  • Noe Perrin: growing up around the world, cryptocurrency & Bitcoin
    Noe was born in the UK, from a French mother and Spanish father and spent the first 10 years of his life in England. He then spent 4 years in Dubai, 4 years in Jamaica, then settled down (for now) in Florida, USA. Talk about being a multicultural, globetrotting human being!
    In the first half of the episode, Noe shares with us how moving around the world and spending his childhood & teen years in different - extremely different - countries forged his personality and his views about the world and people. It taught him to respect and embrace our differences. He also talks about the challenges and difficulties caused by so many moves.
    In the second half of this episode, we talk about cryptocurrency and investment. Noe is passionate about finance and innovation, so it's not surprising that he got into crypto. He explains to us the basic concepts of cryptocurrencies & Blockchain, and how they might become part of our everyday lives in a near future. If you have heard people say "invest in Bitcoin" but you don't really know why, what it is and how it works... this episode should help you!

  • Keith Johns: becoming a real musician
    Keith got introduced to music at a young age when his dad used to play the guitar for him. He later learned how to play the trumpet and was in a band at school. He experimented with different styles of music until he decided he wanted to sing and play a musical instrument at the same time, so he learned how to play the guitar.
    He then left college and focused on his career as a physicist and only played music as a hobby. An opportunity to record some music with a new studio that had just opened up was when his life switched gears. This opportunity along with being asked to play at Ritz Carlton started to bring in enough income to quit his job and focus on his music.
    In this conversation we talk about the process of writing songs, his upcoming album "Terra Nova", self doubt & comparison, mental health, his favourite songs and Keith shares with us lots of inspirational quotes that keep him going on tough days.
    This conversation was about much more than his career and singing.. we talked about lots of different topics and really got to know the guy behind the guitar. We absolutely loved this episode and hope you will too!

  • Hugo Healy: aspiring actor turns award winning drone videographer
    Hugo is from Brighton in the south of England and is a professional drone operator, videographer and photographer. One of his biggest achievements was being a videographer for an MTV Video Music Awards and Grammy Awards winner music video!
    Hugo originally wanted to go to acting school, but was too young to apply at the time so instead went to film school where he got hooked as it was a great way to express his creativity. He decided to get his first drone during school to be able to capture different angles and points of view... and was rapidly known as "the drone guy"!
    Hugo has always been very fond of traveling, saving every penny to explore new places and capture the beauty of our planet with both his drone & camera. After years of hard work, he now shoots commercials, movies and TV series and also travels to photograph people around the world.
    At 25 years old, Hugo managed to create a life he thoroughly enjoys for himself and we hope this conversation inspires you to go after your dreams too!

  • Nelson Rodriguez: poor Cuban upbringing turns into rich ambition
    Nelson starts off by talking to us about his relationship with money. We talk about his experience growing up without a lot of money and how that upbringing made him want to have more money as an adult. He tells us that money is not a bad thing, but instead, it can be a magnifying glass which can bring you freedom and happiness if used correctly.
    We then talked about his early adulthood, studying and working lots of hours but still being broke, until he got his big break with a friend's business. It was a really interesting conversation about money mindset and how his beliefs around money have changed over the years.
    Nelson then talked to us about Cuba. Growing up in Miami but coming from a Cuban family, he told us horror stories of his home country... how family & friends escaped on boats, what people used to eat in desperate times and how Cuba has been affected by the pandemic. Cuba is a beautiful country but there are lots of ways in which Cuban people's lives could be greatly improved.
    Lastly, we talked about Nelson's passion for creating music. He talks to us about how it's a form of therapy for him and a way for him to express himself.
    This was such a diverse conversation where we talked about lots of different topics but we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Nelson and we hope you enjoy listening to it too.

  • Florian Valette: network engineer living in Australia
    Florian is a dear friend of Jeremie who currently lives in Melbourne, Australia. In 2016, he needed a new challenge in his life, and a friend of his who recently moved to Australia told him about the opportunities in this country. It didn't take long to Florian to decide that he was ready for a new chapter, so he quit his job and jumped on a plane to the other side of the world. He is living a happy life over there as a permanent resident.
    Before that, Florian grew up in France and did a lot of acrobatic gymnastics when he was young, specializing in tumbling. He shares with us how he picked this sport - which is not really common for boys in France - and how after years of training he eventually ended up training with the French national team, and competed in French and European championships!
    When he got older, Florian decided to prioritize his studies and pursue a passion for IT. It all started when his parents got a computer, he taught himself how to build websites and got hooked. Florian decided to focus on this and eventually graduated with a Master's degree in network engineering. During his studies, he had the opportunity to study abroad so grabbed the chance to go to London and then to San Francisco. He eventually got a job for OVH, a French cloud computing company which offers VPS, dedicated servers and other web services.
    As he is an expert, we challenged Florian to explain how Internet actually works (because it is not magic as you might think) which was pretty fun - check out this website that we mentioned in the conversation https://www.submarinecablemap.com.

  • Techn0yogi: bodybuilder, kandi kid & DJ
    Rob - aka Techn0yogi - starts off by talking to us about the time in his life when he was competing in body building. He talks about all the sacrifices and discipline required for it including the food he ate and how far he got with the competitions.
    After 12 years of being a certified PT and competing in body building, he started to question things about the way he was working out, training others and the way he was eating etc. He tried fasting, then tried to reduce the amount of meat he ate and eventually became vegan when he took his yoga teacher training. Around this time, he also changed the way he was working out and eventually started to live a more meaningful and intentional life with the yoga community.
    We then talk about his love for Techno music. He started going to Ultra Miami at a pretty young age and was considered a raver, even taking part in dance battles! Techn0yogi shares that his sister's boyfriend is the one who taught him the basics of DJing with proper turntables and vinyls when he was a teenager. He stopped playing for around 10 years but is now a resident DJ in Miami.
    And lastly, we talked about Kandi jewelry which is now a huge part of his personal style. Techn0yogi met a girl one day who gifted him a Kandi bracelet. They then went to a music festival in Canada together which was a Kandi festival so he started doing a few small pieces to take with him. After the festival, he totally fell in love with gifting pieces of artwork and started creating bigger pieces. He now gifts his artwork to DJs such as Paul Oakenfold, Diplo, Carnage and Eric Morillo.
    We also talked about gratitude and appreciation for life along with other topics. We had such a lovely conversation and we really hope you enjoy listening!

  • Gabrielle Demmer: the importance of being your true self
    Demmer was born and raised in Miami, Florida and tells us about how belly dancing and Flamenco dancing from the age of 3 gave her self confidence to perform on stage but also how to be comfortable within her own body. She talks to us about self expression and why dancing (in any form) is so important to her.
    We discuss her rebellious teenage years, getting her first tattoo in a garage at the age of 16 and the meaning behind it. Demmer also shares about her religious upbringing and the change her mom made to switch to Buddhism and how this decision affected her life.
    Demmer studied finance in college but after her partner went through a life altering event, she decided to do something that brought her true joy, so got into the hospitality industry. She loves festivals for the music, the freedom of self expression and also for the magical moments that happen during these events. She tells us a really cool story about a festival experience and why she does what she does.
    This is a really lovely conversation where we cover a wide range of subjects as we get to know Demmer on a deeper level.
