episode Andy "One Shot" Gotts! Hollywood's Very Favorite Photographer, on Realizing his Dream of a 36-Year 'Wish List' of Who to Photograph, John Hurt's Last Recording, Monty Python and on Never Chasing Fame! cover

Beskrivelse

When Andy Gotts was 18, a stranger in Norfolk asked him why he didn't look happy. That single question and the Photography Teacher it quietly led him to, set in motion a 36 year path from a college darkroom in King's Lynn to Hollywood's most idiosyncratic black-and-white portraits. In this Stories of Distinction & Genius episode, Chris Grimes welcomes Andy "One Shot" Gotts into The Clearing to trace the whole arc: From the 300 letters with not a single reply, the 1 yes from Joss Ackland at his son's wedding in Clovelly, and the line "what do you do and who shagged who?!" that finally gave the wish list its theme.  Andy talks about the 150 Actors he set out to photograph in 1995, the long, patient pursuit of Gary Oldman that ended this year through Big Mo and a young actress sliding into his DMs, and how Paul Newman himself christened him "One Shot Gotts" after a 4 minute shoot in Connecticut. The conversation moves through the people who shaped him: His milkman father leaving for work at 3:00 every morning, his devoted mother, Dr Tony Leach who taught him Photography on Saturdays in Holt, Stephen Fry whose 90 second portrait at a college Q&A genuinely started his career, and Sir John Hurt, born on the very same day as Andy's dad. Andy shares the afternoon in East Runton when John told him over a pint of red wine that he had cancer and months to live, and asked Andy back the following weekend to direct him. What followed - John in his late father's priest's robes, speaking 'Imagine' as a parable in a single take - became John Hurt's last ever recording. There are also the secret Monty Python reunion shoots at Duke's at 3:00 in the morning; LS Lowry, Hitchcock and Sidney Poitier's story about Tony Curtis and The Defiant Ones; Bob Ross's happy little clouds taking over lockdown; three years spent funding a degree as a Norfolk Nightclub Bouncer; an unwavering refusal to retouch a single line on a face; and the epitaph Ringo Starr gave him, "the Ansel Adams of faces." A warm, story-rich hour and a half about tenacity, taste, and what it really means to "stay on the bus!" 🌐 andygotts.com 🌐 thegoodlisteningtoshow.com CONTACT ANDY GOTTS WEBSITE: https://www.andygotts.com [https://www.andygotts.com/] X: https://x.com/DrGotts [https://x.com/DrGotts] FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/drgotts [https://www.facebook.com/drgotts] INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/drgotts/ [https://www.instagram.com/drgotts/] Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

episode Specialization is for Insects cover

Specialization is for Insects

Specialization is for Insects Today we use some sarcasm to illustrate some of the crazy ideas that we have been fed to us by the government and the media. We also cover the benefits of being able to do a multitude of tasks fairly well. While a lot of industries, including medicine, encourage people to specialize, as Robert Heinlein put it "Specialization is for insects." We talk about where stocks are, what health changes can make a difference, and why the dollar's reserve currency status is doomed. How do you destroy a society? Debauch the currency. Encourage immorality.  Immorality makes bad citizens but makes good slaves. We talk about what you need to know and ways you can free yourself from the broken systems.   Immorality makes bad citizens but makes good slaves.

episode Awaken Hope with Leisa Peterson on AWAKE Process in Money cover

Awaken Hope with Leisa Peterson on AWAKE Process in Money

After all, you know it’s not just about money
Leisa shares... After working on the relationship I had with myself for over 20 years and then bringing these discoveries back into my relationship with money, I came to realize how common it is for many of us to get confused about what it means to truly value ourselves. More common than not, we believe our value comes from external sources like money, relationships, and beauty. However, this isn’t really what causes true self-value. Instead it comes from inside and no amount of money, or success for that matter, is going to change it. Which is why you can have all the money in the world and still feel poor inside.  True freedom comes as a result of improving how you feel about yourself. Many people lose out on money, time and opportunity every day because they don’t understand how to shift the inner narrative that impacts their their peace of mind. My work is unique because it comes, from the essential knowledge in my core, from my intuition, and from my skills, which have been refined for more than two decades of practice, during which I’ve worked with thousands of clients from all over the world. I share my knowledge with those who value it and dedicate their time and energy to a greater purpose: that of knowing themselves.  My approach is not mystical, it is practical. I inspire people to overcome their limitations. I believe true self-realization should generate an impact on the material dimension because that is where change can be actualized and applied. For many people, it isn’t until you go through this process that you achieve financial independence and economic freedom.
