Topic: How A Little Humor Can Go A Long Way Towards Optimal Health

The next interview that I would like to share with you is with an individual who focuses on ways to incorporate having a healthy mind and spirit. Learn how everyday exercise tips and a healthy everyday meals will reward you.

Kamala: Hello everyone this is Kamala Appel, and I’m here with Jim Dailakis, and we’re going to be talking about how to live a healthy lifestyle, and learning from his journey. Jim please tell everyone a little bit about your background.

Jim Dailakis: Well let’s see; I’m a first generation Australian, born to Greek parents and I grew up in Australia for most of my life, but then moved to New York City in my 20s a few times. And I was supposed to be here for a three month stand-up comedy tour but that three months came up to…I think we’re coming up to 16 years.

Kamala: Wow.

Jim: Yeah, and that’s 43 states and 6 countries later.

So I never in my wildest dreams thought this would happen; where I’d just travel around the world performing and just working on a film, on a one man show, and it’s just all been great.

I’m living proof that you can have what you want. Just apply yourself and do not be lazy, because I do that sometimes.

Kamala: Well that’s interesting.

So when you say Australian of Greek heritage it’s funny because it makes me think of Anthony LaPaglia when he was talking about being the Italian in Australia, because Aussies are known for being blonde hair, blue eyes.

Jim: Oh yeah that’s all gone. Yeah we’re all…it’s more of a melting point per capita than New York City. Believe it or not there’s a lot of Asians, there’s more Greeks outside of Athens in Melbourne than anywhere else in the world; and a lot of Italians.

I go back every year and every year it’s like I see a different culture has just entered into the country; so it’s just…now there’s a lot of Somalians, there’s…the idea and the stereotypical blonde, bronzed, blue-eyed Aussie hero on a horse with a big coat is really fading out.

Kamala: That’s kind of cool. So, tell me a little bit about…I’m curious, this is just an additional question; do you see any differences in health and wellness in people’s mindsets in Australia versus in the U.S.?

I hope this interview event provided you with some Everyday Exercise Tips.
