Lucy Liu
For most people, Lucy Liu needs no introduction; her illustrious film and television career has made her a household name. As the child of Chinese immigrants in New York City, an acting career was not what Lucy was raised to aspire to. It was something that I wanted to do from a very young age but it was definitely not on the radar for a Chinese immigrant family she joked with Deepak Chopra in this show. They were more concerned with education. But after college, Lucy moved back to New York to begin auditioning and focusing on acting. Read more.

Jason Silva
Described by The Atlantic as “part Timothy Leary, part Ray Kurzweil, and part Neo from the Matrix,” Jason Silva is blazing new trails in the ways that people conceive spirituality, technology, and transcendence. During his youth in Caracas, Venezuela, Silva found art and ideas were the only way to distract himself from death, or the impermanence of the human condition. After studying film and philosophy in the University of Miami, he made “Textures of Selfhood,” a documentary on hedonism and transcendence that garnered him the attention of producers for Al Gore’s cable network Current TV. Silva was a presenter and producer there from 2005 to 2011, but eventually he left television to try his luck with a series of online short films, Philosophical Espresso Shots. These films were a game-changer. Read more.

Arianna Huffington’s daughter Isabella is an emerging artist with sold-out shows in LA and NYC. She’s dedicated to making her art more accessible and less restricted to the museum space. In this show she explores with Deepak Chopra the comparisons between meditation and art and being able to appreciate what’s around us right now. Isabella started meditating to help heal a decade long eating-disorder caused by anxiety of getting ahead and succeeding. Which goes back to art, she explains. We don’t pay enough attention to where we are. You can pass something 100 times before it actually catches your attention. Having used the unconventional media of sharpies and collage, she believes her experiences with problem solving while making her art is a great metaphor to the limitations we face in our daily life. People try years to make one idea work, why not instead be more creative with the other tools you have and open more doors. Art opens the window to a bigger awareness, it gives you a different perspective. Creating the life you want is part of a creative process too.

Josh Siegel
As humans we are drawn to other humans. We find comfort and strength in bonding together to form close knit groups that keep in mind the interests of the entire group rather than focusing solely on the needs of any one individual. We call these groups communities and we create them in nearly every aspect of our lives; our neighborhoods are communities, at work we may have another close-knit community and online we can have communities based on common interests not bound by geography. With community playing such a key role in our lives, it seems like a natural step to create financial communities. This was the vision that Josh Siegel had in 2003 when he founded StoneCastle Partners which has grown to be one of the largest and most respected firms in community banking. Read more.

Lauren Anderson
After the traumatic loss of her 17-year old brother in high school due to suicide, Lauren Anderson launched and is now running the Josh Anderson Foundation. The organization helps prevent teenage suicide and implement programs in high schools that reduce stigma and empower youth to seek help. Lauren explains in this show that if you can interject and connect with the student during a period of crisis, most often you can talk them out of taking an impulsive decision. Mindfulness, meditation and yoga in addition play a big role in the ongoing process. Youth are not necessarily self-aware. During busy school weeks they’re generally going and going and going. Students need the tools to be a little more self-aware of what they’re feeling and thinking, and positively react instead of impulsively reacting. Lauren tries to help safe teenage lives and take to heart their mental wellness.
