Ep 17: The Art of Fiction: How to unlock your creativity, work through writers block and craft compelling stories with Ben Sanders
Today on the show we have critically acclaimed author Ben Sanders. Ben is a bestselling crime writer from Auckland, New Zealand. His work has received critical acclaim, been shortlisted for the Ngaio Marsh Award, and his fourth novel, American Blood, has been optioned for film adaptation by Warner Bros, with four-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper slated to play the lead role. In this conversation, Ben and I sit down and chat about his career, his writing style and his inspiration as an author. I pick his brains about his process and we talk about all things in the realm of creativity and being. I truly loved this conversation and I learnt so much about what the daily life of an author looks like. Before we hit record we spent ages bonding over our love of Cormack Mccarthys brilliant literary work, meditation, consciousness and basically everything that this podcast was created for. Before we start today’s episode I would like to acknowledge the time between episodes. It’s been awhile now since we’ve released an episode and it’s not because the show is rapping up but purely life has been super busy. I work as a music producer full time and I moved into a new recording studio on the terrace in Wellington and getting the studio up and running took up all my time and energy that once it was under way; I was really trying to focus on the studio. Then I started my own album of songs and a novel I’ve been wanting to write for years. So since this podcast is all about art and being; that’s precisely what I’ve been doing and why there haven’t been any episodes for awhile. We will be taking another break over summer so this episode will be the final episode of season 1. We will kick off season 2 next year once I have got life under control and a bunch of amazing episodes recorded and ready to go. Also thanks to the amazing @rabbitislandcoffee from Mapua in Nelson. Their coffee is all hand roasted by a couple of amazing and inspiring human beings and im sure you’ll agree if you try it; thats it’s probably the best coffee in the country. Also thanks again to @taylahmusicnz for letting us use the song Okay that we Produced as the shows theme song.

Ep 16: The Art of Dharma: How to live in service of your art and open yourself up to profound creativity with Abraham Kunin
Today on the show we have Abraham Kunin. Abraham is a Music Producer, Songwriter, Musician and Mentor who is known widely for his stunning work Producing the Dalai Lama’s album “Inner World” which reached #1 on the worldwide new age charts and #2 on the global iTunes album charts. In this conversation we dive into Abrahams journey to where he is now, parenting, producing, mentoring, philosophy, spirituality, psychedelics, working with your partner and of course his work on the brilliant Dalai Lama album “Inner World” and the whole story behind that. It was such a privilege to sit down with Abraham and chat about his journey. He’s such an incredible gifted, aware and humble soul and it was such an honour to sit in conversation with him. You can find more of his work at www.abrahamkunin.com Also I am happy to announce that my brand new Tiny Triumph Recordings studio in the heart of Wellingtons CBD is now open. It’s been such a long journey to find a new studio space to work from and it felt like such perfect synchronicity when this studio came available. It’s such an incredibly vibey space and I think is going to be such an amazing thing for the Wellington music scene. You can check out the space over on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tinytriumphrecordings and all booking enquires can be sent to studio@tinytriumphrecordings.com Also thanks to the amazing @rabbitislandcoffee from Mapua in Nelson. Their coffee is all hand roasted by a couple of amazing and inspiring human beings and im sure you’ll agree if you try it; thats it’s probably the best coffee in the country.

Greatest Hits: How seeing that free will is an illusion can bring inner peace with Joan Tollifson
Today I am bringing you a segment of the show called greatest hits where I take an extract of one of the Art and Being episodes that I absolutely love. There is so much incredible wisdom from our guests in these shows and sometimes some of their profound moments may get lost in the length of the conversations. So with greatest hits; im bringing back little bite sized clips taken from an episode that I think is really inspirational. Whether or not you have heard this clip already or hearing it for the first time; I think we can all gain a lot from being reminded of these insights. Today's greatest hits clip comes from our conversation with Joan Tollifson. In this clip; we talk about how searching for the self and looking for the one who is looking can lead you to an open space of awareness where everything is just happening including our thoughts, the choices we make, the desires and wants we hold and how accepting that we don't have the control we think we do can lead to a life of tranquility and peace and reduce hatred towards ourselves and others. The clip is taken from Ep 10: The Art of Being Nobody: How searching for the Self can lead to nothing and everything with Joan Tollifson
