#057 Ashley Green - There is always an opportunity to adapt and pivot at the moment

The Oliver Schirach Show

Welcome to this episode with Ashley Green the Mindreader. I got to know Ashley through a common podcaster group and the podcast "The Successful Mentalist" (TSM), which he co hosts with Aidan O'Sullivan. This interview was recorded together with another two episodes on the same day for Ashley and Aidan from the TSM. And I had a great fun that day. There is so much you can learn from this and the second part of this interview that I don't have enough space to write it down here. During this episode you will get to know Ashley from another side. He shares with us the 3 words how he describes himself. Weird, Optimistic and Adaptive

The colour he would be in a colouring box is GREEN. What a surprise.

A secret not many know: He wanted to be a plumber until the age of 17 for whatever strange reasons.

We furthermore got to talk about:

• His weird gifts from his girlfriend. Faceless painting and more
• The excitement of being an entertainer and what he loves about it

• His experiences with autism and that he embraces it fully “Why are you happy that you are autistic? Why wouldn’t I be? I am happy with myself! You say that I should be unhappy because of a label?”
• How to know what to aim for in life. "You need to have that foundation of confidence first and then point and shoot”
