S3E14 Bioshock with Daniela Kolikova

In this episode of Bioshock, we explore Daniela’s fascinating double (or triple) life. By day, she works as a biomedical engineer and field service specialist, troubleshooting complex laboratory machines used in blood typing and donor screening—technology that directly saves lives. Outside the lab, she flips upside down on an aerial hoop, performs exotic pole dance in high heels, and teaches kids how to ski. We talk about: Life as a field service engineer and the realities of fixing critical lab equipment The hidden superhero side of blood typing and donor screening Switching from precision engineering to expressive movement and performance Fear, focus, and trust—whether upside down in the air or on snowy slopes How skills like patience, discipline, and body awareness transfer across wildly different worlds What it really takes to balance a high-energy, unconventional lifestyle A conversation about curiosity, courage, and embracing all sides of who you are—without fitting into a single box.
