Yasmina Ksikes

Yasmina Ksikes is a food alchemist, a culinary artist who, in the words of David Lynch, "brings joy with her food and luxuriates in the cooking process." Born in Rabat and raised in Casablanca, Morocco, Yasmina was nurtured by a household rich in spices, music, and great food. Her mother and grandmothers, teachers by tradition, passed down the sacred rituals of Moroccan cooking. They inspired her not just to cook, but mostly how to infuse food with spirit, joy, and devotion. In this conversation, Yasmina opens up about the philosophy behind her art — how she surrenders to ingredients rather than controlling them, how she finds the divine in the creative process, and how cooking became her language for connection, love, and letting go. We talk about impermanence, motherhood, prayer versus manifestation, trauma, destiny, and what it means to live fully present in each fleeting moment. Yasmina is one deep person, a wise soul and friend who generously shared her wisdom and her process with me here.

Shannon Lee

Shannon Lee — writer, producer, CEO of Bruce Lee Enterprises and chairperson of the board of directors of the Bruce Lee Foundation— sits down for a rare, deeply personal conversation about her spiritual journey, her father's legacy and the philosophy that saved her life which came from reading an unpublished Bruce Lee quote: "The medicine for my suffering I had within me from the very beginning, but I didn't take it." That moment cracked her open — and sent her on a decades-long path of healing, self-discovery, and deep inquiry into what it really means to live. In this episode, we explore Shannon’s deep mind and her unique interpretations of her father’s philosophies appliedto today’s life. We also dig into Bruce Lee's lesser-known quotes on will, art, the soul, and the oneness of all life — and Shannon breaks each one of them down in a way you've never heard before. This one will give you goosebumps as it did me. Thank You Shannon https://www.instagram.com/therealshannonlee/ [https://www.instagram.com/therealshannonlee/] https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic/ [https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic/]

Trevor Tuttle

Trevor Tuttle has spent decades at the intersection of story and technology — building creatures for George Lucas, designing theme park experiences, pioneering virtual production — all while hiding behind the dazzle. In this conversation, Trevor gets honest about what it means to step out of spectacle and into something real. We talk about trading people-pleasing for purpose, the three-part framework of war, commitment, and resolve, why conscious artists can't afford to walk away from AI, and what it looks like to finally ask yourself what you actually want. This one goes deep. https://www.trevortuttle.com/ https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic/

Suuvi

Suuvi is a Cuban-Chinese multidisciplinary artist, composer, producer, creative technologist, and speaker working at the intersection of electronic music, contemporary composition, and immersive storytelling. From 16 years of conservatory training and a Juilliard education, to a 10-day silent meditation retreat where she started hearing phantom cello in complete darkness, to becoming artist-in-residence at the San Francisco Conservatory after a chance encounter at a wine dinner — Suuvi's path has been anything but linear. In this conversation, we get into her album Dark Therapy, the neuroscience of music and the brain, what it actually means to process darkness (literally and figuratively), the sunk cost fallacy of a classical career, seven years of being single and what that taught her, and why she believes softness is the greatest strength. We also talk about flow states, Muay Thai, Dostoevsky, the Mandy Moore story, and whether music and magic share the same root word. A wide-ranging, deeply human conversation about art, suffering, and what it takes to finally find your own voice. https://www.instagram.com/callmesuuvi https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic

Astra

This week's guest is Astra — a composer, sound alchemist, and producer who has spent years working in 432Hz tuning, crafting ambient music rooted in sacred geometry, solfeggio tones, and the healing frequencies of the chakras. His music has moved millions of listeners organically, without a label or marketing budget — just pure resonance. In this conversation we go deep. We talk about the spiritual nature of music, the discipline of making music 12 hours a day every single day, and what it actually means to clear your energy when other people's emotions get tangled with yours. We also get into some of the biggest questions — are we God disguising itself from itself just to have an experience? Can music still change the world? And what does it feel like when a piece of music is finally right? A conversation about sound, spirit, and showing up for your art. https://www.instagram.com/echoesofstarlight/ https://www.instagram.com/rezasafiniamusic/
