From the movie theater to my podcast - meet Carlo Loiudice. Join this inspiring journey with Carlo as he shares the incredible story of his leap from Southern Italy to the vibrant city of Berlin 12 years ago. Imagine moving to a new country with no job, limited language skills, but a dream to live in this multicultural city, Berlin. Carlo's story is a testament to the fact that you don't need everything figured out; all you need is an internal desire and the willingness to be flexible and adapt. 

At 37, Carlo challenged conventional wisdom, proving it's never too late to move abroad, no matter the age. However, it wasn’t all fun and games. Join us as he reflects on his first weeks in Berlin, the highs of excitement, the lows of frustration, and the moments of feeling like he'd ruined his life. From unconventional jobs to establishing a career as a German actor without mastering the language initially, Carlo's journey is a lesson in resilience and determination. Nowadays, he can proudly say that he’s built himself an unconventional career in Berlin, working remotely as an actor, life coach, and public speaking coach.  

Listen closely as he unravels the cultural shocks he encountered in Germany, shedding light on the nuances of German directness and navigating the labyrinth of German bureaucracy. 

Besides all the initial challenges, Carlo has never looked back, never regretted his choices, and never considered returning to Italy. His perspective on the importance of living in different European countries adds a compelling layer to this episode, inviting you to contemplate the enriching experiences that await those who dare to step outside their comfort zones. Join us for an episode that proves the beauty of embracing the unknown and finding success in the most unexpected places.
