39: Award Winning Writer & Director TOPAZ ADIZES on Storytelling and Human Connection In The Digital Age   I met the award winning writer and director +  the founder of The Skin Deep Topaz Adizes at a yoga and QiGong training, which he was documenting. He struck me with the depth of his presence, and a few years later I found myself at Grace Retreat, an immersive 5-day experience that he designed. To say it was life-changing would be an understatement, and you can feel it in my vlog about it. In this episode, Topaz and I cover: Why he calls himself a "storybreaker" How technology affects the emotional experience of life Dating in the digital age What we can learn from how The Skin Deep videos where shared on social media when it went viral Why business skills are vital for an artistic person How The Skin Deep created 170K in revenue in under 1 year with their 2-person team using Shopify The transformational power of storytelling What happens at Grace Retreat An appreciation jar ritual to capture memories with your coworkers and loved ones See all show notes and links on wokeandwired.com.  Connect with Woke & Wired: If you enjoyed the podcast, please share it.
