Episode 18: Light, Material & Perception | Artist Ruben Benjamin on Art in the Physical World

In this episode of Peace & Good Wealth, Loy Carlos sits down with German artist Ruben Benjamin for a conversation on perception, curiosity, material, and the importance of physical experience in an increasingly digital world. Working at the intersection of painting, sculpture, texture, and atmosphere, Benjamin creates works that shift dramatically between distance and proximity- surfaces that appear almost digital from afar, yet reveal deeply physical layers of pigment, erosion, and materiality up close. Together, they explore the relationship between engineering and creativity, the discipline behind artistic process, and why nature continues to inspire even in an era dominated by screens.

Episode 17: Discipline, Commitment & Transformation | Ethan Daniel Corbett on the Work of Acting

In this episode of Peace & Good Wealth, Loy Carlos sits down with actor and filmmaker Ethan Daniel Corbett to examine what it takes to sustain a career in acting beyond talent- discipline, repetition, and the willingness to challenge one's self to the limit. From early exposure on Warner Brothers sets through his father’s four-decade career, to training within a highly selective theater program at Cal State Fullerton, Corbett reflects on a path shaped not by chance, but by structure and persistence. The conversation moves through the realities of the profession: navigating rejection, developing a personal method, removing ego from performance, and understanding that there is no single “correct” way to work- only the responsibility to be prepared. They also discuss the physical demands of transformation, including significant weight loss for roles in Regression and Astrolatry, and why aligning the body with the character is not aesthetic, but functional.

Episode 16: Simply, Patiently, Quietly | The Sound of Stillness with Charlie Rauh

In this episode of Peace & Good Wealth, Loy Carlos sits down with NYC-based composer and author Charlie Rauh for a conversation on what modern life discourages- and what great art quietly restores: simplicity, patience, and quietude. Rauh, the author of Simply, Patiently, Quietly (String Letter Publishing), shares how his work pushes back against hustle culture and why “being busy” has become a false virtue. Together, they explore the discipline of reduction (simple vs. simplistic), the link between patience and empathy—including Rauh’s experience as composer-in-residence at Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine—and the meaning of quiet beyond silence: as awareness, confidence, and healing. They also discuss intentional art as an offering rather than a performance, the role of classic literature (including the Brontës) in modern creative life, and why—on guitar especially—vulnerability can be the very thing that makes the music land.

Episode 15: Revekka Palaiologou | Dion, Redefining Social Drinking

Technology promised connection- but often delivered noise. In this episode, Loy Carlos sits down with Revekka Palaiologou, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, former Bloomberg software engineer, and Founder & CEO of Dion- the invite-only platform reshaping how people meet through social gifting. Often called “the Venmo for drinks,” Dion is more than a transaction: it’s a modern social contract- sending a real cocktail, coffee, or matcha that can be redeemed in the real world, with clarity of intention (networking, dating, or socializing). Together, they explore how Dion is scaling across New York, Miami, Dubai, and Mexico City, and why the future of culture and brand relevance may belong to communities- not algorithms. From etiquette and “when it’s charming vs. creepy,” to curated networks, circles, and the psychology of reciprocity- this conversation is a sharp look at how we might find our way back to meaningful connection. https://dionapp.com/ [https://dionapp.com/] Credits: Loy Carlos (Host) Kenneth J.
