20VC Founder: Harry Stebbings – Media, Venture Capital, & What It Actually Costs to Win
The Gstaad Guy sits down with Harry Stebbings, founder of 20VC and one of the most prolific investors and podcasters in Europe, to explore what separates the people who say they want it from the people who genuinely cannot do anything else. Harry started a podcast from his bedroom at seventeen with no university and no network, built it into an audience of millions and a fund with around a billion dollars under management, and reflects on a career defined by seeing early that media would become venture capital's real differentiator. The conversation gets into the specific signals he looks for in founders and why the usual answers about resilience and discipline tell you nothing. Harry is candid about the costs that come with real commitment, from the friends and birthdays missed to the dissatisfaction he thinks founders have to make peace with, and he is clear about where he draws his own line. He makes the case for Europe over the US, explains why he would rather be relevant than rich, and lays out what he believes is coming next with AI. Fast, unguarded, and willing to be challenged on every point, it is a conversation about ambition, honesty, and what you are actually prepared to pay. Filmed at The Peninsula London.

Bombardier CEO: Éric Martel – Engineering, Craft, & Building the Fastest Aircraft Since Concorde
The Gstaad Guy sits down with Éric Martel, CEO of Bombardier, at the company's completion centre in Montreal with the Global 8000 behind them, to explore how a snowmobile inventor from a small Quebec town became the foundation of one of the world's great aerospace companies. Éric reflects on a career that began on the factory floor and a company whose defining trait is a willingness to take on things it has never done before, from building metro cars without ever having built a train to inventing the regional jet. The conversation gets into what actually separates one aircraft from another once you are past the specification sheet, and why the company still gathers the people who built each plane to meet the family taking it home. Éric is candid about the supply constraints no amount of demand can solve, the buyers now arriving in their twenties and skipping straight to the flagship, and what he looks for in the people he hires across engineering, design and everything in between. Warm, precise, and unmistakably proud of where it is all made, it is a conversation about craftsmanship, national identity, and the pursuit of perfection at scale. Filmed at the Bombardier Completion Centre in Montreal.

Founder of ERG Media & Editor-in-Chief of Type 7: Ted Gushue – Craft, Community, & Making Things for the Obsessed
The Gstaad Guy sits down with Ted Gushue, founder of ERG Media and Editor-in-Chief of Type 7, who publishes hand bound books in the most digital era in history. Having once declared print dead and been proved comprehensively wrong, Ted has built a career around people who care too much about one thing, on the conviction that making something for two thousand obsessives beats selling fifty thousand copies to the indifferent. The conversation gets into where taste comes from and why the objects people love say more about them than anything they say out loud. Ted is candid about the discipline of looking at your own work honestly, about why he has never taken a cut for an introduction, and about the one quality he has found impossible to teach. Warm, generous, and full of opinions he has actually earned, it is a conversation about craftsmanship, obsession, and building things designed to outlive you. Filmed at Mandarin Oriental, Milan.

Guest-Interviews-Host (Special): Alex Ikonn & The Gstaad Guy discuss Love, Success, and What Matters
In a reversal of the usual format, Alex Ikonn, founder of Intelligent Change, turns the microphone on The Gstaad Guy to explore what actually constitutes a life well lived. From repeating a private joke among college friends to a video that circulated by WhatsApp through Gstaad, Monaco, Aspen and New York, The Gstaad Guy traces a path he describes as entrepreneurial rather than creative: not an artist waiting to be heard, but someone watching for the one thing that worked well enough to run behind. The conversation gets into why he spent two years nurturing the character before leaving Apple, and why he rejects the rhetoric urging young people to quit and chase the dream. He is candid about what he has learned from observing people who have achieved extraordinary success, and how consistently their regrets turn out to be human rather than professional. He makes the case for dating your best friend, argues that legacy is a self-serving word, and explains why he would risk his financial success for his family's unity but never the reverse. Reflective and unusually direct about the cost of ambition, it is a conversation about balance, perspective, and voting with your screen time. Filmed at The Peninsula London.

Groot Hospitality Founder: David Grutman – Miami, Hospitality, & Why You Should Take It Personal
The Gstaad Guy sits down with David Grutman, founder of Groot Hospitality and the man many consider to hold the keys to Miami, to explore what it really takes to build places people never want to leave. From working the door to opening Komodo in a space his own friends called dead on arrival, David reflects on a career defined by reading people, spotting trends before they surface, and the conviction that the real reward is not the money but the look on someone's face after a great night. The conversation gets into why festive beats formal in a restaurant, what makes someone a great guest, and how he tells the difference between genuine warmth and someone working an angle. David speaks candidly about playing the long game with people who let him down, the investments that failed alongside the ones that worked, and the wife who calls him a broken butterfly for the boundaries that keep him whole. Warm, perceptive, and refreshingly honest about his own ambition, it is a conversation about hospitality, loyalty, and why taking it personal might be the whole point. Filmed at David Grutman’s Miami home.

Warner Music Group Former CEO & Co-Founder of Waverley Capital: Edgar Bronfman Jr – Conviction, Family Business, & Knowing What You Already Have
The Gstaad Guy sits down with Edgar Bronfman Jr, former CEO of Warner Music Group, and now co-founder of the venture firm Waverley Capital, to explore what it takes to back your own judgement when almost nobody around you agrees with it. From producing his first film at sixteen to running a family business he eventually sold at the top of the market, Edgar reflects on a career defined by early conviction, an instinct for where value was moving before others saw it, and the belief that it does not matter who got you in the door, only what you do once you are in the room. The conversation gets into the years of bad press he absorbed while trading a chemicals stake for the entertainment industry, the difference between unanimity in word and unanimity in spirit inside a family, and why the customer is never wrong about what they want. Edgar speaks candidly about the personal cost of the job and what he gave up to do it, the standard he sets for anyone about to get married, and what he would do differently for the family member who never wanted the company to go the way he took it. Measured, unsentimental, and full of stories he tells without embellishment, it is a conversation about judgement, legacy, and recognising value where others miss it. Filmed at Casa Cipriani New York’s Liberty Corner Suite. Intro ✨🎙️ Anything But Summer Camp 🏕️😏 Why Don't You Produce It? 🎬💡 Forty Thousand Pounds Of Bad Cheques 💸😬 Learning Lyrics To Get A Date 🎵❤️ The Dinner He Had To Pay For 🍽️😅 Three Conditions For His Father 👨👦📋 The File Marked LSD 📁😏 It's All On You Once You're In The Room 💪🎯 The Script His Team Passed On 📝❌ Turn The Car Around 🚗🔄 Recognising What You Already Have 👁️✨ Unanimity In Word, Not In Spirit 🗣️⚖️ Two Kinds Of Consumer Company 🏢🔍 The Loophole Worth 1.6 Billion 💰🔓 Competing With Disney 🏰⚔️ Selling At Forty Six, Not Fifty Six ⏳💼 I Gave Up Friends 😔🤝 When They Invented Marriage, People Died At Thirty 💍⏳ What The Internet Did To Distribution 🌐📦 Why Celebrity Spirits Rarely Stick 🥃⭐ The Customer Is Never Wrong 🛍️✅ À La Poubelle vs. Fantastique 🗑️✨ Learn more about your ad choices.

Golden Goose CEO: Silvio Campara – Culture as Currency, Imperfection, & Why Luxury Can No Longer Rely on Desire
The Gstaad Guy sits down with Silvio Campara, CEO of Golden Goose and one of the most unconventional operators in luxury, to explore what it really takes to build a brand that people feel they belong to rather than simply buy from. From joining a small Venetian sneaker company to leading one of the most recognisable names in the industry, Silvio reflects on a career defined by instinct over convention, an obsession with the people behind the product, and the conviction that imperfection is a position of strength rather than a compromise. The conversation gets into why he believes traditional luxury's reliance on desire is its greatest failure, how culture replaced money as the currency of status, and what a brand actually owes the customer beyond the transaction. Silvio speaks candidly about running a company with no employees but dreamers, why he refuses to let anyone stay one version of themselves, and why he calls himself the chief emotional officer rather than the chief executive. Warm, contrarian, and openly critical of the industry he leads, it is a conversation about ambition, belonging, and why the flaw is the point. Filmed at Mandarin Oriental, Milan. Intro ✨🎙️ Chief Emotional Officer ❤️👔 A Founder Selling A Mission 🚀💡 Betting Everything On Sneakers 👟🎲 Customers Become The Designers 🛍️🎨 Imperfection As Strength 💪✨ A Binary Phone Has No Shades 📱⚖️ Nobody Has Time To Desire ⏰💭 Culture Is The New Currency 🌍💰 Handmade To Break 🤲💥 Disney, Ferrari And Icons 🏰🏎️ Ninety Golden Goose Babies 👟👶 No Employees, Only Dreamers 💭✨ Why 70% Are Women 👩🔍 À La Poubelle vs. Fantastique 🗑️✨ A Message For Students 📚💌 Learn more about your ad choices.
