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.
