100 Episodes of Asking Why: A hundred conversations later, and the question remains the same: why do some of us keep searching?

What Drives the Spiritual Search?
In this milestone 100th episode, Philipp Kobald sits down with Svetlana Ćopić—the first guest he has ever met in real life—to explore why certain people are pulled toward deeper questions, while others move through life without ever stopping to look underneath the surface.

This is a conversation about restless curiosity, the intersection between creativity and spirituality, the growing spirituality marketplace, and the delicate balance between evidence, intuition, and belief.
If you’ve ever lived in the tension between skepticism and longing, between wanting proof and feeling the truth anyway—this episode will feel like recognition.

⭐ What you’ll take from this episode

• Why some people are wired to ask the questions others avoid
• How spirituality and creativity often open the same doorway
• The risks vulnerable people face in today’s booming spiritual industry
• Why birth rituals, de*th rituals, and shared meaning matter more than we admit
• Where evidence ends—and how intuition and faith begin
