Thank you for listening to the podcast. I had the idea for the podcast a while ago to talk to people who I have met in my travels, about their inspiring and amazing lives. I remember always going to see Henry Rollins do his spoken word tours and being inspired about his stories and life motto. Travel the world, be creative- play music, draw or paint. Have an opinion but respect others, keep fit and healthy. Born in Newcastle Australia now living in Shanghai China.

Its an honour to be able to do this podcast. Growing up a huge WWE fan with the likes of Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Brett Hart, The Undertaker. Recently just went to Summerslam in Detroit.
Recorded live at Rucker Park on the 30th of September, this podcast is a little different. I had access to two of the top Athlete's in MKW Wrestling - Zombie Dragon and current MKW Heavyweight Champion M.A. Being able to a podcast before and after the match, gives a great inside on how a Wrestling match is put together and the wrestling business.. Zombie Dragon from the USA and M.A from China.

Currently on a promotional tour in China, I was lucky enough to sit down with the very popular Serbian Cellist Jela Cello. Seeing her perform in Shanghai that night was an amazing experience. Right from a young age, Jela was the top students in Belgrade and won numerous awards, being titled the best student of her generation. She was awarded the Golden Shield and Golden Charter awards for her contributions to Cultural and Educational Community for Serbia.
Her album Clash was released in 2012 and featured a composition of Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze" and as of today has had 1.5 million downloads on Youtube (which you can hear at the start of the podcast).. She formed a 60 piece Orchestra called "Jela Cello Power Symphony Orchestra". She has collaborated with front man of Journey Arnel Pineda recording the Christmas Dreams album. On her last US tour she played at the Red Carpet Oscar Award Party in Hollywood, hosted by Film Director James Cameron. @jelacello
