Chris Abay Podcast

From aspiring actor & ruthless salesman to giving mediator & loving family man, this week I interview local entrepreneur Wyndham James to find out how & where he found his true purpose in life.

Having lived up to his parents' expectations educationally & financially Wyndham faced a dilemma - to follow societal norms or follow his inner voice. Find out how his life turned a corner and what happened...

This week I interview the very popular owner of a dream coffee shop called FILTR situated right here on our local doorstep in Sanderstead. The owners Veena & Thomas are the kindest most friendly combination characters and their lead barista even teaches Yoga in our studio.  In this Podcast  Veena shares her life's journey from India to Sanderstead telling how she let go of the big corporate pay cheque to create something she truly believes in. This is her destiny!

Much loved teacher from our own Studio, Junior Valentine talks about how he moved from passion to passion, acting to teaching, whilst navigating South London culture as a Black Gay Man. If you loved his classes you'll love his voice, his energy and... his story.

This week I interview Adam Whiting. Accomplished musician - come New York insurance specialist & 9.11 PTSD sufferer - come international Yoga trainer.  This is the 1st time I've been unable to find anything to edit for the final Podcast cut. The whole interview is so completely compelling even my wife wanted to listen to all of it from start to finish. Adam has a presence that captivates. I'm stoked to offer you this soul searching episode completely FOC. Enjoy! And, if you love it as much as we do... maybe help us with a Spotify / Apple / Google podcast rating & comment ;-) 

This week I interview Mark England, TedX speaker and author of best selling online self help language upgrade course "Procabulary".

A truly lovable guy, who started out as an ordinary, small town, PE teacher but managed to follow his dreams across the world only to have them smashed by personal tragedy in a faraway land. Instead of allowing it to break his spirit, new life emerged from his tragedy which led him to TedX notoriety and the positive influence of thousands of teachers and business owners across the UK & US.

Listening to Mark now, it's amazing to consider just how chilled he sounds with all that he has been through. He's now calm, deliberate and charismatic - the kind of man who holds the attention of everybody in any bar. I think you'll really enjoy this one!

Interview with Jamie Clarke, his heart is bigger than his body and his love of humour makes his story so easy to listen to. 

He followed a parent pleasing career path from South London to San Francisco as a high flying management consultant. Then, after the traumatic death of his mother, he gave up everything to follow his deeper passion as a Yoga Teacher, healer and teacher of teachers.

Jamie's light hearted words weave a fascinating tapestry of truly inspirational characters and exotic places. His words are so gentle and kind that it becomes almost hard to grasp just how much he has changed the lives of so many.

Interview with TedX Speaker Lucas Rockwood, who went from borderline alcoholic corporate zombie to inspirational Yoga entrepreneur & worldclass champion of positive human change. His fascinating, real-life story shows how with the right motivation you can TAKE YOUR PASSION AND MAKE IT HAPPEN and then pivot again when international disaster strikes.
