The return of Mildred Yuan!Mildred returns to the show to discuss the rise of AI, its impact on the performing arts and how now more than ever, we need to embrace our humanity. Mildred stresses that while AI is amongst us, it is not here to replace you. There are things it can do to help us as she has discovered with her own piece of software “AI Mildred”. Where you can ask it anything from which agent should I sign for? What reputation does this creative team have? To what does this clause in my contract mean?In “The Stage” recently, she wrote about how it can be an effective tool for things like the above. In this conversation she suggests that humans and AI should use this opportunity to get to know each other better. Not give our power away to it, but understand what it can do for us and where we should draw the line. In these changing times I believe it's important to have these discussions so we know more about what's coming and not allow anything to replace us. On a lighter note, Mildred and I both stress that no matter how advanced AI is prepared to go, it can never take away our authentic human experience. In her own words, “Let AI be the tool, you be the soul”. Let's take some time to understand it, whilst also knowing it can't take away the feeling of being human, having lived experiences, feeling genuine emotions and hearing stories that you simply can't make up!For access to Mildred's “Power Hour” sessions on Patreon (£12 a month), her articles in The Stage, “Mildred AI” and how to get in touch, visit her website and Instagram below:@mildredyuanmildredyuan.comGreat to have you back Mildred and for shining a light on this topic.

The return of Cassandra Woodhouse!Cassandra returns to the show to discuss her second outing of Prima Facie and how actors can look after their nervous system. Since our last conversation she has taken Suzie Miller's play around New Zealand for a second time, making new discoveries and deepening her relationship with the character Tessa. A young lawyer fighting her way into the British justice system from a working class upbringing. Until one night something awful happens to her and she is forced to face the cracks in the establishment she fully believed in. We discuss her new findings of the play, her continuous work with sexual assault charities and some of the latest reactions she's getting from audiences. In addition to her future with the play, the rewards and benefits of producing a one woman show by yourself and how she implores actors to look after their nervous system. She discusses how performers should prioritise looking after their nervous systems as sometimes it doesn't know what is real and what isn't. It doesn't know that you're playing someone else's story and not your own so when you're tackling big material like Prima Facie, looking after yourself is paramount. ⚠️Trigger warning: This episode contains references to sexual assault⚠️For more information regarding her tour and future endeavours you can see that on the New Zealand Theatre Company website and her Instagram below:nztheatrecompany.com@cassandra_woodhouseThank you again Cassandra, here's to next time!Oliver GowerSpotlight Link: https://www.spotlight.com/9097-9058-5261Instagram: @ollietheuncensoredcriticFor enquiries and requests: olliegower10@gmail.comPlease Like, Download and Subscribe ✍️Thank you all for your support!Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Raw Coaching Insights From Early Morning Warriors June 23, 2025 | Episode - 5120 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott gets real about missing his first podcast in years (hey, it happens!) and dives into the powerful conclusions from his Face Your Passion coaching calls. These aren't your typical motivational platitudes–they're raw, authentic insights from high-achievers who show up at 7 AM ready to transform their lives. From redefinition to making things happen, Scott breaks down the simple truths that work when you stop overthinking and start moving. This episode cuts through the fluff and gives you the between-the-lines wisdom that creates real change. Featured Story Scott shares behind-the-scenes moments from his Face Your Passion coaching group–125 calls deep with people aged 30 to 73 who get up early because they're serious about creating passionate, purposeful lives. He drew these conclusions from the participants, who underwent a fundamental transformation in real time. The magic happens when people are challenged just enough to feel uncomfortable, then break through with insights they didn't even know they had. It's coaching gold that reveals how simple truths become life-changing when you're ready to receive them. Important Points The mind works retrospectively and prospectively–it always asks, “How did last week go?” and “What will you change next week?” to create powerful awareness and forward momentum. Most people lack the clarity to make decisions, which means they can't take action. You must decide what you want to do before you can do it. Sometimes, you need to stop being yourself if being yourself isn't working–redefining yourself isn't wrong; it's necessary for growth and breakthrough. Memorable Quotes “If you keep moving forward and get things done, life is going to work out okay for you. If you stop moving, it will not work out.” “I'd rather take a chance and kick you in the ass a bit and have you hate me for a minute, love me forever.” “Sometimes the stuff I'm telling you today, simple advice, you go do it whether you like it, no matter how hard it is, you will be rewarded for going through it.” Scott's Three-Step Approach Ask yourself retrospectively how last week went, then prospectively what you'll change next week to create what you want. Stop overthinking motivation and tap into a time when you were naturally fired up–model that energy and feeling instead of relying on canned exercises. Decide what you want to do and do it. Stop waiting for perfect clarity and start moving toward your passion, purpose, meaning, and legacy. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
