    You Don't Lose By Walking Away - Tyrone Davis - Writer - Director & Co-Founder of Wright Brothers Entertainment #310

    Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Tyrone of Wright Brothers Entertainment on Faith, Storytelling, and Building Legacy Through Theatre Host Savia Rocks welcomes writer-director and Wright Brothers Entertainment co-founder Tyrone to season seven of the Us People Podcast to discuss legacy, identity, trauma, and creativity. Tyrone shares growing up in South London, developing a vivid imagination, and how his Christian faith grounds him through creative highs and lows while he aims to spread love through storytelling.  He explains how a probation-required course at 16 led him into performing arts at Merton College, later reconnecting with theatre through a youth drama group. Tyrone describes his writing approach as creating shows he would want to watch, his casting process based on character profiles and auditions, and how judgment and peer pressure shaped his early choices.  He reflects on success as lasting impact beyond money, happiness as presence rather than goals, language’s power, advice about “power in the pen,” and promotes Wright Brothers’ “Bridesmaid, Never the Bride” (14–16 May at Theatre Peckham). 00:00 Legacy Mindset Intro 01:10 Meet Tyrone  02:52 Growing Up South London 04:11 Faith Identity Mirror 08:39 Finding Theater Path 09:25 From Trouble To Performing Arts 14:13 Writing Shows Youd Watch 17:54 Casting The Right Talent 20:32 Life Without Judgment 23:37 Soundtrack Of His Life 25:35 Music Influences 26:35 Integrity And Keeping Promises 29:04 Gifts And Purpose Quote 30:48 Desert Island Dream Guests 32:24 Defining Success And Legacy 35:49 Rethinking Happiness 38:10 Power Of Language 40:05 Best Advice For Creatives 42:14 Peace As A Journey 43:25 Where To Find Tyrone 45:05 Podcast Outro And Final Track www.wrightbrosents.com @onetakety_ - insta @onetakety - tiktok Thank you so much Tyrone for showing us that not matter the path that we began on it does not determine our future. - Savia Rocks  Life is about the choices that we choose to make for ourselves - Savia Rocks  Support the show

    Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? DeAngelo on Spirituality, People-Pleasing, and Becoming a Triple-Threat Performer Host Savia Rocks opens season seven of the Us People Podcast with reflections on legacy, peeling away cultural conditioning and trauma, and using hardship to create something beautiful, then interviews South African performer DeAngelo, a theater actor, singer, and dancer.  DeAngelo shares being raised in Northwest Mafikeng and later in Gauteng, guided by a spiritual great-grandmother and church life in the Zion Christian Church, and describes separating religion from spirituality after witnessing contradictions in practiced Christianity. He defines himself as ambitious, loving, and anxious, discusses therapy, childhood-rooted people-pleasing and lack of boundaries, and learning that professionalism doesn’t require being liked.  He explains how his father pushed him toward passion, how he discovered singing through university productions and choirs with vocal training, and how judgment made him diminish himself; his life song is Sia’s “Bird Set Free.” He names best advice as choosing passion, living without regret, and being a vessel for others’ stories, recalls finding peace through a hymn, mentions losing a friend on New Year’s Eve, and shares where to find him: performing in the Zulu musical “Inala” at the House of St. Sisters, plus social handles @DeAngelo_RSA. 00:00 Legacy And Trauma 01:10 Meet DeAngelo 02:55 Growing Up In Church 05:17 Spirituality Over Religion 06:57 Family Lessons And Positivity 10:14 Mirror Identity And Purpose 13:02 People Pleasing And Boundaries 19:54 Owning Your Ambition 23:51 Why Performing Matters 26:17 Finding His Voice 30:48 Learning Leads Fast 31:56 Audition And Training 33:17 Triple Threat Identity 37:41 Life Without Judgment 41:25 Soundtrack Of Freedom 43:06 Desert Island Choices 48:36 Advice And Purpose 52:00 Finding Peace And Gratitude 57:27 Where To Find DeAngelo 59:08 Final Thanks And Outro 01:01:26 Closing Song Lyrics Instagram: @deangelo_rsa Tiktok: @deangelo_rsa Twitter: @deangelo_rsa Thank you so much DeAngelo for questioning everything you see and know about life - Savia Rocks Support the show

    Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Alexis on ADHD, Leadership vs Management, and Advising Founders to Grow and Exit Season seven of the Us People Podcast features host Savia Rocks interviewing Alexis, a special advisor who helps founders grow and sell companies. Alexis shares being raised in Geneva with undiagnosed ADHD, starting a first business at 15, studying communication and film in Paris, working on movies, and moving to Africa before building and later selling a software company in 2019, then retiring for three years.  He explains he is a leader rather than a manager, and says his advisory work began after seeing entrepreneurs repeat his costly lesson / mistakes, which he estimates cost him five years and $50 million; he wrote a book to share methodology for growth and exit and built a fractional team of experienced leaders. Key themes include action-based relationships and reputation over networking, founder-stage focus on client satisfaction, the need for process after ~$10M revenue, risk and failing fast, hiring people smarter than you, kindness, being yourself, and finding Alexis via LinkedIn. 00:00 Meet Savia Rocks 00:22 Legacy and Trauma 01:10 Season Seven Intro 02:08 Alexis Background 04:52 Identity in the Mirror 07:29 Why Become an Advisor 12:08 Relationships and Reputation 15:16 Leadership and Culture 17:42 Business Stages Explained 21:36 Risk Versus Clients 23:08 Fail Fast Mindset 25:25 Hire Smarter People 27:45 Advice And Identity 30:06 Defining Success Goals 32:22 Helping As Success 34:26 Never Fully At Peace 36:44 Kindness And Truth 38:57 Find Alexis Online 41:22 Closing And Outro Linkedin: uk.linkedin.com/in/alexis-sikorsky-consulting Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alexis.sikorsky Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexissikorsky/ Website: https://www.asikorsky.com/ Thank you so much Alexis for showing us that life is not giving up but about giving in to to the service of what we love - Savia Rocks Giving in allows you to be free with your heart and honest with you emotions of who and what you love - Savia Rocks Support the show

    Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Engineering Belonging: Camp Leadership, Legacy, and the Power of Words with Matt Kaufman Host Savia Rocks welcomes Matt, a camp director and author, to season seven of the Us People Podcast to discuss purpose, judgment, legacy, and building community. Matt shares growing up in diverse Rockland County near Manhattan with teacher parents who emphasized lifelong learning and summer camp as education. He reflects on insecurities, self-forgiveness, and how camp challenged him socially despite an engineering background.  Matt explains that directing a day camp is like running a small city in summer and a year-round business the rest of the year, involving logistics, staffing, sales, and problem-solving. He describes a typical summer day, misconceptions about the job, influential English teachers, mentors who hired him despite being introverted, and advice about expanding impact through leadership. He defines success as leaving things better, describes peace after his daughter’s birth, would eliminate social media algorithms, and highlights belonging as camp’s key lesson.  He shares his 9/11 near-miss, recommends intentional communities, defines legacy through how staff treat children, and promotes his books The Summer Camp MBA and The Campfire Effect plus his website and LinkedIn. 00:00 Legacy and Healing 01:10 Season Seven Welcome 02:25 Growing Up and Learning 04:08 Phones vs Reading 04:55 Mirror and Self Forgiveness 07:12 What Camp Directors Do 10:09 Choosing Purpose Over Pay 12:01 Alone With Thoughts 14:04 A Day at Camp 18:40 Misconceptions and Off Season 22:38 Words Have Power 23:17 Regret and Words 23:35 Teachers and Literature 24:39 Getting a Chance 25:55 Leadership Advice 27:32 Living Beyond Judgment 29:14 Desert Island Picks 31:03 Defining Success and Peace 32:29 Power and Social Media 33:22 Fate and 9 11 35:46 Belonging and Legacy 38:26 Books and Where to Find Matt 40:09 Closing Thanks and Outro Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewjkaufman/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlovescamp Website: https://www.ilove.camp/ Thank you so much Matt, for showing us that simplicity of togetherness really does count.  In life we forget to ask the question that really count - Savia Rocks Support the show

She interviews  Nuttha Goutier co-founder and CEO of Sabai Thai Spa, who shares growing up in a small village in Thailand with no running water or electricity where community support, joy in hard work, and living in the moment shaped her values.  Nuttha describes immigrating to Canada over 25 years ago, overcoming setbacks, doubt, depression, and personal losses by acknowledging the past, letting go, and focusing on present choices, defining herself by resilience. She explains her purpose for building spas as creating a welcoming, belonging “home” experience, promoting self-care as a routine, supporting local communities, and planting a tree for every massage, with success defined by people’s happiness and community impact.  She outlines her daily routine (early wake-up, meditation, exercise, preparing four kids for school, and choosing gratitude), discusses wellness as preventive care for mind, body, and spirit, and argues that caring for yourself leads to kindness toward others.  Nuttha Goutier speaks about avoiding judgment through respect and acceptance, concerns about technology’s impact on younger generations, and suggests more nature, meditation, and yoga in schools.  00:00 Welcome to Yes People Podcast 01:24 Meet  Nuttha Goutier 02:23 Growing Up in Thailand 03:22 Finding Joy in Hard Work 05:14 Life as a Journey 05:44 Building Through Belief 06:31 Self Care and Balance 07:15 Looking in the Mirror 08:23 Overcoming Life's Challenges 10:53 The Power of Resilience 11:26 Dealing with Trauma 12:37 Letting Go of the Past 13:53 Finding Your Purpose 15:15 Creating Meaningful Impact 17:12 Why Start a Spa Business 17:37 Everyone Has a Gift 18:14 Defining Success 19:36 The Sabai Spa Experience 21:12 A Day in the Life 22:43 Morning Routine and Mindset 23:18 Choosing Your Emotions 24:32 Embracing Imperfection 25:46 Understanding Wellness and Wellbeing 26:45 Wellbeing and Self Care 27:23 Preventative Health Philosophy 28:16 Body as Vehicle 30:05 Judgment and Respect 32:05 Technology and Modern Generation 34:55 Life Lessons and Quotes 36:00 Carrying with Your Heart 37:40 Three Ps of Success 38:32 Best Advice from Dad 39:58 Choices Equal Results 41:31 Living Each Day Fully 43:03 Forest Meditation Practice 44:20 Meditation Journey and Growth 45:36 Mental Health and Awareness 46:48 Connect and Find Out More 47:57 Final Words and Gratitude Website: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nutthagoutier/ Website: https://www.instagram.com/nutthagoutier/ Website: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573378331497&ref=pro_upsell_xav_ig_profile_page_web# Website: https://sabaithai.com/ Thank you so much Nuttha Goutier for reminding us that the beauty of kindly has always lied within us - Savia Rocks Support the show

    Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Bridging Two Worlds: Dr. Amir Marvasti on Purpose, Humanizing Eye Care, and Legacy Host Savia Rocks opens Season 7 of the Us People Podcast with a focus on creativity, shedding cultural trauma, finding purpose, and leaving a legacy that benefits humanity. She interviews Dr. Amir Marvasti, an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon, who shares his background of being born in Texas, raised in Iran until age 18, and then immigrating to the U.S. to rebuild his life in California describing how living between Eastern and Western cultures shaped his identity.  Amir explains the contrasting influences of his parents: his father (also an ophthalmologist) modeled discipline, hard work, and goal-driven sacrifice, while his mother modeled a different kind of sacrifice centered on family, along with openness, emotion, and adaptability; he describes himself as a bridge carrying both energies.  He discusses defining himself beyond titles, emphasizing that doctors are human, and says his fulfillment comes from helping others especially opening doors for people who were told they could not succeed while connection is central to his sense of purpose and how he evaluates himself when he ‘looks in the mirror.’  On peace, Amir frames it as accepting what is out of his control while doing his best with what is within his control.  00:00 Meet Savia Rocks + The Legacy Mindset (Season 7 Teaser) 01:10 Welcome to Season 7: Introducing Dr. Amir Marvasti (Ophthalmologist) 03:06 Amir’s Origin Story: Growing Up Between Iran & the U.S. 04:53 Parents, Sacrifice & Identity: Discipline vs Openness 08:25 Mirror Question: Purpose, Fulfillment & Being More Than a Title 14:52 Connection, Grief & Hard Conversations After Losing His Mother 15:58 A Day in the Life of an Ophthalmologist: Humanizing Vision Care 21:08 Silent Eye Diseases & Elective Surgery: Glaucoma, Checkups, LASIK 22:53 Why Ophthalmology?
