He Quit his Job in Tech in Berlin to Run and Rave

What is it really like to quit a tech job and build a meaningful life in Berlin?

In this episode, Ben shares why he left his career in tech in Germany, how ADHD and burnout shaped his journey, and how focusing on ONE thing completely changed his life.


Living in Berlin can feel overwhelming — endless opportunities, communities, parties, side projects, and pressure to do everything at once. Ben opens up about growing up between Nigeria, the US, and Europe, struggling with ADHD, burnout, and belonging, and how Berlin ultimately taught him an unexpected lesson: doing less can give you more.


We talk about:- Why so many people burn out in Berlin and Germany- ADHD, focus, and the trap of having too many interests- Quitting a tech job in Germany without a “perfect plan”- Building real community in Berlin (beyond nightlife)- Why running became the ONE thing that grounded his life- Work-life balance, saying no, and redefining success in GermanyFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/berlinelsewhere💰 * Start your tax declaration and claim your tax refund with WUNDERTAX.
