Following the success of their series of wellness podcasts during lockdown, the Global Wellness Summit (GWS) has launched a news series of their popular wellness podcasts for autumn and winter.
Launched last October during the 2019 summit in Singapore, the popular podcast series experienced a 650% increase in downloads in the first month of the COVID-19 shutdown and grew international listenership from 31 to 51 countries.
The seven-episode podcast season kicked off late August with a talk from Sarah Smith, the content director of the iconic health resource Prevention magazine. Hosted by award-winning wellness industry communications veteran, Kim Marshall, the honest, wide-ranging conversations feature business leaders and thinkers from diverse wellness markets and explore topics often aligned with research spearheaded by the GWS nonprofit partner, the Global Wellness Institute (GWI).
Forthcoming GWS talks include a masterclass from Gong Master Martha Collard - a former marine biologist who left the corporate world after 28 years to follow her passion of bringing wellness to the world through sound waves, CEO of Earthlite and Living Earth Crafts, James Chenevey, who came up with a way to adapt their massage and facial tables to provide a lifesaving tool for COVID-19 patients, and Jennifer Walsh, who talks about how it’s possible to embrace nature with wellness walks, even in an inner city location like New York.
The team will be joined later in the series by Roberto Arjona, General Manager, of Rancho La Puerta who reveals on how, in spite of furloughing employees and being shut down for five months, the original destination spa in North America is celebrating its 80th anniversary by “Evolving in a Whole New Way.”. The calendar of planned podcasts also includes a discussion with wellness counselor Randi Mae Stafford Liebold about how the simultaneous crises of the ongoing pandemic and racial injustice in 2020 has taken a toll on the emotional and mental health of people of colour. She shares specific, positive ways to change engrained, shortsighted behaviour toward Black communities, especially in the wellness industry.
