Welcome to episode number 18 of starTEDover, the final episode of season one. My idea from the beginning was to produce 18  18-minute interviews that would inspire listeners and even save lives. Though my guest today was one of my first interviews, I wanted to save publication for the season’s finale because, frankly, my guest Ryan Geist could have used a story like his when he was experiencing his darkest days of addiction and psychosis.

My guest today on starTEDover is Kirk Westwood, who shares his story of pushing to be the best, which led to tremendous pain, and then learning to follow what he loved, which led to tremendous healing.

Diagnosed with an illness they said would kill him, Kirk Westwood turned to doing things he didn’t understand: Extreme Shamanic practices and rituals from around the world that fundamentally changed him as a person.

Studying at the feet of several masters for many years to develop skills that dramatically altered the course of his life. He reluctantly kept being drawn back to the honing of an acute intuition to read people and situations.

Not wanting to be a healer and enamored by the exploits of close friends who were elite military operators, he did the ultimate run-away and joined the Army.

It was there, embedded with an Australian Special Forces Unit to train up for Selection that he observed the all too common occurrence of Special Forces Operators (SAS, Commando's, SEAL's, Delta units) experiencing extreme luck in dire combat situations.

After a live-fire training accident ate away the cornea in his left eye months before deployment, he focused his skills into forging a trainable dynamic to create what looks like luck. A "Bubble of Luck" if you will.

His impetus was then to travel the world documenting extreme rituals and practices to understand the common thread of these practices that miraculously change lives.

Becoming an expert with thousands of hours in reading people and situations effectively and in what cultures do around the world to create what looks like good fortune, the journey continues.

Now companies, organizations and sports teams have used his skills to make/raise millions of dollars, successfully pivot technologies and create winning teams as a direct result of him creating luck for them.
