Feisworld Podcast

It's been another month before I released one of these episodes. I bought a house and finally moved it!  Staying on top of my own content calendar during a move has proven to be very challenging.  This episode is more than a quick hello, I want to share with you things I've learned during this significant transition, as well as people I encountered, projects I worked on while my world is spinning around.  Much love, Fei --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/support

We reversed the roles today. Lovette Otegbola met me because of my recent YouTube videos. She invited me to join her live on Instagram, where we discussed all things relate to running a successful fitness business online.  Because of covid-19, many gyms closed down, instructors had to set up virtual fitness classes online overnight.  What are some of the lessons learned so far? Let's chat!  More resources from Feisworld: https://www.feisworld.com/livestream  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/support

Jeremy Ten is a Canadian figure skater, a three-time Canadian national medallist (silver in 2015, bronze in 2009 and 2012). He competed in the free skate at seven ISU Championships. Jeremy strikes me as someone who’s highly skilled and yet incredibly humble. After being interviewed by at least 5-6 reporters just before our conversation, he pleasantly accepted my invite to join Feisworld as part of a Facebook Live series, where I interview performers as I travel with my partner Adam Leffert. AXEL is a different kind of Cirque show. After CRYSTAL (the very first ice show from Cirque), AXEL became the second success story of attempting something so out of the ordinary for Cirque. Artistic director Shana Carroll has been interviewed on Feisworld once before when CRYSTAL was in production. Jeremy and I talked about AXEL, what it’s like to be a traveling artist at the age of 30, transitioning from a professional, competing skater to a circus performer, plus Jeremy’s skincare routine that keeps him looking young and
