Life is full of magical moments—if we're willing to be the first to say yes! In this episode of the Powerhouse Feng Shui Podcast, I share a powerful lesson about perspective, kindness, and stepping up as a leader in our own lives. A simple conversation with a stranger reminded me how much our outlook shapes our experiences, and how shifting our perspective can open up a world of possibilities. From an unexpected connection in Bali to an unforgettable experience at the New Earth Cookery School, I dive into the power of trusting synchronicities and following those little nudges from the universe. Whether it's dancing on tables, singing karaoke, or jumping into a river fully clothed, sometimes the best moments come when we embrace spontaneity and lead with joy. Just like Richard Branson says—you have to be the first one! Join me as I reflect on these beautiful experiences and how they align with the principles of Feng Shui and intentional living. How can we bring this energy of adventure, openness, and trust into our homes and lives? Let's explore how small shifts—whether in our mindset or our environment—can unlock powerful transformations. Ready to say yes to life's magic? Let's dive in!   Key Takeaways:  The way we see the world directly influences our experiences. The best experiences often come from saying yes, even when it feels unexpected or out of our comfort zone. Being open to spontaneity brings more fun, connection, and fulfillment into our lives. Small acts of kindness and genuine conversations can have a profound impact on both ourselves and others. We never know what ripple effect a single moment of connection might create.

Interview by Angela CroudaceHeavy metal legend Ross The Boss is set to electrify Australia next week, and he couldn't be more excited. Reflecting on his previous visit, Ross recalls the overwhelming love he received from Aussie fans. "The reaction nerfed me," he laughed. "The intensity, especially in Melbourne, was unbelievable."Ross, a founding member of Manowar, spoke passionately about the creation of Sign of the Hammer, revealing that the band often recorded more tracks than needed, seizing every opportunity in the studio. A highlight was recording at Richard Branson's famed Manor Studio — a surreal experience that included sleeping in rooms once occupied by historical figures like William the Conqueror.This upcoming tour features what Ross calls the best version of the RTB band yet, boasting powerhouse musicians like Dirk Schlächter (Gamma Ray) and drummer Sean Elg. “We're coming to melt faces,” Ross promises, highlighting the group's precision and raw power.When asked about his time in Manowar, Ross candidly shared that he wished he'd been firmer with his bandmate Joey DeMaio. "Sometimes I should've put my foot down more," he admitted. Despite past challenges, he now channels his passion purely through his guitar, still rooted in the soulful blues influences of B.B. King and Albert King.Ross also touched on the emotional impact his music has had. "People tell me it saved their lives," he said, visibly moved. "It's an honour I don't take lightly."As Ross prepares to unleash a storm of classic anthems down under, he leaves fans with one promise: “We'll give you 150%. When the final note rings out, we want you to feel it in your soul — and want us back.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

But after decades of grinding, he realized the real reason businesses fail isn't cash flow, competition, or even bad luck… It's because the owner gets tired.

Kate Griggs is a powerhouse in the world of neurodiversity. As the founder and CEO of Made By Dyslexia, she's on a mission to help the world understand, value, and support dyslexic thinking—not as a disadvantage, but as a superpower. She's the author of two bestselling books, This Is This Is Dyslexia and Xtraordinary People and the host of the chart-topping podcast Lessons in Dyslexic Thinking, where she's interviewed everyone from Sir Richard Branson to Erin Brockovich. In this episode, Kate takes us back to the beginning of her own dyslexic journey—and shares what inspired her to launch a global movement. We talk about the outdated education system, how to nurture dyslexic strengths from a young age, and why ADHD, dyscalculia, and other forms of neurodiversity so often go hand in hand.

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with the incomparable Curtis Shewell—a master of authentic connection and persuasive communication. Fresh from an exclusive mastermind with Sir Richard Branson on Necker Island, Curtis unpacks how being authentically dialed in to your intentions, language, and energy opens doors that most only knock on. From navigating elite rooms to converting “No” into opportunity, this conversation is a must-listen for any agent or entrepreneur looking to grow through genuine influence and strategic presence. Key Topics Covered Getting in the Right Rooms How Curtis got into private mastermind rooms with elite entrepreneurs (including Richard Branson) by being curious, not pushy. Why body language and listening create deeper connection than scripted pitches ever could. Leading with Value How to make deposits before withdrawals—and why that builds loyalty and influence. Why people remember how you make them feel, not your accolades. Authenticity as a long-game play in sales, leadership, and team-building. Mastering Your Message Crafting an authentic, curiosity-driven elevator pitch (“I help people accumulate wealth and residual income through real estate.”) Why “I'm a Realtor” is the weakest answer to “What do you do?”—and how to say something that gets people asking for more. The #1 mistake agents make when speaking to someone more successful than them—and how to avoid it. Authentic Sales That Don't Feel Salesy Why “No” is your friend—and how to use it to build trust, not resistance. Curtis' approach to objections: leading with empathy, permission, and authentic dialogue. Why most agents oversell and underconnect—and how to flip that dynamic instantly. Introducing: Dialed In Coaching What agents really need right now: skill-building in a no-pressure, no-hype environment. Why Curtis created Dialed In: for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a week, agents can roleplay, sharpen scripts, and master their message.

Above Photograph © Chase Jarvis We've all heard the saying “The best camera is the one that's with you.” But do you know how this catch phrase ended up as a mantra of the mobile economy? In today's show, we speak with Chase Jarvis, the man behind Best Camera—the wildly successful photo sharing app that predated Instagram—to get an inside look at his wild ride.  A born entrepreneur and self-made photographer with a hunger that always worked against the grain, Chase's meteoric rise in action sports/lifestyle photography dovetailed with the dawn of the sharing economy, leading him to a moonshot idea. The ensuing saga of Best Camera's viral success, subsequent demise, and Chase's quick pivot into his next visionary business model—Creative Live—is both a cautionary tale and a redemption story. All told, you'll gain fascinating insights into the nexus of creative innovation and big business at the highest levels.  When asked about his biggest take away from Best Camera given the benefit of hindsight, Chase doesn't miss a beat, responding, “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.” Guest: Chase Jarvis Episode Timeline: 3:44: How Chase's mastery of sports and the gift of his grandfather's camera gear led to a passion for teaching himself photography. 9:33: Channeling real-world examples from his grandfather and father into early pictures, along with library books about the masters' and photographic techniques. 15:35: The development of Chase's early entrepreneurial spirit and how his second-grade teacher stifled these efforts. 22:50: Bucking trends and connecting with the uniqueness you bring to your images as a creative style. 26:32: Embracing social media and the sharing community early on and the ability to see around the corner as an entrepreneur. 35:53: Chase's fast track to commercial success, technological innovation, and developing the Best Camera App. 46:20: Episode Break 47:48: The lessons learned from the Best Camera failure and how Chase channeled these lessons into the success of the first livestreaming learning platform, Creative Live. 52:24: Making the pivot from the first live photo feed to building Creative Live as a way to answer questions the questions asked by a massive global audience.  1:00:51: Creative Live's pioneering approach to a freemium business model, plus offering access as a core company value. 1:05:29: The most popular offerings at Creative Live: the fundamentals, the business of classes, and the big name thought leaders. 1:12:38: Chase's views on the current—and future—landscape in social media, creativity, and AI, plus advice for getting comfortable being uncomfortable.  1:20:43: What success means to Chase, and the message in his recent book Never Play it Safe: A Practical Guide to Freedom, Creativity and a Life You Love. Guest Bio:  Chase Jarvis is an award-winning artist, entrepreneur, bestselling author, and one of the most influential photographers of the past 20 years, whose diverse portfolio spans from advertising campaigns for Apple, Nike, and Red Bull to collaborations with athletes like Serena Williams and icons such as Lady Gaga and Sir Richard Branson. As an early adopter of social media and the sharing economy, Chase created Best Camera (the first photo-sharing app) in 2009 and co-founded the online education platform CreativeLive in 2010. Chase has spoken on six continents and advised Fortune 100 companies, with invitations to both the Obama White House and Buckingham Palace.

“And so all of our activities, all of our food, all of our ethos gets you to a place of just absolute peace. With that peace, you can find whatever it is that you're needing to break through. And once you break through, you can serve more than just your own problems. You can start solving these problems in the world.”We're in great company with Britnie Faith Turner, the Founder and Owner of The Aerial, BVI, a private island experience with the best views in the British Virgin Islands that acts as a force for good. What appears as an all-inclusive eco-resort goes well beyond just that—serving as an incubator for positive transformation, delivering a never-before-seen kind of luxury for its guests.Yet The Aerial, BVI is only a small piece in Britnie's larger plan to build numerous businesses that are for purpose, not for profit. As Britnie tells of the serendipitous beginnings of each, the story reveals a theme of elevating people and places through the pursuit of excellence.  In this episode, as we celebrate Women's History Month around the world, Britnie encourages us all to travel the world and discover our own ‘Aerial'—that higher perspective where we realize we are a part of something bigger than ourselves.  Top Takeaways[2:00] From humble beginnings living in her car while working for free, Britnie developed an eye for excellence—as she witnessed third-world poverty alongside first-world despair, realizing her mission would take her far beyond material success.[4:50] How an unexpected vision led Britnie to turn from mindful revitalization of dangerous neighborhoods to journey to find an island sanctuary where she would invite visitors to awaken their own transformational potential. [10:10] Britnie grew up self-admittedly hating wealthy people, yet before long, she sought out to surround herself with some of the richest people on the planet—finding this sense of discomfort and dreaming contagious.[15:00] Buying and building on a private island is not as easy as one might imagine—and yet even through a devastating divorce, two category-five hurricanes that annihilated the BVI, and a grand opening that coincided precisely with the global COVID-19 pandemic, Britnie's faith was unwavering.  [24:15] Inspired by personal passions, chance encounters, and loved ones, Heal the Heroes transforms troubled veterans and first responders into humanitarian operators—creating an 'army of good' that has rescued over 8,400 people from trafficking and disasters. [30:25] From sunrise to sunset, The Aerial, BVI captures the sacred healing properties of the Island—sharing it with guests through locally sourced cuisine, uniquely created accommodations, and an abundance of wellness activities. [35:20] Why “Purpose Luxury” is the perfect blend of excellence and impact, and how the future of luxury travel provides those who have everything and yet nothing, with the one thing that some seek and everyone deserves—peace.  Notable Mentions The Virgin Way by Richard BransonRedemption RanchElevate SummitsVisit For YourselfThe Aerial, BVI Website | @theaerialbviAerial Recovery Website | @aerialrecoverygroupBritnie Turner Website | @britnieturner

Long before he was running Boom — which earlier this year successfully tested the world's first privately-developed supersonic jet — he was enabling “the world's most obnoxious spam cannon” at Groupon, or designing a barcode-scanning game for retail shoppers.But eventually, Blake found the courage to be more audacious and do something closer to his lifelong love of aviation.

Building on all of this experience, he conducted research into tendon health and the potential for engineering ligaments, which could have implications for treatment and recovery from injuries.Sponsors:Cresset prestigious family office for CEOs, founders, and entrepreneurs: https://cressetcapital.com/tim (book a call today)AG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement: https://DrinkAG1.com/Tim (1-year supply of Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first subscription purchase.)Shopify global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business: https://shopify.com/tim (one-dollar-per-month trial period)*Links to everything discussed: https://tim.blog/2025/02/26/dr-keith-baar/Timestamps:[00:00:00] Start [00:07:12] How I discovered Keith's work through a tweet about tennis elbow and rock climbing.[00:07:54] Emil Abrahamsson's hangboard training protocol.[00:09:20] The fundamental principles of strength training and connective tissue adaptation.[00:10:36] mTOR complex 1 and its role in muscle growth.[00:12:06] Engineered ligaments and the discovery of minimal effective doses for tendon adaptation.[00:13:50] The refractory period between optimal tendon loading sessions.[00:16:42] Rapamycin's effects on muscle hypertrophy.[00:18:49] Protocols for tennis elbow rehabilitation.[00:20:28] Why isometrics work better than eccentrics for tendon healing.[00:22:14] Stress shielding and how load distribution affects tendon healing.[00:29:07] The misconception about eccentric loading for tendon injuries and why velocity matters.[00:29:58] Ideal duration for isometric holds (10-30 seconds) based on injury status.[00:33:50] My elbow issues and current rehab approach.[00:36:02] Overcoming vs. yielding isometrics and optimal loading strategies.[00:47:11] Dr. Barr's movement prescription for my tennis elbow.[00:52:18] Loading timing post-surgery and RICE protocol criticism.[00:56:58] Achilles tendon rehabilitation after surgery.[01:00:18] Critique of orthopedic suturing techniques and recommendation for resorbable sutures.[01:04:02] Multiple position isometrics for tennis elbow rehabilitation.[01:07:26] Collagen synthesis, supplementation, and vitamin C timing.[01:12:59] Critique of BPC-157 and other injectable peptides for tendon healing.[01:18:19] Evaluation of orthobiologics' (PRP, prolotherapy, stem cells) effectiveness.[01:21:37] JAK-STAT inhibitor drugs and their effects on tendon growth.[01:25:35] Drugs that increase risk of tendon ruptures (fluoroquinolones, AT-1 receptor drugs).[01:29:33] How estrogen affects tendon stiffness and injury risk in women.[01:32:48] Testosterone's opposite effects on tendon compared to estrogen.[01:35:31] Protein intake recommendations and timing.[01:40:11] Ketogenic diet effects on mitochondrial biogenesis and longevity.[01:41:57] Comparison of ketogenic diet, low protein diet, and rapamycin for longevity.[01:47:19] Inflammation's role in adaptation and when to reduce it.[01:51:17] Timing of ice baths relative to training for optimal recovery.[01:52:33] Parting thoughts.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissPast guests on The Tim Ferriss Show include Jerry Seinfeld, Hugh Jackman, Dr. Jane Goodall, LeBron James, Kevin Hart, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Jamie Foxx, Matthew McConaughey, Esther Perel, Elizabeth Gilbert, Terry Crews, Sia, Yuval Noah Harari, Malcolm Gladwell, Madeleine Albright, Cheryl Strayed, Jim Collins, Mary Karr, Maria Popova, Sam Harris, Michael Phelps, Bob Iger, Edward Norton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Neil Strauss, Ken Burns, Maria Sharapova, Marc Andreessen, Neil Gaiman, Neil de Grasse Tyson, Jocko Willink, Daniel Ek, Kelly Slater, Dr. Peter Attia, Seth Godin, Howard Marks, Dr. Brené Brown, Eric Schmidt, Michael Lewis, Joe Gebbia, Michael Pollan, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Vince Vaughn, Brian Koppelman, Ramit Sethi, Dax Shepard, Tony Robbins, Jim Dethmer, Dan Harris, Ray Dalio, Naval Ravikant, Vitalik Buterin, Elizabeth Lesser, Amanda Palmer, Katie Haun, Sir Richard Branson, Chuck Palahniuk, Arianna Huffington, Reid Hoffman, Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings, Rick Rubin, Dr. Vivek Murthy, Darren Aronofsky, Margaret Atwood, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Dr. Gabor Maté, Anne Lamott, Sarah Silverman, Dr. Andrew Huberman, and many more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time around, we have a bit of a different format, featuring the book that started it all for me, The 4-Hour Workweek. Readers and listeners often ask me what I would change or update, but an equally interesting question is: what wouldn't I change? What stands the test of time and hasn't lost any potency? This episode features one of the most important chapters from the audiobook of The 4-Hour Workweek. It includes tools and frameworks that I use to this day, including Pareto's Law and Parkinson's Law. The chapter is narrated by the great voice actor Ray Porter. If you are interested in checking out the rest of the audiobook, which is produced and copyrighted by Blackstone Publishing, you can find it on Audible, Apple, Google, Spotify, Downpour.com, or wherever you find your favorite audiobooks.Sponsors:ExpressVPN high-speed, secure, and anonymous VPN service: https://www.expressvpn.com/tim (get 3 or 4 months free on their annual plans) Momentous high-quality supplements: https://livemomentous.com/tim (code TIM for 20% off)Helix Sleep premium mattresses: https://HelixSleep.com/Tim (Between 20% and 27% off all mattress orders and two free pillows)*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissPast guests on The Tim Ferriss Show include Jerry Seinfeld, Hugh Jackman, Dr. Jane Goodall, LeBron James, Kevin Hart, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Jamie Foxx, Matthew McConaughey, Esther Perel, Elizabeth Gilbert, Terry Crews, Sia, Yuval Noah Harari, Malcolm Gladwell, Madeleine Albright, Cheryl Strayed, Jim Collins, Mary Karr, Maria Popova, Sam Harris, Michael Phelps, Bob Iger, Edward Norton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Neil Strauss, Ken Burns, Maria Sharapova, Marc Andreessen, Neil Gaiman, Neil de Grasse Tyson, Jocko Willink, Daniel Ek, Kelly Slater, Dr. Peter Attia, Seth Godin, Howard Marks, Dr. Brené Brown, Eric Schmidt, Michael Lewis, Joe Gebbia, Michael Pollan, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Vince Vaughn, Brian Koppelman, Ramit Sethi, Dax Shepard, Tony Robbins, Jim Dethmer, Dan Harris, Ray Dalio, Naval Ravikant, Vitalik Buterin, Elizabeth Lesser, Amanda Palmer, Katie Haun, Sir Richard Branson, Chuck Palahniuk, Arianna Huffington, Reid Hoffman, Bill Burr, Whitney Cummings, Rick Rubin, Dr. Vivek Murthy, Darren Aronofsky, Margaret Atwood, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Dr. Gabor Maté, Anne Lamott, Sarah Silverman, Dr. Andrew Huberman, and many more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
