At five, I wanted to be a professional footballer.
At eighteen, I played for the East German junior national team —
until an injury ended the dream.

Early on, I learned:
life doesn’t follow plans.
Then came the fall of the Wall —
politically and personally.

I became a banker. Built a career.
Branch manager. Top advisor.
Advisor to the advisors.
The suit fit. The numbers added up.

But the higher I climbed,
the clearer it became:
I was no longer advising. I was selling.
And what was right for the client
rarely matched the bank’s bottom line.

So I pulled the plug.
And lost almost everything —
except my integrity.

I started over.
I travelled, researched, listened.
Spoke with thousands of investors.
And realised:
It’s not returns that matter.
It’s maturity.

The best investors don’t think in quarters —
they think in decades.
They don’t chase trends.
They follow themselves.

Today, I work with people
who are seeking clarity —
not products.
Who are ready to take responsibility —
not just grow their money.

I’m not the one who shows up
when everything is going well.
I’m the one who stays —
when others walk away.

Because in the end,
it’s not the wealth that endures —
but how you’ve stewarded it.
