inspired by inspired people - the person behind the artist

Wer ist der Mensch hinter den verwirrten Zeilen?In dieser Folge von Inspired by Inspired People treffe ich Finn – den Menschen hinter Verwirrte Zeilen. Finn schreibt Gedichte. Kurze, lange, manchmal leise, manchmal direkt. Er illustriert, erzählt Geschichten und hat mit Poetry Slam angefangen.Seine Gedichte fühlen sich oft so an, als würden sie etwas aussprechen, das wir selbst schon einmal gefühlt haben, aber nie in Worte fassen konnten.Doch in dieser Folge geht es um mehr als seine Texte.Finn erzählt von seiner Kindheit, davon, mit seiner Mama und seiner Oma aufzuwachsen, und von dem Gefühl, manchmal nicht ganz dazuzugehören. Wir sprechen über den Druck, etwas erreichen zu wollen, über Erwartungen, über die Suche nach dem eigenen Platz und darüber, was es eigentlich bedeutet, seinen eigenen Weg zu finden.Eine sehr persönliche, ehrliche und warme Unterhaltung über das Aufwachsen, das Erwachsenwerden, das Gefühl von Zugehörigkeit und die kleinen Dinge, die uns zu dem Menschen machen, der wir heute sind.Und vielleicht findet ihr euch in seinen Worten genauso wieder, wie ihr euch in seinen Gedichten wiederfindet.

In the second episode of Inspired by Inspired People, I sit down with Hakan — spiritual coach, tattoo artist and former creative director — for a conversation that goes far beyond his work.We start with the little things: Is he an introvert or an extrovert? What’s his favourite food? What makes him happy?But the conversation quickly goes deeper.Hakan talks about his childhood, the experiences that shaped him, his spiritual journey, the things he believes in and the moments that have changed the way he sees life.We also talk about what he wants to bring into the world, what gives him energy and what he hopes people take away from his work and his presence.Because behind every artist is a person with a story, a past, a belief system and a world of their own.

Before asking anyone else “Who are you?”, I thought it was only fair to introduce myself.In the first episode of Inspired by Inspired People, I’m sitting in front of the camera to tell you a little bit about who I am, where I come from, what I’ve done so far and what brought me here.I talk about my background, my previous work, my mental health podcast Becky Bubble, and — most importantly — where the idea for IBIP came from.I’ve always been fascinated by people who create things that make me stop, think, feel or see the world differently. Their work inspires me, energises me and makes me curious.But there has always been one question behind that inspiration:Who is the person behind it all?And that question is exactly where Inspired by Inspired People begins.Thank you for being here. I hope you enjoy getting to know me — and I hope you’ll stick around for the people I’m about to introduce you to.And now, let’s meet the person behind the artist.
