In this OMR Podcast episode Thorsten Fischer, co‑founder of Flyeralarm, discusses the strategic choices that have shaped his company’s growth. He explains why Flyeralarm focuses its limited marketing budget on high‑impact sponsorships such as the DFB, how he views company valuation – emphasizing profits over multiples – and why acquiring loss‑making print shops is a long‑term customer‑value play. The conversation shifts to employee well‑being, with a plug for the Wellpass corporate‑fitness platform, before diving into Fischer’s hands‑on management style, his reliance on books and biographies (notably Elon Musk) for learning, and his philosophy of giving equity to trusted partners while keeping the core company in his hands. He outlines Flyeralarm’s financing model – high equity, short‑term leasing, and avoidance of bank dependency – and defends an asset‑heavy approach as a durable competitive moat versus asset‑light platforms. Future plans include a cautious US expansion and a 50‑year vision of being the indispensable printer for the market. Finally, Fischer shares personal habits, his love for good food, limited sport, philanthropic work with a children’s foundation, and his belief that a balanced, long‑term life is inseparable from the business.
