In the new episode of the WANDERBIRD Podcast, Werner Luidolt – together with Paul Guschlbauer, well known as a former X-Alps participant – talks about his remarkable journey through the world of flight. He shares how flying has accompanied him since childhood: from his first model aircraft, to a record-setting flight in a glider, and ultimately to his deliberate transition to paragliding. For Werner, flying is far more than a sport – it is a central part of his life and learning.

Werner talks about his victory in the legendary Barron Hilton Cup, the insights from gliding that can be applied to paragliding, and themes such as mental strength, decisiveness and the importance of asking “why” rather than “how far” or “how fast”.
Another focus of the episode is the joint book project Wanderbird Strategy, created over two years in close collaboration between Werner and the Viento team. He shares insights into the creative process, the interplay between content, design and mindset – and what, in his view, makes a good book.
