I recently had the pleasure of reconnecting with a past dojo mate and joining his Ki to the City podcast for a conversation exploring two of my greatest passions: Aikido and Magic.

What do martial arts and sleight-of-hand have in common? More than you'd think…

How “being a Magician” transcends technique and becomes a way of being

• Why true mastery involves invisible mechanics that create real transformation

• Shifting from responding to conflict as an “attack” and interpreting it as “pressure” instead

• What it means to move with grace, effortlessness — and joy

• And how both Aikido and Magic point toward unseen forces that shape our lives

If you're into Aikido, Magic, mindset shifts — give it a listen. I hope you find something of value.

Listen to the Ki to the City podcast

Thrilled to join my colleague, Alfred Poor on this latest episode of The Speaker Springboard Podcast.

We talked about the #business of doing magic, and what #managers and #leaders can learn from it.

Yeah, we jammed a lot into 10-minutes but Alfred it really good at what he does and apparently I have a lot to say on the subject.

And that’s no lie.
