Fearlessly Failing with Lola Berry

Meet my improv teacher Sean Will. He’s a very cool soul, he’s open, honest and hard working. Having worked in commercials, TV, film and he’s even acted in a Taylor Swift video. In this chat we not only talk about Sean’s success but we deep dive into improv and uncover some of the classic improv rules that can most defiantly be applied to life, there’s not need to be into comedy to get something from this chat. Improv rules we breakdown in this chat are: 1. Listen 2. Yes, and 3. Support and trust 4. Always assume that you know. In improv the only wrong move is no move.p.s if you’re in LA Sean is part of an improv group called “Lemon Pepper Wet” keep an eye out for them when you’re in town! More about Sean here… Website: https://www.iamseanwill.com/Insta: https://www.instagram.com/imseanwill/Big love, Lola Berry, your Fearlessly Failing host! Follow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberrywww.lolaberry.comwww.lolacoffee.co

Welcome to the "LA Life" episode; each Friday I’m going to do a little check-in, or a bit of a diary entry if you will. I’ll let you know what we’ve been up to in LA. I’ll also answer any questions you may have so I invite you to DM me on insta if you’d like me to cover a specific topic on the Friday check-in. Health, wellness, yoges, LA things.. Anything you'd like really. These episodes will be shorter, more like 20 mins, so they should be a nice easy listen. Hope you enjoy them, as always the goal is to inspire you to go after whatever is true for you. That dream that nobody knows about, but you. The Monday episode will continue as usual, this is just an add-on. Think of it as diary entry check-in kind of vibe. Big love from LA,Lola Follow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberrywww.lolaberry.comwww.lolacoffee.co

Meet Oliver Bora of Olivers Hen's. What a legend, I first met Oliver at the Mullumbimby farmers markets. After becoming a huge fan of his ethical and sustainable eggs i wanted to know his story and after a bit of googling i quickly learnt that he started his business in year 11 at 17 years old via crowdfunding. He started with 450 hens, a caravan and space at his school. Cut to today; he has over 2000 happy hens, 3 caravans and is based at The Farm in Byron Bay. Oliver is a very cool human, in this chat he breaks down the difference between free range, paister raised, and organic eggs, so next time you're out shopping you'll be able to support sustainable and ethical farming, after all we get to vote with our dollar. Oliver is smart, talented, driven, kind and passionate about sustainable and ethical farming. It makes me really excited that this is our future. Learn more about Oliver's Hens here: https://thefarm.com.au/olivers-hensFollow him on insta here: https://www.instagram.com/olivershens/Big love, Lola Berry, your Fearlessly Failing host! Follow Lola Berry on Instagram: @yummololaberrywww.lolaberry.comwww.lolacoffee.co

Manoj is a Buddhist meditation and mindfulness teacher. I think this episode will inspire you to really embrace the things that make us feel more mindful and connected. Manoj openly shares about his journey to date. I ask him to talk about Holotropic breathwork; what it is and what it does. As 2 days before this chat I'd been to one of his breathing classes and I had no idea what to expect but was go smacked by all the different experiences; people were crying, screaming and laughing, it seemed like a huge release. I get Manoj to share some of his Buddist philosophies with us; the tail of the 2 arrows is really interesting and something we can most differently apply in our real life. Here’s a little more about Manoj:-       He co-owns Open; a meditation, movement and mindfulness space here in Venice, LA but it’s also a wonderful online place to access mindfulness; they’ve set me up with a code to give you 30 days trial for free that you can do from the comfort of your own home from anywhere in the world. https://go.o-p-e-n.com/LOLA30 -       Here’s a link to Manoj’s first book: Still together https://www.amazon.com/Still-Together-Connection-through-meditation/dp/1743796714  -       And here’s his insta: https://www.instagram.com/manojdias_/-       You’ll hear us talk about our mutual mate Joe Wicks AKA The Body Coach who taught me the term “wobble day.” He’s also been on the pod too, you can listen to that episode here: https://shows.acast.com/fearlessly-failing/episodes/97.fearlesslyfailing-joewicksakathebodycoach-       Manoj also mentioned the book The Surrender Experiment by Michael A.
