A big thank you to both of you for taking the time to conduct this in-depth interview with us!

You moved from Germany to Los Angeles – what were the biggest differences and challenges for you?

Oh yes… the differences are huge – and not just administratively! Dealing with authorities here is a real test of patience. Anyone who complains about Germany should try applying for an ID card in the USA – good luck with that! LOL

But the biggest cultural difference? Definitely the mentality! We Germans are used to 07:00 meaning being ready at 06:45. Here on the West Coast, the motto is more like: “If not today, then tomorrow.” 😅
And then there was the work visa – an incredibly expensive and arduous process. We had to overcome countless hurdles, submit tons of documents, and have a lot of patience just to be able to work legally. It was a tough fight, but we made it through!
Patrick has even become known as “The General” because he insists on structure and punctuality. It took a lot of effort, but in the end, discipline pays off – even in L.A.!

How has the industry changed over the years, and how have you adapted?

If you look closely, the business itself hasn’t changed much – only the medium has evolved. The demand is there, the content is there, but the way it is consumed and marketed has changed completely.
Of course, we have adapted our infrastructure and strategy to these changes. Technologically and business-wise, we have always made the right investments at the right time and adjusted our team accordingly. Flexibility is key here.

Patrick always says: “Adapt to the situation” – typical military mindset! 😉 And that’s exactly our secret to success: recognizing changes early, keeping up, and always staying one step ahead.

Are there any taboos or no-gos you have set for yourselves in the industry?

Absolutely! Respect, safety, and authenticity are our top priorities. We have clear personal boundaries that we never cross – and that applies to both our content and our interactions within the industry.

What is an absolute no-go for us:

❌ Disrespect or pressure on performers – Everyone should feel comfortable in their job, and no one should be coerced into anything.
❌ Unprofessional behavior – We work with passion, but also with structure and high quality standards.
❌ Cheap scandals at any cost – Sure, attention is part of the business, but we focus on genuine quality rather than artificial drama.

We love soccer and have always learned a lot from big clubs – especially when it comes to teamwork, discipline, and professionalism. Negative issues are never aired publicly; we solve challenges internally and with respect. Moreover, youth protection is extremely important to us. We ensure that our content is only consumed where it is legally and morally appropriate. Responsibility is simply part of this industry.

An important part of our success is our corporate principles, which we consistently follow:

✅ Respect and fairness – Everyone we work with deserves recognition and professional treatment.
✅ Quality over quantity – We prefer to invest in sustainable and high-quality productions rather than quick, random content.
✅ Discretion and loyalty – Internal matters stay internal because trust is the foundation of strong collaboration.
✅ Continuous development and innovation – We never stand still. We always adapt to new challenges and technologies.

From the very beginning, it was clear to us: We do this on our terms and with a positive mindset. And that is exactly our recipe for success.

What do you think about platforms like OnlyFans? Are they more of an opportunity or a challenge for established performers?

Definitely an opportunity! The same goes for artificial intelligence (AI) – these are technological and business changes that need to be approached correctly.

OnlyFans has revolutionized the industry because it provides independence. Performers now have the opportunity to build their own brand, maintain direct contact with their fans, and decide for themselves what they produce – without middlemen.

Of course, this also comes with challenges: self-marketing, content strategy, and technical implementation require knowledge and discipline. But those who embrace it and work professionally can earn more in the long run and have more control over their careers.

We see it this way: Those who recognize the signs of the times and adapt will win. And that’s exactly what we do! 🚀

Is there a new business idea or project you are currently working on that you can tease?

Oh yes, we have some really exciting projects in the works! 🚀

1️⃣ New series productions – We are currently filming six new series that bring fresh concepts and exciting storylines to the industry. We focus on high-quality production and innovative content.
2️⃣ AI as a future technology – At the beginning of 2024, we launched a strategic AI project with EVA AI. AI will play an increasingly important role for us not only in production but also in marketing and sales. We see this as a huge opportunity to work even more efficiently and creatively.
3️⃣ Side business for models – We commissioned an exclusive study (which, by the way, wasn’t cheap – lol 😆) and discovered an interesting connection: adult content consumers and supplement customers often have the same profile!
➡️ That gave us the idea to collaborate with ZINZINO and set up an MLM sales system that provides models with an additional income source – directly reaching the fans they already engage with on social media.
4️⃣ All-in-One Billing & Finance Agency – We founded our own billing and finance agency to offer models a complete all-round package for accounting, taxes, and marketing. The idea: Everything from one source! This way, they can fully focus on their careers without having to deal with bureaucratic hassle.

In short: We are not just evolving, but actively shaping the future of the industry. 💡🔥

Relationships & Private Life

How was the transition from Germany to L.A. for you as a couple?

Phew, what can I say… It was a huge adventure! Of course, many things were exciting and new – the weather, the opportunities, the energy of this city. But there were also challenges, especially in the beginning.

In Germany, we were a well-coordinated team, had our routines and our environment. In L.A., we had to build everything from scratch – from dealing with authorities to adjusting to a new way of working. The mentality here is just different: In Germany, punctuality is sacred; here, the motto is more like “If not today, then tomorrow.” 😅
As a couple, it only brought us closer together. We had to support each other, make decisions together, and sometimes just laugh at the American bureaucracy madness. 😆

Today, we can say: L.A. has become our home – not just professionally, but also as a couple. We love the city, the opportunities, and especially the journey we have made together.

Many couples struggle with living and working together – how do you keep your relationship strong?

Yes, we are familiar with this problem – and sometimes we also wonder how we keep managing it. 😅 Of course, there are occasional clouds in the sky, but somehow we always find common solutions.

I think the secret to our 20-year relationship is simple: TRUE LOVE. ❤️ We are not just partners in life and business but above all best friends who strengthen and respect each other. One important aspect is that we give each other space. Even though we work together a lot, we consciously take moments for ourselves – whether it’s sports, a hobby, or simply disconnecting without business talk.

At the end of the day, we always remind ourselves: Our relationship comes first. No business, no stress, no project is worth risking that.

Do you have strict rules to separate private and professional life? When are you a manager and when a husband, or is there no such clear separation?

No, not really… we just do it! 😄 We have never set strict rules like: “Now we are in business mode, now in private mode.” That wouldn’t be practical for us because our life and work simply intertwine.

Of course, there are moments when we consciously focus on ourselves as a couple, whether it’s an evening without business talk or simply a short break. But overall, it works for us because we are a well-coordinated team and our roles naturally complement each other.

Patrick always says: “If you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work.” And that’s exactly how we live it. We are fortunate to not only respect each other as partners but also as business minds – and that creates the perfect mix.

With our employees, we always present ourselves as a team and try to integrate our way of life directly into our leadership structure. Our motto is clear: Lead by example – we don’t expect anything from others that we don’t practice ourselves. This mindset creates trust, motivation, and a strong team spirit – and that is extremely important to us.

How do you handle public attention – especially critical or curious comments?

Always with respect and openness – but also with a healthy dose of humor. If you are in the public eye, you have to handle opinions and criticism. If you can’t take it, this job is not for you. We always respond openly to well-founded, constructive criticism. We listen, reflect, and use feedback when it makes sense. Especially in our industry, it is extremely important not to reinforce clichés but to present ourselves with professionalism and integrity.

Fame comes with responsibility – and we take that seriously. I even took a course to learn how to best handle public reactions and personally cope with them.

We have also learned: If people are talking about you – whether positively or critically – it means you are making an impact. And that is ultimately a compliment. You don’t have to please everyone, but you should always stay true to yourself.

Are there specific values or principles that make your relationship particularly strong?

Definitely – our relationship is based on clear values that have kept us together for over 20 years:

✅ Honesty & Trust – Without these two things, nothing works. We can always rely on each other, no matter what happens.
✅ Openness & Communication – We talk about everything. Good times, bad times, challenges – there are no taboos between us.
✅ Courage & Innovation – We dare to take new paths, whether in our relationship or in business. There is no stagnation.
✅ Hard Work & Discipline – Success doesn’t come by itself. We work hard for what we have built – but always with passion.
✅ Making mistakes – and learning from them – No one is perfect. Mistakes are part of the journey as long as they help us grow.

These values are the foundation of our relationship – they make us unbeatable as a couple and as a team. ❤️💪

What was the craziest or most beautiful experience you had together in L.A.?

Oh, there have been so many unforgettable moments… Especially in the beginning, everything was super exciting because every day here offers a new opportunity – you just have to see and seize it. That’s the biggest advantage of L.A.: If you’re open to possibilities, your life can change completely from one moment to the next.

And of course – when you live in Hollywood and build a social network, it’s inevitable that you meet extremely famous people – and sometimes, real friendships develop.

Out of respect, I won’t mention any names – but let’s just say:
Back in the day, I had posters of these people on my wall – today, they sit at my table! 😆🔥
But you know what? As a general once told Patrick during his military service:
👉 “At the end of the day, everyone bends their knees the same way.” 😂💩

No matter how famous or successful someone is – in the end, we are all just people. And that’s what makes these encounters so special.

Social Media & Influencing

You are both very active on social media – how important is that for your careers?

Social media makes up at least 60% of our success! 💯🔥 In our industry, it is not just a platform but the most important tool for building reach, community, and brand awareness.

According to a recent study by Influencer Marketing Hub, over 78% of creators in adult entertainment earn the majority of their income through social media platforms – whether through direct monetization, collaborations, or traffic to premium platforms. That shows: If you are visible, you earn. If you are not visible, you practically don’t exist in this industry.

Previously, big studios and productions were crucial – today, your social media presence determines how successful you are.

Platforms like Instagram, X, TikTok, and OnlyFans allow us to connect directly with fans without relying on third parties.

But it’s not just about reach, it’s also about storytelling and branding. Those who manage to stay authentic and consistently present remain relevant. We are not just performers – we are entrepreneurs, content creators, and brands.

Of course, there are challenges – algorithms, shadowbans, platform policies – but those who adapt and recognize the trends of the times stay at the top.

In short: Without social media, we wouldn’t be where we are today. 60% of our success is based on the right strategy, consistent content, and genuine community engagement. 🚀📲

Ulf, you have built an impressive reach as an influencer. How did that happen, and what motivated you?

In the beginning, social media was just fun for me – posting a little, sharing impressions, interacting with people. I didn’t overthink it; I just did what felt right.

Then there was this one moment that opened my eyes:

“I need for your verification: – ID card – social media account Xoxo Patti”

That’s when I realized: Social media is more than just a few pictures and likes. It’s power, influence, and the opportunity to do your own thing.

I started delving deeper into strategies, reach-building, and branding – and suddenly, it took off. I saw that social media is a real business factor, one that allows you to build your brand, set trends, and reach people.

Today, social media is far more than just a platform for me – it is the center of our career. It allows us to be independent, engage directly with our community, and reach exactly the people who are interested in us. And the best part? We have full control over it! 🚀🔥

Texas Patti, how has social media affected your career – more of a curse or a blessing?

Definitely a blessing! Sure, there are challenges – shadowbans, algorithm madness, and of course, haters. But if you use social media correctly, it’s the biggest opportunity of our time.

The moment I realized how powerful social media truly is?

“I need for your verification: – ID card – social media account Xoxo Patti”

That’s when I understood: Without social media, you don’t exist in this industry. It’s not just a marketing tool; it’s your personal stage, your own platform, and your direct connection to the community.

In the past, you were dependent on studios, producers, or media – today, you can create your own brand. No one decides your success but you. That is the true revolution of social media.

Of course, there are challenges:

❌ Haters & Shitstorms – They come with the territory, but if you polarize, you stay in the conversation.
❌ Algorithm chaos – Suddenly, your posts are no longer being shown? Welcome to the social media world.

But the advantages outweigh the challenges:

✅ Full control over your own career
✅ Independence from traditional structures
✅ Opportunities to monetize reach directly

Today, I know: Social media is my biggest business tool. It accounts for at least 60-70% of my success, and those who use it wisely can take their career to an entirely new level. 🚀🔥

How do you decide which brands or partners to collaborate with?

The most important prerequisite is that a partner thinks strategically, has a long-term vision, and brings real influence. Short-term collaborations that are only about quick profits don’t interest us – we focus on sustainable partnerships that further enhance Patti’s reputation and our brand.

What we pay special attention to:

✅ Long-term vision & strategy – We want partners who aren’t just looking for a quick deal but who want to grow with us.
✅ Market strength & marketing budget – Great ideas are useless without strong marketing support. A partner must be willing to invest in reach, branding, and visibility.
✅ Image & influence – Every collaboration must strengthen our brand and further build Patti’s reputation. We only work with companies that align with our philosophy and values.

Of course, we also evaluate the authenticity of the brand, the business model, and the potential for real synergies. Because in the end, it’s not just about the financial aspect – it has to be the right fit for both sides to benefit. 🚀🔥

Have you ever received a particularly crazy or unexpected partnership request?

There were many exciting requests, but one that really stood out was a partnership offer for a Texas Patti ice cream flavor! 😅 A major manufacturer wanted to create a limited edition with a “hot” branding – including a spicy chili flavor. The idea was funny, but we thought: “Would anyone really buy Texas Patti ice cream in the supermarket?” 😂

Not exactly crazy, but a request we deliberately declined was a partnership with a football club. Why? Because 90% of a football club consists of young people, and that just wouldn’t fit our brand. We place great importance on responsibility and strategically meaningful collaborations – and this was definitely not one of them.

On the other hand, there are also collaborations that are a perfect match – for example, the Cologne-based food chain “Früh bis Spät” now has its own Texas Patti burger on the menu! 🍔🔥 Even a major hamburger chain showed interest in working with us. This shows that our brand is now being recognized in completely different areas – and that’s what we find exciting!

Sometimes, it is just as important to say no as it is to enter the right partnerships.

What is your most important tip for people who want to establish themselves as influencers or content creators?

The most important tip: Treat it like a real business! Many start as influencers or content creators thinking it’s all about fun, selfies, and likes. But the key to success lies in strategy, discipline, and perseverance.

Here are the 5 key factors to truly establishing yourself sustainably as a creator:

1. Authenticity is your greatest asset

➡️ People follow you because they like you – not because you’re trying to be someone else. Be real, embrace your personality, and build a community that connects with you.

2. Quality over quantity (but consistency is king)

➡️ It’s not enough to post occasionally. The algorithm loves consistency. Post at least 3-5 times a week, but make sure the content is high-quality and engaging.

3. Know your target audience & be strategic

➡️ Who is your target audience? What do they want to see? Create content that adds value – whether it’s entertainment, knowledge, or inspiration.
➡️ Use data & analytics to see what works and optimize your strategy.

4. Multi-platform presence & diversification

➡️ Don’t rely on just one platform! TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X (Twitter) – each platform has its own audience and dynamics.
➡️ Additionally: Develop income sources such as your own products, partnerships, or memberships (e.g., Patreon, OnlyFans, personal websites).

5. Community & engagement are key

➡️ An influencer without a community is just a person with followers. Engage with comments, build real connections, interact with your audience.
➡️ Social media is not a one-way street – the more you engage with your community, the stronger your brand becomes.

Bonus Tip: Have patience & always keep improving

➡️ Success as an influencer doesn’t happen overnight. The biggest creators have spent years consistently producing content, evolving, and learning from mistakes.
➡️ Those who persist, continually improve, and adapt to new trends will achieve long-term success.

💡 Conclusion: Successful influencers are not the ones with the best content – they are the ones who consistently deliver, act smartly, and build genuine connections.

Fitness & Health

Ulf, you have fully embraced the fitness lifestyle in recent years – what inspired you?

First and foremost, I have always been very athletic. With 12 years in the military, I was taught from an early age that physical fitness is not only crucial for health but also has a direct impact on discipline, performance, and success. Discipline is the key, and it doesn’t just apply to the body – it also influences professional and strategic processes.

Fitness as a Success Factor for Body & Mind

➡️ Physical fitness is directly linked to mental performance. Studies show that regular exercise can increase cognitive ability by up to 20% by improving oxygen flow to the brain and enhancing neural connections.
➡️ High fitness levels boost resilience & stress resistance. Those who push their physical limits can handle professional pressure without burning out.
➡️ A fitness lifestyle sharpens focus on goal achievement. Whether in business, content creation, or strategic decisions – a strong body means a strong mindset.

Leading by Example – No Room for Double Standards

Another crucial aspect is leading by example. I can’t expect Patti or the models (whether female, male, or otherwise) to maintain a great physique while letting myself go. Credibility comes from genuine commitment.

Moreover, we know that the body and mind are closely connected. Those who perform at a high physical level make better decisions, work more efficiently, and stay focused – and that’s exactly what drives me as an entrepreneur.

Fitness as a Professional Discipline – Not a Hobby, but a Requirement

For me, fitness is not a hobby; it is a core discipline in my professional approach.

➡️ The body is our tool, our business card, and our brand. Anyone who wants long-term success in this industry needs to understand that.
➡️ In my opinion, the body (the “report”) accounts for at least 50% of the profession. Without a professional appearance and strong physical presence, it is hard to sustain success.
➡️ Fitness is not an extra but a necessity. It’s not just about “looking good,” but about developing mental and physical strength that directly translates into professional success.

Fitness & Strategic Work – Optimization in All Areas

I am obsessed with optimizing work processes and structures for efficiency – and the same applies to fitness.

➡️ Exercise not only trains the body but also cultivates a strategic mindset. Planning, consistency, and measurable progress are just as important in training as in business.
➡️ Biohacking & recovery are keys to long-term success. I focus heavily on recovery strategies, optimized nutrition, and sleep because true performance is not just built in the gym but through an entire lifestyle.
➡️ Time management & efficiency: Training must be integrated into daily life. I use high-intensity methods and strategic recovery to maximize results with minimal time investment – just like in my professional workflow.

The Underrated Game-Changer: Omega-3

By the way – a total game-changer for athletic success is Omega-3. It not only improves recovery, reduces inflammation, and optimizes brain function but also significantly enhances muscle performance and endurance.

💡 Conclusion: Fitness is not a hobby for me, but an essential part of my profession. Discipline in the body translates to discipline in business – and that’s what separates the average from true high performance.

What does your daily routine look like to stay in top shape?

My routine is completely optimized for performance – physically, mentally, and professionally. Fitness is not a hobby for me; it is a core part of my profession. Discipline and structure are the foundation for success, whether in the gym or in business.

A moment that showed me the importance of clear focus was when everything felt overwhelming.

That’s when I realized: If you are not organized, others will control your life. So, I optimized my daily schedule so that productivity, fitness, and recovery work perfectly together – something I learned well in the military.

My Daily Routine for Maximum Performance

🕔 05:00 – Wake Up
➡️ No wasted time. Start the day immediately.
🕠 05:30 – Breathing Exercises, Stretching & Coffee
➡️ Deep breathing techniques & stretching to wake up the body.
➡️ First coffee, but controlled.
🕕 06:00 – Office Part I

Why This Structure Works:

✅ No wasted time – every minute has a purpose.
✅ Mental & physical fitness are directly connected.
✅ Recovery is just as important as productivity.
✅ Strategic work & training follow the same principles.

💡 Conclusion: Discipline beats talent. Structure beats chaos. Those who use their body and mind as a precise machine will succeed in all areas of life.

Texas Patti, what is your stance on fitness and a healthy lifestyle?

Basically the same as Ulf – fitness and a healthy lifestyle are not an option for me, but a necessity. Especially in our profession, the body is a direct reflection of our discipline, commitment, and brand.

I learned early on that physical fitness and mental strength are directly connected. Those who feel fit make better decisions, are more resilient, and have more energy for their projects. That’s why fitness is as much a part of my daily routine as business – it’s not an annoying duty, but a clear priority.

Ulf, you have a partnership with Zinzino – how did that come about, and what fascinates you about their products?

The collaboration with Zinzino didn’t happen by chance – there’s a clear strategy behind it. I took a deep dive into the purchasing behavior of our industry and found that adult entertainment consumers and supplement customers often have very similar interests.

👉 Both target groups are health-conscious, performance-oriented, and invest in themselves – whether for their appearance, energy, or well-being.

That gave me the idea to integrate Zinzino as the perfect addition to our business model. Their products are not only high-quality but also scientifically backed – something that is extremely important to me.

Why is this so important?

In the adult entertainment industry, we are increasingly facing challenges – whether through platform regulations, new laws, or changing market conditions. It’s becoming harder to rely solely on this business in the long term.

Additionally, time is ticking for every talent – no one gets younger, and eventually, the question arises: What comes next?

That’s exactly why I see Zinzino as a secure opportunity to build a second income stream that operates independently of platforms or external influences.

But it’s not just about me: I wanted to give all models and creators the opportunity to build an additional source of income with their own side business. Why not leverage what is already there – the existing fanbase and reach?

💡 My motto: If you want a smart, passive business – let’s go! 🚀🔥

Do you have any specific nutrition or fitness rules as a couple?

Definitely – for us, nutrition and fitness are not trends but integral parts of our lifestyle. We believe that physical performance is directly linked to mental and professional efficiency. That’s why we have clear rules to stay in top shape.

What’s your favorite cheat meal when you’re not in the mood for healthy food?

💥 Patti: Definitely a Texas Patti Burger 🍔🔥 (which you can get at “Früh bis Spät” in Cologne 😏) and a really good pizza with extra cheese. I just love it!

🌮 Ulf: I’m more of a bakery and Mexican food type – fresh bread rolls for breakfast or a huge Streuseltaler are my absolute weaknesses. And when I crave something savory, I love Mexican food, especially with lots of guacamole and spicy tacos.

💡 Conclusion: Even though we maintain a strict diet, cheat meals are essential – because, at the end of the day, life is about balance and enjoyment. And let’s be honest: What would life be without good food? 😜🔥

Personal Questions & Fun

If you had to swap careers for a week – what would happen?

💥 Patti as Ulf:

I would probably turn Ulf’s visions into to-do lists and financial plans, enhance his training with smarter recovery strategies, and ensure that every business idea turns profitable immediately. And, of course, every workout would come with an Excel sheet featuring revenue projections. 😆

💼 Ulf as Patti:

I would first draft a future strategy for the next 10 years, scale all income streams, and make sure the business grows globally. On the side, I’d introduce new training routines for models – because, why not? 💪😆

😂 Conclusion:

We don’t really need to swap roles – we already complement each other perfectly. Patti makes things concrete & profitable, while Ulf brings vision & strategy. That’s exactly why it works! 🚀🔥

Do you have a ritual that connects you as a couple?

Yes, and it’s something truly special. Whenever everything feels overwhelming, when our heads are full and business takes over, Ulf has this one gesture:

He looks at me, winks, and I immediately know what it means. Without saying a word, I walk up to him – and then we dance. No music. Just us.

No business, no plans, no stress – just the two of us, like a couple in love amidst the chaos. And that’s exactly what I love about it. 🖤💃✨

Who is more disciplined – in business, fitness, or daily life?

ULF

What rumors or clichés about you annoy you the most?

Oh, there are quite a few – and we often laugh about them. But some classics do get annoying:

😂 1. “They just party all day and have fun!”

Sure, our business must run itself while we sip cocktails. In reality, we work 12+ hours a day, optimize strategies, manage deals, and put immense discipline into everything we do.

💰 2. “Everything was handed to them on a silver platter!”

Absolutely! We just woke up one day, and everything was perfect. No – it took years of hard work, risk-taking, perseverance, and countless decisions that no one saw.

💑 3. “Ulf is just Patti’s manager” / “Patti does everything alone”

Classic! The truth is, we are a perfect team. Patti is the structured finance boss, and Ulf is the visionary and strategist. One without the other? It wouldn’t work!

👀 4. “They do everything just for attention!”

Yeah, because faking our entire lives would be so smart. We are 100% real, we love what we do, and if that brings attention – even better.

🚀 Conclusion:

There are plenty of rumors, but at the end of the day, we know exactly who we are, what we’ve achieved, and why we’re here. And for anyone who really thinks we just party all day – feel free to shadow us for a week. 😆🔥

If you could travel back in time – is there a decision you would make differently?

Patti: Yes, absolutely – I would have loved to meet Ulf six years earlier. 💖

Not because things were bad before, but because I know how much we have achieved together and what an unstoppable team we are. With six extra years, we probably would have built an empire on Mars by now. 😆🚀

Ulf: And I would have probably already made an Excel sheet calculating exactly when we should have met for maximum business impact. 😂

💡 Conclusion: There are always things you could have done earlier – but in the end, everything happened exactly as it was meant to. And that’s what matters.

What’s the best thing about living together in the USA? And what do you miss most from Germany?

There are many reasons why we love living in the USA:

➡️ No envy, just opportunities – Here, success is celebrated, not viewed with suspicion.

🚀 Daily opportunities – If you have an idea, you get the chance to implement it without immediately hearing: “That won’t work anyway.”

🌍 The diversity of the country – The USA is vast and offers an incredible variety of landscapes, cultures, and opportunities. (Though, to be fair, Germany has a lot to offer too!)

The biggest difference?

In Germany, people often say: “Dreams are just illusions.”
In the USA, they say: “Great idea? Let’s go!” And if it doesn’t work? Dust yourself off and keep going!
In Germany, you’d instead hear: “See? I told you it wouldn’t work!” – That’s the key difference in mentality.

What do we still miss?

🇩🇪 Bread, rolls & Streuseltaler – Sorry, but you just can’t replicate them here.
🏡 Family & friends – As great as it is here, home is home.
🍻 German coziness – Sometimes, we miss that “having a beer together and just chatting” feeling.
💡 Conclusion: The USA is a land of opportunities – but our roots and our favorite bakery will always be in our hearts.

What are your biggest personal dreams or goals for the future – both professionally and personally?

If you ask about our WHY… we can say: In terms of our relationship, we already have everything we’ve ever wished for. ❤️
Our vision goes beyond what we’ve built so far – it’s a project called BLUEBUBBLE.
🌿 Imagine a vast field. REALLY vast. On it, tiny houses, each with its own function:

• 🏋️‍♂️ A gym for physical and mental strength.
• 🏡 Houses for a shared, self-determined life.
• 🔥 A center for community, exchange, and ideas.

And the best part? Surrounded by people who share the same vision.

• 🔹 People who want to be independent but still have a strong network.
• 🔹 People who understand that success isn’t just about business but also about quality of life, community, and self-realization.
• 🔹 People who actively shape their lives instead of just going with the flow.

Because, at the end of the day, our biggest dream is simple:

👉 Sitting together on a porch swing at 100 years old, looking at each other and saying: “Remember when?” 😌❤️

💡 Conclusion: BLUEBUBBLE is more than just a place – it’s the idea of combining life, freedom, and success in a new kind of community. And that’s our big goal for the future.
