About Feel it Max
Feel it Max is a German-language interview show about the inner shape of enthusiasm. Its format is plain but persistent. A guest is asked what excites them most, and the rest of the conversation tries to make that answer feel real. That can mean a story from sport. It can mean a decision to leave one path and step into another. It can mean a moment at the Viktualienmarkt where a smile changes the feeling of a day. The show is most interested in the point where a concept turns physical. Courage is not only a virtue here; it is a rumble before a new life opens. Basketball is not only a game; it is pressure falling away after a defensive stop, the team lifting, and energy rushing forward. Growth is not only ambition; it is the satisfaction of seeing someone become more capable, more honest, or more at home in their own path. Faith is handled personally, with love, stillness, and biblical language appearing through one guest's experience. The conversations do not hurry toward a clean takeaway. They repeat, test, and rephrase. That looseness is part of the appeal. Guests are allowed to sound nervous, surprised, moved, funny, or unfinished. The recurring promise is not expertise but presence. Feel it Max suits listeners who like intimate conversations about motivation without the hard polish of self-help. It is reflective and often emotional, but it stays grounded in ordinary examples: family, friends, teams, work, travel, coaching, coffee, cards, jokes, and quiet moments after a question lands.
Made for: For listeners who enjoy reflective German conversations about emotion, motivation, sport, faith, coaching, and personal growth. It especially suits people who prefer patient, human interviews over polished advice formats.
What sets it apart: The show keeps asking what enthusiasm actually feels like, not just what a guest thinks about it. Its strength is the slow move from abstract themes into body sensations, memories, and small moments that make a feeling tangible.
In their own words
Ich liebe Begeisterung. Ich liebe Flow. Und genau das will ich mit meinen Gästen erleben – live, echt und ungeplant. Ich will ihre Energie spüren, ihre Geschichten hören und sie für dich fühlbar machen. Wir lachen, wir gehen in die Tiefe und wir entdecken den Menschen hinter der Fassade. Und vielleicht spürst du dabei sogar deinen eigenen Flow - oder bekommst den Mut, das zu tun, was dich wirklich begeistert. Vielleicht sogar, deinen eigenen Flow zu suchen. Kein Skript. Nur echte Momente, die man nicht planen kann… und genau die sind doch die besten, oder? Inspiring...
Why you'd press play
A basketball defensive stop becomes your doorway into the oddly serious question of what makes you feel alive.

Wachstum Entfesseln - mit Franzi Bettinger
["Feel it Max brings back Franzi Bettinger, who says she gets the most energy from helping people grow and move from self-doubt to permission.", "She describes a practice coaching session that began with pre-session fear and ended with a client shifting from rational explanation into tears, silence, and relief.", "Franzi traces that style to being the eldest of four children, taking responsibility early, and later working as a personal trainer, systemic coach, company consultant, and private basketball coach.", "The conversation closes with feminism, equal pay, and communication, as Franzi argues for visibility and realism while Max presses on whether extreme change lasts."]
