Wriinkle Podcast

Thanks for listening

We're bringing you a Wriinkle Short this week while we have a short break in our usual podcast proceedings. 

So many people have listened to #014 and sent so many messages of support, questions and feedback to both us and Zach.

One of the parts that seemed to resonate with so many of you was where Zach was talking about when he first managed to foster a Flicker (small contraction) in his thigh by consciously trying to send signals from his brain to his legs.

Off the back of that we’ve been talking to Zach about Neuroplasticity and looking into what it’s all about and how is can be harnessed to create positive changes to your brain and it’s function.

I’m no expert so this is purely an introduction for those of you that haven’t got round to looking into neuroplasticity.

Here are some resources we found useful:

It's episode 14, thanks for joining us!

This is the 3rd of our 3 Barcelona podcasts. It feels like a particularly important one for us becuase we're speaking to our mate Zach.

Zach is an athlete and he's currently preparing for the London Marathon. Doing a marathon is a huge deal for anyone but in Zach's case it holds extra significance.

In 2012 Zach was on a coach that crashed on the way back to Liverpool from Bestival on the Isle of Wight. As a result he suffered a severe spinal injury - in short; a severed spinal cord.

Zach tells us in detail how he has gone from being repeatedly told by doctors that there was no way he would walk again to completing a half marathon on his feet and in a position where he's training for a full marathon.

Thanks for joining us.

This is the second of our 3 episode mini-series from our trip to Barcelona. We went out there to meet interesting people, sample the culture (try a few cervezas) and explore new ideas.

In this one me and Woodie speak to Dr Thomas Marshall. He's a chiropractor based in Barcelona and it's fair to say he turned us on to some incredibly interesting and life-changing ideas around the innate power of Chiropractic care. Tom talks about how he practices Chiropractic to enable his patients to realise their potential in health, happiness and brain function. 

Basiclally, if you thought Chiropractic was all about getting rid of back and neck pain...think again!

Thanks for joining us for episode 12!

This is the first of a 3 episode series recorded while we were in Barcelona. It was great to get over there and experience the culture, explore new ideas and meet some really cool, interesting people.

For this episode, we're sitting down with Joel Jaggar and Gill Siddle who took the plunge and left their 9-5 lives in London to move to Barcelona and concentrate on running their club night - Love Come Down.

Love Come Down is a disco fuelled night where the focus is purely on the music and atmosphere - Gill & Joel started off throwing a New Years Eve party and caught the bug from there. They've now run 20 LCD nights (so far) and are hitting music festivals this summer.

Also Gill talks about a book that seems really interesting, we've already ordered it:

Thanks for listening!

We’re speaking to entrepreneur and professional sportsperson Danny Carr this week. Danny is running a fast growing business, Athletes Kitchen, with his business partner and mate Sonny – he’s also a pro boxer who is 8 fights into his career and unbeaten. This all started under 3 years ago when Danny decided to free himself from his 9-5 job in the city and pursue his passions. He’s taken control of his life and we hear all about it in this episode. Danny gives us details on some techniques he’s developed to help him do all of this. This episode is boss!

We reference a few books but mainly:

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle

Wriinkle Podcast #010 is here!

Thanks for joining us again, if this is your first episode - Welcome! Each week we like to bring you inspirational, entertaining and hopefully even valuable conversations with people pursuing their passions. Some of our guests are juggling a day job with doing what they love, some have managed to get to a place where they’re following their passions full time and others are still trying to work it all out.

In this episode we’re so happy to bring you a conversation with Erin Corrian-Alexis. Erin is an artist and Product Designer but her main thing is creating amazing footwear. We went and met her for this podcast at a small studio that she's working out of in East London. At the moment she’s spending evenings and weekends there creating shoes for a London Fashion Week show. She does all of this around her day job where she’s also gaining valuable fashion industry knowledge.

Erin’s attitude and vibe is just boss and we all hit it off off right away when we met her just a few weeks before recording this. Just want to say a massive thank you to Erin for letting us pop in and speak to her, we had a great time.

Check her out on Instagram: @erincalexis 

Can’t wait to see where Erin takes things in 2018! We'll keep you all updated.

Remember we film all of our Podcasts and put them on Youtube too - search wriinkle

In this episode we're speaking to Apple Zappa. She runs her own clothing line (Bone Idol), is building momentum as a DJ and also makes her own music. She tells us about how she's changed her mindset recently - where she sets mini goals for herself that allows her to keep making progress in her passions while juggling it all with her day job. We also go into detail on how exactly she goes about marketing and selling her clothes.

We love this episode because there's a really nice contrast to last week - Joe & Jordan have managed to build their company to the point where they're travelling the world to keep growing. Whereas Apple is still at an early stage where she's working out where she actually wants to take things and how she's going to do it. Plus, like everyone we speak to, she's just enjoying the process and we got the impression that it is all about the journey and not the destination for her.

Apple mentioned the book #Girlboss by Sophia Amarouso - it's all about how Sophia went from being a high-school droupout to CEO of the fastest growing retail company in the world:

Thanks for listening! This is our fourth Wriinkle Short

Networking is so important but it can be really hard - we've picked a clip from the forthcoming Wriinkle Podcast where our guest, Apple, tells us a little trick she uses to make sure she doesn't miss out on networking opportunities. Me and my mate Michael also discuss some good networking bits we've experienced or heard about.

Looking forward to releasing the full podcast with Apple Zappa - she's a DJ, runs her own clothing brand and will be releasing music this year. We get in to how she's growing her apparel brand, how she started the ball rolling with her DJing and we talk about the peculiar things she comes across in her day job.

Also, in this Short I mention a Medium article:
