What was it like for you ...? Podcast on business succession in Münsterland
© Münsterland e.V.
Do you want to become an entrepreneur? Good idea! Have you ever thought about business succession? But how does it actually work? What are the pitfalls and what should every successor bear in mind? Our podcast "Company Succession in Münsterland" is about exactly that. And not in theory, but in practice: we talk to those who have shown us the way. Personalities from Münsterland who have already taken this step and taken over a company.
Because there is no one ideal way - each and every one of them has his or her own succession story. In it, entrepreneurs from different sectors tell us why they made the decision they did, what their key to success was and what special features there are when you want to take over a company.
From succession within the family to a takeover that happens externally: With our podcast, we want to bring you closer to the topic of business succession and inspire you: Start your own business, build on what you already have and realise yourself!
It's worth a listen!

Episode 31: Review of the complete season
Unfortunately, this episode is the last one for now. For the finale, Lea, Jennie and Frank from our project team met with Niko and talked about the entire season. We reflected and talked about where the future of the podcast could lie. We asked ourselves our so-called tradition questions and were able to gain even more insights into the beautiful Münsterland. What experiences we and the participants were able to gather during the multi-faceted conversations, what the feedback from the interviewees was like and much more we tell, as always, in this episode.
Episode 30: What was it like with André Keeve?
In this episode we are in Ibbenbüren with André Keeve. André is the internal successor to his parents' software company RHAPSODY. In addition to its location in Ibbenbüren, RHAPSODY is also represented in Hamburg. Among other things, the company offers CRM and customer relationship management software in the B2B sector and has done so for 38 years. André already had many professional stations and had gained experience both at home and abroad. However, he increasingly wondered where the business journey should still go and finally decided on an internal company succession. In this interview, André tells us about his experiences during this handover process, how his decisions and changes in the company have shaped it and its employees, and much more.
