Flying Uwe’s parents ran a drug business
In the ZDF program “Turntable“ the fitness entrepreneur gives intimate insights into his family history. Before Schüder became successful, he lived in a six square meter room in Hamburg. His parents had “a drug business” back then, he says.
And that apparently made a lot of money. Once, Schuder says, he found 30,000 German marks (about 15,000 euros) under a mattress. Schüder was enthusiastic about the money. From an entrepreneurial point of view, his father would have had a “good business”, says Schüder.
Schüder also wanted to make money. However, “not the bad way”, as he says in the interview. Schüder later started his YouTube channel and is known as “Flying Uwe” with fitness videos.
