As part of the „State of Mind“ series, show host Niklas Jansen (Co-Founder of Blinkist) sat down for a personal (English) interview with the Prime Minister a few months before the coronavirus outbreak.

The show, which was produced by Berlin-based companies Invisible Media and Blinkist, tells the personal stories of highly accomplished individuals through an immersive audio experience.

Invisible Media Co-Founder Torge Schwandt describes the episode as follows:

"In the latest episode of State of Mind, you can discover the personal story of Luxembourg’s Prime Minister Xavier Bettel. You will find out why he became a politician, what his personal drive to serving his country is, and why his way of collaborative leadership is a strength in a world that is quickly changing. By shining a light on Mr. Bettel’s background and analyzing his modern style of leadership with the help of some experts, listeners can learn how they can put their ego to the side and focus on their team and the tasks at hand to serve a greater good than personal legacy. The episode is like a short Netflix-type of documentary that you can listen to."

We have seen a lot of Bettel of late, through endless press conferences in which the hard-working PM keeps the country up-to-date. Through this interview, we get to know the man behind the crisis management.
