Awakened to the power of moving images by Spielberg’s Jaws as a kid, LA was transformed by Chris Marker’s Sans Soleil when he saw it as a film student at York University. Best known as a filmmaker and a multi-media artist. His award-winning films include Twelve, for the National Film Board of Canada, about twelve Canadians who give advice to their twelve-year-old selves, Trying to Be Some Kind of Hero, a documentary tracing the footsteps of his missing grandfather, and This City Has Wings with timeless portraits of random passers-by as angels.

Lester Alfonso (LA) also creates podcasts, takes 35mm photographs, plays the ukulele, and constructs site-specific multi-media installations for festivals and performances.

In May 2019, he was a finalist in the Peterborough Arts Awards for the Mid-Career Artist category in Media Arts, he received the Public Energy Performing Arts Silver Jubilee Award for outstanding contributions in its first 25 years, and he updated his collaboration with Deepti Gupta’s performance and choreography of Static, then — mashed-up 25 years of dance footage for the afterparty.

In autumn of 2019, his first full-length feature film, BIRTHMARK, received a Making a Difference Award — Honourable Mention from Comfest Global Film Festival where it screened for a Toronto audience for the first time and screened at Bagnani Hall at Trent Univesity accompanied by a speaker’s panel of university professors.

In 2018 he performed a live film mix with the Art of Time Ensemble, created a site-specific video spectacle that transformed Peterborough Public Library for Artsweek, and premiered BIRTHMARK his first feature-length creative nonfiction film.

LA is an accomplished Photographer who insists on shooting only 35mm film. He is also producer and host of UKE BOX, the all-ukulele radio show, and the creative nonfiction podcast called SoundProof. He continues to teach his Creative Nonfiction Filmmaking Workshops.

My life is all about helping others. I focus on helping people in there business, financials, homeless, women and children, and so much more.  My Story; As a child, I was homeless with my drug-addicted mother. At 7 1/2 years old I decided I did not want that lifestyle and called my grandmother. She saved me from a horrible life. I testified against my mother in court at 8 years old and became adopted. I went from a child on the streets to a millionaire by the time I was 35 years old.

20-27 My Orchard of Wisdom Is Compassionate Love.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from June 30th

Coming from a place of compassion and love makes my job easy, for it invites those loving souls to come and share their loving passion and acquired skills for those who are in a transition in life.

Self Discovery Media and all the Orchard of Wisdom shows is a humble place. We are more the Tea room or coffee house where you can get an honest dish of wisdom served. Sometimes it may be more that glass of wine or double Scotch type show, but whatever it is, it comes from a place of love.

https://soundcloud.com/plv-radio/20-27-my-orchard-of-wisdom-is-compassionate-love/s-XAvsUIhYALD

In the 8 years, I have been hosting (7 years my own Podcast network) I have learned a lot about people and my self. It is not about the bells and whistles, it is not who has the most followers, or the people who are famous, it is about the people who have taken their own journey in life and now in their divine wisdom wish to share the skills and tools that you will need to go through your own process in life.

I am asked if I interview celebrities, my answer is that everyone here on Self Discovery Media Community is a celebrity for we celebrate those for who they are and what they are here to share with the world.

It does not matter if it is a beginner who is just spreading their wings for the first time or a seasoned person who shares their knowledge because they love helping people. Stories of courage, strength, and found ability is the common theme here, for only those who have walked the path can be of service to another., they make the BEST TEACHERS.

Why do I bring you these people? because I know that you will be inspired by their journey and find an answer to a problem you may not even know you have and find a meaning in it that will propel you forward.

Inspiration begets Invitation.

I know that I am a changed woman because of all these wonderful stories. I know that I am stronger, calmer, wiser, more whole subsequently because of what I have discovered about my self because of these wonderful people who share life’s joy, caring, kindness, skills, compassion, and loving tools to transform one’s life for the better.

I do not have a fancy site, it is the same template as when I started, but it is clear and bright and I hope to all invitational. You see it is not about fame, money, or self-importance, but the pure joy of sharing someone AWESOME who has embraced their life no matter how hard a journey they had.

One day I will make it purely a Non Profit site, but for now, to keep the doors open I have to charge my guests, but what I have found, the true people who respect themselves will also respect my work and not bat an eyelid about it. I still support the beginners who are stepping out onto the wondrous path, also the organizations that are supporting a course themselves because everyone deserves that break to propel forward.

I have found my calling, my meaningful purpose, this is what I am meant to do and I am proud of who I am and the path I am taking. There are always some root problems that stop us from being all we can be. For some, it is an inner child needing to be loved, for others a validation that they count, for some a drive to archive greatness in discovering that greatness is when you empower others. We all have to face a crossroads and be willing to redirect our selves to become the beautiful instrument that joins a Life’s Orchestra that plays harmonious music that touches people’s hearts.

There is some style needed in podcasting, some etiquette to follow as a host and a guest. Our own authenticity is key as that is what leads the way in the hosting, but, also one needs authentic guests who really want to help others as their driving force will always make for an uplifting and inspiring show.

Come and Be Our Guest and or Mentor and share your wisdom with the world. FIND GUEST INFO HERE

BB20-27 Brian Alexander Saving the Worlds Souls

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Brian Alexander, on air from June 30th

Brians says “This is why I do what I do”Self-awareness is such an odd thing.

Sanskrit has the phrase “Neti-Neti” which means “Not this, not that”. Most of us stumble through life finding ourselves (if at all) through a process of “negation” or learning what we are not through experience. This takes a very long time and is often far more painful than it has to be.

In business, this impedes growth, synergy, and momentum. It also contributes to employee disengagement and employee turnover

Rather than stumbling, falling and failing your way to self-awareness (although there is value in that too and it is how I became obsessed with it all in the first place) there are better ways. Less painful ways.

https://soundcloud.com/plv-radio/bb20-27-brian-alexander-saving-the-worlds-souls/s-OdxkCPuCFeK

Brian Alexander spent 7 years as a high performer in the corporate world before taking the leap and following his purpose and passion within entrepreneurship.

Since then he has built a successful business and learned valuable life and leadership lessons. Brian has also logged over 1000 hours in business coaching in the past 4 years with clients, helping them with all things life, business and leadership.

Brian has been on a relentless quest to understand why people do what they do and equally important, why people don’t do what they say they will do.  One thing he realized in this search is that it is everyone’s right and obligation to the world to discover and express their own unique genius and share it with the world.

Having unlocked the code for himself and those around him, he has now made it his life’s work to share it with the world and help every man, woman and child express their own unique genius within.
