Everything Comes From Nothing | Zero Plus with Sachin Sharma - Ep 258 Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

On this week's episode I am joined by my friend and coach Sachin Sharma in the first of a series of podcasts in which we will be sharing our insights and experiences through our day-to-day lives.
In this episode we are exploring the idea of everything in life coming from nothing, it all comes from zero. As humans ‘zero’ is our natural state. It’s one of inner peace, unconditional love and clarity.
Everything else is additional; it’s ‘plus’.
When you worry
When you overthink
When you stress
When you’re angry
When you’re annoyed
It’s all ‘plus’.
All thought and feelings come from zero, they’re all ‘plus’.
This means we don’t have to react to them and when we do, it always takes us away from zero and into ‘plus’.
If you enjoy this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :)

In Focus: Beyond The Word | Syd Banks Breakdown - Ep 257 Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

On this week's In Focus session I am breaking down a talk from one of my greatest teachers in life, Syd Banks.
Syd Banks, was an ordinary working man, not searching for truth or wisdom or even aware of much beyond his day-to-day life. Over 35 years ago, he had a profound spiritual experience that revealed to him three, long-lost, divine principles that are a foundation to all of human experience.
In his talk 'Beyond The Word', Syd, talks about these three divine principles. It's one of my favourite talks from him and, like most of his work, is pretty hard to come by. In this episode, I want to share my deep learnings and insights from this particular audio.
On this episode I discuss:

Finding the 'now'
Past only existing as memory
All conflict coming from thought
Finding your inner self

Exploring Consciousness & Spirituality with Lawrence Choto - Ep 254 Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

On this week’s episode I am joined by Lawrence Choto who is 19 year old content creator with over 320,000 followers on Tik Tok and he is someone who is undoubtedly wise beyond his years
I first came across Lawrence during 2020 when this young man was sharing such hard hitting spiritual truths and really looking like he walked the walk of what he was talking about and wasn't just reciting some quotes that he read in a book.
He fascinated me so much, as I was so intrigued how someone so young could be so wise and knowledgeable, so I knew I had to reach out and ask him to join me for a conversation.
During this conversation, we spoke about:

Finding wisdom in silence
Understanding the depth of consciousness we share
What happens when we die
and more

Jamal Edwards | A Tribute To A Pioneer - Ep 253 Feb 24, 2022

Show notes

Jamal Edwards, the founder of the media platform SBTV, which helped to launch grime and a new wave of artists to a global audience, died on Sunday morning at the age of 31.
Jamal is someone who I knew through my time spent in the music industry and saw as a real inspirational character. So it hit me really hard to hear that he had passed away at such a tender age.
Edwards was also a director, novelist, DJ, entrepreneur, and designer, and he received an MBE for his work in music in 2014, when he was only 24 years old.
Some of the world's most successful performers – including Ed Sheeran, Dave, and Jessie J, Skepta to name a few - began their careers on SBTV, Edwards' platform, which started as a YouTube channel, before being signed to major labels.
Edwards began SBTV "on a £20 phone" while still in high school and turned it into a renowned online youth broadcaster, according to Edwards. His YouTube channel, which he started in 2006, now has 1.2 million subscribers and nearly 1 billion views.
Stormzy, Rita Ora, Krept & Konan, Bugzy Malone, and others were among the musicians featured on the channel, which was called after Edwards' rap moniker SmokeyBarz.
In a 2017 interview with the Guardian, Edwards said, "I always looked at grime like the punk movement, in terms of lyrics and defiant attitude."
SBTV's F64 – a fresh 64 bars of new and unique lyrics – was a signature format that featured everyone from renowned artists like Wiley to novices and up-and-comers.
Edwards grew raised in Acton, west London, and was born in Luton in 1990. To support himself while developing SBTV, he earned a BTec diploma in media moving image from Ealing College and worked at retail chain Topman.
When he became wealthy, Edwards invested heavily in philanthropy, especially mental health and youth centre support. He sought to break down stigmas around men's mental health by speaking openly about his personal anxieties, and in 2021 he initiated an initiative to renovate and reopen youth centres.
People from the music industry, politics, athletics, and other fields paid tribute to Edwards on social media.
Edwards also served as an ambassador for the Prince of Wales's charitable organisation, the Prince's Trust.

Your Body Can Release Emotions? with Julie McCammon - Ep 251 Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

On this week’s episode I am joined by Julie McCammon who is a trained physiotherapist and specialises in myofascial release (MFR). This is a treatment which focuses directly on the fascia in the body (the connective tissue that runs throughout the body) and helps deal with chronic pain.
What fascinates me most about MFR is that it has been proven to help release stored emotions which the body has held onto through previous emotional and physical traumas.
During this conversation, we spoke about:

Benefits of Myofascial Release
How the muscles in the body store emotions
The relationship between pain and thought
and more
