Speaker 2 (0:01) Hello and welcome to the sales podcast of the selfmade group. I have a very special guest here today. This is Adrian Leimkühler. Hello. Speaker 1 (0:10) Adrian Speaker 2 (0:11) Leimkühler, tell us, Speaker 1 (0:12) what kind of guy are you? What kind of guy? Futuristically, I would say 1.73 m tall, 66 kg heavy, summer like winter. And if I were to describe myself personally, I would say I'm quite versatile and can do a little more than the others. That's my description. The next thing is important, it's well known in Osnabrück, the law, I keep my word. And that's important to me. I put a lot of energy and value into it. I Speaker 2 (0:42) think in the first episode we should focus on who is Adrian Landkühler. So tell us a bit about your youth. To relax the mood. Yes, very Speaker 1 (0:55) good. What kind of guy am I? I'm half German, half Spanish. My mother is Spanish. My father is German. I'm from the countryside. I was born in Hagen. Hagen-Gellenbeck or Ghettobeck is also called. It's also very important. I feel comfortable here. I'm more of a country guy. I also went to Osnabrück quite often, also in my youth. What did I do? I went to elementary school, then to high school, half a year later straight to high school. That was my youth career. I played tennis and then I was quite successful in football. I was very, very successful in football. I started at 9, but then I stopped Speaker 2 (1:41) at Speaker 1 (1:41) 16 or 17 quite Speaker 2 (1:44) early. Speaker 1 (1:44) But that's another story. What Speaker 2 (1:46) were the stages of football? I started Speaker 1 (1:49) in the district club. I went to the highest youth league in the district club in 4.5 years. That was pretty tough. I went directly from the SPV in Denmark to the Victoria. We played the highest youth league. We played against clubs like HSV, Werder Bremen, Kiel and so on. That was the highest league in the SCJ. And that was already a board. I trained a lot and spent more time on the football pitch than at home or in bed. That was actually my home. And ultimately that was my great passion. Speaker 2 (2:35) What would you say, in school, were you good on an average? What were your grades? How did the teachers see you? How was your school life in general? The school life in Speaker 1 (2:45) general was like this. I started to discuss and rebel with the religious teachers in the early days. Because I didn't take things as they were told, also in history class. I was actually quite well known for asking a lot of questions. Speaker 1 (3:01) Unfortunately for my teacher, too. It didn't change in business. I was definitely someone who didn't like it. But it was a matter of fact that I always kept my respect. I would say my school time was influenced by the fact that I was also very much pampered. My grades were over the average. I had a high IQ, about 150 was measured. I was a high school graduate, but I was under pressure for a long time. Speaker 1 (3:31) She wasn't positive for me. I started to think differently. Not on the wrong train or something. I started to smoke in school for a while. And to drink excessively. At 15, 16 I drank excessively alcohol. For over a year. Three days a week. And I asked myself, what is the meaning of life? And I found out that it's not. So I got to that pretty quickly. And my school time... I did two schools, Özedel and Graf-Storfenberg-Gymnasium. I didn't make it to both. I did my bachelor's degree. I Speaker 2 (4:06) did a year of internship, went Speaker 1 (4:07) to Speaker 2 (4:07) 11th grade. Speaker 1 (4:08) I did a year of internship and somehow Speaker 2 (4:09) managed to get a 3.3 bachelor's degree. You can see that I personally don't Speaker 1 (4:16) have Speaker 2 (4:16) a bachelor's degree. But to be successful, the school graduation is not essential. I would like to ask the next question. As Dirk Kreuters says, decision, success. When did the decision, success, come Speaker 1 (4:30) to Speaker 2 (4:30) you? Speaker 1 (4:31) Yes, it came out of the blue. I didn't know that back then, because I wanted to study theology. When I was 17 or 18, because I was actually in peace with myself. I was extremely harassed for a while. It wasn't little, it was so hard that I didn't want to go to school anymore or dared to go out on the street. Cybermobbing and so on, that was there. And I was actually at peace with myself and wanted to settle with him. But somehow I asked myself, is it really that? So do I want to study theology and just lead a withdrawn life? Or do I want to show it to everyone again? And then it was like
