This week, join John and Julian for a special Chinese New Year episode of Winning Not Fighting

We take a deep dive into the history, philosophy, and real-world impact of Wing Tsun Kung Fu, the ancient Chinese martial art that underpins Winning Not Fighting, from its origins in self-defence to its modern-day applications.

You’ll learn how its approach to slowing-down time has transformed the way baristas at Leon work, how it enhances decision-making in high-pressure environments, and why Wing Tsun’s wisdoms are more relevant now than ever.

AND we unveil Kwoon: John and Julian’s brand-new digital platform for sharing and preserving ancient and modern wisdoms. Julian takes us through what you can expect in the first course, an unprecedented introduction to the foundations of Wing Tsun.

Imagine the profile of a typical artist. Now think again.

This week, John and Julian speak with artist and painter Alex Talbot-Rice, a master of his craft. Together, they explore the art of staying relaxed, trusting your instincts, and creating opportunities being in flow.

Alex’s path to artistic mastery has taken him from the prestigious halls of The Florence Academy of Art and The Repin Academy of Art to painting portraits for some of the world’s most iconic figures, including H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh, and HH Pope Benedict XVI. But his story goes far beyond his accolades—it's one of passion, adventure, and transformation.

In this episode, Alex shares the pivotal moments of his life: the lessons he’s learned through years of discipline, how he approaches his work with a unique blend of intuition and technique, and the unforgettable stories that have shaped his perspective. One story being about a life-or-death moment with the Taliban that redefined his understanding of humanity.

This conversation is a treasure trove of wisdom and varied experience for anyone looking to create a purposeful and creative path in life.

Whether you’re an artist or a seeker of mastery, Alex’s journey will show you how to harness your own flow, trust your inner compass, and seize the unexpected opportunities that life presents.

Alex might not be what we think of when we think of an artist, but he has lived a life with art at the centre of everything he does.
