The Comeback Mindset

From Soldier to Humanitarian - The Journey to Compassion

In this episode of Through The Eyes of Adversity, I sit down with Ste Holland to hear his incredible story — from a troubled childhood, to serving on front-line combat operations across the world with the army, to now making life-or-death decisions that determine whether millions of people in Gaza have food on their tables. Ste’s journey and achievements could never be fully captured in just 40 minutes, but we’ve done our best to give you a glimpse into his extraordinary life and selfless mission. In recent years, he’s worked on the ground in places like Ukraine and Gaza, bringing aid to countless people — many of them children. His tireless humanitarian efforts have even been featured on programmes such as ITV News. I hope this conversation helps shine an even brighter light on the incredible, life-changing work Ste is doing. #army #humanitarian #food #adversity #help

Adventure and Purpose: Building Community After the Military

It was an honour to sit down with Loz Moore and talk about his amazing journey from leading a life preparing for the military, serving in the military, and going on to be part of a brilliant group of people who set up Cockleshell 22. This is a group of former Royal Marines, Royal Air Force, and British Army veterans who provide UK and overseas expeditions based in historic military raids, and it provides people a place to come together and experience something special helping them both physically and mentally. Loz is an inspirational leader, and he has an amazing story. It was an honour to listen and be part of the process of sharing this.

The Mindset of a Premier League Footballer

It was great to sit down with former LFC midfielder Kevin Stewart in the latest episode of Through The Eyes of Adversity. As successful as a footballing career Kevin had, in the theme of my podcast, we got to speak about how he dealt with moments of adversity in life both on and off the pitch. It was really interesting to understand how he managed the pressures of playing at the top level of football around some of the best players in the world. How he bounced back through difficult periods of his career and how his mentality helped him achieve so much. With all of Kevin's experience, he now helps so many people around the world reach their own potential in life wether that be in business, sport or even as parents. I am just truly grateful to have spent the time together in this podcast, and I hope everybody else enjoys it, too.

When Dad's Lose Themselves

in this episode I sat down with Chris Beavers, also known as Farther Fit PT. Chris spoke about his experience becoming a new Dad during Covid and how he fell into the common situation of letting go of his fitness routines and not prioritising his own health. This is all common, leading to the well know phrase - Dad Bod. But its more than just a physique problem. Once you become a Dad it can be easy for a lot of people to forget who they used to be. You may not be able to live the same life prior to kids, however it can be the perfect time to start thinking about your health. Chris helps Dad's feel at their best and we talk about some of the most common things Dad's face daily including himself. We talk about why its good to set the right example for our kids when it comes to habits, movement and nutrition.

Episode 15 will be out this Sunday, and if I can just ask people to follow my page and subscribe to the YouTube channel in my bio, it really does go a long way to supporting the podcast and it helps get more eyes on the amazing guests - Thank you!

As we learn more about the gut, we are finding out more and more ways it plays such a big part in how a lot of systems work in our body, including the connection to our brain. When Graham was about to emark on the biggest adventure of his life travelling Australia, he suddenly came down with stomach issues that never went away, and this was just the beginning of his journey navigating gut health issues whilst being a personal trainer and managing day to day life. In this episode, we talk about grahams story, and he gives some practical tips and advice around nutrition and training for anybody suffering with Gut issues, and he covers things he does now to keep symptoms at bay.
