Starting a business with Minds on Flow & Modern Poi

Starting a new company is hard, but starting it in a niche market like flow arts might be even harder! Jesse from Minds on Flow is releasing a new modular LED system and will tell us how tricky it is to make a machine to mold silicon. Andreas on the other hand is launching a platform that would resemble a skill tree for poi, with the aim of helping beginners in their learning journey.

Poiheads LIVE! @PhoenixFireConvention 2026 with GORA!

If you are an european fire spinner there is a very high chance that your first ever fire prop was probably a Gora branded one. Krisztian Gora, or just simply Gora, is a pioneer of prop manufacturing, the inventor of dragonstaff as we know it, an amazing fire performer and an insanely good and captivating story teller! We had the chance of sitting down with him for a chat at Phoenix Fire Convention 2026, and we loved it! In this episode we will also go through some heavier topics, like remembering the beloved Linda Farkas, and a gruesome story about an accident that happened to Gora during a fire show, that changed his life.

Poiheads LIVE! @Artemisia Fire Gathering 2026 with Tim Goddard

On the last day of Artemisia Fire Gathering we sat down with none other than the poi legend himself Tim Goddard and bombarded him with questions! Does he manages to survive from poi spinning alone? What's the scene like in Australia? Is he Mainstream now? Listen to the episode and let us know if the answers were satisfying :) Also, don't get spooked if the audio gets weird sometimes: we were outside on a very windy day, surrounded by jugglers playing music, cracking whips and throwing knives, so I had to crank up the noise reduction in some small bits :) This week's Poiheads Tim Goddard - https://www.instagram.com/timmehtek/ Morten Kjaer - https://www.instagram.com/morten.moves/ Rocco Toscano - https://www.instagram.com/circularvideos/ Follow our podcast on https://www.instagram.com/poiheads/ Get our merch at poiheads.com Send us an email contact@poiheads.com Intro by Flavio "il Naya" Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/il_naya Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@il_naya
