Join us for a captivating episode with Ricky Locke, magician, speaker, and confidence coach. Ricky shares his remarkable journey of pivoting his career and fulfilling his ambition of becoming a TEDx Speaker, all through harnessing the power of curiosity.

In this conversation, discover how curiosity is like a compass to guide us through the unexpected, encouraging you to embrace the unknown and unlock new possibilities. Ricky delves into powerful techniques, explaining how visualisation helps achieve goals by using a vision board and daily affirmations. He shares how his affirmation, "I'm so happy and grateful now delivering my first TEDx," helped program his brain to generate ideas and opportunities, answering the question: do affirmations work?.

The episode also tackles the importance of challenging self-imposed constraints and learning to ask more questions about your beliefs. Ricky underscores the message to don't let limiting beliefs hold you back, explaining that most fears are learned and can be unlearned. He encourages listeners to embrace discomfort, recognising it as merely "unfamiliar" territory where "the magic happens". Tune in to be inspired to remain incurably curious and embrace the unfolding journey of life.
