Empty your mind.
Be formless, shapeless, like water.
You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.
You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Now water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.
This episode is another longer one but I bet you a tenner you don't even notice when you're listening.
Islington boy Ivan was on track to be a professional footballer but life had other plans for him, including quoting Bruce Lee at wannabe boxers like me. In this episode we discuss the fundamental connection between the body and the mind, between physical and mental health, and the mystical stuff in between.
We also talk lots of deep shit about water (Bruce would be loving it).
Complementary content:
- The Rocky 4 No Easy Way Out montage (better than Prozac)
- Public Enemy, He Got Game (when hip-hop artists were the true poets and philosophers of our time)
- The course I mention in the intro is run by Bernhard Guenther and his wife Laura
- Niall, the boy who gave me my first boxing lesson: 1976-2011
- Follow Ivan and get the guns of your dreams!
