À travers un parcours de transformation radicale — tatouages, implants, BDSM, performance — Luka Zpira utilise son corps comme un véritable outil pour incarner une autre version de lui-même, plus profonde, plus consciente.

Loin des fantasmes futuristes, il déconstruit le mythe du cyborg, qu’il considère déjà obsolète, en révélant les limites physiologiques, technologiques et les enjeux de dépendance liés aux systèmes et aux brevets.

Son chemin passe aussi par une rupture totale : + d'1 an d’errance sans repères, une immersion qui transforme autant le corps que l’esprit, et qui lui révèle une autre lecture du monde. Là où beaucoup voient du chaos, il voit une opportunité de réinvention totale.

Face au regard des autres, souvent intolérant, il affirme une chose simple : exister librement dérange. Mais c’est précisément dans cette singularité, et dans l’acceptation de ses parts lumineuses comme de ses parts sombres, que se construit une identité authentique.

Il aborde aussi la sexualité comme un espace d’exploration et de conscience, libéré du seul objectif de procréation, où plaisir et douleur deviennent des vecteurs d’expérience et de transformation.

Enfin, il met en garde contre une spiritualité devenue marchande, et invite à se réapproprier ses propres rituels, loin des dogmes et des illusions.

Un épisode sur la transformation, la liberté, et le courage de devenir pleinement soi — même quand ça dérange.

A Simple and Powerful Daily Routine that will Change your Life

Original video: https://youtu.be/IDobE8WSVac

Vishen Lakhiani: This would be the prescription that I would give you, right, if I was a doctor for your soul.

Helene Clabecq: Hi guys, I am Helene Clabecq, I cover the journey of people who challenge the status quo. Today I'm visiting Vishen in Estonia. He's the founder of Mindvalley, author of the Code of the Extraordinary Mind, acclaimed speaker and overall superhuman dedicated to upgrading humanity through transformational education that includes spirituality. I'm taking you to a customized course on lofty questions. It's a simple equation that Vishen spent 15 years researching that will help us overcome self-sabotage, embrace abundance and bend reality. 

 Helene Clabecq: Okay Vishen, so you are the expert at helping humans transcend into their higher selves, would you have a technique that you would be willing to teach me in order to train myself to becoming more performant or more mindful?

Vishen: Well first, we were talking about that earlier, you told me about a situation you're in about self-doubt that's sabotaging you, so let's go deeper into that. Explain to me and to the people who are watching what you're feeling right now.

Helene: Right okay, so basically I have been through several steps of awakening as they're

described in your book as well and after realizing the human potential in a way, I started doubting myself. I've been facing a contrast, like beautiful things happening and not being willing to embrace them.

Vishen: I just want you to know that's really normal. I'm facing that right now as well in my career, my business has doubled in the last six months and it's hit this ceiling where I'm starting to go: “is this true? Can I really deal with this?” and beginning to see that those thoughts are actually slowing down my growth and causing unnecessary stress so I'm coming from the same situation within our respective zones.

So to overcome that, what you got to understand is that there are so many different mindsets that people talk about that put us in a state where it seems as if the Universe has our back and everything in life is flowing effortlessly, but if you read all the advice out there, there are different people to say these are different things. 

Some people talk about the law of attraction, some people talk about hard work, some people talk about being in a state of flow, some people talk about bliss, some people talk about looking at the positive.

Helene: That's right.

Vishen: so what I want to do is I want to put this all in an equation, so over the last 15 years of my life, I've personally gone out and interviewed hundreds of people including billionaires all the way down to spiritual healers who are able to do things that science can't explain.

Okay, so first the word I use is “living in a state of bending reality”. Bending reality is this ability which I believe we all have to make the world shift to a degree where it feels as if a lot as magical.

It feels as if we are lucky, it feels as if synchronicities, coincidences, the right people are coming to our life at the right time, but there is an equation which I think best reflects this.

The equation is this: the first is self identity. 

Self identity is the most important thing, this is the problem that you are facing. Your life has grown, but your self identity hasn’t grown. My life has grown, my self identity hasn't grown. So we are hitting this roadblock. You see, Michael Beckwith, he's one of the people I interviewed, he said: The Universe doesn't give you what you focus on, it gives you what you are. He says it's not about the law of attraction, it's about the law of resonance. The world will resonate with you, so you become first, and then the world adjusts as to who you are, so you can focus like crazy on that new job or that new opportunity but if you are not becoming the person who is worthy of that new job, or that new opportunity or if you doubt that you are that person, you hit the brakes, so self-identity is the first thing.

Helene: In order to attract that, we need to vibrate at a higher level.

Vishen: Exactly now the next thing over here is smart work. A lot of people say “work hard”, I don't believe in that, work hard, and everyone I interviewed, work hard was the stupidest advice, no one actually works hard, they work smart.

Helene: Except for Gary V.

Vishen: Gary Vaynerchuk is simplifying it for the audience he's speaking to. If you're a young teenager and you want to start your first company and it's a decision between working hard or continuing to play on your Xbox, then you want to get your ass moving, right? 

But it's about smart work, smart work is assembling a team, looking at culture, productivity hacks, but again a lot of people are obsessed with this, it's only a tiny bit.

Now with smart work, times what I call bliss, okay so bliss means elevated states of happiness, times clarity, so clarity is how clear are you on what you want, times mission, intuition.

Intuition is your ability to listen within. You were telling me that you started meditating and you get these intuitive feelings, so these five are divided by negative emotion on a scale of one to ten squared. 

The negative emotion wipes everything out. 

This is a very powerful pulldown factor. Okay, now look at this: one two three four five six things right at the top, the biggest one is self identity, and the biggest one that sucks you down is negative emotion. Now think about what you're experiencing. Your self identity has not matched to what it is that you're pulling in, and when it doesn't match you get fear, you get anxiety, so you pull yourself down because all of those negative emotions multiply, so what you want to focus on is this. Yes, you want to focus on smart work, you want to focus on elevated emotions, you want to know what your mission is on the planet, how you're gonna serve and you want to listen to your intuition. You're doing all of this. 

Helene: Yes, everything is crystal clear.

Vishen: It is the gap that is causing this to emerge. Do you want to learn the technique to overcome it?

Helene: Hell yes, please.

Vishen: Firstly, my skill is as an integrator so I don't profess to be the genius who knows everything, but I seek out the geniuses who know everything and this is why on MindValley we have hundreds of speakers and we have so many of the world's great teachers and authors and I try to bring in their best ideas.

There's one particular teacher that I think has the best idea for self identity work and that particular idea is called lofty questions. The teacher's name is Christie Marie Sheldon and I want to give credit where credit is due. 

Let me explain lofty questions. Firstly, have you heard of affirmations? 

Helene: yes

Vishen: Okay, so affirmations are when you look in the mirror and you say: I am brilliant, I am beautiful, I am intelligent”, but there's a problem with affirmations. 

If your self identity is not ready, your self identity will doubt the affirmation. So you can say “I have an amazing body”, but in the back of your mind, there's a voice saying “no you don't, you ate a giant pizza yesterday”, so the doubts creep in. 

There's a way to trick the mind. You use a technique called lofty questions. You don't make a declaration, you ask a question. The question is: “why do I have an amazing body, why am I so clear on my mission, why is life so easy for me, why are so many people attracted to me, why do I have such an amazing time with my teammates, why is my work so effortless and easy, why do I love writing so much or why does my writing flow so effortlessly”…

You ask the why question. 

When you asked a why question, what happens is that your brain doesn't come back with a negative your book but rather your brain now has to come up with a solution so the negativity goes down, the doubt, the barrier goes down but what you start finding is that your brain is brilliant at solving problems and when you ask a wild question your brain will attempt to address it and you will find that your identity starts to ship and the right solutions come into play. 

You want to take whatever it is that is your vision for your life and flip it into a question.

Let's create lofty questions for you right now. I have 27 lofty questions I create for myself. I am committed to memorizing 27. Of course it is a lot, but it happened over the last three years and I ask myself these questions everyday. The questions include questions such as: why do I have such a great relationship with my children, why do I love the people I work with, why do I have two New York Times bestsellers (it's not happening yet, I have one)? 

I ask those questions because the question shifts my identity to see myself as a better father, see myself as a better writer, and see myself as a better teammate. These questions really work and the questions don't have to be big goals. One of my lofty questions is really simple: why am I always surrounded by love? Another one is: why am I always growing and learning? 

Helene: And it puts you in this emotional state of being there.

Vishen: Exactly, because it changes your beliefs, you are reprogramming your belief system. How do you create a lofty question? You must know what goals you want, like one of my goals is actually to just experience love on a consistent basis, to love and be loved so my lofty question is not: why am I driving a red Ferrari; I don't give a damn about that, it’s why am I surrounded by love, and so I feel great love for the people I work with, for my family, for my children and from my friends, and that to me is one of my biggest sources of happiness.

So love is one of my first lofty questions and this one creates a ripple effect, in fact what are some of yours? Give me five goals that you have for yourself, five things you would like to see in your life.

Helene: Okay, why do I get to travel constantly?

Vishen: Okay that's good, why do I get to travel, so you already turned it into a lofty question that's perfect, why do I get to travel constantly but there's a problem there, you can travel constantly and be fed up with airlines and stuffy airplanes and jet lag, or you can travel constantly in a joyful state, which one is it?

Helene: the second one.

Vishen: Okay, so let's modify that: why do I get to see the world while having beautiful experiences. Does that make sense? You want to be complete. Okay so now you've made it complete. Now, let's go on to a second one.

Helene: Why am I the go-to journalist for game changers?

Vishen: why am I the go-to journalist for game changes, okay that's a good one. That's a beautiful one, it's very specific, I like that, so you've brought in clarity and the good thing about them also is that it ties to your mission a bit, that's great . What will happen now is your brain will start seeking out ways to make you to the go to journalist, you might stumble upon a book on how to be a great interviewer, you might stumble upon this incredible interview that you have been dying to bring this guest in, so that's a great one, let's go on to a third one.

Helene:  Why am I so confident in myself, in my feminine power? 

Vishen: Okay so rather than confident in my feminine power, why don't you simply change that to why am I so comfortable in my feminine power? 

Why I say comfortable is because comfortable includes everything: confidence, bliss, everything. Here's a tip to create a lofty question: think about a goal you want in life, if you had a genie, imagine what would be something you would ask the genie for? 

Helene: Maybe move back to the States.

Vishen: Okay, why am I living… Don't say why am I living in the U.S, because there's always a part of us that is the conscious mind desiring something but we have a soul that may desire something else. What if you think you want to live in the States but your future husband is in Berlin, so what you rather want to say is why am I living in the perfect city for me, does that make sense? Let’s move on to another one.

Helene: I love the one you mentioned about love, why am I surrounded by love?

Vishen: Yes, so you don't say surrounded by love, you want to make it more powerful, you say why am I always surrounded by love, your lofty questions should be complete, they should be holistic, they should involve emotion and they should also leave some room for the universe to fill in the gaps for things you are unsure of, so in addition to this equation, there is a particular state of mind where the equation works best and it's called alpha.

Alpha is the brainwave frequency, 7 to 14 cycles per second and it works best when you have high alpha amplitude and brain coherence. This is what happens when you meditate but this part over here, amplitude and brain coherence, this happens best when you reduce negative emotions, you reduce negative emotions by starting your meditation with compassion practices, that means seeing yourself expanding love to the world. 

You start with gratitude so what are you grateful for. Think about anywhere from 3 to 9 things, you spend some time on forgiveness, forgive yourself for any mistakes you made it the past that you regret, forgive other people who have hurt you; it could be an ex-boyfriend, it could be a parent, it could be a former person you worked with, but forgive forgive forgive. You should have no anger towards anyone okay, because all of that brings you down.

The first three phases are to remove all the negativity, then you go to lofty questions.

Helene: What's insane about this technique is that it really shows that all the power comes from inside, we can rewire our brains into transforming the reality that's around us.

Vishen: Exactly, so this would be the prescription that I would give you if I was a doctor for your soul.

Today I’m interviewing Tania Panés. We met at Las Dalias in Ibiza, and this bubbly women caught my attention as she was typewriting poems for strangers. Pretty unusual!

She isn’t satisfied with an ordinary life either and we’ve discussed the power of connection with strangers, facing fears, the way art can allow us to liberate our emotions, why vulnerability is a gift, why working on the streets has been her biggest teacher.

Some quotes that touched me during the interview:

“The first type I did it, I felt something meaningful I hadn’t felt in a long time”

“When I decided to travel with my typewriter, I felt like a shark liberated from an aquarium”

“People don’t know me, so they feel allowed to tell me whatever”

“We’re taught to not cry and repress our emotions, so I try to hold space for people”

“There is a fusion happening in the creation of the poem, the strangers and I become one”

“My typewriter is a 100 years old , its like a time machine”

“I’m asked to write about love all the time. I want people to ask me to write about belly buttons, dinausors or nuclear medicine”

“Working on the streets is the biggest teacher”

“People ask hi how are you, good and you? I don’t want that in my life. If I ask how you are I want to know, it might take 5 minutes to respond.”

“A lot of teenagers come to me and ask about being yourself, anorexia, self-perception.”

“Vulnerability is a gift”

“I am not interested in normality”

“Life means living fears behind and opening yourself to people”.

I met Marlen Annabel Kubri, Life Coach and Consciousness Teacher, at a tantra workshop during Mindvalley University, in Pula, Croatia.

While I was giggling with my partner, slightly uncomfortable, applying light strokes onto each other’s (dressed) bodies, feeding each other dry apricots and blowing on each other’s necks, Marlen, her, was literally screaming and shaking of pleasure.

Well, who wouldn’t want to feel that much? I had to ask her for her secret.

Luckily, she accepted to reveal her path towards intense sensitivity and to share her best tips with us:

Between ego death, tantra, three-way conscious relationships and body consciousness; she explains the lessons she applied in this episode, to turn a time of her life where she was stuck into the ability to manifest anything she envisions.

When I heard of Chris Lavish for the first time, Global Digital Director at Fashion Week Online, I thought “Not only does this guy unapologetically say what he thinks, but he has a style that’s impossible to copy. And he escaped the 9/5, And he’s woke”.

#Tribe!

I wanted to investigate more about the Lavish signature and learn:

-> What led the self-called “intergalactic tattoo module” to stop caring about people’s opinions to become his true self,

-> How he unlocked the money energy and the mindset that allowed him to access the traveling & influencer lifestyle that "many dream of, but few work for”.

The conversation turned into a podcast with one of the most genuine and fun persons I’ve met, filled with inspiration and motivational quotes.

I overheard Danni Lança’s music while walking nearby my hotel in Lisbon.

I picked up on certain words in Portuguese and figured he was singing about nature preservation and questions related to the future of our planet and species.

You know me, I sensed he had powerful messages to spread, so I waited for his break to ask for an interview:

“We need unification right now, he says.

There’s lots of differences and cultures on the planet and we forget we are one tribe.

You know, as a street singer; I’ve noticed the difference… I’ve been singing on the streets for 20 years, and people are not looking at me as much.

I sing in 5 languages though, so they understand what I say. And music is the most expansive art too. Say if I danced, passersby would only use one sense to notice me.

But if they don’t see me, how could they listen?

Popular songs nowadays talk about girls, gold and Ferraris. Those lyrics are low frequency and centered around ego.

But music has power and people cannot live without it, so I hope that musicians will start writing about more interesting topics, so we can bring a positive vibe and make a difference by talking about what’s inside humans rather than appearance.”

In my spare time, I sometimes like to do some modeling. 

So back in LA, I got it touch with Ratan to plan a photoshoot downtown.

He had recently moved to town and needed some content for his portfolio, while I wanted some nice pictures for myself (and Instagram :) ).

Turns out we were both keen on in-depth conversations and got to know each other quickly during the shoot.

I was floating from one emotion to another as we were telling each other’s about our passions, vulnerabilities, fears and dreams.

Truth is, Ratan is specialized in female portraits, with a focus on raw genuine emotions.

Over the last few nights, I had the honor of staying at the fantastic Palacio Belmonte while in Lisbon, Portugal.

Overlooking the tile roofs and the Tagus river.

Sleeping in one of the top ten most luxurious suites in the worlds and certainly the most exclusive private guest house I’ve stepped into.

Arriving on the premises right after a superstar singer and leaving just before an awarded actor.

It was a surreal experience, to say the least.

The cheeky and approachable owner, Frederic Coustols, welcomed us and I quickly got interested in knowing him more.

Frederic is someone who’d rather read a good book and have a one on one conversation than attending mundane dinners.

He’d rather share his home with guests, than owning an immense property alone and looking through the window.

He mingles with people from all walks of life, smoking cigars with a world-renowned artist in the morning, and talking about life with passers-by in the afternoon. It’s about human connections.

He’s seen both sides of the coin. Making his way up to becoming a multi-millionaire, losing it all and back again, he understood that happiness is within. And in accepting ourselves for who we are, and others.

Taking action by focusing mainly on vernacular architecture (a style that reflects local traditions) and starting ecological initiatives of environmental restorative projects rather than sitting still and watching the capitalist and consumerist model destroy the planet.

Frederic’s project, DaST, Develop a Sustainable Tomorrow: http://designasustainabletomorrow.com/about-dast/

The DaST projects value the relationship and connection with the local landscape, architectural history, traditional activities and social habits, introducing a new sustainable and contemporary way of life.

I met Gisèle Lubsen at her art gallery in Los Angeles.

She is a Conceptual Underwater Photographer who noticed that the combo of both water and photography can help people go through traumas and in general boost confidence by overcoming challenges.

Magic takes place.

In this podcast, we discussed how she applies her inspiration of Renaissance painters into her photography, and the emotional process that her models go through as they spend seconds or minutes without breathing to do the shoot, from fear to excitement, pride and sometimes healing.

02:00 Working for a startup is not all rainbows and sunshine

07:00 The importance of genuine connections: relationship businesses rather than transaction-based

10:00 Peace, love and purpose

14: Leaders are not invincible, they just internalize fear better

“I’m addicted to fear. People think leaders are invincible but the truth is, we have the same emotions as everyone else, we just process them better”.

Josh Fechter is without a doubt one of my inspirations as a founder.

You rarely see people as passionate as him about their business.

He does work incredibly hard, like most founders, constantly finding innovative solutions to disrupt the marketing industry, but what always stroke me is that he cares about people more than he does about cash.

The three words “Peace, Love and Purpose”, tattooed on his arm as a reminder of what guides him, lead the way to both his personal and professional decisions and I believe that the value he attaches to ethics stands behind his success.

By success, I could refer to the societal definition of success, stamped by multiple awards for his marketing, content & growth hacking expertise (Top Quora Writer , Forbe’s 12 Innovative Founders To Watch And Learn From, Maxim’s Top B2B marketing influencer, etc).

But I won’t.

That’s not what we discussed in the podcast.

I’m interested in the less talked about, nonetheless crucial definition of success which is, in my opinion: building strong and genuine human connections.

Josh Fechter has now formed a winning duet with his partner Houston Golden and co-founded together the “Badass Marketers & Founders Media” agency and of its associated Facebook community of 20 000+ people .

His secret to other entrepreneurs?

“Feel the fear and take the first steps anyways”.

• When you choose to keep hustling despite facing rejection and realizing that having a startup isn’t all just rainbows and sunshines…

• When you keep going because you’re led by your heart…

• When you wake up in the morning excited because you’re making a true impact in people’s lives and businesses…

That is, the real definition of success.

What’s yours?

Do you use your emotions as tools in business or do you shut them down?

Chase is hilarious and cute & I have to say I'm pretty impressed at how quickly he managed to build his success online, gathering over 2 million subscribers across different platforms in just a few years and at only 15.

I grabbed him for a quick chat as he came over, and asked him how he became an influencer, what kickstarted his career and what continually drives him to be so active on social media...

I met Jordan at a cacao ceremony in LA, a couple weeks back (random, you say). He's the type of guy that you simply get attracted to like a magnet. He has the biggest smile and the most positive mindset you'll know.

Proof is in his art: see, he is a rapper. But. He doesn't drop guns, BMWs and pussies in his beats. He rhymes about dreams, self-love, hard work and hustle. He makes music for entrepreneurs. 

If you're anything like me and follow people like Gary V, Tim Ferris and others, you know the mindset. 

I interviewed him about his secret sauce for putting everything behind to follow his creative career, moving to LA and saying hell no to the classic Ivy League - white collar - white fence life.

We instantly vibed as she also is a big believer of female empowerment. 

What she taught me however; was that there's a pretty common misconception of the definition of a successful career among us ladies : indeed; the path is very much different for each gender, and copying males can very much lead to unfulfilment; feeling the need to constantly prove ourselves, or being perceived as a bitch.

Rather; she taught me the importance of embracing who we truly are, taking into account our specific gifts from nature and embracing our differences: Listen to her story and how she came to those realisations after having hit the wall herself. 

Sum-up of the episode:

-  Feminine Vs Masculine energy

- Embracing your gender-specific power or taking it away from yourself

- Achieving the society-defined success but hitting the wall at a Tony Robbin's event

- Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure

- Western women will heal the world

- How copying men can turn you into a bitch

- The right way to use your guns as an attractive woman

I heard about Perry for the first time while listening to one of my friend's podcasts.

He was talking about his 10-week long traveling across the States in an RV with friends, Traveling Good, creating video content and promoting non-profit organisations, a pretty badass initiative.

 Turns out he comes from a small farm town and his first trip to California and then outside of the country has turned his life around and his curses into blessings.

He now is a filmmaker and storyteller and aims at exploring under-developed countries and ask indigenous people questions about their lifestyles to make us reflect on society, happiness, culture and all the choices that we make. Listen up!

There are few guerrilla street art projects that can catch your attention and trigger emotions in you like Catcalls of NYC does. Just imagine walking down the street and reading the sentence "come blow me" or "I deserve to touch that ass"  in rainbow colors under your feet... Impossible to remain impassive.

Sophie Sandberg started chalking pavements in New York shortly after puberty, when realizing that not only men were catcalling her on a regular basis despite her young age, 15, but that passersby weren't paying attention to it.

She decided to dedicate her studies and past time learning about gender equity and raising awareness on sexual harassment, in the hope of empowering both victims and witnesses to speak up.

If you have an account on social media, Instagram and Youtube in particular, you are likely to be following a couple of lifestyle influencers.

During my trip to Bali, Indonesia, the digital nomad Mecca, I had the chance of being introduced to the Youtube & travel influencer Riley Bennett by a common friend who had moved there from San Francisco.

We most often see the picture-perfect dreamy side of the digital nomade journey, but rarely get to know how to concretely get there and how the path looks like, from dreaming away to creating a successful and sustainable lifestyle as a traveler.

Riley kickstarted his journey after having a revelation when visiting a friend in Thailand, on his first trip outside the country. Seattle or the tropical life? The decision to move there was easy. 

Find out how he made it happen.

Riley's tips: the major keys to becoming a digital nomade

- Surround yourself with inspiration: watch your idols on Youtube, print pictures of your dream destination, talk to people that already live that lifestyle...

- Make the necessary sacrifices : Slept on a couch, sell your car, your clothes...

- Have a buddy and become part of a community of like-minded people 

- Set a starting point: a specific date or event that will kickstart your journey

- Have a clear and realistic financial plan for your business

- Don't give up, you can still succeed right on the edge of losing it all!

I met Thomas through a common friend who was visiting me from San Francisco.

We went to a co-working space for the day (we had the luxury of being able to work remote, which means no office, but no real holiday either).

Thomas was another French guy who had his quarters there.

I asked my friend for an introduction.

“- Never mind, you’re never going to get along. 

- Huh? Why?

- Because he’s just the extreme opposite of you. You just won’t connect, that’s all.

He’s just a mean guy!”

I was flabbergasted.

“- Alright, now I HAVE to meet him”.

Listen to his journey from being a social misfit, to finding his way and becoming an influencer with a voice (38 000+ followers on Twitter).

___________

Surdoué, Thomas avait de la colère accumulée due a l’incompréhension des autres, il se sentait trop intelligent pour être heureux.

Ill créait du conflit comme une manière d’exister. Puis ill a commencé a voir le gaming comme un exhutoire de ses émotions et de sa communication.

I met Sam while sitting with a friend in a coffee shop in Venice. He was nonchalantly doing a handstand in the middle of the inner garden.

We applauded him and he approached us, asking if he could "do something to make us happy, to cleanse his soul"...

Apparently, he had been doing certain things he felt guilty for earlier that morning, and wanted to make up for it somehow. He had an infectious energy and attractive vibe.

We asked for tips with job searching as I was applying for various positions and afraid of rejection...

That's when he brought up a challenge he had just initiated: 30 days of rejection.

Ask something for 30 days, for which you expect people to say no to.

So the point is that after that month, thanks to the power of asking, he'll likely not care at all about people's opinions, and dare to ask for what he wants without fear. 

We brought him home that day and made some art - his painting "Fuck fear" is standing on my side table as I speak, as a gentle reminder.

Turns out. He used to be scared. He used to be shy and he used to be afraid to ask for what he wanted. 

But he's been in situations where he HAD to ask for a hand. Robbed, with $1.87 left on his account and no place to stay at. Or newly landed in unknown grounds with no friends and without speaking the language. But he always figured it out. 

He's also been experiencing the other extreme of the scale, hanging out with billionaire Emiratis in Dubai, flying in private jets, partying on yachts and staying at Burj Al Arab, and understood that all the money, power and fame in the world won't make up for a life truly lived and experienced to its fullest.

Sam took me on a skydiving adventure shortly after to prove to me that I could overcome anything...

EPISODE #2 - LOCKEDART

In this second episode, I have interviewed a Venice artist on the art of being aware of little things and present in the moment, and the idea that it only takes a couple seconds to brighten someone's day.

He has been leaving hand-written quotes all over town anonymously for a couple years, such as "Trust your dopeness", "The world is full of nice people, if you can't find one, be one", or "Hey, it's going to be okay".

We discuss what let him to want to bring some of the European "joie de vivre" to Los Angeles, after having himself been able to travel, disconnect and enjoy doing "nothing".
