In that space, it really started to hit home. I’ve been studying different techniques and different metaphysical things. Within that space, I started to hear my own voice and started to hear that voice that I have been suppressing for many years. I took a year off and just got into a cocoon and didn’t really do anything except for meditate a lot, made a lot of space for myself. When I finally left the corporate world, the input there was to leave the corporate world because it was painful for me to be there and I just couldn’t take it anymore.

Now they pay thousands of dollars for people to teach them how to do that, but not in my day they didn’t. You can’t sit in a corporate meeting and go, “Okay everyone, let’s visualize and meditate.” At least I didn’t think you could do that. I used to work in the restaurant industry and then I worked in the casino industry in Las Vegas and then I worked in telecommunications in Germany and then technology in Barcelona, around the technology service center here, so very varied background.Īll my life really I had a drive to help people and I was always a teacher and always could read energy and suppress that for many years because I thought that was just weird and you can’t really bring that out. Melody: That had absolutely nothing to do with my corporate background because I have a very varied background. You talked for a little bit about your corporate background. I’ve never lived that long anywhere in my entire life, but I continue to love it here. It’s just right on the Mediterranean, you’ve got the mountains really close, it’s got a very artistic culture, architecture is amazing, it’s got a beautiful energy, which is why I’ve been here for 12 years. When you said Barcelona, I said, “Oh, yeah I know a little bit about that. Total immersion, they spoke nothing but Spanish, went to the museums and had some classes there and everything. Just to think about Barcelona, my daughter Britney when she was in high school not majored in but was really interested in Spanish and she was taking advance placement Spanish et cetera and they had a special program where their Spanish teacher took a bunch of them over to Barcelona for I think a couple of weeks, two weeks, or two and a half weeks. Over the course of five years, that really did help me to calm down a bit and then I stepped out of the corporate life and started doing what I’m doing now.

You start to get influenced by that and I think that really started to open my eyes to why am I running all the time? Why am I constantly hurrying all the time? Why am I trying to produce, produce, produce? What is it that I actually want? Go down to the coffee shop and have a proper coffee like a normal human being.

If you have your coffee at your desk, again you’re just stupid. They wonder, “Why would you do that? Why wouldn’t you just go out into the sun and eat?” For example, if you eat lunch at your desk, they look at you like you’re crazy. I don’t think I would have grown as much in another country as I would have in Spain. It’s absolutely magical and it’s been incredibly transformative for me because I stepped right back into the corporate world for a while when I was here and did that for five years. It’s a city that you just fall in love with when you come here. I taught English for a year, hated it, but loved Barcelona so I decided to stay here, but give up the English teaching thing and got a proper job for a while. I traveled through here and then just decided to stay here. The original plan was to teach English and travel all around the world but then I got stuck in Barcelona because I loved it so much. I’ve been working in Germany for a few years and just got really tired of it and thought I’d travel around the world.

Melody: I was backpacking around Europe for four months, having stepped out of the corporate world for little while. What got you to Barcelona?
