Just Interesting People

Demas is a well-known photographer & designer who was born in Indonesia but moved to Sydney, Australia as a young boy and still lives there to this day!

Although he lives in one of the world's most iconic cities, he travels all over the world capturing incredible landscapes & interesting architecture. He is renowned for his editing techniques & skills in Photoshop, which he uses to create unique artwork.

One of the first brand deals he got was photographing some trainers for Adidas and he now works with brands like Adobe & Samsung on a regular basis!

He talks to us about his entire journey from studying architecture at university & working in the business for several years before leaving it all to do photography & content creation full time.

He is such a lovely guy and we really hope you enjoy getting to know him more as we discuss basketball, YouTube, podcasting & his favorite travel destinations!

In today's episode, Jennifer shares with us how she made fitness & yoga her career.

She was born & raised in NYC, in an Italian family which gave her some important values of hard work & discipline.

She trained as a swimmer from a very young age, and has always been very active. However, that was not her initial career choice as she studied international business & worked for some high-end fashion brands for years before yoga became her life!

After moving to Italy, her interest for fitness & yoga evolved. She decided to go to India to take her first 200 hour yoga teacher training. A few years later Jennifer also completed her 300 hour yoga teacher training in London.

After being a successful yoga teacher in Italy, she moved back to Miami and is now taking her yoga teaching career to the next level!

Jennifer also shares with us her love for traveling, which started early on in life as her parents work for an airline company. Her studies & jobs also took her to multiple countries across the globe but she still has a long list of places she would love to explore.

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it!

He says it himself, Pedro navigates life with 80% fluency. He shares his life story with us as someone with a stutter. This was actually the first time we talked to someone with a stutter, and we learned so much from him!

For 40 years, Pedro struggled. Growing up with a stutter was not easy. He didn't have any friends at school, he was bullied, laughed at, and considered stupid by everyone, including his teachers. It was tough, and it got to the point where he considered taking his own life. Thankfully it didn't happen, but it didn't mean things became better straightaway.

When he turned 40, Pedro was tired of living this life. He decided he had enough & he was going to make changes. He did some self-development work, shifted his mindset, and decided that his stutter would be his superpower rather than a burden. He now has a podcast & YouTube channel to empower other people with stutters.

It is such an INSPIRING story! We hope you enjoy as much as we did.

Sue has experienced so much in her life.

She grew up in a very religious Mormon family where she had strict rules to abide by and not much freedom or self-expression.

In her teenage years, she started photography as a hobby which turned into art therapy and then her career. She toured with bands, had her photographs in art galleries, photographed hundreds of weddings, and had big dreams... all the while bringing up her 2 children as a single mom.

We talk about her coming out as gay to her 2 children, road tripping around the States with them for 3 months, and now being a video producer & working with some celebrities.

We told you she has experienced a lot... and this is only scratching the surface! Make sure you go and listen!

Baba grew up in Nigeria. He had a really good education there and was living a successful life career-wise. Just to give you an idea, he was making enough money to live for a year, in a month!

However, in his late twenties, he decided to leave everything behind and to move to England. There, he had to start from zero. After a few years, he settled there, started a family... and was working extremely hard to support it.

But then he got burnt out. This then created a shift in his mindset and from there he decided to prioritize his health, his family & children rather than his job. He now helps other dads to find a balance in their lives.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

From a young age, Ryan has always loved sports cards. For years he has been buying & selling cards on eBay or other platforms. In 2013 he started an Instagram page, CardCollector2, to share his beautiful collection. That was the beginning of a crazy journey. A few years later, Ryan was making enough money from selling cards online that he was able to pay for his wedding and quit his job.

In 2019, Ryan achieved his lifelong dream and opened his first brick & mortar card store- CardCollector2 sports cards, in Columbus, Ohio. He is now co-hosting CardTalk, a podcast about the card hobby, and he is about to open a brand new store.

At 28 years old, and in less than 10 years, Ryan managed to turn his childhood passion into a profitable business. From selling cards on his computer to now having 10 employees working for him.
