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. So tune in Mindfulness for gamers Shaun Donaghy / Pickaxe Unlock your gaming zen and discover the secret to improved mental health! Dive into mindfulness with guru Shaun Donaghy as he makes understanding meditation easy and fun. Learn to release anxiety and sadness and level up your joy. More than a podcast – it's your ticket to a happier gaming life! SPADE: The Podcast Paul Anthony Henderson Jr SPADE: The Podcast stands as a beacon of hope and understanding, addressing critical mental health challenges within the African American community. SPADE (Suicide, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, and Epilepsy) seeks to shine a light on topics often stigmatized and misunderstood. Our mission is to break the silence surrounding these issues, encouraging open dialogue and fostering a culture of support and education. By providing meaningful resources and sharing powerful stories, we aim to empower individuals to confront these challenges head-on and build pathways toward healing. Mental health is a crucial but often overlooked subject in the African American community. It’s time to dismantle the barriers of shame and stigma, ensuring everyone feels safe to speak their truth and seek the help they need. This podcast is more than just a platform—it’s a movement to spark change, spread awareness, and inspire action within families, friendships, and communities. Healing & Storytelling iamshaerka Life can be hard but thank the Lord we don’t have to go at it with our strength alone. Life with Christ is my trials, tribulations, and testimonies in the race of faith with Christ Jesus. The goal is to get closer to Jesus with bible and life chat. So, let’s talk it out, walk it out and get right with our Lord and Savior of the world. No one is asking you to be perfect, just to try for the Lord. He loved us first, even when we were sinners so it's easy to love Him back. Let’s do life with Christ together!
