Russell Woo Ran Away to Join the Circus
Manage episode 275404480 series 2794455
Today we talk with Russell Woo, whose creativity and talents often find him airborne as he literally ran away to join the circus. We discover in today's episode that the circus is only the beginning. Yes, he's a talented aerialist who performs breathtaking acrobatics on trapeze and silks streamers high above the stage and you'll learn soon about his plans to play piano and weave tales while both he and the piano are suspended midair. He's also classically trained dancer and pianist, and the piano work during our breaks today is all Russell. He still consults with businesses, but finds a way to use creativity into his work as he uses story telling to help corporations to better understand their various perdicaments. He’s been innovative and has created all his life and although there have been a few fits and starts with striking a balance between a professional and creative life, he's quite adept at grabbing all the strings of and flying - multiple kites.
