Melanie is the founder of Master21 academy the first coding school in Switzerland! Their mission is to empower people to shape the digital world and to educate people who work with software developers to speak the same language.

She sold the company a few months ago and already has many ideas about what to do next, among other things she will start a podcast in July about Joyful learning!

She just graduated from the Thnk Program in Amsterdam and shares her experience at the beginning of the podcast. The program helped her understand who she was, how the others were and to stand up for herself.

From there on we talk about:

Julia Cameron and her amazing Morning Pages and Shadow Careers
Improv wisdom with Patricia Ryan Madson
The habit of writing with Steven Pressfield
Melanie’s writing routine
Inspiration vs routine
Self sabotage
What she wanted to do when she grows up when she was still a kid
Art as therapy
Her studies, first jobs and projects
Synchronicities
The steps to build a company
We wonder if work needs to be hard and that kind of became the thread of the conversation somehow (more podcasts coming up about the topic)
Daring to listen to what the heart wants and old limiting beliefs
Joyful learning
Choose your pain
When to be persistent and stick to something
What work is
Is the school system obsolete?
The myth of knowing what are you are gonna do when you grow up as a single thing forever
