“A Little Island of Delight” – an Interview with Rainer Kunst for Vivid Magazine

I am not shy to give interviews, but most of the times someone asks me for an interview I wonder if anyone actually is interested in the stuff I am doing. I mean, what am I really doing then? I run an event. Nothing that is really special, is it?

That said, I have learned to embrace if someone comes to me and says that it is “wonderful” or “truly special” and even “life changing”. If those people say that to you, they have a reason to do so. But I really needed to learn this and to then also say “Thanks, that is very kind of you to say” instead of “Well … I just run this bloody event. Anyone else could do this, but thanks.”

Rainer Kunst – an experience event organiser as well, amongst many other things – interviewed me for the April 2025 edition Vivid Magazin. This was absolutely enjoyable and lovely and his questions even made me think again about some of the things I do and how I do them.

You’ll find topics like “How do you find your speakers?” covered as well as “How does this show organised by you solely influence your family life?” or “Marc, what is your superpower?” ;)

I like how it turned out and if you want to read it, please drop in here for the English version and click here, if you want to read the German edition.
