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.View Ethan's Work: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6057508/Regression: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26766308/Astrolatry: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt40018258/-Credits: Loy Carlos (Host) Kenneth J.

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.Outro: Theoria Part 6 by Charlie Rauh (credit Destiny Records)View Charlie's work: www.charlierauh.com-Credits:Loy Carlos (Host)Kenneth J.

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/Credits:Loy Carlos (Host)Kenneth J.

Episode 12: Sculpting the Essence: Leah Poller on Art, Energy, and the Unseen Self
What makes art resonate- technique, truth, or something we can’t quite name? In this intimate episode of Peace & Good Wealth, host Loy Carlos sits down with celebrated sculptor and cultural curator Leah Poller, whose figurative work delves into the energy that connects artist, object, and observer.Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and known for her iconic Bed Series and Warrior Women sculptures, Poller reflects on her decades-long journey across continents, mediums, and mindsets. From forging a life as an artist and mother in post-1960s Paris, to collaborating with monumental foundries in China, to quietly championing the dignity of the “ordinary woman,” her story is one of discipline, disruption, and devotion to truth.Together, they explore:The alchemy of turning energy into formThe spiritual anatomy of a sculpted portraitHow culture, not commerce, should define the value of artWhy good art- like good wealth- transforms the one who holds itAt once poetic and practical, Leah reminds us that true art doesn’t just decorate a space- it dignifies the soul.Explore Leah's work: https://leahpoller.com/https://www.instagram.com/nsglobalwealth/https://www.officeofglobalwealth.com--Credits:Loy Carlos (Host)Kenneth J.
