One year ago, I took a massive leap of faith and started my own business as Freelance Communications Consultant, Writer and Translator. And wow, what a ride it’s been. The main reason for this amazing journey are all the people I had the pleasure to work with, connect with and talk to over the last year. However, as it turns out, I have too many people to thank for LinkedIn's character limit so I wrote an article instead. This article and my heartfelt gratitude goes out to: Johannes Schüßler, Reinhard Pascher and Johannes Maur from Pascher+Heinz as well as Max Schad, Anne John, Verena Wächter and Marvin Stravs Karin Pasterer and Marlene Krug from Tourismusverband Saalbach Hinterglemm Gareth Mills and Michael Mühlegger from Bikmo as well as Anna Vodičková Kirsten Veil-Schmidt and Lisa Kapuscinski from Red Bull Germany Lauren Ring and Emily McJonas form The Work Crowd Thomas Inskip and Katie Matthews from The PHA Group Jessica von der Brüggen from Sixpack Racing GmbH as well as David Assfalg from Propain Bicycles GmbH Tarek Rasouli and Nathalie Tanos from RASOULUTION Michael Hümmer, Richard Bos, Hannes Berger, Boris Beyer, Thomas Schmidt and my amazing dad, Tom Blair, for help, advice, connections or just picking up the phone when some crazy dude called out of the blue.
