    Linus O'Brien: Time Warps, Techno, and the Strange Journey of Rocky Horror

    Some people inherit a family business. Linus O'Brien inherited a time warp. His father, Richard O'Brien, created The Rocky Horror Picture Show. But before Linus ever stepped into that legacy, he went off and made his own noise. He was DJing school discos at 14. He borrowed £500 to press records with only one side (the second side cost extra, and so did a sleeve), and the very next night the radio played it while his friends snored on his bedroom floor. Then came techno, a record shop in Camden, Vancouver, Tokyo and Los Angeles: a résumé that reads less like a career and more like a mixtape. Then he pointed a camera at the strangest thing he knew. Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror is a love letter to his dad and to the misfits, dreamers and fishnet faithful who turned a midnight movie into a home. It made me cry. Bring tissues. Bring a garter. We talk about growing up next to a phenomenon, interviewing his dad and Tim Curry, why a creative life refuses to travel in a straight line, and the advice he'd give his younger self, which is unprintable here and perfect anyway. Linus is funny, generous, brilliant, and wonderfully strange. Don't dream it, be it.

Trust us, you'll want a front-row seat. ▶▶▶ Please rate, comment, and share this episode to share the magic, and visit https://www.magicinclined.com All music provided by www.lukesweeney.com Luke's Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0HUCUssIZ14hidQEb4IpwZ

    The Akasha Is Already Within You! A Special Episode

    I took a long break. I wrote a book. Those two facts are related. Tapping into the Akasha is out today with Wiser Books, and this surprise episode is my way of throwing it a party. The last year has been a lot of creative shapeshifting: writing, going back to acting, making music, growing The Cocktail Camp, and walking into a new chapter of life with my shoes untied. I share the story underneath the book. Growing up in the only Hindu temple in Iran during the revolution. Traveling through India with my family. Arriving in the United States as a refugee. And the spiritual practices that held me together through unimaginable loss, while I rebuilt myself one brick at a time. This book is not another system to fix you. You were never broken. It's an invitation to peel back the layers of identity we pile on over a lifetime and find what was there all along. The Akasha isn't somewhere out there. It's the living memory of existence, and we are already inside it. In this episode: • The creative road that led me back to writing • Growing up in the only Hindu temple in Iran • The practices that carried me through grief and loss • Why the Akasha is not something to chase, but something to remember • A reading from the introduction of the book ✨ Buy the Book If this podcast has ever inspired you, held you, or made you feel a little less alone, the best way to support the show is to pick up a copy. 📖 Get your copy here: https://www.magicinclined.com/tappingintotheakasha Connect with me: Newsletter: https://magicinclined.myflodesk.com/wkdnr2y6oe Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/magicinclined Website: www.magicinclined.com ▶▶▶ Please rate, comment, and share this episode to share the magic.

    The End of a Beginning

    Not goodbye. A sacred pause. In this last episode (for now), I look back at the soul of Magic Inclined: how it began after the loss of my daughter, how it became a place for sharing and transformation and connection, and how it grew into something so much bigger than I ever imagined. I name and thank every guest who helped write this story with me, and I share what comes next: living more intentionally, and honoring the magic that is already here. Whether you listened to one episode or every single one, thank you for being part of this. Maybe the magic continues. Maybe this is just the beginning. ✨ I love you all.

    Dangerously Impressionable: The Irresistible Groove of Anna Hillburg

    Some people play music. Anna Hillburg is music, wearing sparkles. She's a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and vocal coach who has played with Shannon Shaw, made genre-bending solo records, and just released Dangerously Impressionable, a disco-tinged album that should come with a warning label for your hips. We travel from her days as a trumpet kid in Long Beach to her current era as a full-on synth goddess in Nevada City. We talk about creativity, collaboration, dance, doubt, beauty, and growing into your most playful, embodied self. She also explains why she breathes life into a green bubble of visualized energy before a lesson, and somehow it makes perfect sense. A love letter to the creative process, and to one of the most inspiring artists I know.

    On Transformation, Trust, and the Beauty of Being: A Conversation with Nkechi Deanna Njaka

    Nkechi Deanna Njaka is back, and she is still the only person I know who can explain the nervous system and make it sound like poetry. A multidisciplinary artist and neuroscientist, Nkechi talks about what transformation actually looks like when we let ourselves evolve, especially when it's uncomfortable. We wander through mindfulness, creativity, intergenerational trauma and racial dynamics in wellness spaces, plus her own path through anxiety, academia and art. She opens up about her podcast Dating White, the shift from healing to transformation, and why creativity is still one of our most powerful tools for survival and connection. Her presence is a balm and a beacon. You'll see.

    A New Chapter: Passing the Torch at Magic Inclined Community

    Five years ago I planted a little garden called the Magic Inclined Community. Today I'm handing the watering can to three luminous humans: Birdie, Hawa and Kail. This handoff has been six months in the making, and in this episode you get to meet them. Birdie is a business powerhouse and intuitive healer offering Akashic Records readings, Reiki, and practical guidance for turning spiritual gifts into thriving work. Hawa blends ancestral wisdom with modern insight, offering transpersonal hypnotherapy, marketing magic and deep energetic healing. Kail is a master educator and imagination guide with more than 20 years in theater, helping people access multidimensional states and creative expansion through his new space, The Magic IF. All my courses and workshops will stay inside the forum. The community keeps the Magic Inclined name for now, and may grow into something that reflects their vision. That's not an ending. That's what gardens do.

    Mona Loring: The Power of Conscious PR & Purpose-Driven Success

    Mona Loring stumbled into public relations by accident and then built a powerhouse on purpose. She's the founder of Conscious Living PR and Conscious Hollywood, and she's rewriting what PR can be: mindful, honest, and driven by purpose instead of polish. She is living proof that you can hustle hard and still sound like yourself. We talk about building a brand people can't resist, the real power of PR beyond a press hit, and how to balance strategy with intuition. Mona brings her signature mix of wisdom and humor, with stories from Hollywood, from supporting thought leaders, and from leading with heart in an industry that usually leads with image. If you're an entrepreneur, artist or visionary ready to step into your power, take notes. Mona is generous with the good stuff.

    Darcy Barber: The Creative Powerhouse Behind Unforgettable Experiences

    Gucci, Tom Ford and Sephora walk into a room. Darcy Barber is already there, making it more beautiful. As Executive Creative Director of FOAM Creative, she builds the kind of experiences people talk about for years. She once turned a retailer's discarded luxury fabric into a sold-out clothing line, then sold it back to them. Iconic is the only word. We talk about trading corporate life for creative freedom, her DIY Craft Nights in NYC, and why everyone is creative (yes, you). Darcy makes a very convincing case for getting over the fear of failure and just starting. Funny, generous and effortlessly cool. Consider this your sign to pick up the glue gun.
