Raghunath, formerly known as Ray Cappo, was the frontman of the influential hardcore band Youth of Today, a band whose music and message advocated for a lifestyle free of drugs and alcohol, which resonated deeply with a generation seeking meaning and integrity.

Amir Kassaeis Geschichte startet in den Minenfeldern des Irak-Iran-Kriegs: Nach 18 Monaten an der Front macht sich der 15-jährige ganz allein auf den Weg über die Türkei nach Österreich.

Mit viel Einsatz und – wie er selbst sagt – „deutschen“ Tugenden lernt er innerhalb von vier Monaten Deutsch, macht sein Abitur und geht zum BWL-Studium nach Frankreich.

Es folgt eine Bilderbuchkarriere in der Werbewelt in der er auch zum Enfant terrible wird.

Über drei Jahrzehnte in der Branche wird er nicht nur Chief Creative Officer und Associate Partner bei DBB Deutschland und DBB Worldwide mit über 14.000 Mitarbeitern, sondern räumt auch mehr als 2.000 nationale und internationale Werbepreise ab und verwaltet die richtig großen Budgets.

In seiner Autobiographie "Vom Unsinn des Lebens" blickt er nun auf diese Zeit zurück und inspiriert uns Leser zu einem selbstbestimmten Leben entgegen aller äußeren Umstände.

In dieser Folge sprachen wir unter anderem über:
• einen sehr prägenden Moment während der Zivildienszeit
• Amirs unglaublichen Weg vom Kindersoldaten bis hin zum Kreativchef von DDB Worldwide
• warum wir Risiken in Kauf nehmen sollten, wenn wir an uns / unsere Ideen glauben
• warum es ihm immer egal war, was andere von ihm denken
• Sicherheit versus Risiko
• seine Kritik an der Werbebranche
• was er über den Trend von Nachhaltigkeits-Labels bei Agenturen denkt
• wie es für ihn war, die Reissleine zu ziehen und aus der Branche auszusteigen
• seinen Weg der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung
• warum wir jeden Tag aus der Perspektive eines Kindes leben sollten
• die Entwicklung, dass Personen des öffentlichen Lebens kaum noch anecken
• über den Mythos des Self-Made Man
und vieles mehr...
