and let's say together, nick always talks about community life on the surface. research is now on. the failure can be a key factor in success. just keep on swimming where everyone knows your name, your friendly neighborhood, convenience store, the wind power, controversial, but indispensable. the . ready wind turbines, as far as the, i can see,

i'm 6 more in construction here at mazda 12, when talking to a concert on northeast bowl. and germany is in the midst of a wind energy boom. and the end attack is one of the company's looking to profit. and let's say the weight and together weights of hotel tax is verifiably, the cheapest energy source. and we have in germany. it's relatively easy to harvest . and the telephone's being constructed here are more than 28000 flattening the german landscape. the country is one of the world leaders in wind energy, in 2024 more than 2400 new on show wind turbines were approved by regulators. for companies like enter truck, their challenges beyond the construction which connections and v as the general issue of acceptance on the need to communicate with the various critics in for team into to come to feel that some issue particularly in the surrounding communities. here with groups of the wind industry has been met with resistance. some lifelong

residents are unhappy with energy prices, and the changing face of the region. touched upon landscape is being rooted in turn, wherever you know the wind turbines more and more of them. so you come and tell us that's something positive, hold on one solution. it's pulls it difficult, resident kinda catch one shot. it says the wind turbines themselves, and the problem actually is supportive of renewable energy, but she sees other issues. this problem is adviser, identify the problem, that is the way it's dealt with. the address to the circle home, the population only being properly inform m d m v. you comes in arguments and may i have always been ignored. guy is in my sho, generally chapman. so accepting of wind energy with around 80 percent saying it's so most important and you have the criticism of the industry is being used by some political parties to appeal to folks to and it's not just in germany.

the united states is the 2nd largest wind, producer of to china with capacity having more than tripled between 20102023. the president donald trump has now put supports on permits limiting, so the gross globally, the cost of electricity generated by wind turbines. this folding, solar p, v of winds, now the cheapest sources of energy and they are becoming increasingly important as energy to replace fossil fuels back in germany, the winds of change have impacted communities differently. and god, the time people have learned to accept and even welcomed wind turbine. almost all of the 43 turbines here owned by a local co operative. since filming here in 2023 energy prices have remained low. v as in times it gets done by. we are currently in the process of re powering a wind farm, the bulb in the middle, tune them on the building permit for that new has been approved as all,

without one single objection. this is open the i 9. see, the, i'm off with the, getting the germany's renewable energy little call from companies like kind of tried to make a voluntary contribution of north point $0.02 per kilowatt hour to compensate communities live in close to winning some solar pots. but experts say more needs to be done, and residents exceptions, subsidizing or store meeting to local organizations, local charities to central, making sure the city has enough picks, income, so they can maybe be able to kindergarten or renovate the school. all these things are possible. so there is a very broad range of instruments. it is also possible to offer a little closer share so that they can also invest. and in that sense, also benefit from the revenues and the perfect documents

that will affect the presence of a living nearby. can see the red lights. evidence of the turbines. no turning. they provide an essential source of electricity needed to power homes like on us. she and other residents here want to feel hurt. i'm for change to the local regions and feel shifty. they have to put up with the wind turbines here. the next ones have been built so we won't get rid of them. but that being the case, the local communities should at least benefit from the phoenix, the staff on despite the local criticism, wind power and now it counts for around a 3rd of electricity generation in germany. and it's a figure out that's likely to grow as. ready country continues with this energy transition. ready the in berlin, the convenience store has becomes something of an institution. germany's capital is

filled with over a 1000 of the small shots, off and on every corner. they offer the basics of daily life and often, much more to check on the loot has run his convenient store for 4 years. he's well known and well liked in the neighborhood dropping off the lights. we also do a bit of social work for the people in the neighborhood and keats berlin's convenience store concept originated in the former east germany. the idea was to give workers on the night shift a chance to pick up a few necessities on the way home. to injure keeps his store open until 2 am on weekdays, and 3 am on weekends. supermarkets in germany often close at 8 or 10 pm and are closed on sundays. the shopkeepers always get the short end of the stick. they sometimes work 1415 or 16 hours a day. many convenience stores offer more than just drink snacks and cigarettes.

their owners have to stay flexible to get 5, so they keep finding new ways to make money. as more post office is closed in germany and mail order shopping grows, offering postal services can bring in some extra income. because if you'd, i'd like, did you get about $30.00 to $40.00 euro cents per package is for depending on its size, weight, and where it's going from about 30 to 40 percent of postal customers also pick up something else. so it pays off one. but davosto business by itself wouldn't pay off the posts visit. how's it going? hey, this is the number one guy. yeah. all the people call him uncle bill. okay. yeah. yeah. to find you always meet friends, hear lots with them. that's what i love so much about this base testing this time it has a home, a lot of you know, all the employees and they know you. so you end up talking. what i'll do much is

could you please let me do you want a late night snack? you just pop in hands or the beverage sales, especially beer, are crucial to the convenience store. to survive the we got the new merchandise to our shop is known for having over 250 brands of beer. b, as all a chilled beer after work was what these stores offered in east germany to. in the summer, they almost turned into pubs or by the it. so if you're on your way to a party, you might grab another one for the road. i don't know if i'm in the middle or people gather outside, sometimes 3040 or even 50 people even in winter when it's freezing. people come in for a bottle of beer, not always because they're thursday and so it's a social thing to meet people. sometimes really nice people everyone in the neighborhood depends and to enjoy

a couple of in this team. but my body making some time like kind of i want to go home, but i can no, because people want to chat here, hear them. they come here. we have problems in maybe with their partner, the kids or the neighbors, the phone, and they just need to talk it out to kids. what about why or do you come to the yeah, what about the most of the medium? it happens all the time. well does, could as a test with them, i think it's the same at other convenience stores. thank you. by the non speed is getting all the the kiosk, also known as a refreshment stander. snack bar is the counter parts to the convenience store in many western german cities. many people have childhood memories of them. their numbers are dropped in, but thousands of kiosks are still open in the region. one sort for raji divided his dark min kiosk into sections. is posted the german side, the other side is the persian side almost from by on weekends. one side does better do usually because it might ok against being influenced. sometimes the family from

the home country shows. i mean, the, the other side does better heat these items. one sort for raji is from iran. he's had his shop for 10 years. 3 years ago he added a persian delicacy section and made his kiosk a hub for cultural exchange. if it me, that's what i enjoy selling things from our culture take how many people don't know much about us. and then many people mix up our countries. i'm thinking that iran is a rocky dock of many 100. 20. don't know about our country all. we can do is i want to show our country and culture to as many people as i can to, to buy that will take time. it won't happen over night. i to speak 2 or 3 years aren't enough. i voice off on the sides of the past week. so excuse me, i've got customers. he works and just over 20 square meters of space and stores proud of his selection of over $360.00 items and his customers liked them to of the place. yeah,

this gets since he has everything i can get take on friday. i can get groceries every single home as i come here a lot because the atmosphere is very friendly. it's nice. there's always something new. always something to try. also once a year, months or travels to around to check on merchandise and suppliers, he knows he'll never get rich from his business. no matter how much work he puts in new want to have you. and i only take mondays off because i work 12 hours a day. we're open every day from 10 am to 10 pm, all i only take short vacation. yeah, i can't close for more than a week or 4 or 5 nights because people wouldn't accept that at least these days. most kiosks are run by immigrants like months or he lives right next door. sometimes his daughter comes by after school. he feels close to many people in the neighborhood shop and see low. i deal with lots of people up kids under 10 by

chewing gum gummy bears and other things. and it was asking, commander of the 70 to 80 year olds from a many cultures to live, bought some foreigners, i recognize as neighbors in the doctor's engineers, and so on. educated people and school children to college students. that's what i like most. and i'm just having contact with so many people and i enjoy coming to work every day for michigan. so i like the ologist paul eyes of age knows why kiosks, corner shops and snack bars are so important. the confirm to in their basic function is simple. the convenient shopping nearby, this was especially true for key or someone in the past. ok before the internet or television also was these were places that traded in information about email for newspapers, of course, but also the gossip exchanged between the sellers and customers and views. and he's often amazed at how flexible kiosk owners can be. they have to constantly adapt their offerings to meet changing times, needs and taste of the inside. the business is always under pressure from delivery

service online shopping in supermarkets with longer hours pipe in the home. this is all from us and lindsay disposal. so looks like a bluish of i'll, so the conditions for the business are titled and on to the end of the month. and that presents a real challenge from the moment i also, the homeless regions kiosks have even been declared and intangible world heritage like the kiosk and the convenience store. germany's pub for another hub for daily social interaction. people usually come here after work, but between 20122022. the number of pups in germany dropped by about 30 percent upon the evening investment in the past. a crowded pub on friday night was the rule . now it's more an exception. when that happens, just once a month have been open for half an hour and the pub is packed.

i don't think it will slow down. don't say enjoy a word to spread and people are coming from other villages. that's great. that's true. just as we imagined that besides the customer with a population of about 3000 is in through india and eastern germany, york foster, which was born here and he wants to see a lively community. he's also president of the soccer club. we haven't seen them. we used to have 8 puds. now we have none of them, and that's the same. and the surrounding towns, i'm talking about. the disappearance of pubs, especially in rural areas, is a big problem. installation covered a shortage of workers. there are many causes based months left pub closed in 2022. it's missed by many looking for a solution. local people came up with a new idea. now, the former in some goldman lives and comes back to life once a month. 15 people teamed up to launch the benchmark pub easily, in addition, they do all the work themselves on a voluntary basis. outcomes time on to the small or divide up the jobs differently

each time, depending on who's available. serving customers and supporting beers help washing up or helping in the kitchen. and there's all the prep on thursday and the clean up on saturday. so we're back here early in the morning at 9 o'clock and we'll be picking up benchmark as hell 22 pop evening since 2023. some gardening lives and opens for business every last friday of the month. obviously for us it was important for it to be an event that happens once a month or something that would work for everyone. something everyone could look forward to the things more life and to get than it's to the town. since we don't have a real pub anymore, it's nice to have one every full week. it's really nice. it's just a feeling of togetherness, and it's fun for us because they don't have company like this that have it's,

it's here. and what did they talk about? that's for chess, ellis, we don't argue here. that's the important part. with everyone working, it's all in tears in the town, providing the space. the drinks costs very little. that helps bring people together . the prices and regular pods are relatively high. a be a cost of 4 to 5 year olds these days, probably because of payroll costs. but we're sending drinks to 2 euros, and people really appreciate that. the benchmark pub evening is a huge success. now 2 neighboring towns are adopting the volunteer run pub concept . now just do it for the front of it because it's out town on because i live here bird, we enjoy it. and that's what makes it so nice. the

you don't listen to music. there's no podcasts. there's no secret. netflix, i don't have underwater headphones. it's just purely me, my breast, my stroke and just seeing that line on the button. and that's really meditative, and that actually unlocks a lot of sports and you and in those moments things come rushing through my head in the creative manner or i solve problems in that manner. hi, i'm sarah. i'm the co founder and see of to 0 to recycle these mine batteries. i'm

32 years old. this is my 3rd company, and we are here in munich in germany. i would say like the traditional word of work life balance does not exist for founder. you know, we, we live and re start of i think like what i have to remind myself is, hey, i still have a body, hey, i still have a mental mental health and no way that i have to take care of. there are so many dozens of task every single day, which is firefight thing, things go wrong. he has to stuff and you have to make those calls with those customers or with those suppliers, or gods which are very normal in the sort of life of the my co founder senior. and i, very early on, we united with those we have to fight climate crisis. she has been researching on quite many topics on how to de carbonized industries. she developed the brakes

for technology that allows us now at $20.00 to efficiently extract pcm in the very high recovery rate. so what we do is we take waste batteries and get the critical raw materials outs, right, chemical process. we're not using like less of chemicals. so those kind of like the magic trick we're using organic ad, it says that allows us to avoid any source of chemical waste the during by that and quite many sort of competitions. this one is meaningful and this goes a lot of international attention. this is a global competition just for deep tech starts around the world. and we got the final price, the it's my 3rd company. so what has helped me is a lot of company failures and my past life feeders hard,

right. who do you blame? usually, founders play themselves. so that's what i went through. right. so i start blaming myself. i was not good enough. you started doubting yourself, your self confidence goes down. so i must say definitely a landed in that hole. how did i get out of that whole? i was so my mom and she never understood what i was doing, but then she's like, you know what? why is struggling so much twice a year and company does work. so she was pretty happy that i went back to my master's degree, and that is a save some right the and especially with all the student initiatives here from the technical university. we want so many awards around the world versus other top engineering schools. i think it definitely gave me back self confidence a as an engineer, but also be as a team player and see having fun again and not caring if you fail or not.

i certainly county engineering so you know, i, since day one i face this gap between men versus women in a way we were 11 percent female in my mechanic engineering degree and the very 1st day the men would say, hey, why are you here? sorry that yes they did that. but funny enough, it was the women who did not fail to exam some even remember from school, who was the best in class, a mouse, who was the best in class in physics, in biology, in my situation, it was the girls not to generalize a too much but where i ups are, where a lot of women basically hindered themselves or locked themselves is thinking too much. i think we are fantastic human beings that are able to understand complex

things and thinking sometimes too complex, in a way to having all the scenarios outlines how everything could fail. and that actually stops the screen. in the 1st place. i would say like where most people struggle to start a company is actually starting it. it's a very scary process. i myself, i quit my job to start fundraising. not even knowing if i'm going to do to company or not. and i think like having that well and the detriment nation is super important under self believe the in germany, if you fail, that's the only thing that people talk about, right? so why did you fail or you didn't have the skill set? why did you start company? um, you know, you can start a company one for 40 if you're not experiencing of,

and then when you fail, you know, all of those arguments are slapped into your face, like we told you. so i rather try to hire someone who fails, then someone who hasn't failed, who really has that resilience foster and themselves as well. you can't plan your life to take serendipity as kind of like your guidance. take an opportunity that we're feeling says hey, this is cool. and ignore what society tells you. and just because if i would meet myself in a younger version, i think one thing i would told up person is don't be too harsh on yourself. and anything that you do in life is good enough. like, you know, you have, i, i would say i personally half this pressure to outperform myself every single day. but to whom for why am i doing that? and i see like reminding myself anything that you do be aware,

this is your best and appreciate yourself. and anything that you do is actually fine the, the world of digital games is rapidly expanding, though not for everyone. people who face barriers do so disability are largely excluded. but some game creators are trying to ensure a more level and inclusive playing field. it's pretty tight and here let's move quickly. come on. so most players, video games are a visual experience. this k, this huge peggy who is visually impaired. oh, i bumped into the wall again. the sounds and vibrations of a game. glad to listen to the sounds, help me find it. when i play the game, i rely on the cruise to cues, for example, a fairy or some voice that says,
