What starts as a casual decision often becomes the moment that changes everything.

In this episode of Ripple FX, we sit down with Patman & Marsela, a husband-&-wife DJ duo behind Record Rituals, to explore how small, seemingly insignificant choices can create powerful ripple effects across love, career, & creative life.

From applying for a job abroad “just to see what happens,” to a chance meeting on a dancefloor during COVID, this conversation traces how openness, timing, & trust in the unknown shaped their journey across Malta, Gozo, & Spain.

Together, we talk about building a creative life abroad, working with your partner, sustaining artistry in a world that demands productivity, & why consistency, humility, & leaving room for mystery matter more than chasing outcomes.

This episode is an invitation for creative entrepreneurs, DJs, artists, expats, & couples who work together to soften control & trust the path as it unfolds.

And yes, it all started with a “magic cigarette” & a passion for music!

Patman & Marsela are a husband-&-wife DJ duo based on the small Mediterranean island of Gozo. United by love & a passion for music, their sets weave together a style which blends soul, disco, house, Afro, gospel, Latin, global grooves & something genuinely uplifting drawn from years of digging, travelling, & sharing musical moments.

Patman’s decade in Spain & background as a multi-instrumentalist deeply influenced his approach to DJing & event curation, while Marsela brings a rich broadcasting background & intuitive sense of flow from her roots in Albania. Their shared philosophy is simple: good music transcends genre, & creativity thrives when it’s shared.

You’ve both lived, loved, & created across different countries. Looking back, what’s one moment or decision that felt small at the time but ended up creating a ripple effect that changed the direction of your lives or careers?

• Building community through music & events abroad

• Working with your partner without losing mystery

• Why structure supports creativity, not stifles it

• Navigating creative careers without chasing money

• Consistency over intensity in creative practice

• Humility, relationship-building, & long-term reputation

• Being present on the dancefloor in a digital age

• What decision did you once make casually that changed everything later?

• How can you create more consistency without pressure?

• What would happen if you stopped chasing outcomes & focused on devotion instead?

• Where could you leave more room for surprise, mystery, or play?

Leaving well is not about abandoning things. It’s about honoring what served you — spaces, people, roles, identities — so you create sacred room for who you’re becoming next.From physical spaces to digital files, from client opportunities to the woman you were last year — each goodbye becomes a deliberate act of reverence and readiness.

Tie in Naomi’s podcast. Leaving doesn’t have to be messy or dramatic; it can be sacred. 

Some practical ways we let go, allowing space for more aligned blessings

Examples to weave in:

• Clearing Google Drive

• Cleaning phone footage & desktop files

• Decluttering the home & closets

• Unfollowing Instagram accounts

• Organizing IG saved folders

• Leaving Facebook groups that no longer fit

 4. Sacred Completions Before the Chapter Ends

Here’s where you introduce two major “soul decisions”:

This models what courage looks like: saying yes to a calling before the timeline feels perfect.

• What nudges are calling you right now? Even if it doesn’t ‘feel like the right timing.’

• Are you chasing misaligned work? Where do you need to say no so that you can allow more aligned client work that represents your worth?

Here’s where Lawrence’s music comes in beautifully:

Talk about how his signature style — that blend of joy and longing — mirrors this exact emotional space:

• Gratitude for what was

• Soft ache for what’s passed

• Wide-open welcome for what’s next

Use it as a sonic metaphor for leaving well:

“There’s a frequency that makes us feel full-hearted… a little sad… and wildly alive. That’s what closing chapters feels like when you do it consciously.”

This is the emotional peak of the episode.

How can you use feng shui to release what no longer serves your life or business?

Letting go is not loss. It is energetic realignment.

In this episode of Ripple FX, we explore the art of saying goodbye & how releasing old identities, clutter, & misaligned relationships creates space for abundance, clarity, & a more expansive life abroad.

This conversation is for the global creators who feel themselves standing at the edge of a new season but can’t quite step into it yet.

In this episode, we unpack how feng shui & conscious identity evolution aren’t just aesthetic choices, they’re spiritual strategy.

• How feng shui helps release stagnant energy in your home, business, and body• The power of saying goodbye to former identities so you can become who you’re meant to be• How traveling and location shifts make personal evolution easier• “Feng shui-ing” your relationships and social media for emotional clarity• Why holding onto comfort may be the very thing delaying your expansion

• Naomi Hattaway’s Leaving Well Podcast

• Choose one area of your life to consciously release this week• Touch your possessions and ask, “Does this still bring me joy?” Marie Kondo Style! • Clean one digital space on your phone or computer that feels heavy• Reflect on one old identity you’re ready to outgrow• Notice who leaves you feeling lit up versus drained & honor that data

Community, collaboration & aligned relationships expand your business more than going it alone.

In this episode of Ripple FX, we explore the quiet power of business besties & why entrepreneurship grows deeper, stronger, & more sustainable when you stop trying to carry the entire mountain yourself.

We’ve been taught to glorify independence (especially in the U.S.), but true expansion happens through interdependence. When you let the right people into your world, the ones who share your rhythm, your mission, & your values, you feel held, supported, & stretched in the best ways. 

Topics we cover in this episode: 

• How collaboration creates more opportunity than competition ever will

• The role of aligned friendships in your creative expansion

• How to build relationships that feel nourishing, mutual, and rooted in shared values

• How to navigate the ever-changing landscape of online business with people who “get it”

Practices to implement:

• Identify the people in your current orbit who feel aligned with your mission

• Look for collaborators who complement your skills

• Reach out to someone whose work you admire and open a door

• Keep showing up in the spaces where your values naturally intersect with others

In this episode of Ripple FX, we explore how mastery, adaptability, & flow shape the way you move through life & business. Just like jazz, there’s a rhythm, a structure, & a foundation, but your essence only kicks in once you let yourself play.

Without grounding, everything feels chaotic. Without improvisation, everything feels rigid.

When you understand your craft deeply, you gain the confidence to pivot, evolve, & respond to what life (& your audience) brings your way.

This is about building a business from the inside out, through practice, intuition, & presence, while trusting that the unexpected moments are part of the melody.

We explore:

•  How “life is like jazz” applies to entrepreneurship, creativity, & personal evolution

• Why mastery gives you freedom, not restriction, in your business

• The power of showing up consistently (your rhythm) before experimenting (your riff)

• How to stay open to aligned opportunities you didn’t plan for

• What moving abroad taught us about surrendering & trusting your foundation

The goal isn’t to control every note; it’s to build enough mastery that you can improvise without fear.

When you do, you’ll feel more grounded, confident, & flexible in the way you serve, create, & respond to change.

Practices to implement:

• Portable rituals: Create routines (like morning practices) that travel with you and anchor your energy anywhere in the world

• Creative mastery: Keep refining your craft (your voice, your offers, your storytelling) so experimentation becomes effortless

• Letting life co-create: Plant seeds without obsessing over how the harvest should look

In this episode of Ripple FX, we discuss how you can use feminine & masculine archetypes to create alignment in your business (& life). Without awareness, we often default into imbalance, either hustling without joy (too much masculine) or staying stuck in ideas without action (too much feminine). When you can name the energy you’re operating from, you can shift, integrate, and ultimately build a brand that feels magnetic and authentic.

This is about building your business from the inside out, not just through external strategies, but by deeply knowing yourself and the energy you bring to every client interaction, piece of content, or offer.

We explore:

• The difference between masculine & feminine archetypes (structure vs. flow, action vs. intuition)

• Signs of imbalance in business (burnout vs. procrastination)

• How to integrate both energies for better alignment in your life & business

• Practical tools to shift between masculine and feminine modes

• A behind-the-scenes look at how we balance these energies in both our relationship and our business

The goal isn’t to choose one energy over the other, but to become aware of which archetype you’re operating from & to practice weaving both together. When you do, you’ll notice more balance, ease, & alignment in your daily life!

And here’s the ripple effect: the energy you embody doesn’t just stay with you. It flows into your business, your relationships, your brand, & the clients you attract. By integrating both masculine & feminine archetypes, you create a ripple that shapes not only how you show up, but also how others experience & respond to your work.

Practices to implement:

• Self-awareness check-ins: Ask, What energy was I in during that meeting, content piece, or decision?
  

• Daily balance: Scheduling action blocks & boundaries (masculine) while also allowing unstructured creative time (feminine)
  

• Content strategy: Pairing posts that sell or call to action (masculine) with posts that share behind-the-scenes, vulnerability, and process (feminine)

In this episode of Ripple FX, we discuss the power of storytelling in entrepreneurship, how your personal story weaves into your brand, content, and entire business ecosystem.

We start with a piece of our own story: from a shower thought in Atlanta that sparked a record label, to our beach wedding in Cancun, Boca (our furry co-explorer) joining us on the shore in Boca Raton, Florida & years of global travel.  Along the way, we’ve learned how storytelling isn’t just about sharing your past; it’s about creating alignment, connection, and flow in your business & life. 

We explore:

• Why storytelling is hardwired in our brains and how it helps people truly listen, remember, and connect.
  

• How archetypes (like our own Explorer brand) act as anchors for your message and keep your content authentic.
  

• Why you don’t need to share your whole story at once, each piece of content can be seen as one “scene” in your larger brand movie.
  

• How major brands like Nike and Apple use archetypes to filter their message and build lasting emotional resonance.
  

• A fresh perspective on the climate of social media today, why we call it the “Tower of Babel 2.0” & how soulful storytelling is the real rebellion against digital noise.
  

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or simply someone wanting to share more consciously, this episode will help you reframe storytelling as a tool for connection, alignment, and impact.

In this episode of the RippleFX podcast, we explore the power of local presence and how it creates a global echo in your digital brand, relationships, and ripple effect. We also unpack digital vs traditional (IRL) marketing, and why the future isn’t one or the other, but the fusion of both.

We reflect on what it’s meant to stay in Malta for over a year, how that physical rootedness has amplified our online credibility, and why merging in-person energy with digital strategy is more impactful than ever in 2025.

This episode is for you if you're growing a digital brand or hosting events and wondering how to deepen your impact by simply being where your feet are. It's a reminder that slowing down, connecting with your local environment, and showing up in person can spark real momentum, on and offline.

• How long-term presence in Malta has created social proof online

• The shift from pandemic-era digital overload to the 2025 craving for real connection

• The story of how we built our business while living in the Philippines by turning daily life into networking + pitch practice

• Why Lawrence’s DJ gigs and QR code strategy turn live energy into lasting online relationships

• The surprising power of word-of-mouth invitations over paid digital ads

• Why digital marketing should support, not replace, in-person connection
  

Are you over-relying on digital strategy when the real magic might be in your physical presence?
