Evolving Door

At four year's old, young Sheain escaped the regime of Saddam Hussein with his family, travelling on a donkey whilst under attack in a war zone.  Settling in Britain, Sheain changed his name to Lazo, and went on to become an award winning body builder and transformational coach for the highly driven, rich and famous.   Lazo has spent a large part of his life with access to a glamorous, exclusive and elite world, from travelling on super yachts, to invites to all the best parties and clubs in cities around the world.  Despite his success, through his work, he began to realise that there is more to life than just the externals.  He delved deeper into the world of the mind and began to offer his clients coaching on a much more holistic lifestyle.  Lazo is now an advocate for men's excellence, a personal development champion, with many practical strategies.  On his own spiritual journey he has dedicated his time to deeply and expertly study yoga, breathwork and deep healing.  A great conversation where Lazo talks about his childhood, his experience of creating his body building business, and his work in holistic healing, trauma, energy, happiness and creativity.     --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ravinol/message

The incredibly successful, wise and brave entrepreneur David Thomson, founder of Suada, speaks candidly about the reasons behind his drive to be "rich and hard." This is an especially useful discussion, packed with lots of practical advice on life, learning, business and sales, which is David's main area of expertise. We discuss David's upbringing in Scotland, spent in clubs and pubs, full of poverty and severe adversity. He had a teriibly traumatic childhood, eventually ending up at a children's home by the time he was 10 years old. Even with such a horrific and difficult start, young David worked incredibly hard, always believing in the power of education and a positive mental attitude, despite being let down by the school system and his family. His resilience saw him joining the army and very soon after he went on to establish himself in sales and ultimately establish many highly lucrative and successful businesses. His current business, Suada, combines the power of technology and education to provide game changing results across many sectors, including sales, humanitarian aid and sustainability. In this episode, he shares what success means to him, how he harnesses the power of a positive mental attitude, overcomes barriers, deals with failure, and what he has learnt by learning from the best and training a world class team. His vision has led him to undertake huge projects and help others along the way - something which the young, troubled David could only have dreamed of. A fascinating and deep discussion for the listener to benefit from. In his own words: The boy's come a long way.." Trigger warnings: Domestic abuse, violence, racism.

Growing up in London during the eighties, with hardworking, busy but loving parents, Shamita learnt stories from both her grandmothers about her family's magical, adventurous past yet she was always told - be good, don't rock the boat, do well. Her curious, inqusitive nature led her to be confused by these messages. Internally conflicted, she went on to do all that was required of her - to study law, get a corporate job in London helping others, to be a good daugther, wife,and daughter in law. But she did not feel content. She began a deep journey of self awareness. Along the way, she discovered her Grandad, a freedom fighter from Amritsar, was rebellious, honest, brave and brutally tortured for speaking out. It was his spirit that Shamita has inherited. Finally she connected the dots and understood herself better. Through her coaching business, Moksha Coaching, her NLP training, integrated healing and shamanic soul retrieval, she now helps others to learn how to connect the body and the heart, how to discover their true nature, align their values and live the kind of life they want to lead.  Connect with her @shamita_kumar_coach on Instagram.

A deeply personal and profound conversation detailing the journey of Ansuya Devi, attorney, holistic coach and founder of Modern Ancients Sanctuary. From humble beginnings in Hackney, growing up in a large Hindu family of Mauritian Indian immigrants, Ansuya and her siblings desperately strived for balance between Eastern and Western cultures. Her move to study law in Manchester was considered a huge deal, and she herself did not realise that quite soon after she would move to the USA as an attorney, and build a corporate middle class world for herself, and yet a simple Ayahuasca ceremony would change her path. This led Anusuya to navigate a tricky balance of her old and new life, to ultimately find her purpose in a life of service, founding a holistic retreat centre in Peru. Listeners will enjoy learning the fascinating details of her personal spiritual journey, her vast knowledge in the power of mediation, yoga, plant medicine and healing. Balance is not found on the top, it's created on the way. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ravinol/message

Welcome back to the Evolving Door podcast, this episode is solo episode number 4 where I share 3 things I have been thinking about recently. 1: Stability and inspiration The best thing I can do for my family is provide stability and inspiration. So first I need stability and inspiration in my own life. 2. Ungrateful change-makers Change-makers in their efforts to bring about needed change can often seem ungrateful for all the good that has been done and the sacrifice of others to get things to where they are. The price the changemaker pays for bringing about change at least in the beginning usually means taking a very lonely and unpopular path, where the need for change is greater than the need to be accepted by the status quo. It's a necessary cost in order to break the old way of thinking and create awareness of the need for change. 3. Why entertaining rejecting your faith might be a good thing This is a reflection on how to untangle the big ball of wool of your faith to determine which bits to keep and which bits to let go of. It also asks the question - can you really choose something you are not willing to let go of? Please share with a friend who may relate and benefit from hearing this. If you like it please subscribe and leave me a review on Apple podcasts or Spotify, I love reading them it is very encouraging. You can follow me @beinspiredrav on Instagram / @ravinolchambers on Facebook / Ravinol Chambers on Linkedin @ravinol on Twitter or X (although I am not on there much) to see regular short video clips from the interview podcasts along with other musings from me on parenting, property, personal development, film making and purpose-driven business. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ravinol/message

This week's guest Wali Khan had to leave home at 7 years old to escape the Taliban. He relocated to the UK with his mum and brother. A few years later he found himself at a hospital in Birmingham meeting two boys his age from back home in Swat Valley, Pakistan. Their sister Malala had been shot in the head by the Taliban and was being treated at the hospital in Birmingham. The boys became friends and shared many of the same challenges growing up and being educated in a country far from home. They have started a unique project together called 'The Last Neanderthals' using the power of Web 3.0 to build a global community around the power of education, the power of possibility.

Positive News described this week's guest Ben Hurst as a youth leader helping to rewrite the script of masculinity. I met him after his TEDxLondonWomen talk where he said 'Boys won't be boys, boys will be what we teach them to be.' He is an activist, advocate, public speaker, facilitator, model, and podcaster who is helping men and boys navigate the whole space of what it means to be a man in today's world. We talk about the pressures many boys face growing up to be a certain way, where that comes from, and how to help our sons navigate these challenges. We discuss figures like Andrew Tate and their influence on boys and young men including the reasons they have been so successful. We also explore the importance of seeing the positive in their messages alongside the negative if we are to gain the trust of those receiving the message. If you have sons or daughters, this episode will equip you with tools to help you support them in facing the challenges of growing up today.

I was at Glen Hansard's band The Frames first gig at the Clifton Country Blues Festival in the west of Ireland in 1990. Shortly afterwards we became friends and it has been a wonder to witness the incredible adventure he has been on since, always with music and poetry and an eagerness to better understand himself and life at the heart of it. From humble beginnings living in Dublin's only high rise flats in Ballymun he went on to create amazing music loved by fans all over the world and has played alongside so many of his childhood heroes like Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eddie Vedder, Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell, Michael Stipe and many more. He won an Oscar for the music he and Marketa Irglova wrote for the Indie Film 'Once' that they both starred in which captured the hearts of so millions and opened him out to a wider audience. We have a rambling conversation about so many things, I hope you like it (we managed to clean up the audio really well for the most part but towards the end you can hear a friendly neighbour strimming the grass outside the window, just a heads up).

Samantha Moyo gave me a big warm hug at TEDxEastend in 2013, she had just recently sold Morning Gloryville, a sober raving movement that had grown massively over the previous year or so. I was delighted to sit down with her for this interview ten years on to discuss her life pre and post-Morning Gloryville. She was born and grew up in Zimbabwe and moved to Derbyshire in the UK at 15 years old to a bit of a culture shock. She talks about her glorious Uni days in Brighton as the perfect place to come out and experience being a young free gay person, attending parties, then organising parties and experimenting with her sexuality, drugs and alcohol. She moved to London and hit it hard and it all became a bit too much after a while which ultimately led to Morning Gloryville, where young professionals would come to Sam's early morning sober raves before work. It became incredibly popular and spread to cities all over the world. These days she has found her spiritual side and has trained as an interfaith minister and believes that each of us stepping into our spiritual leadership will help solve many of the world's problems.

I loved talking to Jonah Sachs. He is an author, speaker and viral marketing pioneer. His new approaches to digital media have been critical in bringing the ideals of social change — such as equity, empowerment, responsibility and transparency — to the forefront of business and popular culture. He had over 60 million views on his videos even before YouTube was a thing. His first book 'Winning The Story Wars' catapulted him onto the global speaking scene talking about storytelling for brands and causes and how to be heard in a world of media noise and clamor. He has a warmth about him which shows he cares deeply about people and the planet. He is also a deep thinker and strives to move beyond the comfortable and always into fresh and stimulating waters. His latest book 'Unsafe Thinking' How to Be Nimble and Bold When You Need It Most is a great example of this. I hope you enjoy the conversation, I am sure you will find it stimulating in many ways.

This is one of my favourite episodes. Although Madi and I had a very different start in life, we both spent many years completely absorbed in the culture, philosophy, and community of the Hare Krishna movement. We also both shared similar experiences in later life that helped us make sense of our experiences and broaden our minds on many issues. At 5 years old Madi was taken to America from Ireland by his parents and told he was going for a sleepover at a boarding school there and when he woke up the next morning, his parents had gone and he was on his own. At 7, he was put into another school, this time in India. The boys and girls were not allowed to speak to each other, so when he grew up and started to become more interested in girls, he felt like they were speaking a different language. He is now married and has children. He and his wife used to exchange glances across the temple room floor but never really spoke. They exchanged letters for about 10 years before seeing each other again in person and starting their relationship. Madi's experiences as a young person growing up and with his own parents, who separated, led him to a fear of commitment and also of abandonment which he had to overcome as he embarked on his own journey into family life. University in California was a huge culture shock for him and he started to reassess all of the cultural and philosophical beliefs he had been handed as a child. One of these beliefs was that a son was more valuable than a daughter, which is something his father told him when Madi had a girl as his first child. Having a daughter whom he loved so much made him challenge many views he previously held, realising they were misconceptions and ideas he felt no longer served him or his growing family. It inspired him to sponsor a girl to pursue her education in India through a charity called FFLV and later to produce a CD album of all female artists dueting with him on a variety of devotional songs called Bhakti Without Borders. The album broke new ground as typically it was only male singers that produced albums or that led the singing in the temples. It raised a lot of awareness about gender equity and also money for the girl's education charity, going on to get nominated for a Grammy which was epic. Madi has now found his own place within the faith and also in the broader world. He talks about finding your rung and living an authentic life as your own person and I think he is an amazing example of this. I hope you enjoy it.

Shikha Uberoi is an amazing person.She excelled at professional tennis (top 100 in the world, No.1 in India), went into TV and then Tech, and has done it all with such a great sense of purpose.She is one of five sisters and her parents (especially her father) gave them tremendous self-belief that they really could do anything, and that there was no limit. They have each gone on to achieve amazing things in their lives.Shikha has always embodied a sense of service and spirituality but she found it very difficult to move from professional tennis to her passion for TV and storytelling to make a difference.

Namarasa Das's parents became Hare Krishna when he was one year old. His dad got really into it and his mum was very unsure, especially since she saw it as a threat to stable family life. He grew up part of a spiritual community on weekends and a typical American high school kid Monday to Friday. He started to have doubts about his faith and needed to figure it out for himself so he embarked on a life-changing trip to India to study philosophy there and came back ready to commit his life to spiritual ideals. He talks about the importance of humour on the spiritual path, his love of memes and why we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. We talk in-depth about having to grow up and mature in spiritual life, learning to let go of certain aspects of culture if they aren't helpful and definitely not letting anyone rule your life too much. Fatherhood, marriage, progressive and traditional approaches are all in there too. Have a listen. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ravinol/message

I loved the BAFTA award-winning show The Revolution Will Be Televised so much, with its cutting satire and hilarious pranks tackling serious issues it was the perfect combination of silly and serious all in one. It was a pleasure to chat with Heydon Prowse who along with Jolyon Rubenstein (E2) were the stars of the show as well as the writers too. Hear how Heydon along with Joe Wade were already creating prank-style undercover videos about political stuff and then added Jolyon who brought new characters into the mix. Together they spent almost a decade creating some of the best TV and getting into amazing situations sometimes quite dangerous but always hilariously entertaining and thought-provoking. Heydon shares some great stories on how they planned the pranks and got access to places like the Hague, the Saudi Arabian Embassy and Google Headquarters as well as how they got out of more than a few sticky situations when they almost got caught. He also shares his conflict around examining his own motivations, wondering if protest and activism really work and if being a critic is the best way to go in life. Heydon is a deep, thoughtful, and funny guy and I can't wait to see what he does next.

Jaz O'Hara is the amazing Founder of The Worldwide Tribe and Host of the Asylum Speakers podcast. Moved by the refugee crisis in the Calais Jungle, she shared a post on social media and woke up in the morning to 65,000 shares and so many messages. It started her journey to better understand the issues facing Asylum seekers and for many years now she has been sharing stories and advocating for fair treatment and rights for those experiencing displacement and the many challenges that leaving your home to find a safer situation entails. In this episode, we explore her work and learn about her amazing parents who have fostered 4 boys from Libya, Sudan, and Eritrea who were in need of asylum. We also discuss amongst many things, the amazing response to the Ukrainian war and explore why the response to asylum seekers from other parts of the world has not been as enthusiastic.

When she was being a rebel as a child, it was her growing and learning. 24.12- Rather than thinking he or she's doing better than me or they're getting more spotlight we should lift each other up and help each other. 29.52- During yoga classes she would recognise the voice in her head, she would hear it, if you're not hearing it, you're not aware. 31.17 - After successes at work she would go to yoga rather than going out drinking, she felt it was far more fulfilling and nourishing than the bender she'd go on. 33.15- Rimi took a trip to the Azores in Portugal where her husband is from to plan their wedding, she fell in love with the place. 35.32- Rimi's aunt had died and left her with her life insurance policy, Rimi and her husband decided that they should invest the money in moving to Portugal.

Bobby Friction is a larger-than-life character, a Radio1 DJ, and a supporter of young people coming up in the creative industries. In this episode, we dive deep, buckle up, and enjoy the ride. 2.28- Bobby was doing an art degree channeling his inner rage about racism, by the time he'd gone to university he had survived an anti-Sikh genocide, and experienced the raw racism of the seventies. 4.45- For many years Bobby was the only Asian kid in the school, he spent his teenage years thinking he was the ugliest person that had ever been born because that's what people told him. 9.39- Bobby was dressing up extravagantly which attracted more racism and bullying but he just wanted to express himself, the only escape he had was Prince. 17.24 - His first friend at Radio One was John Peel, Bobby picked up on his attitude and approach to music. 19.52- Sikhism came out of a very intellectual Period in India's history and when his mother and father taught him about his religion, it made him think that everything, even religion should be critiqued constantly. 24.20- In 2020 and the rise of Black Lives Matter he only started to come to terms with the racism hr faced was when he was younger- he realised he didn't change because the racism stopped because it stayed, it was his makeup, dressing up and expression that helped him 25.01- In the seventies when Bobby was a child he used to be abused on the street by adults on a daily basis. 27.56- Bobby loves this country, he bleeds red, white and blue but he looks back at his childhood and thinks what was this country back then? 28.19- Bobby was once headbutted in the park by an adult when he was 10 years old. 31.08- The working class are usually the ones who physically racially abuse others but you realise that they are suffering under the system as well, it's the middle-class racist that you've got to watch out for because they are nice to you.

In this final part of this epic conversation we dive deep into the lived experience of the family. They share what it was like when Malala was shot, to suddenly find themselves in another country and how it impacted on Khushal and his relationship with his dad. There are some wonderfully funny moments towards the end which I hope will bring some joy to your soul. Enjoy. 0.50 - Why are the Taliban against education and should we feel bad for them because they haven't had a good education that teaches them to be good humans? 4.29 - Should we fund education in poor countries if they are teaching sexism? 6.36 - What were your emotions when the accident happened and had to move to the U.K.? 8.09 - Finding yourself in a new culture as a stranger is difficult and all you've got is your family 10.35 - Feels like a never ending dream.

Perfect is impossible. 29.47 - How has it been for the family after Malala became famous and well known? 31.20- Does Khushal get jealous of Malala's fame?

Khushal came home and cried not because his sister beat him but be cause he wanted Malala to be 1st. 37.41 - You've got to learn from consequences, when you repeat a mistake, it's self sabotage. 39.17 - If the environment, culture and way of life hadn't been changed by Zia, Malala couldn't of been the inspiration she is today. The first male a girl sees is her father who is also the first male that can decide her fate. 42.00 - Zia didn't cut Malala's wings, he let her fly, he believed in her, they are an equal family. 45.50 - ‘Let's wrap it up' - Zia continues to talk which leaves Khushal in stitches laughing. 47.15 - Can change be successful if we only focus on the girls? 48.00- Happiness is the ultimate goal in life. 51.30- Men should come forward to support girls, it would help families and communities be happier. Countries with more equality do better, they are more prosperous, they are happier, wealthier and safer. 54.12- To make change we have to focus on the young boys.

Zia Yousafzai is Malala Yousafzai's father and Khushal is her brother. Malala is the amazingly brave and powerful young woman that was shot by the Taliban for speaking out for the right of girls to go to school. In this powerful conversation, Zia and Khushal share what it was like growing up in Pakistan and the cultural challenges they faced even before Malala was born and subsequently after she was born and Zia broke from convention and the cultural norms in the way he brought her up. I hope you will love our discussion, this is a unique and intimate insight into their world and I am proud to be releasing it as we announce the acquisition of my feature documentary A Girl Can Touch The Sky by international sales agent Abacus Media Rights. This is the first of three parts of our conversation, each filled with depth, humor, and candor about many of the issues society is still grappling with with regards to gender equity. 0.50 - intro - Malala is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner. 1.17- Intro - Malala was almost killed by the Taliban. 3.36 - Zia changed the typical story of a typical man like in patriarchal culture 5.17- None of Zia's 5 sisters had the opportunity to go to school, their destiny was decided before they were born. 7.13 - Girls disappear after 10-11 years old and are always kept inside.

So girls take every opportunity to go outside as it is so limited. 27.01 - The girl carries the heavy burden of the honor of the family but everybody is responsible for their own honor. 30.27 - Zia first met his wife at his aunty's house (distant cousins). 35.53- Love is powerful and communicates itself in seconds as does hate. 39.09 - Girls choose to be invisible because they are scared - the more invisible the more respected you are. 43.20 - When walking on the street women have to look at the floor why doesn't the man? The Holy Koran asks the men to look down (don't stare). 45. 41 - It's not men seeing women that is the problem, it's men not really seeing women in full. It comes down to men taking responsibility 47.57 - Zia still has experiences patriarchy in himself because is such a deep-rooted thing, what changed him was education. 55.19 - Zia's wife started washing the guest's hands after eating but when she got to Zia he stopped her.

Jon Miller is super-intelligent and super eclectic. Maybe that is why I find him so interesting. In part two we discuss his time at various big agencies and how his work with the biggest companies in the world changed his perspective on how social impact could be developed. He realised a lot of the big issues business is dealing with are also social issues, and was excited by the idea that businesses could also deliver social value alongside financial value. This led to him setting up Open for Business, which explores The Business Case for LGB&T Rights & Inclusion.

Join Jean Griesser (spiritual name Visakha Devi Dasi) and I for part two of this conversation to discover how she overcame the discrimination she experienced as a woman and how she gradually became more and more involved in her spiritual practices through her association and loving experiences with her spiritual teacher Srila Prabhupada. She shares how she overcame her skepticism and found a deeper meaning in life and how as a leader in the community she supports and relates to people at all levels of spiritual practice and the importance of not judging people whatever level they are on. Although she grew up feeling an outsider, she now has a very clear faith that following your own path that nourishes you and makes you happy is more important than doing what other people are doing just to fit in.
