Decisive Podcast Series - Melanie Malike
This is the audio version of a video conversation originally recorded for YouTube.
In this episode, I’m joined by vocalist and songwriter Melanie Malike for a raw and thoughtful conversation about her creative journey. Alongside co-host Zoe Mazah, we dig into what it really means to find your voice, write with purpose, and perform with honesty.

We talk about artistic identity, songwriting inspiration and process, staying connected during live performances, the space between vulnerability and confidence, working with Jan Kinčl, and the growth that comes from navigating creative challenges.

It’s an honest and unfiltered exchange, and a reminder of why we keep having these conversations.

Decisive Podcast Series Episode 106: Lorand Lajos and Franz Schmidt
This is the audio version of a video conversation originally recorded for YouTube.
In this episode, I’m joined by fashion designer and creative director Lorand Lajos, along with his business and creative partner Franz Schmidt. We talk through Lorand’s journey from Transylvania to Munich, including his experience working in haute couture, his creative independence, and how they’ve built something lasting together through the artist collective LOVERS Munich.

We also reflect on his time at Atelier Lemarié in Paris, where he contributed to Alexander McQueen’s final collection, and his collaborations with iconic figures and brands like Lady Gaga, Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Dita von Teese, Swarovski, and Rolls Royce. More than anything, this conversation focuses on creative process, vision, and building a life and community rooted in authenticity.
