We spoke with Sascha Kirstein, Founder & CEO of aclipp - someone who’s been deeply involved in building for PR and communications teams over the past few years. What stands out about Sascha is how close he stays to the actual problems - not just building a product, but really understanding how PR teams work, what slows them down, and where things can be done better. Since 2020, he’s been focused on simplifying reporting and helping teams make their impact more visible and easier to understand.About aclippaclipp is built as an AI-powered operating system for PR and communications teams. It connects to the tools teams already use (monitoring and data sources), enriches media coverage with AI, and turns it into clear, presentation-ready reports and live dashboards. The idea is simple - take away the repetitive work, so teams can focus more on stories, creativity, and the work that actually matters.

David Henzel’s journey isn’t just about building companies like MaxCDN - it’s about figuring out what actually matters along the way. From tech and entrepreneurship to personal growth, he’s someone who openly shares lessons on fear, habits, and living with intention. Today, he focuses on helping people live and lead better lives through his “LoveNotFear” philosophy - encouraging others to make decisions with intention, not hesitation, and to build a life that actually feels right, not just looks successful.David Henzel - Founder of LoveNotFearLinkedIn: David Henzel - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidhenzel/ Website: https://lovenotfear.com/

Douglas works with experienced, non-native English-speaking executives, helping them lead high-stakes conversations with clarity, confidence, and control. His focus goes far beyond language - it’s about executive presence, decision-making, and making sure your message actually lands when it matters most. Originally from South Carolina and now based in Spain, Douglas brings an international perspective that adds another layer to his work. With nearly two decades of experience as an educator, coach, and trainer, he brings a unique mix of linguistic expertise and real-world business understanding. What stood out to us is how practical and honest his approach is - no fluff, just real improvement in how people think, speak, and communicate.  In this conversation, we go deeper into communication in tech, why being understood is harder than it seems, and what actually makes the difference.
