Heading to Portugal with a heating unit in the trailer to heat up 500.000 liters of water for sharks might sound a bit crazy. To pass up a suitcase full of money sounds not the least logical and quitting a safe job to face an uncertain future sounds - to put it carefully - somewhat stupid. But precisely these crazy, illogical and barely thought-out things make a success story turn into exactly what this book is about. My name is Christian Chymyn. I haven´t experienced this success story but had the privilege of re-living it. What do you do, when two people want to tell you their story, which you do not want to hear and in a city you don´t want to be in? Normally turn around and drive home. But in my case it wasn´t quite that simple. The city is Augsburg, the two people are Andreas and Helmut - and on the side, they are my employers. They took me with them - actually you could almost say forced me - to spend two days with them in the Swabian Metropolis. Today I can reveal: In the end I have reconciled with the city and heard stories which were worth writing down.
