The Creative Episode

This Episode Matt talks to Mark about his creative process. His habits, his life. The things that have shaped him as an individual, as a film director, script writer and all round creative human being.

This was recorded a day before the George Floyd killing and while racial issues have shaped Marks upbringing the subject of race was briefly touched upon and perhaps had the timing been different then the conversation would have been one dominated by this. 

Mark was born in London to. Grew up in Zambia during a civil war. Studied architecture. Had dreams of becoming an actor. Became a Radio DJ and now a writer director with credits that include, House at The End Of The Street, Gotham, Locke and Key, Doctor Who, to name but a few.

He imparts wisdom and truth.

You will obtain so much knowledge from this episode, it frightening. Mark is truly a great guest and gave so much in terms of content.

Matt Bowring is a personal trainer, a coach, a business owner and co-founder of Hangar Human Performance Centre in Cardiff, Wales.He loves to find new ways to work, to live, to train, to streamline life to get the best from himself and others.

 In each 30 minute weekly episode and his accompanying blog, Matt will ask a guest - each an expert in self-improvement, productivity, fitness, strength and conditioning, spirituality or media - among other things, the same three questions:

Question 1:  If you knew what you know now about your industry, what would you do differently when coming into it?

Question 2: What habit (life/business/spiritual/social) has most had an impact on your life/success?

Question 3: What one small thing brings you instant joy, and which you think people might be overlooking in their lives? This could be absolutely anything.

And from their answers, Matt will apply one of their lessons or pieces of wisdom to his own life, in order to try and create meaningful and measurable change. 

 52 weeks, 52 habits. A deceptively-easy sounding social experiment that, as a husband and father to twin girls and an 11 year-old son, he'll embrace with all the highs and lows these challenges might bring. And from which you can join Matt on his journey or even embark on your own, to see which habits make a difference, and which might just change your life.
