George MacPherson: Evolution of PR, Sustainable Education & The Truth of Sound

On episode 58 I speak with George William MacPherson, a PR consultant, sound healer and overall inspiring man. We connected through the fashion and sport world and one of his clients but immediately I felt a unique connection to George. As I’ve got to know him and learn more about his journey of mental health alongside the evolution of his career, I wanted to dive in with him on the podcast. In this episode we speak about his childhood and growing up in nature, the journey from London to New York in the fashion PR world and his more recent parallel exploration of healing, the unconscious and the powerful medicine of sound and music.

Tete Bero: Remembering who we are, Heart Music & THE Medicine Sessions

On episode 57 of Into the Well, I speak with Tete Bero who I’ve connected with in Los Angeles over the last few years. He’s a musician, healer, wise man and one of my mentors – more recently we’ve dove into the plant medicine realms together and really connected on a deep level. I’m excited to share a piece of his story here as he shares about living in New York, traveling the world and creating a unique mix of musical cultures around the world and expressing himself through drums for a long time. After doing the score for DMT: The Spirit Molecule, he coincidently was connected with ayahuasca and it sent him on a long journey ever since. Recently Tete has been sharing music inspired by his teachings and what is really true for him, entitled The Medicine Sessions, you can listen to his work on Spotify. We dive into the current culture, appropriation, real safety and remember who we truly are.

On the latest episode of Into the Well, I reconnect with Manoj Dias after we first met in early 2020.

Manoj also released his first book, Still Together: Connection through Meditation and is coming out the other end of a breakup.

Mistlberger years ago, Ben is among the new wave of leaders that are bringing this work to a new generation of men, including myself.

Maria Sharapova: Life Transitions, Holistic Development & Strength Training

On this special episode I had a chance to sit down with Maria Sharapova as a part of a project with Tonal. Maria is well-known for her incredibly impressive tennis career but she's also a very dynamic human being, having overcome challenges, growing up in the eye of the global sports media since 16 years old, all while developing herself holistically. This led her to a diverse career of investment and interests which have been keeping her busy since retiring from tennis a little over a year ago. We speak about her experience over lockdown, retiring from the sport she loved, being coached by her father and the evolution of her 'game' on the mental and physical side as she began to integrate more strength training into her workouts.

Ö till Ö: Birth of Swimrun

In Johan’s latest exploration of self and physical endurance, he takes us on his journey of swimrun and racing in his first Ö till Ö: Stockholm archipelago, 24,000 islands. Rough rocky coastline, erratic weather, and heavy winds, raw nature. The unique feeling of the archipelago lays a magic roughness over its stony beach line and dark deep forests. The weather is unpredictable, changes fast and hard winds move over the islands with force. You come face to face with mother nature and you must respect it, trust it, and challenge yourself during a Ö till Ö swimrun.

Move Lab: Run Analysis & VO2 Max

Last month I visited Move Lab in Los Angeles for back to back days; doing a Precision Run Analysis and VO2 Max Test. The experiences were both exciting and challenging, with self-doubts coming up around my ability and even how my ACL would stand up to running full out. I got a lot more out of the experience than I anticipated and you can watch the two video episodes below on each of the sessions.

Episode 52: Dr. Dan Plews—Coaching Patience, Heart Rate Variability & Enjoying the Process

On episode 52 I speak with Dr. Dan Plews, researcher, sports scientist, physiologist and Ironman Kona age group recorder holder with a time of 8 hours 24 minutes. Impressive. Dan was one of the first people I found as I started learning about triathlon and I love his approach to training, nutrition and learning. He not only talks the talk, but walks the walk which is surprisingly uncommon in the health and science industry. He shares his insights into low carb diets for endurance training, some basics on how to set up your training and how to maintain the enjoyment in training and triathlon. We speak about the importance of structure in your life and how Dan gets that from triathlon, how he coach’s patience in his athletes and why Atomic Habits is the best book for everyone.
