In this episode, we are joined by the inspiring martial artist and mentor Matt Jane for a heartfelt exploration of his unique temple in London. This space is far more than a martial arts school; it’s a sanctuary for growth, creativity, and self-expression, built by Matt himself as a reflection of his philosophy and life experiences.
Matt takes us on a tour of the temple, sharing the stories behind his wall of mentors—a tribute to figures who shaped his journey. From the humility and poetry of Muhammad Ali to the innovation of Steve Jobs, the creativity of Jackie Chan, and the resilience of Tupac, each person represents a lesson in discipline, perseverance, and the pursuit of greatness. Through their influence, Matt has crafted a unique approach to martial arts that goes beyond fighting, focusing instead on conquering oneself.
The conversation delves into the personal impact of pop culture icons like Michael Jackson, whose transformative use of language inspired Matt’s creativity, and Goku from Dragon Ball, whose philosophy of self-mastery resonates deeply with him. Matt also reflects on parenting, sharing how he has drawn from these lessons to foster a powerful connection with his son and create an environment where growth and imagination can thrive.
Through Matt’s insights, this episode reveals how inspiration can be drawn from diverse sources—music, film, cartoons, and life’s challenges—and channelled into building a meaningful life. Join us for a thought-provoking journey into the heart of creativity, discipline, and the enduring power of personal transformation.

In this deeply reflective episode, martial artist and mindfulness teacher Shi Heng Yi shares his profound philosophy for living a prosperous and meaningful life. Through thought-provoking insights and personal experiences, he challenges us to shift our focus from the pursuit of fleeting happiness to the cultivation of inner peace. He describes peace as an unshakable stillness within, a state of being that remains untouched by external fluctuations and the dualities of life. His teachings remind us that the search for happiness may lead to disillusionment, while peace offers something far more enduring and fulfilling.
Shi Heng Yi explains how acknowledging and understanding emotions is the key to transforming them, rather than denying their existence. Drawing on metaphors of nature and cinematic imagery, he illustrates how emotions are temporary clouds passing across the sky of our consciousness—a perspective that can free us from identifying with our fears.
Throughout the episode, Shi Heng Yi shares personal anecdotes that bring his philosophy to life, including a serene moment of clarity while riding through the jungles of Thailand. These moments of stillness, he explains, arise when we stop adding expectations to our experiences and instead open ourselves to the present. He also reflects on the value of helping others, emphasizing that true fulfillment comes not from material wealth but from seeing growth and transformation in those we support.
This episode is a profound reminder of the importance of living with purpose and intention. Shi Heng Yi inspires us to stop waiting for life’s meaning to reveal itself and instead take an active role in giving our lives a sense of purpose. Whether through cultivating peace, overcoming fear, or helping others grow, his teachings offer practical and transformative steps toward a richer, more balanced existence.
