A couple of weeks ago, my partner Rob Sykes and I had a super inspiring conversation with my dear friend Neo Heart. I’ve known Neo for nearly 10 years: he was my first photography teacher, and has always been a background light in my creative and artistic endeavours.

In this podcast, we touch on:

Neo is an artist and teacher supporting people to deepen their creativity by living more from heart. In 2003 an awakening experience with the Seiki Master Kishi-San left him with the ability to centre himself in heart, in ways that had a profound impact on his body/mind. Grounded, lucid, spontaneous movement and vocal expression became readily available, which he has been exploring and developing ever since in his healing practice, artistic mentoring work and his own life. He currently works with private clients and is the creator of the Fembot Oracle, a powerful tool, consisting of 78 long exposure photographic images and 78 texts. You can read his full story below.

I had the pleasure of having a beautiful in-depth conversation with the inspiring Kat Byles. Kat is a Business & Creativity Consultant, founder of the True Business model, a new paradigm that brings heart and creative inspiration into business.

Kat has been developing the True Business model over the past few years, after a burnout led her to leave her corporate job and come closer to nature. 

I love her work and am excited to introduce her to you. I've worked with her myself, and she's really supported me to get crystal-clear clarity on my purpose, essence and offerings, and to fall back in love with my business.

You can find out more about Kat and the True Business model at www.katbyles.com. She also offers a beautiful meditation at the end of our conversation to help you connect with your heart's vision for your business.

I apologise for the sound quality on this recording, which is not optimal: my podcasting microphone is currently enjoying a little trip to London!

We continue our journey into the theme of Beauty with Marianne Hartley, the founder of Hartley & Soul, a branding agency which creates “irresistible brands that capture all of your senses and leave you feeling connected to your heart.”
