As we approach our Quick as Thieves Charity Run, Mike Toner talks to one of the most respected producers, DJ’s and now turned runner Rich from Audiojack, about how his run journey started, the impact running has on his life now, his philosophy on running, and most importantly, how NOT to run a marathon.

If there is one thing that the last 18 months has taught us, it's that trying to make a full time living as a music artist, in the music events space has never been more challenging. Many of the artists we work with, turns out they have super interesting side hustles to keep them going.

In this episode of the Raising the vibration podcast, Mike sits down with Simon from Andhim, who has a number of side hustles, one of which will blow your mind.

Simon opens up about why having a side hustle is not only good to help cope financially, but also to help you stay grounded, and ensure you have purpose, which can inevitably have a positive impact on mental health.

Next up on the Raising the Vibration podcast is Kaveh aka Pleasurekraft to discuss a range of subjects from cognition to consciousness. A big proponent in examining where we get our information on, he is currently studying a masters in philosophy of mind. His view on social media companies is enlightening:

“Every time you open a social media app on your phone, its you versus tens of thousands of the smartest people in the world, most of whom are qualified in behaviour sciences, with one single objective.. to get to know you better than even you know yourself”….

Join Mike as he took a deep dive with Kaveh into everything from social media companies, the quality of information we source, the human brain and how it is not evolving fast enough for our rapidly changing environment, as well as a host of other interesting topics.

Tune in and as always feel free to leave your thoughts on any of the topics we spoke about in the comments. Enjoy!

Tune in as Anna talks about her journey with meditation, the benefits she experiences from a regular meditation practise, and some tips for anyone struggling to get started.
