Together, they explore the art of staying relaxed, trusting your instincts, and creating opportunities being in flow.Alex’s path to artistic mastery has taken him from the prestigious halls of The Florence Academy of Art and The Repin Academy of Art to painting portraits for some of the world’s most iconic figures, including H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh, and HH Pope Benedict XVI. But his story goes far beyond his accolades—it's one of passion, adventure, and transformation.In this episode, Alex shares the pivotal moments of his life: the lessons he’s learned through years of discipline, how he approaches his work with a unique blend of intuition and technique, and the unforgettable stories that have shaped his perspective. One story being about a life-or-death moment with the Taliban that redefined his understanding of humanity.This conversation is a treasure trove of wisdom and varied experience for anyone looking to create a purposeful and creative path in life. Whether you’re an artist or a seeker of mastery, Alex’s journey will show you how to harness your own flow, trust your inner compass, and seize the unexpected opportunities that life presents.Alex might not be what we think of when we think of an artist, but he has lived a life with art at the centre of everything he does.

Central to our martial art of Wing Tsun is the Confucianist principle of respecting and learning from our elders. To honour this tradition and at the turning of the New Year, our guest in this episode is Marion Vincent, John’s mother.Readers of the book Winning Not Fighting will know how her embodiment of principles like Positivity and Freedom and Responsibility have influenced John’s approach to life and business.In an interview that ranges from Marion’s childhood to her retirement from teaching at the age of 85, we discover how those principles came to be instilled in her; how they shaped her experience of living through the Blitz; and how, despite a series of five miscarriages and still-births, she felt able to give John the freedom he needed to take risks. There is, we believe, much to learn from and be inspired by. Marion is in high demand for her time and wisdom. We hope that you enjoy hearing her stories from, and reflections upon, a life still being lived to the full. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
