My Taoism interview with Kate Turkington

by Ramon Thomas in Media/Podcasts on 2727/020202/2010201020102010 • 4 Comments • , , , , , , ,

A few weeks ago I did my first interview with Kate Turkington on Talk Radio 702 and Cape Talk. My good friend Reuel Leach recorded it for me and emailed me the mp3 file of this interview for download soon afterwards. Whatever you know about Taoism is probably limited to the many myths about Eastern religion and philosophy. This interview was during a very stressful period in my life. And its always been my goal to let go of things, especially goals. In this interview I reference the excellent modern translation of the Tao Te Ching by Ron Hogan.

Any questions about Taoism? Feel free to post them below.

Tony Robbins interview on Larry King Live

by Ramon Thomas in Role Model on 1919/050505/2007200720072007 • 1 Comment • , ,

A great interview with Anthony Robbins on Larry King Live from December 2006. They discussed why new year resolutions often don’t work out. And went into depth about some basics around human motivation and effecting change in your life. I really like how Tony links his theories on change back to physiological and biological changes. When I used to workout at the gym I had little change. And now I know it’s because my diet was the same. So not much changed in my body. I may have improved my cardio but not much else. They also discussed in detail his support for the death row victim Stan ‘Tookie’ Williams (portrayed by Jamie Foxx in the made-for-TV film Redemption). I teach a process on becoming clear about your what you want, what you don’t want, and the person you have to become to attract someone into your life, that I learned from Tony. Anyway here’s the awesome interview with the brilliant interviewer Larry King:

MXit blasts through 3 million users

by Ramon Thomas in Mobile on 0101/020202/2007200720072007 • 3 Comments • , , , , ,

** MXit has already reached 6 million by beginning 2008. Download the Parents Guide to MXit from this link. **

Its now official MXit has broken through 3 million users. This is really a phenomenal success for a South African born and bred company. The purchase by Naspers of 30% in MXit Lifestyle (Pty) Ltd, will accelerate the roll out internationally. Herman Heunis, CEO of MXit Lifestyle, says they are still growing at between 9,000 and 12,000 users per day. And I still think it may be higher.

Anyway at this growth rate MXit will hit 4 million by April. As you can imagine this growth means that the amount of abuse, addiction associated with it will grow as well. And I’d like to remind you that at the low end that about 3% and its more likely to be about 6-9% of all users have some form of addiction. Which puts the range between 90,000 and 270,000 users.
