#242: Karl Ess - Controversy and Business, Entering Politics, and How Veganism Almost Ruined My Life

The Max Tornow Podcast

I had the pleasure of talking with one of the most known entrepreneurs in the German-speaking market, Karl Ess. He’s a highly controversial figure, so we delved into equally controversial topics – from why Germany is on a downward spiral to discussions about pyramids, aliens, and veganism.

We also touched on how he built his multi-million dollar empire, his plans to enter politics, and wokeism. Be sure to listen to the full episode, this one was a blast ;)
