39: Award Winning Writer & Director TOPAZ ADIZES on Storytelling and Human Connection In The Digital Age

 

I met the award winning writer and director +  the founder of The Skin Deep Topaz Adizes at a yoga and QiGong training, which he was documenting. He struck me with the depth of his presence, and a few years later I found myself at Grace Retreat, an immersive 5-day experience that he designed. To say it was life-changing would be an understatement, and you can feel it in my vlog about it.

In this episode, Topaz and I cover:

• Why he calls himself a "storybreaker"
• How technology affects the emotional experience of life
• Dating in the digital age
• What we can learn from how The Skin Deep videos where shared on social media when it went viral
• Why business skills are vital for an artistic person
• How The Skin Deep created 170K in revenue in under 1 year with their 2-person team using Shopify
• The transformational power of storytelling
• What happens at Grace Retreat
• An appreciation jar ritual to capture memories with your coworkers and loved ones
