I'm excited to introduce this week's guest psychic medium, David Maddock. I recently saw David in Leicester Square and we talk about his show. It was just a great evening all round and thank you to everybody that came along, including yourself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was just great and I just felt it was well received and really appreciated, and I touched a lot of people in that noise, and not only the people that was read for, but I believe the people that weren't read for actually took something away from it as well, and that's that's why I love better work that I do, especially being on a live show. I clearly can't, you know, when there's hundreds to hundreds of whatever amount of people in a room, there's no, nowhere I can reach every single person, but what I hope to do is that the people who are not read for still take something away from me.
Speaker 1:We discuss sceptics and how they react to David's show.
Speaker 2:Because I think that the words psychic and this work does have its kind of stigma if that's the word that we want to use attached to it, and I just feel that it's broadening out now to a bigger audience um, you know, and people who like what you just said, who are not. Even if people are not like, okay, I don't want to be read for, but I want to see what it's all about and I think that's really good as well, because I think that they do take a lot from it as well let's rewind a bit and find out when his psychic abilities first came through.
Speaker 2:It's still quite raw here and I'm 38, 39 this month. The cars hit me and my best friend said it was like watching a bouncing ball just bounce all over the place. He said you bounced off a windscreen. The bonnie hit your head off the floor. And he said I just thought I was just watching my best friend die and I truthfully think that's where I opened you up to this work. I really do.
Speaker 1:I think that's what was the start of it opening you up to this work. And then a few other things happened in your place. Does David ever get nervous before a show?
Speaker 2:Kevin, I get nervous doing this. Kevin. I get nervous doing this. Kevin, I'm a nervous, like, seriously, Like Kevin, honestly, I'm a nervous wreck. It doesn't one-to-one, a group reading a love show. Oh, my goodness, Kevin, I'm a nervous honestly. I fought against it because I think I'm here for a great purpose and I'll go against my own kind of how I feel.
Speaker 1:We go into KevJet's quickfire questions and I ask what success means to him? Achieving what?
Speaker 2:your dreams and goals are Doing something that you've always wanted to do or, you know, achieving something that you've done, not what other people or and I'm not talking fan fortune or anything like that I'm talking about things that you want to do for yourself, you know. But this to me is an achievement that I've been on this podcast with you.
Speaker 1:So sit back, relax and enjoy this conversation with the lovely psychic medium, david Maddock. Welcome to KevJet, the podcast psychic medium, david Maddock. Hello, thank you for having me. Thanks for joining me. I know you're a little bit under the weather. We're both a little bit under the weather.
Speaker 2:Yeah, throat yeah, so I do apologize.
Speaker 1:But we're going to go with it and see what happens. Yeah, definitely. Thanks for joining me on a Sunday afternoon. Yes, you're not out at the pub having a Sunday roast.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no, Not today no. Last night Megan's a performer, a singer, my fiance and so we was out last night supporting Megan with a band and it was a great night.
Speaker 1:Amazing, amazing. So it's a rest day.
Speaker 2:It's a rest day today.
Speaker 1:And you're also on tour.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, got shows up and down the country and, yeah, just forever growing and seeing where it leads, hitting different areas, different venues.
Speaker 1:So I recently saw your show in London in Leicester Square. Yes, what was that experience like for you?
Speaker 2:For me it was phenomenal. If I was to put it into one word, the word would be phenomenal. And I say that because the audience, the, you know, the people, uh, um, you know, it was so well received and I just yeah, yeah, it was just a great evening all around and thank you to everybody that came along, including yourself, um I had a very eclectic group with me, so yeah, yeah, but um, yeah, it was just great and I just felt it was well received and really appreciated.
Speaker 2:I touched a lot of people in that noise, and not only the people that was read for, but I believe the people that weren't read for actually took something away from it as well. Something away from it as well, um, which is kind of like what I always trying to, what I always advise or want people to kind of do is, you know, even if you're not read for in an audience, love show, but at least to take away that, that experience, and you know we'll take something away from it of course, and, um, that's one thing that sort of happens.
Speaker 1:I think it's probably a common thing, is there's probably always that one person happens. I think it's probably a common thing is there's probably always that one person that's so desperate to have a reading and it doesn't happen. But I have to say I kind of hung around afterwards and I was able to listen to the different conversations in the room and they're all very positive and everyone was really impressed. And uh, like you said, the people that didn't actually have a personal reading, they took a message from everything that you said. The people that didn't actually have a personal reading, they took a message from everything that you said.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and that's what I love, and that's that's what I love about the work that I do, especially being on a live show. I clearly can't, you know, when there's hundreds, 200, whatever amount of people in a room, there's no way I can reach every single person. But what I hope to do is that the people who are not read for still take something away from me. And I remember I did a show in um down south it was Exmouth or Eastbourne, I can't recall which show and I remember at the end I was doing the meeting, great, you know. So everybody gets the opportunity to say hello to me, everybody, like one person.
Speaker 2:At every live show that I do, I try and do a competition where they get the chance to have a free reading. We do that at Random Draw and this guy, anyway, come to meet me and he went Young Glad, and I remember him saying Young Glad, by the way, kevin, so I'm not just saying that. He said Young Glad. He said he says you have just wiped out my 50-year belief system in one night night. He said I need to go home and digest what you've just done. He said I wasn't read for. He said but whatever you've got, you've got it. And he said I don't know what it is. And he said but you've got it, and it was such kind words.
Speaker 2:And I'm reaching a lot more male audience as well. Kevin, you know a lot more and I love the fact that men are now starting to become more comfortable to approach me to, to come to these kind of shows, because I think that the word psychic and this work does have its kind of stigma if that's the word that we want to use attached to it, and I just feel that it's broadening out now to a bigger audience, um, you know, and people who like what you just said, who are not. Even if people are not like, okay, I don't want to be read for, but I want to see what it's all about, and I think that's really good as well, because I think that they do take a lot from it as well definitely, and and just talking about men coming to the show, because men are probably the ones that don't want to talk about their feelings.
Speaker 1:So if you hit something, they're going to feel it. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, if you was at the London show, Kevin, you'll recall the guy that was sceptical. I remember he actually got a reading.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 2:And I was like, oh so you're the sceptical guy. And he was like, yeah, and then I said I think it was Mark and all this, and he was just like like looking at me, like how on earth does he know these, you know, but it was so open and that's what I mean about the whole audience in general was just so open that it was just a lovely, lovely vibe and I can't wait to be back in London, you know.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I love the energy about you during the show because it's a very fast-paced show. You speak very quickly when you're receiving messages and you're very direct with the people in the audience as well, and I love that because it's like it sets everyone at ease in a way, and I know you apologize and you're like sorry, I'm not coming across as being rude, but because you're direct with them. But being sat in the audience it sort of puts you at ease because it makes you feel like you're the one in control and if you're having the message read, you're not feeling that pressure of having to explain yourself because you tell them not to explain themselves.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, and there's things that you know. There's a few things that I can add to that, kevin, is that when I do a live show, for example, a private reading, and we want to hear from that one person, and I explained at the show about how we want to hear from the one person and whoever it may be, and then what we have a tendency of doing is, because we're so desperate at times to hear from that person, we will make, we will move the earth to make. Yeah, that fits there. I'm saying bob, but you're like no, that's mary, I know it's mary, I know it's mary and that's why I'm so particular of like, be quiet, shut up, don't tell me, I'm not being rude, it's because I want, I want the information to come from the way I'm seeing it, not the way that you would like it to be, because there's going to be a deeper reason for that as well. And, um, yeah, and I just love people to know what I love to do.
Speaker 2:Kevin, prime example is maybe yourself got the same experience and maybe that guy that I was talking about, uh, two minutes ago, where, even if you're not grateful, and I'm telling people to be quiet and, look, I'm not allowing people to even look. Megan always says to me look, dave, you are not giving people a chance to answer. I said, but I don't need them to, and I know I don't mean it rude. All I need is a simple yes, no, whatever, let's move on. I and the thing is, kevin, I love, I'm so compassionate about this work and I'm very passionate about the work as well. And um, the one thing is, when I'm on that stage or when I'm doing a private reading or a group reading, it's not about me.
Speaker 2:I explained the story about my ego, how I learned that valuable lesson in my love show and it's the. It's the same now that when I do this work, it's not about me. Like, oh my, can you believe? I said that. Oh, you know, let's stroke his ego. No, it's like I've said it, let's move on. And trust me, kevin, information comes through that fast. I don't get time to breathe, and you saw that for yourself as well which is good.
Speaker 1:I did, I definitely did. And how do you shut that off in your everyday life?
Speaker 2:Through meditation and prayer. And so, for example, kevin, if you in your house, in your home, you turn the light on to go to a room, if you go to the bathroom, but you turn the light off, why do you turn the light off? Because it burns electricity, it that the bulb's going to drain. So you've got to be professional, you've got to turn it on, turn it off and know when to do it, when's the right time to open up. There might be times when, if I know somebody's open to this work, I might get a sense of something instantly. I might be like oh, I'm seeing a little bit of like there's a little bit of a warning sign here, or there's a little bit of something. As long as that person's open to me, then I kind of just I'll let you know that little bit of a snippet, but apart from that, I'll keep it. I'll keep it where it needs to be and I'll keep myself very well protected.
Speaker 1:You have to that was that's one of my questions is out in your day-to-day life. If you're at waitrose and you walk past a woman and you suddenly have the urge to tell her something, is that something you would do?
Speaker 2:no, it's not um, because I'm going to contradict myself here, so just bear with me, let me just explain this.
Speaker 2:Um, I went to morrison's first things first. No, I don't let me just answer that part of the question. No, and the reason being is because I don't want to invade somebody else's privacy. So, for example, somebody's lost their mom, dad, nan, granddad, whoever it may be. They might be in a serious place of grief. You don't know what position of grief they're, at, what stage they're at. So, if they know, we go open, like, oh, by the way, they might be like you know, um, or it could be the other side that, like they have lost a dad, but they've just recently lost the mom. They want to hear from them. And then you, and then you talk about the dad. You're like, oh, your dad, you'll then leave them like, well, why didn't my mum say that?
Speaker 2:And I always explain this when people come to me for a private reading, we sit down, we talk about what's going to happen before we even dive into it, and I make sure that they're in the right place, because there's been numerous times where I've actually said to clients like now's not the right time, you're not in the right place, have a refund, come back to see me when, when the time's right. And I think for yourself and all your listeners. Grief is the hardest thing that we have to deal with while we're here, and it's all about making sure that you're in the right place, you're prepared to go for reading, because you just never know who's going to come through and then, well, the reason I said about contradicting myself, kevin, is I was walking around morrisons now, um, when I first began this in the black country from the accent, clearly I'm from the black country and, uh, when I started this journey and it was like mom's friends, and then it was like mom's friend of friends, and then it was friends and it started to friend, and then it was friends and it started to grow. This one time I've never felt it. I may have felt it a couple of times, but I've just always, like I said, never again.
Speaker 2:I was walking around Morrison's and I remember this lady. She was by the magazine aisle, I'll never forget it and I walked past her and I had this urge of like I'm being pulled to the lady. When I say being pulled, you know, know what I mean. What do?
Speaker 2:you mean the show, I get pulled to an area, okay.
Speaker 2:I'll get that same intuitive. So I was pulled to this lady and I was like, really, and it was like it was like I need to speak to this lady. And then, the closer I got, I was like a mom's past and mom's okay, mom's. And he was just this constant feeling and I remember I think I like accidentally, on purpose, like nudged this way or did something to get her attention. I went, I'm so sorry. And she just looked at me and you know, when I say in an audience, kevin, like can you, can you just say a word? I always had somebody just speaking to the microphone so I can hear your voice. That triggers to me like yeah, I'm there, or I'm a little bit unsure. And that's what I got from this lady. I was like, yeah, this. And I just said I've got a mom energy coming through. Sorry, the mom's past all grown, it feels more mom and she's telling me to tell you that she's okay, but that's all I've got. And I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2:I do readings, I've never done this before. And this lady tears just coming to her eyes and she says you have just saved my life. And I was like what? And she said my mom's just passed to cancer and she says, and before she passed I said just give me a sign that you're okay. She went, that's all I want is just to know you're okay. And that was the words I used and like I didn't get a name or anything, she just said thank you and walked off.
Speaker 2:I think she was just full of emotion and she just walked off and I just kind of like stood there and had all these like did I do the right thing and whatever else, but the fact that she said I saved her life, I just felt like that's the reason. But that's the only time of it and I just wouldn't do it again, kevin. I think it's just a little bit unprofessional. Um, and again, you know, I've got to think, but there's got to be a reason why that particular day it was like, say, do it, move on. Um, you know, but yeah and you'll always remember that.
Speaker 1:Most definitely amazing. Let's go into the moment. You were hit by a car. Yeah, were you 14?
Speaker 2:yes, yes, I was tell me about that oh, still quite raw even now and I'm 38, 39 this month. Me, my best friend from school. We was walking to town, which was a couple of mile away. Walking to town and on the way back, um, I crossed over by the black country Museum and there was a big Arctic like parked on the dual carriageway and when I've looked, there weren't no cars there. But what I didn't see was beyond this Arctic, was a speeding car.
Speaker 2:Well, and I say speeding, they owned up to the fact that I was going above 40. I think they said there was going 50 and the police said whenever somebody admitted them going over, you can normally add like 10 to 15 mile an hour extra. On top, and he just come back from hospital himself. He's glad he got a patch on his eye. So, anyway, I've come out in front of this van, the cars hit me and my best friend said it was like watching a bouncing ball just bounce all out of the place. He says you bounced off the windscreen, the bonnet hit your head off the floor and he said I just thought of just watching my best friend die and, um, I have no recollection of it. I just remember the tap on my leg and I was gone, I was knocked out, um I I try not to dramatize the subject, the work that I do and I think you've got that from the show as well and I hope all your listeners kind of get the gist of that so.
Speaker 2:So I'll try not to dramatize it, cause I think there's a lot of that that goes on, especially on Tik TOK. Like, go off to Tik TOK if you want dramatize it, anyway. So I always still, to this day so, this vision of I remember seeing the floor myself, everything. It was like a, and it was just this moment I, the floor myself, everything. It was like, uh, and it was just this moment. I had no arms or legs, it was just this scene and uh, I just had this like flash of this energy of like now's not your time. I didn't see anybody, I did it. I didn't get, you know there's no, no, all I got was that it's now is not your time. And I remember waking up.
Speaker 2:And the ironic thing about this is where I got hit by the car. My dad was working on the roads and my dad, um, always used to work away a lot and he'd work all up and down the country and everything. And this particular day he was working on the street next to where I got hit. So my bed like I got hit here and my best friend run down the road and my dad was there and like it was just, and my best friend run down the road and tell my dad was there and like it was just. Yeah, and I truthfully think that's what opened me up to this work. I really do. I think that's what was the start of it, um, opening me, opening me up to this work. And then a few other things happened in place to get my attention. Yeah, that was the car accident and I think that's what opened me up. So, after this, um, life carried on as normal.
Speaker 2:I got up at the hospital the same day. The doctors just said like we can't believe that you're walking out of here, like you know, with a broken toe. All I complained about was my toe, nothing else. I had a few minor scratches, um, I've got I chipped my elbow. I had a few cuts on my head, um, a dent in my knee. My knees got a dent. So where the bone didn't break, it bent and they was at one point going to pin it and everything else. But then they said it might cause me more issues further down the line. So they just said it's not worth messing with. So they said they was going to look at putting pins in and whatever else. But, like I said, they just said it weren't worthy. And anyway, a couple of years passed and I was always intrigued by the work tarot cards, angel cards, you know, spiritual work.
Speaker 2:To me back then. It was more about tarot cards and my mom used to do them, but only for herself and maybe a couple of friends. It was nothing deep. And I remember my mom for the first time, let me go with her to a psychic fair. And this lady said give me this reading. And she said look, dave, you're going to help people all around the world. And at this point, kevin, I was like hang on a minute, are you trying to get me some part of some witch cult? I went to this place of like what's this that you're talking about? And my head went to that place of like I'm going to do this. And back then as well, kevin, there was no look. I don't even think MySpace was a thing, so there was no look. Facebook.
Speaker 2:So, how are you going to reach around the world? And I thought you'd have to be on TV or ITV or the Sky TV, and I kind of pushed it off. And then I saw another lady not so long after same things again, and then another lady. And then I went back to my mom after the third lady and said mom, and then I ended up reading from my mom. And the funny thing is I sat there and read from my mom and I was like I felt this energy and do you know?
Speaker 2:when you've, um, you see somebody down the street and you're like I know the face but I can't remember the name, and you have that awkward moment of like hello. I went back to my mom and when I was reading from my mom, I said I felt this energy before. And she says how? And this was her mom that was coming through. And it turned out that the same energy that I felt was the energy that I felt when I got here by the car. So it was her mom that I feel was there and protected me that day.
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 2:So yeah.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then yeah, it just grew from there, really.
Speaker 1:In your show you say you see symbols. So how did you learn what each symbol means to you? Or is that a natural thing that just happened?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's just a natural thing. That happened and it still happens to this day. Like I'm forever learning, we're always learning. And so, for example, I could say bananas for you, kevin, and then the symbol for that could be does that mean Kevin loves him, does he not so? And then I try and symbolize how do I feel about the bananas? What's my intuition telling me about that? But from experience now, because when you do in and out daily and so often, you build a relationship of understanding what each thing means. So that's why I'm a lot more fluent.
Speaker 2:I was reading for um a lady and I kept seeing giraffes and the feeling I got, kevin, was thank you, thank you for the drafts. So this gratitude feeling. I was like there's no way, you've just brought a giraffe. So I remember saying to the lady I said are you going to the zoo? She went no, safari, no, a farm, no, dave, what do you keep asking me about animals? And I said because your mom's trying to say thank you for the drafts and obviously you haven't just purchased a draft she started crying and she went no, but what? I have just purchased a vases with giraffes. On that my mom wanted to purchase before she passed but she never got ready to get in them. So she said the other week I brought them in remembrance for my mom. So her it was symbolically her mom's way of like thank you for the drafts, thank you for the wazis. So not everything might not be as pinpoint accurate as what you would want it to be, but you should understand the information being given wow.
Speaker 1:So some people might say so let's get into like people who are skeptic. So some people might say why doesn't my loved one just come out and ask the question or tell me the direct message? Why are they giving symbols?
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay. So you're asking why they don't yeah.
Speaker 1:So if someone asked you that question, how would you answer that?
Speaker 2:Well, I can only go for what I receive in terms of the information. Let's think of it like a download, and it's really strange because it don't work both ways. Sometimes it can, and the reason I don't like it too is because we then stop putting our logical brain into it of like, what would we want the answer to be, what would, and then it becomes a me thing instead of a you thing, and then that's the part that I don't like. So that's why I'm so. Oh, and also, I think people need to get this kind of image at their head of thing of remembering that when we pass, we don't take the body with us we have. We don't take the eyes with us, we don't take the senses with us. It's a, it's a continuation of the conscious mind. So it's, it's something a lot more deeper than just oh, well, they're past, and I think, through dramatization over years and everything else, that's what people feel, the way that they do. So, yeah, I hope that kind of answers that yeah, um, it certainly does so.
Speaker 1:If, so, you do private readings. How do you deal with somebody that comes in that's a skeptic and they come in with the attitude this is crazy, you're not going to tell me anything that's relevant. If they just come in with a negative attitude, how does that work?
Speaker 2:Well, it doesn't really bother me, kevin, and I know that sounds really rude, but that they're not going to be as skeptical as what I am on myself, in terms of, like, that's my job to kind of be that way and and because you've seen the live show, I can speak more freely about about it, because you understand it more.
Speaker 2:Um, when people come with a skeptical mindset, I always say it to be skeptical is actually a good thing, because if you're so open to whatever anybody says, anybody in the world can say something to you. Um, so I always say go in there with a little bit of a skepticism, skeptical mindset. And going back to what you were saying about their attitude of blah, blah, blah, I will literally cut you off. I will say no, and the reason being is because it doesn't matter what you're not here to have a reason or get the comfort that I'm trying to provide, or you're not interested in that. You're trying to debunk me and by doing that you're just wasting my time. So I haven't got the time for it. So there's a difference between being skeptical and rude bad manners, manners don't cost to think.
Speaker 2:So I just think, um, like if I get that vote from you that you're just being awkward, then I will just say like, let's just leave it to that and find somebody else that it's more suited for you. And, and you know, and there is times even for the people that I'm open, I haven't got a connection, I'm like, you know, I'm, I'm struggling Like I'm really, you know, for reason, and I always advise you can either postpone the session or go and take another professional um, you know, so yeah, yeah, how?
Speaker 1:how does your psychic abilities? How does it affect your, your personal life, or does it?
Speaker 2:um it, yeah, it does, to be honest. And me making again my fiance was talking about this the other day I'm an, I'm a nightmare for one positive thinking. I don't allow negativity. Like you know, if I, if I say a negative, I would try my utmost best to okay glass half full. And you know what's the universe trying to teach me from this? Not why me I'm like, okay, this is bad, this is tough, but what do I need to learn from it. But then also, I'm an absolute nightmare, kevin, for, like, when we're doing, when we're on a journey for something, there's the beginning, the middle, the end. With me, we're at the beginning but I'm already at. So think of it like letters A, b, c. We're at A but I'm already at C, like I know where this is going. The trouble is oh, kevin, I don't go through B and this is where like.
Speaker 2:Intuitively, I know where it's going to be. But sometimes it's like you can have that intuition, you can have the ability of like okay, I know this is going to happen, or I have this feeling of like this is the right thing. But then you've got to go through the. You know you've got to go through the. You know you've got to go through the slow process. You've got to go through the, the build in the foundation. You've got to go through the shit.
Speaker 2:Sorry for my language but you've got to go through these things to build and prepare you. And sometimes where I struggle is that I'm already at c, like I don't want to do b. You know, and it's like in my head, but then the reality I'm like and that's where megan, I'll be like Dave and we always joke about. Now she's like Dave, you're skipping B, you're skipping B, and that goes for anybody who's very, very intuitive will get frustrated when things don't go the way because they know that's where they should be or what they should be doing. But then it's like they're skipping at B and that's where the ability that I've got, kind of you know not getting the kind of you know, not getting in the way, but just you know I'll skip B. I hope that analogy helps anyway.
Speaker 1:Yeah, do you give messages to your family members?
Speaker 2:I've read for my mum, I've read for my sister, and apart from that, not really. And the reason being is because I'd rather them see someone else, because I like a blank canvas, like, if you come to see me, I want to be the artist, I don't want a canvas. There are already no elements, because then again your logical brain starts kicking in. You, you, you know what, because you know that person, you, you want to be like. I'll say this now again if I see a warning sign, if I see something, um, you know, I mean, if you're okay with me saying just before we began this podcast, yeah that's something that I was like kevin did it yeah
Speaker 2:and um. So that's what it's like for me. If I sense that, if I feel that, then yeah. But my family now have just learned, especially my mom. She's learned now that Dave will do whatever Dave wants to do, good or bad, it doesn't matter what advice she gives me, and I love my mom and my parents and my family to bits. But they all know now that there's no point because Dave's just gonna look. And the other thing as well I want to learn from my own mistakes. So if someone says to me you can't do that, okay. Well, if I can't, then I'll find out my own way. So then at least I can say I've tried. So I always advise people and if anybody's listening now, kevin, I want them to. You know, if there's something that a goal, the dream, anything at all, like nothing's impossible, and just just get your head down and just do it and don't allow everybody else level of thinking like stop you from where you want to be and even if you fail, it doesn't matter, because you never lose, you learn.
Speaker 1:So you know there's going to be things that you're probably being pulled to that because there might be something you've got to learn from that mistake for you then to be like oh okay, no, you know I love that, and and you always end your show on a positive note as well, with a little bit of meditation and, and just as I say that, I don't want people to think, oh, that's a bit strange, because it's a positive message that you give the audience, uh, to finalize the show, and I think that's what puts everybody at ease, and but is it also a way for yourself to leave the show at ease?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah, and bring everybody back down. And also one I like to help as many people as I can, so if I can't reach them all, I'll find another way to reach everybody in that room. The breathing technique is just a simple thing that I implement so that when people do leave, if they are having a bit of road rage, they can go. Oh, I remember david's show. I'm meant to do the breathing technique, but also I think it brings everybody together and I also I care so much about the people that I've been read for they're going to be up in their heads like they're gonna. There's a lot like to take on and I think, unless you experience it yourself, it's hard to put into words, like because you know, this isn't like me saying, oh, your mom loves you, your dad loves you. It's the nitty-gritty, it's the deep stuff that we talk about, that gets people's attention and then, and then you know.
Speaker 1:So it's just a good way just to bring it down and help everybody on their path I love how you're very real about that person as well, because you'll just come out and say something about their personality that some people would be like holy shit, I can't believe. You just described my mom in that way, because it's so true, but no one would ever say it. Yeah, but you say it and I think that that's something that makes it real for the person who's receiving that message well, that's nice to hear.
Speaker 2:That's nice to hear, because sometimes I do feel that can I be? Do I come across rude? Or do I come across, you know, too blunt? Do I come across, you know, with my directness? But then one, I just can't help who I am like and if you just give me the chance to get to know me, I'm not a nasty person or I'm not. You know, I wish everybody well. You know I'm very compassionate about this work.
Speaker 2:But again, when I explain the story of how my ego which we haven't got time to talk about now, you know, when I tell people about that value, when I had that reading with that lady and all the rest, it taught me a valuable lesson and again, it's about the lessons that we need to learn. So from that experience, if that hadn't have happened, I think I'd have always stayed on this path of, like the ego, like, oh, look at me, like you know, but from that experience, I had to be that lady. It was like actually, um, you know, and the universe taught me thick and fast, like I was just starting to, and I was like, yeah, just starting out. And I was like, yeah, bring it in.
Speaker 1:You know, and I have done ever since it's amazing do you get nervous when you know that there are people in the audience that you're close to?
Speaker 2:Kevin, I get nervous doing this. Kevin, I'm a nerd. Look, seriously. Look, kevin, honestly I'm a nervous. It doesn't one-to-one. A group reading, a love show. Oh my goodness, kevin, I'm a nerves. Honestly. I fought against it because I think I'm here for a greater purpose and I'll go against my own kind of how I feel, because a lot of it can be ego driven, because you're you're concerned about how you look, how you are. So it's kind of like, yes, I'm nervous, but I just learned to like we've got to push that to the side and I've got to allow. I'm just the conduit of information and you know, once I do begin and everything else, and yeah, the nerves get obviously clear and stuff. But yeah, the audience in London was amazing.
Speaker 1:It was a great show.
Speaker 2:Well, thank you for saying that. And you know, and I think that that helps massively as well with the, with the nerves and stuff, because if you get an audience that's like really not interested, it's, it's like you know how you were saying about people that are skeptical and you get kind of. You know, I did a show, for example, a couple of months ago, and one lady sent me the whole room. The energy was a little bit depleted and I think there was a lot going on beyond the scenes for me. I literally had like a massive like anxiety, panic attack, not sure what it was, but I just oh, asthma attacks and I was like I just couldn't and I literally, as I'm about to go out, I, when the video, the, the introduction, the introductions playing, I was like beyond, started nearly being sick, and then I've come out on, I was, but I was like I need to put that to one side because I'm here to do something.
Speaker 2:Um, and then one lady sent me some horrible or one guy, whoever it was, sent me some horrible messages. Um, you know, but that was just coming from an ego point of view of like, I've seen so much better. Well, you're just trying to promote someone else. You're just trying to be someone else. You're just trying to be egotistical, like, oh, my friend's better than you, and and you know like seriously you know one thing you do that's different to most people.
Speaker 1:You do sort of the meet and greet afterwards, and I think that's quite brave because that's when you could come into contact with those people that felt they had a negative experience.
Speaker 2:And so how do you deal with that? If someone comes up to you and says something negative about the show, don't know, it's never really. You know, a lot of the time you'll be surprised that not many people actually say it to your face there, and then It'll be after you've gone or after you'll get a message on social media or after you'll get it. But it's very rare and if I do, I always, I always say somebody's really ate up about something. I just say to them like look, now's not the right time, message me direct. I know who you now are and we can talk about it. Like I'm willing to give you the like half an hour more time, even if it's just to talk, not because for a reason or anything, but just to to put you at ease and understand it more.
Speaker 2:When you're in that like there's a big room and then also you know for every couple of people that might think, oh, it's not what I expected or I didn't enjoy it, the others did, so then it's kind of like I have to be careful to make sure that nobody because I have, like the most amazing followers, kevin Like, honestly, like. So thank you to all my followers, all thank you to the people that have been on this journey with me and helped me get to where I am today. So far, and um, you know and and I don't want to cause any clashes like because you know and and so I just have to read the. I just have to feel the energy of like come and speak to me after, so yeah.
Speaker 1:Being a part of the audience is also like for myself, I have to admit. I sat there and sort of sat towards the back and I was like, oh my gosh, if he comes towards me, it like makes your heart beat a little bit faster. But I had a friend with me who has a very large personality and she actually sat at the very, very back and she was like I hope he doesn't come near me, like she was totally afraid of that. She loved the show and loved being there, but she was afraid of of a message, any message that would come to her, and I thought that was really interesting because if you spend time with her, her personality is larger than life. But when you come down to those personal things, people can shut down, and so I guess my question is if you're receiving a message and you look at the person and you know who's getting that message and you feel like they don't want to receive that message, what would you do?
Speaker 2:This has happened a couple of times. I've had people come and speak to me backstage. I've told them like I need to come and speak to you after, and a lot of the times and I probably said it at London, I can't recall but I should normally say am I okay to dive a little bit deeper here? I ask for their permission. If I feel that there's something that they wouldn't want to share and it's quite delicate, then I'll try and cite in like a roundabout way just to ease them into.
Speaker 1:like I know where you're going with this I think you sort of did that as well during the show a couple times, yeah yeah, yeah, I do recall, I do recall, I remember that one lady be really emotional yeah, I'll give a little hug too.
Speaker 2:And like I say, though, kevin, the work's not about me and I don't care about. Just because I'm up on stage doesn't mean that I'm any better than anybody you know, yeah, do you.
Speaker 1:Would you give a negative message to somebody?
Speaker 2:now somebody else asked me this before like, but I don't deal with negativity because then again, it's just the ego, isn't? It's like oh yeah, look look at me, I'll just say the way it is. Oh, I see a death in the family, or I see this and no, I just don't. And and if I see uh answering your question of like, if I say anything negative, think of I remember going for a reading with a lady and the lady said to me oh, this is when I'd like 16, 17, a different lady, or well, now, actually I'd started doing readings at this point. So she was about I was about 20 and I went to this lady. Everybody was like talking about it around the area, saying how good she was. She was like oh, I see something really bad happening this year. I am then like on the edge of my seat. Well, what Like you?
Speaker 2:know, I don't know where, why and when, but there's going to be something negative, just like A4 this year. So I was like, well, that's great, you know. So for that year, I remember feeling like on edge with everything. I remember thinking like, is this the bad thing? Is this the bad thing? And I always swore that I'd never leave somebody the way she left me.
Speaker 2:So if I see something negative, kevin, if I feel something quite negative, then what I'll do is, if I don't know where to place it, it's a bit like me being your sat-nav and leading you to a closed road. You don't want to know about the closed road, you want to know where the diversion is and that's where I'll help you. So, yeah, if I say something negative, I'll try and say it in a roundabout way, but give you the guidance that I feel that you need. Connected to that and I think a lot of that come up as well Kevin is thinking like families weren't speaking or something. There's like a lot of you know, and I always say to people deal with this how you want to deal with it, because you're here, not me, but I'm giving you the tools so that you're more prepared that when that does happen, it helps.
Speaker 1:Sure Cause, that must be, that, that must be a horrible thing. And you also hear a lot of negative stories where people say that I've gone and had this reading and they've told me this, and, and they wait for the day and they wait for like they're just so specific about things. And I was speaking to her.
Speaker 2:Sorry, sorry. I was just just gonna say that's all ego driven from the it is, I just don't know if you think about it from the reader's point of view. That's just them trying to look like oh look, I told you that was gonna happen. And look at me, look at me, look at me.
Speaker 1:And they're not caring about the client in front of them I was speaking to a friend today and she said oh, I went to see a psychic um once my father passed away and she told me something about a white house and I was going to see this and it was going to mean this. And she's like I looked for it for a year, nothing ever happened. And she's, but it plays on your mind because you're waiting for that to happen.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But don't get me wrong. There might be things that I say symbolically that you know, but a negative connotation instantly, because my job whether it comes to me a lot of show, probably more job is for me to leave you better than when I found you. So I'm not doing that if I'm sending you down the road. Closure.
Speaker 1:I think everyone leaves your show smiling and feeling positive.
Speaker 2:I hope so, I hope so.
Speaker 1:I felt that, leaving the show in London, I felt everybody left very positive. Everybody was, and people are talking to each other, whether they strained in London that doesn't happen and so, um, everyone's kind of out chatting and, uh, in that queue for your meet and greet, which they love. I think that's a great little touch and uh, yeah, everyone just sort of left positive, and I know my group did and we left. We went to a pub afterwards and it was like the top of topic of conversation and everybody was like, oh, this story was amazing. And when he touched on this and and I think if every group leaves feeling that way, that's something magical oh, thank you for such kind words.
Speaker 2:Well, that's what all I can hope for and that's all I want to achieve.
Speaker 1:So you know and it's a great show. So and you're currently on tour, so anybody who's listening that says, oh, I missed that show. Check him out online and buy a ticket, because you will not be sorry that you did that. Oh, thank you, kevin. Thank you, it's really a great experience. I was really impressed Going into it. I was like everybody else, where you're like, oh, what is this going to be like? Because we've all experienced the negative. We've all had the negative experience. So, no, it was very positive for everybody. And in the group that I was just my group there were a couple of people that were like, I'm not too sure I'm going to like this, but we all left feeling the same way. So, thank you, thank you. So that was great. So check out his website and go see his show. Yeah, I like to end my little conversation with a few quick fire questions. They're just fun and it's just a great way to end the conversation, so let's just move right into it. What are you most excited about at the moment?
Speaker 2:Oh, we get married in August, so the wedding very nice.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, very nice. If you could spend one day in someone else's shoes, who would it be? John edward I love john edward. Yeah, what does success mean to you?
Speaker 2:achievingieving what your dreams and goals are. Doing something that you've always wanted to do, or achieving something that you've done, not what other people or and I'm not talking fame, fortune or anything like that. I'm talking about things that you want to do for yourself. This, to me, is an achievement. Being on this podcast with you is an achievement. That like being on this podcast for you, it it's, you know, but doing the small like there's. There's so many, um, but it's what feels right for you in your heart nice.
Speaker 1:Describe yourself in three words fun, loving, caring beautiful. What are you most afraid of?
Speaker 2:um, when you say this, though, you're talking like anything on spiders um and then getting up on stage or doing readings and I'm teasing, yes, but if that's the kind of anything, yeah, okay, your favorite number five.
Speaker 1:Why is it five?
Speaker 2:Because everything in my life is associated with the number five.
Speaker 1:So yeah, who inspires you?
Speaker 2:Parents.
Speaker 1:What is one piece of advice you'd give your younger self?
Speaker 2:Don't quit and don't listen to other people and do what's right for you and also don't be well. I'd say people and do what's right for you and also don't be well. I'd say a few things. I do apologize, so don't, don't be afraid of losing people along the way, in terms of not not like losing them, passing over, but just where you change, it's okay if your life was a story, what would it be?
Speaker 1:what would be the story?
Speaker 2:guy who helps millions of people and brings comfort to many people in different ways, not just from readings, just from the meditations, from healing as many people as I can. That's what I'd love my story to be.
Speaker 1:Name the first word that comes to your mind.
Speaker 2:The first word that comes to my mind. I actually saw my name, david. Is that bad?
Speaker 1:that's really strange what time of day are you most? Inspired?
Speaker 2:uh, oh no, all day, like seriously, like I'm just 24 7 in in terms of when I work really hard to achieve, like I was saying to you a little bit to get those. I always say to people if you want to win the lottery, you've got to get off your backside and buy a ticket, otherwise you're not going to win the lottery. So that's it, literally. First thing in the morning I'll be thinking of ideas and very creative.
Speaker 1:Who's the person you talk to when you need a listening ear?
Speaker 2:My fiancée Megan.
Speaker 1:Do you believe in zodiac signs?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but on a deeper level, through astrology. So birth charts and all the rest of it.
Speaker 1:Sunrise or sunset, sunrise what makes you laugh?
Speaker 2:Kevin Hart comedians, good comedians, good comedians, don't go too deep or disrespectful.
Speaker 1:If you could teleport, where would you go?
Speaker 2:Oh, New York or Australia.
Speaker 1:What object do you lose the most?
Speaker 2:You're not going to believe like seriously. Maybe my keys maybe, but I'm so like everything's got into place. Like seriously, I'm very structured.
Speaker 1:If you could make one wish come true right now, what would it be?
Speaker 2:Heal the world of cancer.
Speaker 1:Where is your happy place?
Speaker 2:With my fiance and when she's singing.
Speaker 1:She's great. That's beautiful. What's your favorite word?
Speaker 2:Probably truth. I want people to speak the truths and just be truthful to yourself, be truthful to other people. So potentially true.
Speaker 1:Last question Can you feel colors? Yes, and how does that work?
Speaker 2:So every color, whatever I seal, it's got like a vibration to it, like everything's got a vibration. And you know, our aura is different colors and the chakras are different colors and that's why sometimes you'll be drawn to. So I say to people if you feel drawn to something or you're feeling in a certain way, just have a quick Google of what your chakras are and then just see which one is it's associated with, and you might find that like, oh, that's associated with that color, which then, in return, you'll then think that's why I'm wearing a lot of that color recently, or that's why I'm wearing, and subconsciously you wear these things and, um, you know you don't realize why, but then when you, when you look into your chakras, that makes total sense why should somebody buy a ticket and go see your show?
Speaker 2:Because it's an experience that I think they will walk away from, whether they're read for or not, which we've touched base on and give them, bring them uplift, comfort and hopefully make them aware that there's something more than the physical bodies.
Speaker 1:I loved our conversation. Thank you for joining me even though you're unwell. Yes, thank you On a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2:Yes, no, I really appreciate you and your time as well, and thank you for giving me your time as well. It's been fabulous. The quick-fire questions really have caught me off guard. So, yeah, but no, it's been wonderful, thank you so much. Fabulous. The quick follow questions really have caught me off guard. So, um, yeah, but no, it's been wonderful. Thank you so much amazing, thank you.
