TODAY's GUEST IS Gabriella Lester!

Today’s guest is Gabriella Lester! Gabriella is a 20 year old internationally award winning magician.Drawing inspiration from her passions in life, she has built a dedicated fan-base, with her own brand of mind-blowing tricks, startling stage presence and a healthy dose of sarcasm. At 14, she was the youngest performer to ever do Houdini's daring suspended straitjacket escape, where she escapes a strait jacket whilst been suspended in the air by her feet. She has performed on some of the biggest stages in Vegas, while being a frequent headliner at the World Famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, California.Her highlight reel is mind-blowing for a performer at such a young age - Most recently, she appeared on Penn and Teller's hit show 'Fool Us', but she has also been featured in the New York Times, and performed over 500 shows in 2023 whilst solo touring in Europe and North America.In this interview, we cover her journey from awe-struck audience member to magic-performing rock-star, how she dealt with the woes of COVID and heart-break to become a stronger person, performing to legends like Penn and Teller, evolving your performance as you grow as a person, how you can chase your dreams at any age and so much more!#GabriellaLester#pennandteller #pennandtellerfoolus #magic #performer #chaseyourdreams #followyourownpath #COVID #podcast #passions #performance #divaofdeception If you are liking the show, please remember to subscribe on your podcast platform and follow on social media.

KEY POINTS, Links & Actions

Here are some key points that I would advise you to concentrate on:We all have passions in life, and where could you be if you followed what excites you in life rather than the path others expect or pick for you? You can't do it all, you will need support and mentors to help out. There are role models, coaches, mentors and so much more out there. Google local clubs, Meetup groups and the likes to connect with like minded people, and find coaches, mentors, accountability partners etc that will help you on your journey towards your goals! People are attracted to enthusiasm and people that give themselves to the art and activity. People are drawn to Gabriella's drive and passion for magic, and can see her potential, and want to help her find it. Those are the people you want in your life. You are the average of the five people you hang around with most in life, choose wisely! Performance will bring feedback, critics and good alike. You need to understand that you will not always win over others, you will not always perform to your best or be the best, stop putting so much pressure on yourself. Listen to the comments, take the feedback and see if it's valid, listen to the negativity but don't take it to heart - use what you hear to improve your performance and keep improving! Gabriella went through some seriously hard times during COVID, professionally and personally. The time would crumble most people, but Gabriella used the purpose and lure of her passions, to keep her moving forward, to drag her on, to help deal with the grief. Gabriella let her performer side go on auto-pilot and let her passion draw her onwards out of the shit and pain holding her back at the time. https://youtu.be/0mpmctv_LYo?si=Gn9D7kXK0h6AMc1IGabriella's parents encouraged her to follow her passion, try new things and be herself and follow what she wants in life.
