One of the most important conversations I’ve had so far.Steve Phillip is the founder of The Jordan Legacy, a suicide prevention charity created in the wake of Steve’s son Jordans suicide.Using his platform on Linkedin, Steve now delivers talks, runs the charity and uses his voice to help break the stigma around suicide and help those suffering.I’ve had my own experiences with these feelings. I’m proud to say I made it out of the other side, but so many sadly don’tWe discussed why it’s such an issue for men in particular, how The Jordan Legacy was founded, the practical actions to prevent suicide and some early signs to look out for if you’re worried about someone in your life.Seems biased for me to say this I know, but this is essential listening. I hope you enjoy and take something from it!Find out more about The Jordan Legacy here - https://thejordanlegacy.com
Great to be joined in the lounge this week by Harrison Ward, aka, The Fell Foodie!Harrison is a wellness speaker, outdoorsman and just an all round legend.We discussed his past and how the Fell Foodie came and his love of hiking and cooking outdoors came about. It was a long difficult road and I’m thankful to Harrison for his candour and grace in sharing his story and battles.We chatted about:His alcohol addiction, the vicious circle of using alcohol to treat clinical depressionWhy men feel like a burden and keep their thoughts insideFinding hiking, the gym and the mental and physical effectsMale body confidence and relationship with foodImposter syndromeAn awesome conversation with some difficult subjects, but ones that we all need to speak and be more open about.Hope you all enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording.And please don’t follow Harrison up any hills asking for food 😅
For the latest ep of Sofa Sessions, I’m going through the biggest lesson I’ve taken from each of the last 3 episodes.The idea that your definition of success changes as you become more successfulThe dream of sitting on the beach at the end isn’t as much of a dream as you’d thinkUsing your passions to reboot your mindAs well as these, I’m getting into my first BJJ competition, how I’m dealing with getting absolutely smoked, why we should only be comparing ourselves to ourselves in the past and of course, what I’ve been watching/reading/listening to.Another fun one, even though I’m still feeling pretty shit 😅Enjoy!
