Imagine you could protect your precious assets with an advanced surface sealant. Think of your yacht, your plane or your car. Michael Bollam joins Real Rover to discuss the business of doing just that with his super advanced line of Aglaze products. Whether it is the Concorde or your old favourite car Michael has created something that can maintain your assets by protecting them longer. This interview was conducted live at the main office of Aglaze and its chairman Michael was kind enough to not only show me around the company but also drove me to the train station after the interview.

The Zealous entrepreneur Harry Kosato
Guest Harry Kosato
Lang English
So welcome to.. the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way Serendipidy is defined thus in the dictionary but we do not often connect it to wheeling and dealing in multiple businesses in multiple countries and in multiple languages do we? Meet a true blue entrepreneur who goes by his nickname Harry but whose Japanese name is Hakuei Kosato. Just during this in person interview he fended calls from Mumbai and Hong Hong in connection with the Great British Week in Tokyo’s chic Roppongi-an event he invented like so many others to bring something unique into form and very importantly to ‘pay the bills’ doing it… something his mentor Richard Branson taught him. On his way to London from Kobe via his Tokyo office I caught this effervescent man for long enough to receive a byte of his substantial knowledge about what it really takes to be an entrepreneur. Packed with enlightening hints about how to stop doing what you do NOT want to

The Electric Universe: Gettting connected with physicist Wal Thornhill
Guest Wal Thornhill
Lang English
For over two decades an Australian physicist has championed the revolutionary theory that our universe operates electrically. Though all of our modern science proves itself in mathematical theory it could actually have no true basis in fact. This potentially stunning conclusion becomes inescapable to any open minded enquiry as the interview unfolds. With a precise understanding of hard physics (as it used to operate), and a robust examination of the observed universe Thornhill has used a plethora of approaches to show us the obvious: our universe has its power source in electricity. His rational approach is multidisciplinary whilst never wavering from the fulcrum of real physics. He eschews the largely unintelligible gibberish of mathematical theory and grounds us in a return to sanity in science. Black holes, quantum physics, the expanding universe and multiple secret dimensions, the ‘giants’ like Einstein etc. all receive a thorough intellectual spanking by this master o

Elephants in the sky: Leading water research
Guest Professor Gerald Pollack
Lang English
We start with a zen riddle in this interrupted-by-internet-breakdown interview, essentially asking how clouds really form. Professor Gerald Pollack is a world renowned scientist from the University of Washington whose landmark book, The Fourth Phase of Water challenged the long held belief (not fact) that water can only exist as a solid, liquid, or vapour. Long and patient research in his laboratory has revealed one more ‘state’ or phase of water..closer to a gel or a semi-crystallised snow flake. Even more astonishing that is the kind of water we are made of-in our cellular structures. With great humour and panache Dr. Pollack takes us through and past long held superstitions about water and shows us how light and electricity play a far greater role in water’s movement than we have previously assumed. He shows us just how regimented science has become and how to overcome the limitations of its own restictive paradigms through the creation of the Institute for Ventur

Wild and compassionate: Inside the heart of a Japanese pastor
Guest Koichi Hirano
Lang English
Koichi Hirano has a truly powerful message in this age of lukewarm Christianity, a message of increasing faith and hope just when so many have given up on an ancient religion. With warmth, wisdom and unrelenting optimism he shares a life testing his faith on both sides of the Pacific showing us what it means to act as if you really do have a father in Heaven. Trained in Japan after a teenage crisis led him God he went to America as a young man. Despite language obstacles, lack of funding and in a completely foreign milieu he established several very successful churches and ended up in the creme de la creme of places, Santa Barbara California. But with an unbelievable sense of obedience he listened to the call to return to a country that had completely changed in the two decades away. Now the women call the men cute, the women are powerful and the men are rather lost. Now abstentee fathers are the norm and marriage has ceased to be an aim of the women. In both the East and the West bel

Religion meets science in the vacuum
Guest Koichi Hirano
Lang Japanese
Pastor Koichi Hirano works as a Tokyo based, world traveling messenger of God even still at the age of 74. Bilingual and with rich experience in both the US and Japan as a bible teacher, family and marriage counsellor as well as now heading his own Horizon Chapel he is known to deliver five impassioned sermons in one day! He is surely a tireless crusader for the same Holy Spirit that seems to power his every move. Pastor Hirano has recently developed a fascination with the work of holofractographic scientist Nassim Haramein. He sees clear refllections of Biblical knowledge throughout Haramein’s theories of the vacuum space full of infinite energy. Well aware of the challenges the established church system around the world faces he draws from the deep well of scripture to show us how Haramein’s ideas resonate completely with ancient tradition. Beyond that it seems that in this interview there really has emerged a bridge between the often embattled systems of the left and ri

And Zen the emerging Future* Part two
Guest Benjamin J. Butler
Lang English
Here we continue the second part of a wide ranging interview with futurist Benjamin J. Butler. Before the interview this most unusual futurist, one who has a rather more holistic view of the ‘future’ prediction paradigm, suggested we go for a dip in the chilly River Dart to better prepare ourselves. Having walked with him in the ancient forests of Devon to get there I can say that it did impact the quality of our conversation. Talking heads is an expression we come across often now. It means solely cerebral communication to many. But Benjamin prepared the interviewer better and I must say that we did have a more meaningful dialogue that the walk and the river ablution surely helped prepare us for. In part two Benjamin spends more time discussing the spiritual aspects of futurism, i.e. human consciousness itself. Follow his work here.
