Chats with Steve Smith

The Dying for a Life podcast is a podcast with interviews, stories, poetry and musings. We talk about endings, beginnings, deaths and rebirths and all the things in between. In this episode I share a conversation with Steve Smith. Steve Smith is an Olympian and an Olympic medal winner. Coming from a running family I was hooked on all things Athletics from a young age and competed at a high level – but NOT Olympic level- the highest of high! I watched Steve achieving his medal in Atlanta – which was a massive feat as I don’t think a British man had won a high jump medal since 1908! It was pretty huge and when I first met him my mum couldn’t believe I was meeting with an Olympic Medal winner! Steve is now owner, founder and Director of the Raise the bar group. In this episode, which was recorded through the pandemic in 2020 we talk about endings although you will see that Steve mainly talked about beginnings. I have worked alongside Raise the Bar for years now and you will get benefit from their Leadership courses and perhaps some of their webinars.

Om Podcasten

This podcast by Kirsty Mac is a one woman show with interviews - she could not decide on the format! In researching of her book she started an unplanned journey into researching death (deeply joyful!) and, well, living. To have a life, a beautiful heart centred whole hearted life, part of us has to die. You have to let go of the ego and the notion of the self in order to be. Madness. And so these conversations are an expansion of the research and conversations about really living. Its light- well thats the plan - whilst doing some deep dives into what it means to live a life. Conversations will be about death of reality, the ego business, relationships, the dream and maybe even death of meaning.Given that this was recorded, to begin with, in 2020, it brings about some interesting conversations. Thankyou for listening in.
