This time, the schuhkurier podcast Auf ein Wort features a shoe retailer power couple. Klaus Ullrich runs the running shoe shop Main Ausdauershop, Heike Ullrich runs the shoe shop Hufnagel. While she comes from a family of shoe retailers and took over the shoe shop from her brother, he, as a career changer, turned his passion, running, into a profession. In a podcast interview with schuhkurier editor Christopher Mastalerz, they talk about what they have adapted and continue to adapt in their shops in order to never stand still. Above all, however, both give an insight into how it felt for them when Klaus Ullrich climbed Mount Everest this year. He spent eight weeks in Nepal and arrived at the summit of the highest mountain in the world on May 21st after 62 hours without sleep. Klaus Ullrich takes you on a journey from Kathmandu via the base camp to the roof of the world. This trip is still part of his thoughts today, and his equipment, with patches from both businesses, is immortalized on a display in his shop. Heike Ullrich, meanwhile, reports on how she experienced the wait for the liberating news of the successful summit arrival. She also reveals which personal Mount Everest she recently climbed and what the two of them are planning next, both professionally and privately.
