Nicholas McCarthy (@NMcCarthyPiano) was born in 1989 without his
right hand and only started to play the piano at the age of 14.
He was told he would never succeed as a concert pianist.
Fortunately, the doubters were wrong. His graduation from the
prestigious Royal College of Music in London in 2012 appeared in
press around the world, as he became the only one-handed pianist
to graduate from the Royal College of Music in its 130-year
history. Nicholas has now performed extensively throughout the
world, including the U.K., U.S., South Africa, South Korea,
Japan, Malta, and Kazakhstan. He has also played alongside
Coldplay and given a rendition of the Paralympic Anthem in front
of an audience of 86,000 people and half a billion worldwide
viewers. His first album, entitled Solo (Warner Music) features
17 stunning pieces of left-hand repertoire spanning three
centuries and has been released around the world to great
acclaim. This was a blast of an interview, and I hope you enjoy
it as much as I did. Thanks for listening. Show notes and links

www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast. This podcast is brought to you
by Gymnastic Bodies. This is the training system that I am
most obsessed with at the moment. Coach Sommer appeared on a
previous episode of the podcast, which turned into a sleeper
hit. He is the former USA national team coach for men's
gymnastics and creator of this bodyweight-based training system.
I'm not easily impressed, and I have been completely blown away
by the sophistication and the elegance of his programming. I have
been using Gymnastic Bodies for just a few months now, and I
already feel more flexible and stronger than I have in years.
