Exploring the hearts, minds, and traditions of cultures and people around the world is Dr Mandeep Rai’s passion and in her new book The Values Compass (recommended by the Dalai Lama no less!) and indeed on this episode we question what makes us who we are…why the Turkish are hospitable, the Jordanians helpful and the Argentinians passionate? Mandeep has travelled to over 150 countries and loves more than anything how chance encounters with strangers when travelling can change your life. Oh and she has some very inspirational thoughts on how we can embrace our own core values…   On this episode we cover:   What ARE global values? The 101 countries she travelled to for her new book The character strengths that strike you in a new country Unbeatable Turkish hospitality The helpful nature of people in Jordan Being kind to strangers Hospitality rules in the Koran You only know true kindness when you’re on the road The passion of the Argentinians – whether dancing, protesting or football Being more important than ever to celebrate positive global values The positive about Paraguay, Bolivia or Peru How only negative stories make the news How different cultures can clash Thailand’s love of being deeply respectful How the book is a tool to bring out the best of yourself Working out your top priorities or values for the next decade Being third generation British Indian Her Sikh grandparents moving to Britain during the WW2 Children being able to embrace their Indian culture more now there are more ethnic minorities around London’s melting pot still alive and kicking How people can bring their history and culture and values to London Growing up in Gloucestershire and not speaking about the other Lisa’s father not imparting Indian or Fijian culture at all Wanting to be like the little blonde friends! How immigrants embrace things differently Having more Indian cultural influences from her mother Ensuring they spoke Punjabi, read the scriptures and listened to Indian music Having mixed heritage kids Everyone untimely being some type of mix and shade of brown Having a treasure trove of languages and cultures to draw from Admiring what really happens to you, not your culture or friends Entering a new decade by nailing what you want to be your legacy How the best travel stories often happen when something goes wrong Losing her passport in Senegal Having the most magical time in Senegal Being no need to create conflict Lisa going to Munich to see England beat Germany 5-1 (or was it 5-2?

In 1993, her world was ripped apart when her remarkable photojournalist son, Dan Eldon, was killed by a mob in Somalia.  Although it was the worst thing any mother could go through, she found her way through the grief and founded Creative Visions, which supports creative activism, to honor her son.  Her Ted Talk: "The F-word" is about how she finally came to forgive those who were responsible for her son’s death.  Kathy is all about igniting in others that spark within to allow them to connect with and achieve their highest potential.

Bronwen Hughes and Face2Face host David Peck talk about her new film The Journey is The Destination, Dan Eldon, the “global tribe”, living a life of “crowded hours”, and having no sense of the other. IMDB Trailer   More about Dan Eldon here. More about Creative Visions here. Synopsis The Journey is the Destination is based on the remarkable true story of the life of Dan Eldon, a photographer, artist, and adventurer.  By the age of 22, he had travelled to more than 40 countries, created fine art journals, worked with refugees, been hired as the youngest photojournalist at Reuters, fallen in love  — and accumulated more life experience than most in a lifetime.   Inspiring and irreverent, the film tell the story of a young man coming of age to realize his purpose, and his belief that we can all create positive change.   This film is 23 years in the making and we could not be more proud to have Kathy’s original dream become a reality.  This would not be possible without the phenomenal group of producers, the incredible director Bronwen Hughes, the cast, crew and everyone who has been part of this journey.  The journey continues… Biography Bronwen Hughes is a New York and Hollywood-based feature film director of Canadian and British origin. She is currently at work on the feature film The Journey is the Destination, based on the life of artist and photographer, Dan Eldon. This epic adventure tells the story of Dan who spent his life traveling and photographing in 42 countries, inspiring young people to follow him. Like Dan, Hughes started photographing and traveling the globe from a very young age.  Hughes’ feature Stander is based on the true story of a notorious and brilliant bank robber in 1970’s Johannesburg. This charismatic criminal became a popular hero, often robbing 4 or 5 banks in a single day. Ultimately, he was apprehended and revealed to be the captain of the South African Police. Stander stars Thomas Jane (The Punisher, Boogie Nights) and Dexter Fletcher (Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels). The shoot took place in Johannesburg and the Townships of Soweto and Tembisa, where Hughes directed thousands of extras in a re-creation of the riots of the apartheid struggle. Her previous feature, Forces of Nature, starring Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck, was made for Steven Spielberg’s Dreamworks. It is a stylish and unique romantic comedy about two strangers thrown together on a wild ride battling the elements, both trying to make it to Savannah on a deadline. Noted for its special effects sequences of slow-motion hail storms and surreal hurricanes, Forces of Nature was the Number One film in the weeks of its National and International releases. Hughes came to the attention of Spielberg who asked her to direct Forces of Nature after seeing her first feature film, Harriet the Spy, starring Rosie O’Donnell. Made for Paramount Pictures, Harriet was released to critical and box office success, and won international prizes. She currently has several films in development: Romeo Spy, the true story of John Symonds, one-time London policemen who became an international seducer-of-women for the KGB in the 1970’s; Firecracker Boys for Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way, a truth-stranger-than-fiction story of Alaskan Eskimos exposing the nuclear conspiracy of the Atomic Energy Commission; The Dictator’s Lover, the true story of three generations of female spies; and Tropicana, a large-scale musical based on the legendary Havana nightclub. Her production experience has taken her all over the world, from Iceland and Norway, to East and Southern Africa, to Central American Mayan ruins, and the remote peaks of the Andes. Her award-winning documentary for The Discovery Channel, Cinenova’s Machu Picchu: The Search for Lost Worlds was filmed in the jungles of inland Peru. For television, Hughes’ prestigious pilots White Collar and Fairly Legal, both for USA Networks and Fox TV Studios, are now hit series for the network. Hughes completed an action-packed episode of Breaking Bad, which has received Emmy’s for AMC, and several episodes of the HBO series Hung, starring Thomas Jane, who also starred in her feature film, Stander.  ---------- For more information about my podcasting, writing and public speaking please visit my site.
