Hey all,

Just a quick one as we come to a close in 2022. I wanted to have a mini chat on some reflection and subtle progress, which, to me, is what most of us need or like to do at this time of the year, not just because it's the new year around the corner but almost like a check-in point, which I tend to do throughout the year. On a personal level, the subtle elements are what I spoke about in an earlier episode this year. It's a robust thought process instead of throwing everything in at the end of the year is tricky and unrealistic for most.

I chatted about the two single music campaigns and what has been happening. Trial and error, but overall happy with what has happened. There are also some areas I've been learning within my Psychology studies. It's been such a broad and pleasurable element of learning; also, I'm combining alongside my degree my counselling training (exciting). Some mini-life reflections along with mega Business challenges and the quote 'Creativity as an Element of the Good Life' from the excellent Carl Roger's book 'Becoming a Person' Chapter 9 'A Therapists View of the Good Life: The Full Functioning Person.' 

I hope this short clip makes you think over the coming weeks about your situation and what you're thinking about in terms of reflection and some subtle progress.

Lastly, I've just looked at the podcast stats from this year. Even though it's been a slower year in terms of content for me, it's still had some excellent interaction, which I'm super happy to hear and see.

Key stats are below. 

The U-Turn Podcast 2022.

-      73% more content than the average for the education sector.

-      5 Episodes.

-      79 mins worth.

-      Top Country = UK.

Thanks all for checking in and listening

All I can say is bring on 2023, and I promise there is so much juiciness to follow!

Hey guys,

So good to be back and to share more on this latest release, Dreaming. 

Like As They Fade, I just had a little chit-chat into the background of this particular release, what's been learnt so far, plus the importance of this learning as an independent artist and more.

What's exciting and coming up next is the Lyric videos for both. You can follow and keep up to date via the Linktree link below. One-click to all the helpful stuff currently happening.

Next up is 2023. The plans have started, and the backlog of releases, podcasts, blogs and more to follow.

See you for E3 soon!

Hey guys,

As we enter into this next phase for the show we are excited to share the new single "As They Fade' which was released on 28th July 2022. 

Firstly before diving into this I wanted to personally give it a month to let the release breath and provide a mini insight into it's background, and also it's current performance through Spotify and also other pillars I've been working towards. 

This is the first of a few vocal tracks to come out and each release I will be speaking a little more on their backgrounds to give you an idea on what's been going on.

Here's the link for your choice of listening platform > https://linktr.ee/alexover 

See you next for E2! :)

Hey!

So here we are, the first months worth of Podcast listening. If you have listened to each one, thank you! It's like I've described as a building block and will take some time to put all of this together. 

In the meantime I do hope it's been of an interest so far and looking forward to continuing this, a couple of weeks off the show to go back and reflect to see what the next items to add will be.

Enjoy this one as I go into more about an experience I did with a short course on Film Music through NFTS [National Film and Television School] it was an excellent three days and fitted today's subject so nicely.

Enjoy!

Alex Over is a Music Composer at heart, aspiring Psychologist in mind, a joint Business owner by adoption, an active Tennis Player by far, and a fanatic reviewer for the City of London. Alex will be correlating these aspects within his new Blog and ongoing Podcast, The U-Turn Podcast, which will feature insights into how these aspects have moulded him into the person he is today. He will be sharing his thoughts through the perspective of his everyday life experiences in Music Production, Psychology Studies, Business Challenges, playing Tennis and leaving reviews in exciting locations in London that have inspired him to look further than ever.

I am following up on this week's blog, where I discuss the importance of the now and that one step ahead thought process.

Going to bring an example from a tennis session I had and the importance of being in the now and not making so many mistakes on the next shots; the simple answer I was told are you thinking about where the next shot is going? I said, no, not really intentionally; I'm in the now, and this was the fundamental mistake, not because being in the now is incorrect but the one step ahead, which I lacked. It's the two steps forward, one step back concept. It made me feel a lot better, and I made these adjustments and tested myself this week with other areas of my life to see where else I could be making a mistake; try it for yourself. Simple stuff but isn't it always usually down to this?

Like each week, I'll be featuring one of my tracks, and this week brings to you a track called 'Airing', which was one of the first tracks of the new portfolio work I started a few years back.

I am following up on this week's blog, where I discuss business and how vital the critical fundamentals are to survive even in the most challenging situations, especially when considering where the world is currently. I'll bring in some Psychology elements and factor in some experiences I've had with people: who to stay clear of and who to stick around with.

It's a tricky subject, the nature of these challenges that many of us have faced, and to be on top of it as best as possible. Try to allow yourself to narrow it down where it's not too overflowing, but discuss some areas to give you some good insights to think about your situation and what it means to you.

Next week, I'll be talking about the importance of the now, what this means in my context and what this could do for you and your situation.

Like each week, I'll be featuring one of my tracks, and this week brings to you a track called 'What's Wrong', which I made towards the end of last year.

Welcome to the new series of the U-Turn Podcast.

[Season 2, Episode 1]

It does feel great to be back behind the microphone and speaking again via this platform. The purpose of today's show is purely an introduction to provide a sample of what's to come, and all I ask is to bear with me while I put this new concept together; the ideas and format are there it's just a new approach and to what I'm looking to achieve from this.

The previous season was interview-based and started just before the pandemic and was tricky for what I was looking to achieve, so a needed re visit, and here we are.

I love doing the podcast, and I'll be talking about Music Composition, Psychology Studies, Business and everything in between. The best place to follow my movements will be Instagram and my website.

See you on Episode two, which will be a follow up from Monday's Blog around the importance of Business, who to stay clear of and who to keep near you.

Following from yesterday's Part 1, here's Part 2 with Niaby Codd. 

If you missed yesterday's show.  Would advise going back, and check it out + full description and links within this too.

I want to say a big thank to my guests. As explained in previous I'm putting the show aside for the time being, with that in mind a more robust and more direct approach for Season 3, when will that be? Not sure but it will happen either way.

And lastly, thanks again guys, I can see the number of people who listen to this show, especially the guys in the States, UK and certain parts of Asia. Makes me super happy and more pumped to come back with a bang.

Stay safe, and see you again soon!

Hey guys,

I've decided that after this two-part interview, I'm going to hold fire. A couple of reasons, firstly, the objective was to do face to face interviews, but of course, due to the current situation, I have decided to hold tight; this is just purely down to personal preference and what feels right for this particular show.

Still, on a positive note, I've promised myself and to you the regular listeners that when the show comes back, it really will be more than it has ever been, I'm going to invest some quality time in the background to think about the next step up for it.

Once the time is right, you will see and hear from me again. It also allows me to continually focus more on my Music Productions and Psychology degree, which at this moment in time is creating a lot more momentum.

On another note, let me introduce you to my final guest Niaby Codd for this series (short and sweet series). A lot to take from this, a different spin entirely, even though it's not to do with just Music, there is still so much relevance around that subject, and certainly something for everyone. Based in Ibiza, you will get some insights and another side to the island, and overall, I found it fascinating.

Niaby is an ex stockbroker who saw the light in the darkest hour of poor health and recognised her soul's call to walk a different path.

That path has led her to be of service to spirit as she gently brings through words of wisdom from a higher source. Niaby is a healer, a spiritual medium and an inspirational speaker. She hopes to inspire people to find the power to heal themselves, so in turn, they too can inspire others to do the same.

Niaby is the author of the channelled book 'The spirit of Life' and is also the host of 'The Spirit of Life in Ibiza' podcast.

Niaby hopes to gently inspire consciousness in others, not by telling them how to think but rather by provoking thoughts in people that may not have previously provoked then allowing the seed of consciousness to grow.

See you for Part 2 tomorrow!

Hey guys,  

Welcome to Part 2 of The U-Turn Podcast's Interview with Bradley Gunn Raver.  

So as you heard/read from Part 1, without repeating myself we covered quite a bit. Now it's time, for the even more interesting part, where we talk about the Music industry and Bradley's personal experiences, through to mindsets and the people within it.  

Let's get straight in!
