Quick Fire Questions - Inside The Actors Studio (James Lipton) + The Tim Ferriss Show

Oscar Wilde - “If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward.”

For this episode, I spoke about domestic violence, solutions to domestic violence and gender with Rachel Horman-Brown who is a Solicitor and Head of the Domestic Violence & Forced Marriage Department at Watson Ramsbottom Solicitors. This is not the cheeriest of subjects I realise but it is one of the most important, so I urge everyone to listen or watch the whole conversation as I’m sure there will be something that you’ll take away from it. If you are a victim of domestic violence or abuse and need to access help, I’ve linked some charities below who can help, please don’t try to rationalise harmful behaviour. Domestic violence must never be tolerated.

This episode surrounded a topic I am extremely interested in. As those who know me well know (as I talk about it all the time), I do not believe we have any free will. I believe that the events of the past and the laws of nature determine what we will say, do or think next and that this is incompatible with notions of free will and therefore, we should not praise or blame anyone for their actions and my guest for episode 20 shares this view; Gregg Caruso. He is professor of Philosohy at the state university of New York and honoury professor of philosophy at Macquarie university. He is also the co director of the justice without retribution network at the university of Aberdeen school of law. He has written many books and papers surrounding free will, moral responsibility and punishment. We discussed this idea as well as what consequences (if proven to be true) this would have on society, culture and systems of punishment.

For this episode I spoke with Julia Harte, a local and independent business owner. She has co-owned Maisie’s Boutique, a gift shop in South Queensferry, for over five years. The business has undergone various changes and overcame a wide range of challenges in order to be successful and Julia is definitely one of the primary factors for its success. If you’re looking for Christmas gifts for a family member, friend, colleague or anyone else for that matter, head over to South Queensferry for your Christmas shopping or head over to their website (linked below).

Highlights from Episode 14

Contains some swearing throughout.

For this episode, I spoke with former professional marine mammal trainer turned whistleblower and the subject of the documentary The Walrus and the Whistleblower Phil Demers. We speak about his time at Marineland in Niagara Falls, Canada, how events unfolded leading to him exposing the debilitating lives the animals have at the park and Marineland’s and Phil’s court battle. He has been fighting Marineland for nine years. You can donate to his cause via the websites below so he can get the Walrus Smooshie and her baby to a safer facility.
