Peter Neall, Men's Work, Pilgrimage and Wellbeing.

This is one of the interviews that I found so deep and engaging.

Peter Neall is a walker of Pilgrimages both physical and metaphorical and as we talk, we go down some amazing rabbit holes about life and meaning. Awesome stuff.

Jerry Stevenson Success Secrets for Musicians.

Jerry returns to the podcast, and we look in depth at what makes a successful creative musician.

The points raised work for any artist gleaned from many years of experience of working as a top guitarist.

This gets very deep and very interesting, and I my opinion are the things not taught in college and go to the very essence of what makes an artist.

Jerrys credits include Chris Rea, Barbara Dickson and Procul Harum and well as playing for the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Charlie Kish Guitarist for Another Day Rescuing Phones and Being Very Cool on Social Media

It's great to talk to Charlie Kish who is the guitarist for the rock band Another Day.

Charlie is oozing with enthusiasm for playing and gigging which comes across in this interview and a cracking guitarist to boot.

This was great fun chanting to Charlie as he talks about playing the guitar from the age of four and how a visit to a music shop can transform your life.

Another day or a superb young band who are worth checking out if you're in the London area, and they have some fantastic ideas about social media promotion.

This is such an amazing story that it needs another listen. One of the inspiring tales that is very weird.

I am really pleased to be talking to an old friend of mine, Kevin Lee.

Kevin was a school friend, who from humble beginnings, has lived an interesting life. His amazing story involves music, martial arts, famous musical families and vintage cars.

Great insights into how things happen, seemingly by chance but how luck can be stacked in your favour.

Mini Kingman, Prog Rock, Coming to Art Late, Occultist and Success in Male dominated Business.

I am delighted to be speaking to Mini Kingman on today's podcast. Mini has a varied and interesting life working as a rep for her father's highly successful business for over 20 years but her other interests include lifelong interest and connection to the occult and the Prog Rock scene working with some high-profile artists.

Mini is a poet and artist working in a variety of mediums and she talks about the challenges of coming to terms with identifying herself as an artist and how coming to art later in life has a positive effect.
