Virtuoso

In this new episode, I look into how Oxford Historian Peter Frankopan followed his childhood obsession to rethink the way we look at history through his book the Silk Road. I examine the artistry and clever concepts behind Beyonces thriving career as a top talent in the world of entertainment. I spin the globe and land in the far off corner of Angola, a country on Africa’s western coast. And finally, I interview my college bud Kasen about the process of finding his voice and creating his new lyric focused album.

Here’s what you can expect in this episode -

We’ll have a quick mindful moment to bring us together - today’s theme is productivity

At 4min45s,  I’ll takes us along trade networks which connected the East and the West, and give you an overview of the meaningful message in the Silk Roads book.

Next, I’ll talk a little about the wine I am sipping this episode - the single vineyard focused production of Nickel and Nickel in Oakville California

At 16min,  we’ll have the Sound portion - where we’ll discover what Beyonce has done with her decades in the limelight, and most excitingly how she’s bringing Africa forward with her Lion King partnership.

Following that - we’ll spin the globe and learn about a new location - this time it’s also in Africa, the coastal country of Angola.

At 22min, I’ll interview Kasen Shawn and dive into what it’s like to embark upon the three year journey of producing his first album.

Note, if you want to only listen to the interview, for friends of Kasen, you can play that segment alone by going to the excerpt episode which features just our conversation.

And lastly - we have our concluding segment - with the pennies and pounds notes.

Enjoy the Show.

In this excerpt - I look at one of the leaders of the smooth jazz scene Dave Koz.

While many of the songs on the Jazz Billboard chart topping  "Hello Tomorrow" album make you feel good and inspire the groove mood, there is one song that I particularly think has a nice message. It was written and sung by Dana Glover - it's called 'Start all over again … '

Haunting and clear lyrics

Take a step back, turn around

Look at the world that you've let down

My, my, such a disgrace

The damage is done you can't replace it

These are the things your mind will tell you

These are the things your heart will say

These are the things that leave you hopeless

These are the times you say

There is no way, no way, no way

But as long as you are breathing

Beautiful saxophone melody comes in right here

You can start all over again

It your heart's beating

You can start all over again

Goodbye Sorrow, you can start all over again

Hello Tomorrow, you can start all over

What are the lessons behind Miss Saigon? The fabulous tony and Olivier award winning musical from the late 80s and early 90s written by Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil, with lyrics by Boublil and Richard Maltby Jr., the same dynamic duo who wrote Les Misérables in 1985. The musical premiered at the Drury Lane theater in September of '89 and closed after 4,000 performances a decade later. What was the meaningful message and clever concept that led to such success? To learn more, click here and give a listen!

I think the meaningful message behind @MissSaigonUS is that hope of love can help you endure almost anything. Kim is deeply impoverished throughout the play, but holds on to the thread of hope that one day Chris might come back to her. To learn more, listen here!

In this excerpt, we’ll look into the career of and lessons learned from Frank Sinatra

I think the ‘Meaningful Message’ from Sinatra’s career is a lesson to have faith in yourself and never give up. It's made clear in this song 'my way' The decade of the 50s, was a particularly interesting time in his career. He lost his recording and film contracts early on as a result of some bad decisions. A few years later however, he made a triumphant comeback and won the Oscar for He's playing a soldier in the movie from here to eternity. Things looked on the up and up, but once again, towards the end of this decade, he lost his popularity. His sales slipped again because of the up and coming rock and roll music. So with a couple of his friends he went to set up his own record label, Reprise. However, he didn’t give up, and by the mid-60s, he was back on top, winning Grammys and becoming a main attraction in the adult playground of Las Vegas.  The career heights that he reached, especially after climbing from the depths of despair, is something that few public figures ever achieve. His words say it best.

I've loved, I've laughed, and cried

I've had my fill, my share of losing

And now, as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say, not in a shy way

Oh no, oh no, not me

I did it my way...

This wonderful story tells of one of our founding fathers, the secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton by blending hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway style music. As the show's creator, Lin Manuel-Miranda, likes to say “It's the story of America then, told by America now.” Through Alexander's story, we see the American dream realized. We see that with wit and determination, you can rise to the highest of your aspirations, even when you start from nothing.
