What this episode covers

In this episode of Next Chapter, we delve into a full review of 'The Name of the Wind' by Patrick Rothfuss, comparing its epic narrative and richly detailed world to the legendary works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Join us as we explore the life of Kvothe, a character as enigmatic and complex as any from Middle-earth, through his adventures filled with magic, music, and mystery. We discuss Rothfuss's ability to weave deep lore and language into his storytelling, drawing parallels to Tolkien's influence on the fantasy genre. We'll examine the elements that make 'The Name of the Wind' a modern classic and debate where it stands alongside the likes of 'The Lord of the Rings.'

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
