Speaker 1: Failing Hot Seat. Welcome to the hot Seat. Full name

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: You can include middle if you want to. Some people do,

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: some people don't.

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: Jonathan Peas, but most people call me JP.

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: I feel like I know you as JP. Yeah, it

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: most feels weird.

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: Most people do. I abbreviated many years ago, and it's

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: it's stuck.

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite city?

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 2: Oh, gosh, I love travel so much.

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 3: You know what, I probably have to say New York

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: because I lived there for ten years. I really feel

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: like I found my people when I arrived in New York.

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: So New York, but I'm so conflicted. I mean, you

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: know Mumbai where I met my wife love. Yeah, so

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: she was living there. That's an incredible story. But yeah,

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 3: it was amazing. So I have a really deep connection

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: with India I love. I mean all parts of Brazil,

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: Rio especially we actually got engaged in Brazil. I mean

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: so many places, but looky, i'd say, like to pick one,

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: I would say New York.

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the energy a lot.

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: Pretty is your choice.

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's incredible. Okay, so this is going to be hard.

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: Nature spot, Okay, nature spot.

32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: Wow. You know what I would say, Guazu Falls in Brazil,

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: which is where I asked my wife to marry me.

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: Really, it's an incredible place and it's like the lesser

35
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: known incredible falls.

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: Good know what I mean.

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously a lot of people know what Aguazi Falls is,

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: but it's just not one of the absolute waterfalls that

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: everyone talks about.

40
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: It's mind blowing.

41
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: All so much power and energy there, and yeah, so

42
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: much so that I thought i'd ask Mad to marry

43
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: me there.

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: One of my first memories of you and Mad's is Africa.

45
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: I think you to Africa. It's a farih. That's my

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: bucket list as well. Okay, if you could have a superpower,

47
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: what would it be?

48
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: So funny?

49
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: I was playing this with my kids just last night.

50
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: Superpower kids say, oh god, I won't tell you what

51
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: ocean said, but she's a bit of a rebel.

52
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: What did Kingston say? I think he said speak to animals.

53
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: He's an animals person. Would Yeah, mine's teleportation.

54
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: I want to be in wherever I want to be

56
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 2: when I want to be there.

57
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: So I'd love to be able to teleport around, spend

58
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 3: an afternoon in New York, then go to you know,

59
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: Narongo creator in Africa, and then pop over to whatever

60
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: Glazi falls. That'd be lovely, just to telephone.

61
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's a fair that's a superpower. Do you

62
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: have any fears?

63
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: I do many, probably fear of flying.

64
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: I'm not a massive flying person, which is considering I've done, yeah,

65
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: some serious travel miles. So yeah, I'm not in love

66
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: with flying. I've actually gotten better recently, funnily enough. I

67
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: don't know why, but yeah, for a period I was

68
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: really nervous about it.

69
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's a control thing.

70
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, did it flick over? What was there something

71
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: that made it? Yeah?

72
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: Traveling with my kids funnily enough? Really Yeah, Yeah, I

73
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: don't know, man, They just you know, just watching Kingston,

74
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: especially my oldest child, you know, just just watching his

75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: vibe on the plane. I was like, come on, you know,

76
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 3: what are you worried about? And so it's really sort

77
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: of dissolved. Yeah, but yeah, for a period that was

78
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: probably my biggest fear.

79
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and super common, that's not yeah, yeah, do you

80
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: have a song that you can always go back to?

81
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: Music is such a hard one for people. Oh god,

82
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: no bad answers, no bad, and it could be banned,

83
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: it bad.

84
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, it's probably it's probably hip hop

85
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: music as a genre. So I was born in the

86
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: hard Knocks of Mossman, which is obviously a joke.

87
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: It's a long way from hard knocks and it's a

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: long way from hip hop.

89
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: But a friend of mine introduced me to hip hop

90
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: music back when I was a you know whatever, a

91
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 3: tween ager, and it's just really stuck with me, and

92
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 3: I love I.

93
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: Love that genre exercising. Yeah, yeah, like I love you know,

94
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: Biggie to jay Z.

95
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, even some of the modern people. So yeah,

96
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: i'd say hip hop is a genre, and that's certainly

97
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: something I go back to. Funnily enough, I was driving

98
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 3: yesterday and I went back and listened to Public Enemies, feeling.

99
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: It's just such a bad Do you ever listen to

100
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: before you go on stage and have a big speaking gig.

101
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: Do you have like a pump up song?

102
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: I don't, Actually I don't. I don't. I have a

103
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: real no distractions yeah.

104
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm actually about quiet place, no small talk,

105
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: you know, no chatting to organizers. And I've had I've

106
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: had a couple of things earlier on in my career

107
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: that went wrong when I did do that.

108
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you've got the chapter. Don't you got death

109
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: to small talk?

110
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? Exactly.

111
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: So I'm quite I'm quite big on less noise, less distraction.

112
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: So no, I don't have a pump up song. And look,

113
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: that's what works for me.

114
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: I'm fairly firing, energetic, so I kind of don't really

115
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: need that. Yeah, and yeah, I find quietness is actually

116
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 3: pretty good for me.

117
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: You know that that tricks something sense? Okay, what about movie?

118

Speaker 2: My god, I'm such a movie head.

144
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: Okay, So for people that didn't listen to the Monday episode,

145
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: go and listen to the Monday episode. Can you just

146
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: give us an elevator pitch about the book The Room.

147
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

148
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: So my belief is absolutely everybody can and should be

149
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 3: a great public speaker in whatever genre that may be

150
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: for them.

151
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: This book is about helping you.

152
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: Unlock what you naturally have, right, It's not about creating

153
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: a different you, creating stuff you don't have. It's about

154
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: synthesizing what you have and getting you to use it

155
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: in the best possible way. So really that's the sort

156
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: of elevator pitch. It's all action orientated, so there's I believe,

157
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: very little theory. It's actually about stuff you can grab

158
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: and use immediately, and it's road tested.

159
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:21,680
