Energy Bikes – Fabian Reuter (FAZUA): E-Bike Antriebssysteme neu gedacht - Eine Erfindung revolutioniert den Markt

What I enjoy most about podcasting is the diversity of our industry and the great passion of the personalities as influencers and drivers. I found Christian Schou in a roundabout way - it's fun to listen to him - he doesn't beat around the bush - he loves to say: let's go skiing when I ask him for business-relevant impulses :-) So open your ears for Christian Schou, open your eyes for House of Hygge. Christian Schou likes to emphasize the energy with which the Norwegian brand House of Hygge is making its way. Christian is the manager and Chief Executive Skibum (as he calls himself) of House of Hygge. The brand was founded in 2004 as a supplier of slack line kits. His own description is better than any word I could find for his status quo in 2023: "When I founded House of Hygge, I wanted to go skiing. I made the world's first slackline set. The money financed many seasons in Chamonix, climbing expeditions in the Himalayas and surfing in tropical paradises around the world. There were times when there were no budgets and no ambitions other than the best possible experiences in nature. This is still the lifeblood of our company. To this day, employees receive a written notice if they don't ski when it snows. I am impressed by what our small group has achieved so far. We are working hard and will continue to do so. Personally, I'm still mainly interested in the great experiences. Keeping things real. But what I am really proud of is that we are creating year-round jobs in rural Norway. We are an "outdoor lifestyle brand", as it is called in Nynorsk. Our strategy is to become a fully-fledged supplier of sportswear, from head to toe, inside out, summer and winter. We received wonderful confirmation of this when we were voted "Newcomer of the Year" by the Norwegian Sports Industry Association. The vision is still firm: to give people a break from everyday life. We can therefore promise you that we will work hard to continue to be both the best in the test and the best at the party."

Speaking to Daniel is like a source for good – his energy, his passion, his business intelligence are an inspiring source in any field of play. In our podcast Dan, as he is known to his friends and buddies, openly shares his personality and his source for his work. With Brandwave he founded a collaborative agency – being one of the most intelligent and credible workforces in our industry. Not being too enthusiastic but open to sharing the good ones! And as this is my passion – Sharing for the Good – spread the word for Daniel and his great teamwork! Personal Story: Daniel is the founder and CEO of Brandwave. Growing up in Southwest Ireland, he was surrounded by some of the best surfing and windsurfing conditions in the world and spent much of his youth teaching and competing in windsurfing. As a member of the Irish National Windsurfing Team, Daniel competed all over the world. Traveling and discovering new waves is still one of Daniel’s biggest passions and it doesn’t take long for him to get itchy feet again once he’s back in the office. Daniel has a degree in marketing and an MBA from Dublin Business School.

Steffi habe ich schon gekannt – vor dem Podcast – vor ihrer Stelle. Sie ist eine beeindrucke Persönlichkeit – fröhlich vom ersten Moment. Klar und präzise in der Zusammenarbeit. Und spätestens als sie am ersten Tag ihres Mutterschutzes Geschäftsführerin wurde, wurde allen klar, welche Kraft von ihr als Person, aber auch von ihrer Verbindung zu Ortovox und zu den Teams ausgeht. Steffi strahlt Vertrauen, Wissen und Souveränität aus. Als Head of CSR and Chief Supply Chain Officer ist Steffi Teil des Ortovox Management Teams – in ihrer Verantwortung liegen die Themen, die Ortovox im Markt ausmachen und die dafür gesorgt haben, dass Ortovox von einer Lawinen-Verschütteten-Suchgeräte-Brand zu einer der beliebtesten Textilmarken geworden ist.

Christophe says that Lagoped is made by free people - he offers an ecoscore on his full range - and, the claim I love most: Nature is our home - not our shareholder. This reflects his personality - he knows the fundamentals. In his, let's call it "previous life", he was a bank account manager, finance professional - now for a while, he has been running Lagoped. From the initial idea until today, lots of learnings, lots of passion and lots of success made his life project into an outstanding brand history. Lagoped was founded in 2018 by himself as a financial engineer turned entrepreneur and Julien Désécures, an engineer turned mountain guide - plus Pierre Derieux as a strategy consultant. Together, they set out on a mission to put nature back at the heart of humanity. The snowbird they often met became their mentor. He forged the DNA and the name of the brand. This love of time spent in nature and outdoor activities has led them to well-thought-out and responsible clothing. Having Christophe in the podcast inspires energy and business intelligence, which sets the stone - his collection and product planning are straight and ensure that resource planning is made responsibly — a true case to share knowledge, perspectives and cooperation within our industry.
