August 31, 2022 14 - Knowing thy Voice; the Ultimate Bio-hack.
Hello Humans! Welcome to the 14th Show housed in “The Human Theatre”.
I was recently asked to give a presentation at a local conference, and for today’s show, I thought I would replicate the presentation I did.
Against the backdrop of our modern world, and all that comes with being alive, it is even more important to be able to be who you are, and live it with conviction. You can be stripped of EVERYTHING in your life; your house, your money, your clothes, your family, but NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE can ever take away your essence, your innate wisdom, your authenticity; who you are. At the end of the day, all you have is yourself; your body your only home. It’s a bittersweet revelation, but truly embodying this truth paves the way to relinquish a LOT of anxiety surrounding things that are outside of who you are, which, essentially, anything outside and external from you is merely ‘noise’.

August 17, 202212 - How a Guitar Prodigy finds his Work-Passion Balance (ft. "By Your Side") with Josh Buchalter.
Hello Humans, and welcome to the 12th Show housed in “The Human Theatre”. Today I got to sit down with an academically, sports and musically-talented individual who, by day, does the things a Software Developer does (I still don’t know exactly what it is he does), and by night, turns into a Rock G-d, and I am lucky enough to call him my Older brother.
Josh Buchalter did his honours in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, graduating with Distinction (of course). He currently works as a Full-time Software Developer, and on the side, is also a passionate guitarist and performer. If you can’t find him at work or on the stage, Josh will probably be on the golf course or playing any other sport.
At the end of our chat, Josh and I thought we’d do a Live recording of one of my original songs called “By Your Side”. So, if you make it to the end, you have a little treat of a live performance with Josh and Myself in our family home. (Alternatively, you can just fast-forward to the end…whatever preference you have! I won’t judge).

August 10, 2022 11 - Real Talk: Eating Disorders, Recovery & The Journey with Ryan Mitchel Brown.
Hello Humans! Welcome to the 11th show housed in “The Human Theatre”.
Today’s guest is Ryan Mitchel Brown. Eight years ago, Ryan suffered from Anorexia and Orthorexia. He went through the “standard of care”, or as he calls it in the episode: weight restoration, but developed binge-eating disorder, however, because he was at a “normal” weight (according to BMI…which, you know how I feel about BMI as a metric), his eating disorder was ignored.
Ryan continued his eating disordered behaviours until his body went into shutdown mode, after which he developed an autoimmune disease; Small Fibre Neuropathy.
In a desperate attempt to reclaim his health, Ryan researched his way into Functional Medicine and healing through a whole foods, animal-based diet.
As he began to heal himself, he became impassioned to become a recovery coach for others, helping them overcome their mental and physical health obstacle.
Today we go deep into Ryan’s story, Eating Disorders and mental health, Eating Disorders and Mental Health recovery, health through an ancestral lens, the pillars of health, and our thoughts and experiences in triumphing over some of our hardest times. All in the name of normalising the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of being a Human in this world.

Hello Humans! Welcome to the 10th Show housed in “The Human Theatre”.
Today’s guest is milliner extraordinaire, Crystal Birch. She is a leading lady in the sartorial landscape of South Africa - and when it comes to hats or anything adorning the head, she is the go-to for the countries’ most creative characters. Crystal turned her degree from the Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion on its head (excuse the pun) by preserving the art of millinery; while simultaneously re-introducing us to the inherent power that only the hat can hold for completing a look.
Crystal embodies creativity, and I am SO here for it!
