Significant quotes:

“I was so sure that I didn’t want to go back to that normal life that I had back then in Germany, because, when you are out there and you meet so many people who are already doing what you are aspiring to do, I think this is the biggest motivation.” 02:51
“Every time you close a door, one door opens. Don’t be afraid of it. Most mysterious things happen and there is always a way. There is always a way. Sometimes you are stuck and you think, ‘oh no, this won’t work.’ But it will.” 16:54
