Tania Coke: Legend of Corporeal Mime
The marriage between lunacy and logic is our theme in this episode with Tania Coke, a corporeal mime teacher and performer now based in Osaka. I’d love to give a shout out to Tania’s manager when she was a self proclaimed geeky management consultant, who let her work part time for several years while she studied corporeal mime.
Neil Young: Legend of Beauty
It's the magic that keeps us together. Neil Young has been a mentor to me at a time when I really needed it. In this episode you will hear how his home became a refuge in Hurricane Sandy but also how he showed me what was possible as I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey. Neil will steal your heart too. We follow his career from the UK to New York, to meeting Linda Evangelista who he once had a shrine to. Also a shout out to our dear friend Max!
Zoë Cobb: Legend of Movement
Zoë Cobb joined a passing circus and was invited to sit next to a Lama in Tibet when she needed it most. These are just some of the stories of the mystical that “widen the scale of possible” in this episode of the Legends Interview Podcast. Zoë takes us on her journey across the world to where she is now in Milan, Italy with her gorgeous family, one of whom makes an appearance in this episode!
Kate Thomson: Legend of Sculpture
How on earth does a young woman from Edinburgh find her way to Iwate Prefecture, in the depths of Tohoku to become a successful sculptor? A sculptor of gigantic stone public art you see in front of buildings all over the world. You are about to hear the Legend of Kate Thomson. If you are an artist at heart, that did something else like I did, you will love this episode and I hope it inspires you to bring yourself back to your art.
Neil Chapman and D Whom: Legend of Identity
Beautiful, spiritual, morbid, incredible darlings whose deepest value is decay…My guests are Neil Chapman and D Whom, who pull back one of their seven veils in this episode, sharing how they came to be in Tokyo and how they are pushing out the edge. Influencing culture. These two respected artists float my boat hard.
Laura Cooper: Legend of Words
Magical, mythical, legendary. There is so much magic in this episode with Laura Cooper. We dive into the mystery of golden threads that run through a life and how it happens that the right opportunity comes along just when you are ready. Laura shares her journey from Buckinghamshire, to Japan, Bali, Spain and back to the UK to pursue her passion for writing and photography.
Aleksandar Dragičević: The Legend of Video
Welcome to Season 5 of the Legends Series. This episode starts with my guest Aleksandar Dragičević sharing his experience of the bombing of Belgrade, now Serbia in 1999 when he was just 19 years old and about to embark on a journey to Japan. A chance conversation in a nightclub shines a light on a possibility for Aleks and his life is never the same after that as he is whisked to Tokyo on a modelling contract. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Marilyn Klein and Thierry Mugler.

Join us for another WTF happened next episode, this time checking in on Sarah Furuya Coaching client and friend, Angela Ortiz. Get ready to hear about falling in love, moving in, getting engaged, planning a wedding, kids moving out, losing a job and still being ok. All in just 14 months. But being better than ok, choosing to frolic through it all actually. Angela shows us a new way to approach relationships and why it’s important to frolic.
Tiffany Rossdale: Legend of Transformation
This episode is dedicated to Leah Moreno, a dear friend and mentor of my guest Tiffany Rossdale whose death is still unsolved. It is a true honour to have Tiffany on the Legends Interview Series, and that she feels safe to share her story with us. Physical and psychological safety for the LGBTQ+ community should be a given, but as we arrive in 2022, it is still far away for many. Tiffany shares her story of transformation and I hope this window into the life of this stunning and optimistic transgender women will contribute to this.
