Brendan "Margo" Margieson changed surfing forever with his progressive powerful style. He was the first superstar freesurfer. Maining he didn't have to go in comps to be sponsored. He just had to ripp and be Margo. And that he did... he was voted by his peers to be the best surfer in the world at one point.
I want to thank Margo from the bottom of my heart for really opening up in this most Soulful of Conversations. Some of the subjects we cover here we're not the easiest to talk about.
If you know nothing about surfing but have found yourself in a dark place you will get a lot out of this. Thanks again Margz!

I don’t believe in letting external realities dictate my inner reality so I worked hard during these dark days to keep mentally resilient and focus on what I had power to change. I resisted the temptation for things to be different to what they were and focused on what I could. What am I good at? How can I bring in some money to keep us afloat? What do people need? Well I know that I am good at music, I know I am good at adapting, I am good at communicating and I have some skills that people might want. So first up and within a matter of days I set up online guitar lessons, vocal coaching, online private gigs all on the Zoom platform and some money started to filter in. This was by no means my dream job or what I saw myself doing but I realised it wasn’t about my ego. It’s firstly about feeding my family and secondly embracing what is and thirdly if I am going to do something I am going to do it the best possible way I can, so I focused on delivering the goods 100% to whoever was good enough to employ my services. And that felt great!
It is such an uncertain time and uncertainty can cause people to be paralysed with fear causing procrastination. You might want to sit and watch the news to stay informed. I can tell you I have not watched the news in over a decade and I still manage to stay informed. The news builds fear and fear is one of the most destructive forces in your life. It becomes a habit and gives you every reason why you can’t do x y and z and if you believe you can’t do it you are absolutely right!! I prefer to strive for the things I want and leave it up for life itself to tell me what I can’t do. But it’s my job to strive not to decide what I can’t do before I have even tried.
It’s not just in live music but in any situation. As we confront the so called “New Norm” we should realise that change itself is the “New Norm”. If you can think outside of the box and take action you will be rewarded. Not just financially but if you can reach out to your wider community they may appreciate it more than you could ever guess. You will learn new things by challenging yourself and that is one of the greatest gifts you can get from any situation.
Something in the human spirit dies when we feel we are in a rut. Adversity is the challenge that when met with open arms becomes the catalyst for growth.

In Ash's first monologue for Soulful Conversation he talks about mindset tips and tricks that are useful for lockdown and of course any time. Placing too much emphasis on the many things that are out of our control can be dangerous. Turn off the news it promotes fear which suppresses the immune system by triggering the flight or fight response and renders us powerless through drawing our attention to things that, by definition we can't change. Ash is suggesting we take an opposite approach and focus strongly on the things we can change which happen to be the very subject matter of Soulful Conversations!
Mindset, wisdom and daily habits for improving the mind, the physical body and spiritual connection. This is a time to be ambitious and optimistic in areas that we can change and draw on taoist, buddhist, self help and personal growth writings to help us face the things we can't change.
The first episode of the Lockdown edition of Soulful Conversations.

The resurgence of cannabis as a miraculous healing medicine is a great cause for optimism in the battle against cancer and a system that many of us are losing faith in.
Take your health into your own hands peeps!!! Don’t have blind faith in natural therapies OR conventional medicine.
This is a time to be open minded. The cure might be closer than you think!
This is a very special addition. I shared a video on my socials the other day about our experience with Medical Cannabis and my father in-law. I received an overwhelming response with so many questions so we set up this podcast to answer some of those. This was also a great excuse to finally get my lovely wife Danni on the show!

How Danni’s Dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 Small Cell Lung cancer and given 3 months to live.How his first round of chemotherapy nearly killed him and why it was no longer an option.How the 90-day protocol Danni put her Dad on gave him a new lease on life. How the medical system works in relation to medical cannabis. How Danni and Ash got started with research alternative therapies. How Danni brought up the topic of medical cannabis with her father who was quite conservative.The cost of alternative treatments involving straight CBD Oil and THC.Information on how to find the correct dosage for you How CBD and THC work synergistically to fight cancer.The importance of transforming your diet.Daily practices - using a gratitude journal as a family. Exercise and Breathwork - chanting, acupuncture, neuro link, and an amazing local GP. How important HOPE is in surviving cancer.

Some of our favourite quotes from this episode.

"Growth is just a reinvention of cells, that keep dividing and spreading and setting up, so the next thing can come through"
