It's most probably (definitely) not what you think or what you read in the nudie magazines or watch on Redtube! Oh - did I just say that?
You're about to learn:
And so much more.

Today I have one of the world's best portrait photographers, Jason Malouin and we dive deep into effective communication and impacting the world through the inception of visual connection.
I feel so freaking blessed when it comes to podcasting, because I become profoundly more wise - via the wisdom of my guests - after every conversation.
Today some of the mind blowing points include:
Why all connections are not equal and how the level of connection really matters.
How to ask the right questions to help the people you are trying to help.
How and why assumptions suck.
What you think matters is more than likely not what anyone else finds valuable.
Divine moments are captured via the intuitive 'moments before'.
How to communicate effectively.
How a few quick mini wins can take you through the armour of trying to get it all perfect.
Understanding that how we think we are portraying ourselves is not how we are actually seen.
It's the micro details in our expression that hold power.
You cannot demand genuine or authentic connection - it must be unveiled through vulnerability.
What makes a moment 'photo worthy'.
Just because you cannot see your greatness, is never a true indication of its non-existence.
Being you requires us to remove stuff, not add on.
How to get us to our core to reveal ourselves to the world.
Communication is only effective if you begin with where the level of the listener is at.
How the key is always, to give yourself permission.
At the end of the day, it's not about the photos, it's about what we are communicating. Profound portrait photography is about being able to transmit ideas effectively, efficiently and cleanly and through an excellent image, communicating the subjects message to the world.

Why James and this episode will blow your mind!
We discuss:
James travels the globe giving free talks to educate about the option of becoming a vegan and helping people understand the suffering of animals to make food, clothing, and entertainment for human beings. He asks himself the confronting question:
"If we don't need to kill and eat animals to be healthy, what are we doing this for?"
At 17 he was diagnosed with leukemia and told he had six weeks to live. Fast forward to beating that disease, getting hooked on a lot of drugs and letting go of them, overcoming Bulimia and being a dedicated personal trainer for almost a decade, James met a man through his work that changed his perspective on eating animals forever.
James brings patience, unconditional acceptance and a down to earth honesty that is very rare, to everything he speaks about. Even if you are completely new to the concept of veganism, have heard amazing or even challenging things against it this interview is worth the listen. I am certain that simply by hearing his journey, and the roller coaster that is his life, it would be impossible to walk away from listening to this episode not be touched in some way, for the rest of your life.

I would to know, would you consider stopping eating animal products after listening to this episode? Why, why not?

Why listening to this episode is a must
We cover:
The Merrymaker sisters are a life force of love and abundance.

A true visionary, no challenge seems to be too big for Franziska. She is known for her rebellious nature and challenging the norm. She has this rare combination of being both creative and strategic, which makes her a powerful thought leader in the business world.
If you are someone who despises the wasting of potential, you will love this episode.
I titled this quite literally, because 'Ziska' (her nickname to me, because she hates Fran, so we went with Ziska), is the epitome of potential extrapolation from a human being.
She is the author of bestselling book PERCEPTION - Take charge of how others view your brand, become irresistible and make a bigger impact and Bananas About Marketing – How to Attract a Whole Bunch of Clients.

She has an amazing ability to forecast and execute strategies with precision results like a Swiss clock.
She is funny as hell and not afraid to get incredibly open in this episode.
My fav takeaways:
Thank you Franziska!
She has been generous enough to gift us a Free mini course for busy business owners!

That a sex trafficking victim is often raped 10-20 times a day, so in a period of 6 months that's anywhere between 1,800 to 3,600 times? What about the fact that at around 20 years of age, after a lifetime of her body being purchased at the price of a cup of coffee, she is simply released, for she is no longer fresh and thus deemed useless in the trafficking industry?
How about the fact that whenever a girl is rescued from sex trafficking, that another is plucked from for her life to replace her, and that rescuing while a miracle in itself, doesn't end the problem?
Out of all the 100's of organisations in Cambodia, none of them at this point, focus on prevention alone in a systemised, focused way. Except, Free To Shine. Free To Shine is a child protection organisation preventing children from being trafficked into the commercial sex industry, in Cambodia.
The hero behind Free To ShineNicky Mih is such a powerful, humble and inspiration being. She teaches us that you do not need to know how to do something great, to do something great. You get a big enough reason and your how's work out.
My favourite parts of today - all of it. Wisdom for a 100 years of life, show up in this interview.
Loads and loads and loads more
Nicky and Free To Shine info is all right here.
And, don't bloody forget to just be you.

The moment I want introduced this woman, I knew I needed her on the show. There are at least three one lines in this interview that hit me right in the soul.
One being: "What if we didn't have to break down to break through?". Tessa is the kind of being that makes you want to throw your fears to the side and go after your dreams. Why? Because she is a woman who has dragged her heart, mind and soul, through the trenches of transformation, coming out the other side to walk her talk consistently. This is rare. This is the kind of interview that has the potential to help awaken something much deeper and more fulfilling inside of anyone who listens.This interview is a great insight into "spirituality" in todays world and how it is something quite common, practical and easily applied into our lives if we see it as a way of being, rather than a way of "appearing" to the rest of the world. After years of experience in youth work, asylum seeking, refugee support work and pilot parenting, Tessa burnt out in what can be a seemingly be a unsupportive system for workers in these government areas. Following this time, Tessa opens her life to more spiritual based work, adding to her vast expertise. Some of the points topics we explore include:
Emily Anne Peterson is the kind of woman that people make movies about.
Emily is a bravery expert.
Her life is jaw dropping. Well, more correctly, the way she chooses to live it is. The way she has dealt with one of the most confronting experiences that one could face; having (what seemed like her entire purpose) stripped from her. The woman also did a TEDx talk. Another reason why she is my hero.
She was once a full-time cellist and cello teacher. But in December of 2013, she was diagnosed with a degenerative, hereditary, neurological tremor in her right hand, her bow hand.
She called it her other biological clock.
As you can imagine, it was shattering news for her. Of course, she handled it like a boss.
And this is exactly why you need to listen to this episode. There comes a time in all our lives where we are faced with a make or break moment.
We learn so much from how Emily managed not only an eating disorder, but a tremor that brought her dreams (at the time) to a halt.
My fav take aways in this episode:
- What to do when life falls apart
- Where to go from rock bottom and the slow but simple journey out of darkness
- It's okay to not be okay, for more than a few days, even months
- How bravery and courage aren't how to sound
- How to recovery and still work through the impulses and battle of an eating dis-order
- How to be brave and courageous, no matter what
- How to turn your devastations into life transformation
- How our life purpose is fluid
- That break downs are breakthroughs, and how to do the work (yes we must work) to get through
- What vulnerability, bravery and courage have to do with being an artist (of your life) and that there is no other way
So yeah, it was amazing. Enjoy and please, connect with Em and let us know what you thought my rating this episode and leaving us a comment about how it helped you!
Love love love,
Ambz
