  • PAUL BAXENDALE Training with DORIAN YATES- The Most Inspiring Journey of Resilience and Self-Discovery After The Accident.
    Jun 3 2024

    PAUL BAXENDALE
    Training with DORIAN YATES- The Most Inspiring Journey of Resilience and Self-Discovery After The Accident.


    
I've just wrapped up an incredibly powerful conversation with none other than Paul Baxendale, a former bodybuilder turned life coach,- former Training Partner of 6 x Mr Olympia Dorian Yates and I can’t wait for you to listen- for me it was one of the most powerful shows to date.


    🏋️‍♂️ From Muscle to Mindset: Paul opened up about his journey from the competitive world of bodybuilding, training alongside legends like Dorian Yates, to the values that underpin the fitness community. Trust, honor, and integrity aren't just buzzwords; they're the foundation of a supportive gym culture.


    💪 Resilience in the Face of Adversity: Paul's life took an unexpected turn after a severe life changing- disabling injury, leading him down a path of soul-searching. He shared how philosophy and literature, including works like "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, helped him rediscover his purpose and resilience.



    🌑 **Overcoming the Darkness**: In a raw and vulnerable account, Paul recounted the darkest times of his life, grappling with the specter of suicide and the depths of depression. It was through sheer will, the support of loved ones, and a newfound understanding of mental health that he dragged himself out of that darkness, emerging with a renewed passion for life and a commitment to help others facing similar battles.


    🤝 The Power of Connection: We delved into the importance of community and the rare, deep connections that sustain us through life's toughest challenges. Paul's story is a testament to the strength we find in each other and the transformative power of reaching out for support.


    🌟 A New Chapter as a Life Coach: Paul's transition to life coaching is driven by a desire to help others find their purpose. He's not about cookie-cutter programs; he's all about authentic, one-on-one coaching that's as real as it gets.


    🗣️ An Open Invitation: In a heartfelt moment, Paul extended an offer to our listeners. If you're struggling or need someone to talk to, he's here. It's not about business; it's about being part of a community that cares.


    I'm still buzzing from the raw honesty and profound insights Paul shared. If you're looking for a dose of motivation or a reminder of what's truly important in life, tune in to this latest episode. You won't regret it.


    And remember, if Paul's words struck a chord with you, reach out. He's made it clear he's here for you, and so am I. Let's keep building this tribe together.

  • ANDY STUMPF 
“A Candid Conversation with Andy Stumpf- Exploring Authenticity, Mental Health, and Controversies in the Military”
    May 27 2024
    I've just wrapped up an incredible episode with none other than Andy Stumpf, a man whose resume reads like an action hero's: - former Navy SEAL Team 6 Operator, Double world record holder, Skydiving and Wingsuit legend and Ironclad presenter and Podcast host. 

Let me tell you, our conversation was nothing short of inspiring- we covered: 🎖️ Military Mindset and Beyond We dove deep into what fuels Andy's relentless drive, from his military experiences to his epic 777 expedition. He shared his unique perspective on achievements and how resilience and continuous growth are the real badges of honour. 💡 The Pursuit of Excellence Andy debunked some common myths about special forces, emphasising that it's not all about physical prowess. Instead, adaptability and mental resilience are the true cornerstones of success in the face of adversity. 👨‍👧‍👦 Parenting and Pushing Limits We also touched on the importance of teaching resilience to our kids and the transformative power of stepping out of our comfort zones. It's about embracing hardship as a pathway to growth. 🌍 Teamwork and Sacrifice The 777 expedition was a testament to the power of teamwork and the practical challenges of pursuing such a monumental goal. Andy's candid recount of the logistical hurdles they faced was a lesson in determination. 🔫 A Soldier's Tale Andy opened up about a harrowing experience of being shot during a mission in Iraq, offering a raw and honest account of the incident and his road to recovery. It's a story of vulnerability and the strength found in breaking down goals into manageable steps. 🧠 Mental Health and Authenticity We didn't shy away from tough topics, discussing the curated facades on social media and the importance of authenticity. I shared my skepticism about certain public figures and the need for transparency and honesty. 📚 Controversy and Community The conversation took a turn as we addressed some controversies within the special forces community, exploring the impact of scrutiny and the response to ethical breaches. It's a reminder that accountability and integrity are paramount. 🎙️ Connecting and Conversing Finally, we celebrated the power of the internet to connect us with our heroes and the positive impact of authentic conversations. Andy left us with some profound advice on finding passion and purpose, and the importance of self-discovery before committing to others. I'm beyond grateful for the wisdom Andy shared, and I can't wait for you to join us on this journey.
