My name is Gennady, and I believe that everyone is unique. We were born in different countries, cultures, with totally different backgrounds, but the main goal is to live, love, help and make the World a much better place than it is now. I am a huge believer in \u201cLive and let live\u201d. But I\u2019m not the only one. So many of the greatest influencers of all times say exactly the same. I grew up on Vladimir Visotsky\u2019s songs- full of power, truth and humanity. His goal was to enjoy this life to the fullest, help as many people as possible to become better versions of themselves. Tony makes you the biggest version of yourself. Each one of us can achieve the highest level of Success by doing something bigger and better than you used to do before. Even if it\u2019s just small steps. It doesn\u2019t matter. Also, it is important to have a mentor, teacher, coach- somebody who can help to find YOUR WAY. Sometimes from London to Liverpool you can get thru Brazil or Australia. But it\u2019s not for everybody. Some people want to take a comfortable coach or train. People are different. My belief is \u201cjust do it\u201d. Sometimes \u201cjust\u201d takes months or years. But at the end who cares? You are the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LP<\/strong>: Having lived in diverse cultural landscapes\u2014from the historic streets of Minsk to the vibrant shores of Miami\u2014how have these contrasting environments contributed to your creative expression and worldview?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GG:&nbsp;<\/strong>I love traveling, discovering the World, meeting different people. Living in several countries helps me to understand others better. And there are plenty of memories from cities-countries-jobs-trainings\u2026 That is what makes life much better. Also, it gives material for my stories and poetry. Sometimes you remember something funny from any place and just smile. At this particular moment, life becomes better. Also, dreaming about the next trip or seminar adds sparkle to your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LP:&nbsp;<\/strong>Transitioning from an admirer of great speakers to becoming a speaker yourself, what were the pivotal moments or insights that propelled you into the realm of public speaking and life coaching?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GG:&nbsp;<\/strong>Thinking of too many people that are just afraid to take the first step, to get out of their comfort zone. But how can you call something \u201cComfort zone\u201d if you suffer there??? If your kids or parents can not get the best or even not-the-worse stuff? Also, having my unique experience from different places. And I hate propaganda, and can\u2019t watch lies from TV. So, it\u2019s much better to tell the truth to people that are afraid to look for it themselves. Unfortunately, there are too many wars, it\u2019s just impossible not to cry about innocent victims and not to wish justice for Fuhrer of our days, and not just for him. Sad\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LP:&nbsp;<\/strong>As an author and poet, what themes do you find recurring in your work, and how do they reflect the collective experiences of the different communities you\u2019ve been a part of?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GG:<\/strong>I prefer being global. If you listen to greatest people like John Lennon, Elvis or Tony, you know that they preach about love, peace and positivity. But Vissotsky and Rozenbaum also tell us the hardest truth. I prefer to be somewhere in the middle. Even in hard poem about war I still try to give hope that not everything is lost and there is so much good we must being prepared for. Also, sometimes I just write about great seminars, cities or memories of good unknown people, where each one can find his own relatives or just think twice about something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LP<\/strong>: Can you share a project from the Eurasian Creative Guild that holds special significance to you, and how does it embody the guild\u2019s mission to connect and uplift people globally?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"914\" src=\"https:\/\/inpsjapan.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Genny2-1024x914.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inpsjapan.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Genny2-1024x914.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inpsjapan.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Genny2-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inpsjapan.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Genny2-768x686.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inpsjapan.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Genny2-150x134.jpg 150w, https:\/\/inpsjapan.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Genny2-696x622.jpg 696w, https:\/\/inpsjapan.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Genny2-1068x954.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/inpsjapan.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Genny2.jpg 1514w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">London Post<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GG:&nbsp;<\/strong>Our Guild totally changed my life. Every project connects people, makes people closer to each other, helps artists and other creative people to get to the highest level. For me, being in London, Bulgaria and Asia impressed me a lot. I assisted Marat on his projects and felt great. What a pleasure to be an event\u2019s host or organizer. Or going to different countries and cities meeting and connecting so many great positive and sunny people- people of light. You meet person once, but feel like old friends or even brothers and sisters. Translation of the word \u201cGuild\u201d to Russian is \u201cComradeship\u201d. It\u2019s exactly the meaning. And Masters from different countries become ONE. Now we have an online program- podcasts and interviews. But I prefer personal touch, hug and feeling the energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LP:&nbsp;<\/strong>Could you share a memorable moment from your time in each of the countries you\u2019ve lived in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GG:&nbsp;<\/strong>Belarus\u2019- my childhood. Grandparents and sections after school. Trolleys and trams. Vacations with Mama for whole month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Israel<\/strong>\u2013 totally different environment, language, culture, approach to life\u2026 Not exactly mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>USA<\/strong>\u2013 Miami\u2026 Paradise on Earth. Tony and Tramp, lectures and volunteering when you can meet lecturers and talk to them. Atlantic Arena and Convention Center, where I saw these giants. Ocean, cruse ships, my Toyota, flights\u2026. What a life\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Russia<\/strong>\u2013 huge Moscow, full of the best, also my culture (before 2022). Scenes, beautiful life, traveling the country, scyscraper Visotsky in Ekaterinburg, his grave on Vagan\u2019kovo, amazing landscapes of Sankt Petersburg, Writer of the year\u2026 And now it\u2019s gone. My huge pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UK<\/strong>\u2013 London is one of the best cities in the World. Place where everybody feels welcomed. And Liverpool where I was sitting on the bench for 2 hours after the Beatles museum with tears. Great John lost his life because of hatred, and now\u2026 almost 40 years later. \u201cI am the dreamer, but I\u2019m not the only one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LP:&nbsp;<\/strong>What themes or emotions do you explore in your Russian prose and poetry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GG:\u00a0<\/strong>Everything that can help people, from my memories of a\u00a0 great concert to requiem for wonderful people that are no longer with us. I prefer free style, like sitting near a lake with a campfire and telling stories. Because in such an environment everybody feels safe. And that what counts. I wish you, dear brother Raza, and our readers peace and safety. All we need is LOVE!!!
