Background:
At the beginning of this week (March 16th to be exact), it became obvious to me here in Munich, Germany, that the Corona Virus will severely impact our lives. While I was working from home already for more than a week, suddenly the schools closed and our three kids were also at home.
This special episodes are recorded directly by former interviewees and I kept artwork and editing to a minimum to get these out as quickly as possible. I hope that many will find these snippets interesting and will find a helpful resource and tipps in these challenging times!
