For years, Jessie Asya Kanzer felt like a failure, unable to “make it,” either as an actress or in the rat race. Her childhood as a Russian immigrant in post-Cold War America heightened her insecurity and threatened her identity, desperate as she was to fit into a culture that was alien at best and hostile at worst. 

.
This loss and eventual reclamation of her sense of self sent her on a more spiritual path during which she discovered the Tao Te Ching, which changed everything for her. 

.

The Tao taught her that there was power in stillness, and that all struggles come bearing gifts if you know how to recognize them.

.

We cover so much from: how to tap into and trust your intuition; how the Tao can cure you of perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies; why it’s important to continue to embrace stillness, even amidst a push to return to “normal” following the pandemic; and so much more... reminding us that there’s power in slowing down. 

.

Her book "Don’t Just Sit There, Do Nothing" offers practical, actionable insights on incorporating its wisdom into your everyday life

S5 E8: Former IBF World Cruiserweight Champion, Glenn McCrory - on his career; the highs and lows of boxing; the mindset of a boxer; mental health and coping with depression
.
Today's chat is extremely raw, emotional and open. Glenn McCrory’s boxing career was anything but smooth sailing.  He reflects on his life - the highs and lows of the golden era; how he celebrated after defeating Patrick "Killer" Lumumba by unanimous decision to win the IBF World Cruiserweight title; how he coped with the aftermath of the loss against Lennox Lewis... We cover the mindset of a boxer; training; weight; what it takes to be a champion; what really happens, mentally, before, during and after a match... and he is honest, brilliantly and so bravely honest about the depression that has followed him around for much of his life like a dark mist, even more so as a result of this awful pandemic, and a darkness that is ever so present right now, today, even as we speak. We delve into that and how he copes – how he puts one step in front of the other, even on the hardest of days. 

This is, as always, a hugely inspirational chat. Meet “Simply Irresistible” Glenn McCrory!

When I was approached by this guest's management company, I was excited. The last time I interviewed him he had just crossed the line in Macau on only 3 wheels after THAT crash... if you want to know what I mean, google Ferdinand and Macau. I knew it would be a great chat, but I didn’t realise it would be quite so inspirational in so, so many ways. From racing to religion, meditation to surfing, anxiety and positivity, letting go to being in the zone...plus we chat about his impressive plans to change our carbon footprint one race team at a time via his campaign Drive fast, Act faster. I won't ramble on, let's get straight to it.  

. 

Meet 23-year-old Austrian, heir to the House of Habsburg:

I remember the day of the 7/7 London bombings. Normally, I would have taken the tube across london to make my way to Liverpool street where I was working in events but we had put on an event ourselves the night before and had basically decided to take the day off to recover.

.
In a parallel universe, Martine caught the Circle line tube to work and sat just three feet away from suicide bomber Shehzad Tanweer. 

.
The worst injured, and consequently last rescued survivor, Martine was trapped for over an hour having lost 80% of her blood supply as well as both legs above the knees.  What followed was a painful year of rehabilitation including learning to walk again on prosthetics.

.
She considers herself a lucky woman with a whole new life of opportunities. Martine has since rebuilt her life, skydived, earned her pilot’s license, become a wife, become a mother, become captain of the British Paralympic Sitting volleyball team, charity ambassador, mentor to patients, inspirational and motivational speaker and author of ‘Unbroken’, where she recounts her inspirational journey - and for what, in 2018, she won Autobiography of the Year with.

.
Since competing for Great Britain at the London 2012 Paralympics, Martine has gone on to present high-profile sporting events on the BBC and Channel 4, including the Paralympics and Invictus Games, and was a roving reporter at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio. She won BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2012 and last year was awarded an MBE for her services to sport and work as a role model for amputee athletes.

.
Now, while playing sport, Martine wears her lucky number 7 with pride, transforming what happened into a positive and a clear and meaningful sign of her rehabilitation, and also in memory of those who lost their lives.

.
Please, take some time out, pause and listen to this truly incredible woman. Meet Martine Wright.

In this humbling and inspiring episode I chat to my dear pal John who woke up in hospital to discover he had experienced a tragic accident 6 weeks prior when riding his motorbike to work at Goodwood Festival of Speed, and was now paralysed from the T3 vertebra down - from the nipple line down. His total memory loss of the accident was somewhat of a blessing for him but tough, of course, on his loved ones around him. 
.
This is an emotional episode but one that is full of courage and hope. We cover Johns journey from wake up until now. The hurdles and successes along the way. The magnitude of impact such a life event has had on his life and his family and friends.  But where many would give up with irreversible injuries like this, John has fought with sheer, relentless determination to get his life back on the road. His mindset is undeterred and is hugely inspirational. What a man.
.
I must mention 'Back Up' who are a great charity inspiring people affected by spinal cord injury to get the most out of life www.backuptrust.org.uk

Alex Legouix chats to Italian psychologist and psychotherapist, Alessandro Carmelita about Mindful Interbeing Mirror Therapy

.

Alessandro has worked with some of the worlds most elite athletes and is working with a number of athletes who will be heading to Tokyo for the next Olympics. 

.
A few years ago, Alessandro started to develop a fascinating new technique called Mindful Interbeing Mirror Therapy. It really is extraordinary and clearly is - and will continue to help - not only elite athletes, but anyone who wishes to cope with, or recover from trauma, from any form of emotional pain, body dysmorphia, dealing with the chimp brain and so much more, It's not focusing on the negative but more about activating and enhancing the brains positive thoughts.The concept is that it is creating new neural connections, new instinctive reactions to underlying problems and modifying negative memories and so on..I strongly urge you to give this a go and currently Alessandro is kindly offering my podcast audience one free session which is amazing, so do email him on info@mirrortrainingmethod.com and let him know you came via me, Alex Legouix.

Over the past couple of weeks i have been pondering a lot on what it is we need to do, individually and as a collective, to deal with this situation more positively.
.
Over the coming episodes of Mindset Unfiltered podcast, i will be chatting to a variety of experts on this topic. In this episode I speak to James Elliott - Military Resilience Coach, Airborne Solider & 2 x Guinness World Record holder
.
This is a great episode. We spoke about so much! James is a hugely fascinating and incredibly knowledgeable human and has such a great, and positive message he is putting out in this time of uncertainty. We discuss mental resilience - what it is and how to build it; how to self motivate and why it is, scientifically, that we struggle with it sometimes. We discuss our brains response to the current situation with coronavirus and lockdown and James helps us with how to respond and evolve with this environment of pressure in the best way and not fight against and how to ensure a more successful outcome for us, our mental health and our future.
. 
Also, we discuss Tiger King and Joe Exotic... because, why not?

This episode is brought to you by MyZone. Myzone is an innovative wearable heart rate system that uses wireless and cloud technology to accurately and conveniently monitor physical activity. I wear mine each day when I exercise and love the amount of information it feeds back to me afterwards including how many calories I burned, what intensity I worked at, my heart rate and so on. It also encourages effort and personal growth as it gives you Myzone Effort Points (MEPs), that you can monitor and build over the weeks - so it really focuses on rewarding effort rather than fitness.

Michael Maisey has turned his life around. Brutally and honestly written about in his outstanding book 'Young Offender', Michael went through things so tough and tragic it is truly incredible he is here to tell the tale. Repeatedly a victim of sexual, physical and mental abuse from almost all of the closest grown ups around him he fell prey to the claws of drug and alcohol abuse and fell deeply in to a life of crime which resulted in many years in and out of Feltham Young Offender Institute.

.
He owns a life story full of some of the darkest, toughest and saddest experiences you'd never want even your worst enemy to have to endure.  Yet here he is now out the other side - happily married with two kiddies, sober, sharing his amazing story in order to help himself, others and make a change to the system that repeatedly failed him.

.
He is truly one of the most inspirational people I have ever encountered. He has not only gotten out of that dark world, but he is even able to forgive it and the people involved. He is proof that we can change. Life can change if you want it to.

.

This is a powerful, vulnerable and informative chat. Michael doesnt shy away from my probing questions but answers with honesty, emotion and strength that I found truly awe inspiring.  It was a privilege to spend time with him and this is a chat i can't wait to share with you
.

Under one of his instagram posts he writes: "For many years I wore a mask. The tough guy, the know it all, the charmer, the bully, the coward, the victim, the addict, the joker. I didn’t want to let the world see the real me, as I feared rejection, when I was really rejecting myself and how I truly felt when I looked in the mirror. I have found that we can only truly connect to others and to ourselves when we are vulnerable.
Vulnerability opens the doors to intimacy, and intimacy is what all long lasting relationships are built on. I choose to welcome all of myself today, the good, the bad and the shadows" .
On his book, Tony Parsons writes: "Young Offender is a memoir to shine a light in the darkest of nights, a harrowing, heart breaking autobiography that feels like it was written in tears and blood. Michael Maisey crawled from the wreckage of what feels like every bad break in the world – domestic violence, sexual abuse, drugs, alcohol, incarceration and cruelty that staggers the mind - emerging with a story of redemption, hope and love."
.
Its a tough read but one I highly recommend.

Recently I was interviewed about my life and my journey on another podcast called Nathan K Ginger Beard podcast (https://open.spotify.com/show/2G5BjzWnjLqNolIocXMXRe)  - one I would highly recommend (NB my episode is out soon about mental health so please do check that one out)- and throughout this process I was introduced to a lovely chap called Glen john jones.
.
Glen is the author of highly successful book "Think and Grow Vegan" (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Grow-Vegan-gradually-confidence/dp/1916118801) - a wonderfully witty, funny, personable book about the what, why and hows of gradually moving to a plant based diet. He reveals his journey from meat-eater to vegan through five easy stages and his honest account acts as a brilliant guide for you if you decide to make the transition from or to any of these stages. Having been toying with the idea of giving up meat for the past few months, I was extremely fascinated to chat to Glen about this journey.
.
We discussed his reason behind his shift to the plant based diet. I was able to pick his brains about the pros and cons, his mindset shift, and the impact a diet like this can have on our mind and body.  It was also extremely interesting to find out about the journey of writing and releasing a book, and his challenges that came with that... plus, both being personal trainers, we chatted about fitness, Glens crazy 2021 Ironman Goals and ... avocados.
.
