In the latest episode of the BLACKYAK Made For Missions Podcast, our host Matthias Giraud a.k.a. Super Frenchie talks to exceptional Swiss athlete Patrick von Känel. What drives him? Flying. Not just in the literal sense – but the symbolic one too.
Even as a child, Patrick knew: he wanted to be in the air. At seven, he worked in the Alps to afford his first flight training. At 14, he secretly took off for the first time – two years before the legal minimum age. Today, he’s one of the world’s best speed paragliders.
The conversation dives into his beginnings in the air, mental strength, pushing limits, and the pursuit of freedom. Patrick explains why flying is more than just a sport for him – it’s a way of life.
