Kevin Carroll - The Psychology Of Play
“When I met Kevin, I saw a man who manages to preserve the wisdom of his inner child. This human ‘Katalyst’ is able to bring out of reality its magic and out of people its joy.”
Paulo Coelho
When I read the quote above on Kevin Carroll's website in 2020 I knew that I had to have the human 'Katalyst' on my show in order to ask him face to face what I can do in order to reconnect with the child within me once more.
During the time where I reached out to Kevin, I was working 100+ hours a week and I realized more and more that my bad Elon Musk lifestyle impersonation wasn't making my life better - quite the contrary was the case.
Instead of looking like a life champ, I started to look like a 70-year professor who couldn't speak or think about anything else that wasn't related to his work.
Even though my bank account and my library grew by the day - I realized that I had accidentally killed the kid within me in order to make room for the man that I felt I needed to be.

Dr. Dorothy Holinger - The Anatomy Of Grief
Grief is an emotional avalanche that we all know all too well...
It's the invisible hand around our throat that suffocates the joy out of our lungs when our favorite person leaves us prematurely.
It's the widening of our eyes that occurs when we receive that one phone call that informs us that our life as we know isn't there anymore.
It's the numbness in our fingers after we lost something or someone that meant the world to us.
But why precisely do we feel loss physically?
I didn't know the answer to that question before I reached out to Dr. Dorothy P. Holinger - one of the world-leading experts in grief.
Dr. Holinger knows a thing or two about the emotional and physical suffering that occurs when love is taken away from us...
Dr. Holinger was an academic psychologist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School for more than twenty years and in her private psychotherapy practice, she helped countless souls to cope with death and separation, and other life catastrophes.

My team and I put a great deal of effort into the invention of this behavior technology and we were excited to get feedback from customers so that we could create an even better journal out of it, so we uploaded it to amazon and waited... and waited... and waited.
After one entire month, we had one sale, and that sale came from my mother( shout out to you mom for always believing in me x).
That month taught me something - no matter how good the product, people need to learn that it exists.

Tash from Port Joanna— The Psychology of choosing what to give a fuck about 003
I have a very special guest today in the Grow Podcast: Tash from Port Joana. Natasha Nomathamsanqawenkosi Manzungu is as awesome as her name is long.
I am very happy that she found some time in her busy schedule to do the podcast with me. One of the goals of my psychology podcast is to portray extraordinary people who are successful in their own way. Tash definitely fits these criteria. She has a playful and hilarious way of describing her journey from Zimbabwe to the stages of Germany where she entertains thousands of people.
To me, success is when people actively design their life after their true desires and add value to the world. Even when it means to go against the grain. Tash very early decided against taking over her family empire because she wanted to follow her own calling in life. I think in this conversation there is a gold nugget for everybody.
Tash's journey is nothing short of a spectacular success story and I am excited to see whats next in her adventure.

Antonia Wetzel — The Psychology of Naked
In this Episode, I Interview the painter Antonia Wetzel aka Tonja. I was super excited when she agreed to jump on the podcast with me, and I believe there is a gem for everybody in this conversation. Tonja is not your typical artist, in her most recent project she decided to investigate social phenomena like exhibitionism, voyeurism and online nudity. Her work, in my opinion, is breathtaking.
In this episode, she talks about her ongoing project; drawing and painting tinder-matches who agreed to masturbate while being portrayed.
Antonia Wetzel does an amazing job of playfully explaining what painting means to her and why she decided to pick up the brush.
I decided to pick Antonia Wetzel’s brain because I am fascinated with people who found their purpose and who are doing what they love., this to me is success. And Antonia Wetzel’s view of sexuality, happiness, and art definitely helped me to expand my view on what it takes to be human.
