#8 Swapping the Trading Floor for the Film Industry - Doug Robson aka The Downward Doug - Stuntman & Yoga Teacher

The Remote Edition Podcast

Welcome to Episode 8 of the WELL + WILD Podcast. This week we have a super interesting guest with a fascinating story. Doug Robson, originally from Botswana started out his career in the banking industry, he soon realised it wasn’t really fulfilling him, so he left and found himself in the world of stunt performers! He has since performed stunts in Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, Game of Thrones and Kingsman. More recently, he became interested in Yoga and created his own blend of Yoga called ‘Warrior Yoga’, a mix of martial arts and yoga. Doug teaches regularly at Psycle and Peckham Levels. He is also a Lululemon Ambassador. We discuss his motivations for leaving the banking industry, why we should challenge ourselves to go after our passions and what makes us happy instead of the perceived ‘safe’ option. I was fascinated to hear more about what a stunt performer does and I quizzed him about his experiences such as getting set alight! What an incredible discussion, please enjoy the episode and thanks so much for listening! I’d be very grateful if you could please leave me a review if you enjoyed this episode, it helps me get more and more amazing guests on here for you to listen to. Thank you!
