Hey friend!
It’s my pleasure to meet you. I’m Mike Flache, and I’m glad you are here. This blog is all about mastering challenges and creating a fulfilling second half of life.
When life keeps getting worse, it's the greatest chance to find your way to satisfaction and fulfillment.
— Mike Flache
By the age of 40, we all know that life and business are not just about going up. In addition to many moments of success and happiness, we also face various challenges: loss, failure, setbacks, mastering our minds, proving our moral compass, or overcoming our stories.
As you might know, the effects can sometimes be quite drastic and change the life we’re used to.
Over the decades, I’ve experienced my blows of fate. Believe me, it was pretty tough at times. On some days, I had the feeling that I couldn’t go on. Anyway, I kept going and learned my most important lesson:
Never give up, no matter how hard life gets
That’s why I came up with the idea for Rising Up Again. Following this motto, I want to share my insights and approach with people who want to overcome challenges and create a passionate and purposeful life from 40 onwards.

A little more about my story
I’m an entrepreneur, business angel, and philanthropist. Together with talented teams, I build and transform digital businesses worldwide.
On my way, I had to face and solve many challenges — be it the abrupt end of my professional sports career as a teenager, the survival of the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004, or the separation from loved ones of my family.
Whether in business or life, each of these experiences has been an invaluable lesson and has made me grow.

In every situation, I was always grateful for any support.
This also applies to the start of Rising Up Again. I want to thank my closest friends from the UK, Switzerland, Spain, Singapore, the US, and Germany for countless conversations, unbroken patience, and deep understanding.
Their appreciation was and will always be priceless for me.

One final thought for you
Creating something new out of a crisis can be quite exhausting — especially when you’re at the end of your first half of life. Suddenly everything can break away that you’ve believed in and built up for many years.
If you go through something like this, I have a wish:
Never give up, believe in yourself, and walk the way to the light at the end of the tunnel.
Always remember, every crisis is an opportunity.
Make the most of it!
Mike Flache
