Episode 010 - Noel Peters
Manage episode 365785783 series 3483457
Our interview guest for Episode 10 is a little different than our previous guests (as he is not an engineer nor is he involved in the water industry), but he is someone who really packs a punch and is incredibly motivating - that person is Noel Peters. Noel is 61yrs of age, lives in Hobart, is a bricklayer by day, and 6th Dan Karate instructor and Kyoshi (or Professor) by night. For over 40 years, Noel has trained in Goju-Ryu (one of the four traditional styles of Karate), and he is now Tasmania’s karate master.
AD met Noel on a plane trip to Melbourne a few years ago, and was so impacted by Noel, that he couldn’t wait to reconnect with him and learn more about Noel’s life, especially in relation to his ongoing commitment to Kaizen (Japanese for “continual improvement”).
In this episode, Noel talks to us about his early years and upbringing in Hobart, and his karate journey. He also shares valuable insights (and inspirational messages) on how we all can find self improvement and find our way in life. We also talk about one of Noel’s special achievements where he converted an old Hobart church to a Dojo (a place to study 'The Way').
Both of us truly enjoyed our conversation with Noel, I am sure you all will too.
