Interviews are Like Buses

interviewPodcast Usually these days, I am the one doing the interviewing on The Zone Show podcast.

The emergence of my new book, New Magic for a New Era, seems to have created a whole bundle of conversations where the tables are turned and I’m the interviewee. Like buses, there have been none for a while and then loads seem to have come along. So I thought it would be a good idea to collate them all into one place.

Getting Famous Publicity

Road to TreeEvery so often, it’s a good idea to take stock and reflect on where you’ve been before zooming off to new pastures and the scaling of new heights.

On this sunny Friday afternoon, after the most amazing week, I feel now is about that time.

This is the year that I plan to come out from the shadows and share the gifts I have been blessed with. In about 10 years, I have undergone some sort of ‘upgrade’ from bored IT consultant through to intuitive healer, spiritual mentor and guide, channel and general weaver of magic. This is an amazing blessing but presents itself with a challenge.

How do you take this story, along with the proposition of my books, courses and services, to the market?

Well, I consider myself a very lucky and fortunate chap and this year I have been blessed with the help and support of Tina Fotherby and her amazing team at Famous Publicity. This short interview tells the story of how we are going about it.

This World We Could Know

Whole World MetaphorI am really thrilled that my new book, This We Know is seeding new thoughts and forming a new movement.

We know that we know loads more than people say 100 years ago.

We know therefore that our descendants in 100 years will know new and different things that we don’t know.

What we also know is that the things we imagine today are the seeds of this new knowledge.

Accordingly, I’ve started interviewing some amazing New Thinkers about the kind of world they would like to see in 100 years time … or even sooner.

Five Wise Women

So when we have Three Wise Men, why might there be Five Wise Women?

Well men aren’t all dumb. It’s mostly, but by no means all, men that have flown other men to the Moon and split the atom asunder … but I reckon it’s long overdue that we started listening to the wisdom of women so I felt it intuitively right to tip the balance a little.

I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to chat to so many wise people over the last few years. If I look back though, the number of wise women I have spoken too far outweigh the number of wise men. So I reckon it’s high time that we take notice and listen to what they have to say. Men have had a crack at running the planet and look what sort of mess it’s got us into after all.

Have a listen to the chats below and have a listen to the interviews with Three Wise Men and make your own judgement on the shape and colour of wisdom that currently abounds us. In my view, neither is wrong, right or better but in both we should celebrate such wonderful different-ness and insight-fullness …
