Episode Synopsis

Listen to the intriguing narrative of a young professional who might have ended up working in energy or big pharma except that he was a bit 'math phobic,' and who preferred launching a startup to finishing a degree in business. Hear how Raphael reinforced his natural talents at sales (and cycling) from childhood, discovered a passion for new technology almost before the term existed, and parlayed this combination into a successful career in recruiting IT professionals and software sales at a B2B level internationally. His ideal future career aspiration? Well, it's a navigator's dream of alternating arrival and departure, sharing with others and caring for the planet. Along the way, you might also get inspired to try serious sports as a motivational driver for your professional success.---------------------------------------------------------CreditsIntro:Karin HagemannCo-hosts: Stephen Fischer, LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/saffischer⁠⁠⁠Jamshid Asadzadeh, LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/jamshid-asadzadeh⁠⁠⁠⁠ Guest:Raphael PeterMusicTheme music: Inside You - Leva (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/artist/4XWZhZ32YrVV5lvpF7cr1E?si=tnbSklR7SJyPNKiHP4MbHA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Interlude music: Futuristic Beat - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RoyaltyFreeMusic (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://goo.su/janevo)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Outro music: "Cloud Dancer " Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
