  • E42 Body Builder to Holistic Healer with Sheian aka Lazo Freeman

    At four year’s old, young Sheain escaped the regime of Saddam Hussein with his family, travelling on a donkey whilst under attack in a war zone.  Settling in Britain, Sheain changed his name to Lazo, and went on to become an award winning body builder and transformational coach for the highly driven, rich and famous.  

    Lazo has spent a large part of his life with access to a glamorous, exclusive and elite world, from travelling on super yachts, to invites to all the best parties and clubs in cities around the world.  Despite his success, through his work, he began to realise that there is more to life than just the externals.  He delved deeper into the world of the mind and began to offer his clients coaching on a much more holistic lifestyle. 

    Lazo is now an advocate for men’s excellence, a personal development champion, with many practical strategies.  On his own spiritual journey he has dedicated his time to deeply and expertly study yoga, breathwork and deep healing.  A great conversation where Lazo talks about his childhood, his experience of creating his body building business, and his work in holistic healing, trauma, energy, happiness and creativity.

  • E41 Creating Your Life By Design with Daniel Hill

    Daniel Hill is a hugely successful property developer and investor with an 8 figure portfolio, ready to retire at 35 years old.

    He is also the best selling author of Karma Credits, The Universal Law of Wealth, Health and Happiness as well as the host of the Blueprint podcast and proponent of creating your ‘life by design.’

    A hugely driven and talented man, with a heart of gold, he is full of apparent paradoxes.

    He ran his hugely successful company Multi-Let which he sold for multiple 7 figures in 2021, while choosing to live on a narrow boat on a monthly budget of just £750.

    He credits his success to hard graft as well as his spirituality and has always been a believer in delaying gratification and playing the long game and was happy to live simply while he was building his businesses. 

    We sat down to talk just as Daniel is entering a new stage of his life, thinking about starting a family as he moves into a 10,000 square foot Manor House with a driver and Rolls Royce.

    He shares why he decided it was time to enjoy the fruits of his labour and his focus for 2024, it won’t be what you think. 

    Daniel shares tips and insights on how he has created a life by design and how you can too.

  • E36 Why I Needed to Be Rich and Hard with David Thomson

    The incredibly successful, wise and brave entrepreneur David Thomson, founder of Suada, speaks candidly about the reasons behind his drive to be "rich and hard."

    This is an especially useful discussion, packed with lots of practical advice on life, learning, business and sales, which is David's main area of expertise.

    We discuss David's upbringing in Scotland, spent in clubs and pubs, full of poverty and severe adversity. He had a teriibly traumatic childhood, eventually ending up at a children's home by the time he was 10 years old.

    Even with such a horrific and difficult start, young David worked incredibly hard, always believing in the power of education and a positive mental attitude, despite being let down by the school system and his family.

    His resilience saw him joining the army and very soon after he went on to establish himself in sales and ultimately establish many highly lucrative and successful businesses.

    His current business, Suada, combines the power of technology and education to provide game changing results across many sectors, including sales, humanitarian aid and sustainability.

    In this episode, he shares what success means to him, how he harnesses the power of a positive mental attitude, overcomes barriers, deals with failure, and what he has learnt by learning from the best and training a world class team.

    His vision has led him to undertake huge projects and help others along the way - something which the young, troubled David could only have dreamed of.

    A fascinating and deep discussion for the listener to benefit from. In his own words: The boy's come a long way.."

    Trigger warnings: Domestic abuse, violence, racism.

  • E35 Peeling Back the Layers of Identity with Shamita Kumar

    Growing up in London during the eighties, with hardworking, busy but loving parents, Shamita learnt stories from both her grandmothers about her family's magical, adventurous past yet she was always told - be good, don't rock the boat, do well.

    Her curious, inqusitive nature led her to be confused by these messages. Internally conflicted, she went on to do all that was required of her - to study law, get a corporate job in London helping others, to be a good daugther, wife,and daughter in law. But she did not feel content.

    She began a deep journey of self awareness. Along the way, she discovered her Grandad, a freedom fighter from Amritsar, was rebellious, honest, brave and brutally tortured for speaking out. It was his spirit that Shamita has inherited. Finally she connected the dots and understood herself better.

    Through her coaching business, Moksha Coaching, her NLP training, integrated healing and shamanic soul retrieval, she now helps others to learn how to connect the body and the heart, how to discover their true nature, align their values and live the kind of life they want to lead.

  • E34 How Ayahuasca Changed My Life with Ansuya Devi

    A deeply personal and profound conversation detailing the journey of Ansuya Devi, attorney, holistic coach and founder of Modern Ancients Sanctuary. From humble beginnings in Hackney, growing up in a large Hindu family of Mauritian Indian immigrants, Ansuya and her siblings desperately strived for balance between Eastern and Western cultures. Her move to study law in Manchester was considered a huge deal, and she herself did not realise that quite soon after she would move to the USA as an attorney, and build a corporate middle class world for herself, and yet a simple Ayahuasca ceremony would change her path. This led Anusuya to navigate a tricky balance of her old and new life, to ultimately find her purpose in a life of service, founding a holistic retreat centre in Peru. Listeners will enjoy learning the fascinating details of her personal spiritual journey, her vast knowledge in the power of mediation, yoga, plant medicine and healing. Balance is not found on the top, it's created on the way.

  • E33 Eclective Selectives 4 - Stability & Inspiration / Ungrateful Change-makers / Why Entertaining Rejecting Your Faith May Be a Good Thing

    Welcome back to the Evolving Door podcast, this episode is solo episode number 4 where I share 3 things I have been thinking about recently.

    1: Stability and inspiration

    The best thing I can do for my family is provide stability and inspiration. So first I need stability and inspiration in my own life.

    2. Ungrateful change-makers

    Change-makers in their efforts to bring about needed change can often seem ungrateful for all the good that has been done and the sacrifice of others to get things to where they are. The price the changemaker pays for bringing about change at least in the beginning usually means taking a very lonely and unpopular path, where the need for change is greater than the need to be accepted by the status quo. It's a necessary cost in order to break the old way of thinking and create awareness of the need for change.

    3. Why entertaining rejecting your faith might be a good thing

    This is a reflection on how to untangle the big ball of wool of your faith to determine which bits to keep and which bits to let go of. It also asks the question - can you really choose something you are not willing to let go of?

    Please share with a friend who may relate and benefit from hearing this. If you like it please subscribe and leave me a review on Apple podcasts or Spotify, I love reading them it is very encouraging.
