the Christmas spirit. 

In the middle of 2021, I have decided to go back to my first love - making videos and movies with meaning for the next year and half. On my path I had help - good hearted persons in my life. Find out in video where my motivation came from and until we meet again - look for the good ones :) With love,  Guy

In one of our darkest moments. When the phrase world war 3 suddenly seems to pop up in every corner. When memories of a shameful time arise and hope is challenged. The good ones emerge. This week I was wandering around the streets of Berlin and saw a huge amount of wonderful people devoting their heart, time and energy to help the people of Ukraine. These volunteers are representing humanity at its best. They are everywhere. They are out on the streets screaming stop Putin stop war and singing Ukraines national anthem. They help bring people out of the fighting zone. They help refugees from the moment they get out of the train. They gather supplies, create meeting places, translate, offer their homes and something to eat. This week's film is an homage to all of them. There is still a lot more that needs to be done. 

A month ago I took on a well being challenge. The idea was pretty simple. I planed to use the first 10 minutes of every day to practice the asian squat. My goal was to be able to sit comfortably for at least 5 minutes. At the end of the day I had to answer two questions: What are the 3 things that went well today? And was was my role in them. Like in physical training, answering the same questions every day was a way to use repetitive action to strengthen my ability to confront the “negativity bias”. It was suppose to be a fun challenge An achievable start. A way to incorporate healthy and supportive habits to my daily routine. When I started this challenge, I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me. As it turns out, it was much harder than what I expected.

The Asian squat is supposed to be a very simple thing, but I just can’t do it. Years ago it wasn’t a problem, but I have neglected my physical well-being for too long. So, I decided to finally do something about it and start a 30 days challenge. My challenge will not only be a physical challenge. I will also tackle the mental part of my well-being and try to give my brain tools to cope with the negative bias. Find out in film what is the negative bias and how it affects the way we perceive our reality. Learn how to use tools from the physical training world in order to develop a healthy and supporting habit for your mental well-being. I hope you find this episode useful. With love, Guy.

Sometimes our mind is like a balloon. drifting and controlled by other influences. When things go our way we feel happy. If not, we feel sad. Our whole life we aspire to be happy, but the problem is, that normally, our state of happiness is influenced by external circumstances. It is determined by people and events that are out of our control. So what can we do about it? How can we make happiness sustainable? For the International day of happiness 2022, I want to remind you that Happiness and unhappiness are things that come from within us. They are no more than a state of mind and therefore their real cause can not be found outside. 

Sumatra is one of the "Sunda" Islands of western Indonesia. It is a beautiful place and even though it lost almost 50% of its tropical rainforest in the last 35 years. It still has a wide range of plant and animal species. What it also has is trash. And lots of it. This trash contaminates the water, creates diseases, and hurts the plants and the population. It is destructive and useless. But what if you could change it? But what if you could collect this trash and exchange it for a warm meal? And if you do, What would you do with so much trash? Would it be possible to reuse it in an original and sustainable way? This week, I met Nadine, one of the creators of the NGO “Project Wings”. A Berlin Koblenz based project that aims to make the issue of recycling and environmental protection socially acceptable. With their unique concept to handle plastic pollution, they managed to create a “green economy” in which plastic pollution is used as a commodity. They are buying “Eco bricks” from the locals and are using this trash to build the largest recycling village on the planet. With a big net of Volunteers and investors they manage to create an impact in Sumatra and give it hope for a better, clean and sustainable future. 

There is a youtube channel that I find very interesting. It’s called Stranger kitchens. Every episode they make dinner in a stranger’s home.

Together we decided that for the meal we would only use rescued food, so not only that we had to find strangers and get them to invite us to their homes but we also had to find the food to cook for them. Which means - we had a busy day…

Nowadays we all go to school for free, but the accessories that help us learn are not so cheap. For some of us, it is a hard financial blow, especially the first class.
