A talk about 
rowth – and the whole person
Since 2018 I have been on industry stages regularly: as a keynote speaker, panel host and interviewer. What I bring along are not slides full of trends, but 800+ conversations with people who have actually done it.
Formats
Three ways to get me on 
tage
Depending on what your programme needs – a keynote, a moderated conversation or a podcast interview in front of an audience.
Keynote
A talk on one of the three subject areas – with examples from more than ten years of conversations with founders, board members and researchers.

Panel moderation
Joël has been moderating panels on industry stages regularly since 2018. He knows the topics, the companies and the people – and asks the question nobody else asks.

On-stage interview
The podcast format live: a conversation that goes deep instead of staying on the surface. Also works as the opening or the closing of an event.

What I speak about
The same three axes that digital kompakt turns on. The exact cut always comes out of the preliminary talk – matched to the occasion, the audience and the time slot.
Wealth
How money is made in a digital economy – business models, growth, and what companies really have to understand to get there.
Personality
What successful people wish they had known earlier. On leadership, decisions and the price that success carries.
Health
Why performance starts with the body – and how you stay strong enough to keep all of it up.

Why me
Not a talk from the sidelines
I helped build the digital economy as editor-in-chief and co-owner of Gründerszene, wrote the first large biography of the Samwer brothers in 2014, and since 2015 have been talking week after week at digital kompakt with the people others only talk about. That is the stock a talk is made from.
