On this episode, my guest is Jure Pukl, a world-class saxophone player, improviser, and a truly brilliant musician. I am really fond of him and I really enjoy his sense of humour.
We also share a couple of similarities: we both come from our hometown, Velenje, and we both moved back to Slovenia after years of living abroad.
This episode is about jazz, improvisation, and he will share his hilarious story about his musical upbringing; you have to hear it to believe it. All the way to enjoying life as it is and embracing what it gives you.
He also used an NFT as artwork on one of his recent albums called Melt.
We will also discuss the experience and the importance when people/teachers doubt in you. It is not nice, of course, BUT! I realised I would not change a ‘not nice experience’ for anything, because it gave me a chance to grow stronger from it, and to realise what I really want and make that even more meaningful.
I think one of the problems today is that society is trying to protect and prevent people from ‘not nice’ experiences (parents trying to remove everything unpleasant in their life, or society with its close to paranoid political correctness). I believe we have to be challenged in order to train our mental resilience. I see it like training a sport, body, or craft as artists for that matter. (Of course, as long as it is not life-threatening.)
How can we ever get stronger or wiser if not through a set of challenges in life?

#9 The fruitarian diet, growing your own food and teaching with ANDREJ OFAK | Sound Mind Podcast
On this episode, my guest is Andrej Ofak, a Slovenian guitarist, guitar teacher, and a very good friend of mine. He is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to guitar sound, nutrition, taking care of the soil, and growing your own plants, especially trees. He has been busy for the last two years with growing his own tree garden, which will be counting up to one hundred and twenty newly planted trees this year! He is to me a huge help and inspiration for my own guitar sound and that I sound the way I sound on the stage.He will share his story of how a fruitarian diet saved his life, along with insights on how music and spirituality go hand in hand, his take on teaching, and hacks and tips to improve your micronutrient levels ranging from the use of UVB lights, growing your own micro-greens, and which seeds have the highest levels of Omega-3. As per usual, there will be, as always, a good portion of personal insights and interesting stories. Don’t miss it!
