Season 3 – Ma Anand Sheela – Freedom, Horizon Goals, & Accepting Life! EP100 "Failure is just another name for success" – Ma Anand Sheela Welcome to episode 100 of 1% Better. Thank you for checking it out. My guest this week is Ma Anand Sheela. Sheela came to prominence recently from the Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country. That's when I learned about her. However many of you listening might have first heard of her back in the early 1980s when she was the secretary of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, latterly known as Osho. The documentary blew my mind and I was struck by Sheela's personality, devotion for Bhagwan, and then her own seemingly unending quest for power. When I watched the show, I thought how cool it would be to talk with her for the podcast. To learn more about her values, upbringing, what drove her motivations, and of course what life is like for her since the commune broke up and after her time in prison. When I managed to connect with her, tell her about the podcast, and invite her to be a guest

He’s an Actor, Writer, Playwright, Podcast & Lover of Guacamole. And I caught up with Bernardo a few weeks back. It was a bit of a unique recording as you’ll hear. It could even lead to a whole new podcast series where I interview guests while their driving. Who knows! Note – we had planned to do this on live video, but the recording wasn’t great due to Bernardo being on the move. We might get together again in the future to do a live stream. It all depends on the demand. Let me know if you’d like to chat with Bernardo! I hope you enjoy the conversation with Bernardo. The summary of the key points are outlined below: 1:00m – Getting last minute auditions! 2:00m – ‘Give us a call if you hear anything?’3:00m – Nerves for larger roles v the lottery of small parts5:00m – Early years & dreams: Soccer & Politics7:00m – An ear
