This week I sit down with my mate "Norf", otherwise known as Paul Norford and we talk about soft skills and the art of presenting. This is really apt for our current situation, as many of us have to present now, whether it's on social media or on a remote call, it is a skill everyone could learn to develop. In this pod we discuss how we learnt, offer some tips and share some of Norfs stories and energy, this is a belter, mainly because Norfeus is a LEGEND!

New Podcast episode! "The Dawn of the Dyslexics" with my man Ryan Conlan I am really excited about this episode for a few reasons: 1) Ryan has had a storming year, graduating with a 1st class honours degree, landing a new job at Google and giving a Ted X talk! (I appreciate that 2020 has been a tough and for some a tragic year but 1 thing I believe in is celebrating people and their successes, especially in adverse situations.) 2) We talk about Dyslexia, which we both have and which Ryan did his Ted talk on, and which could become more of a badge of honour as well as a carrer strength going into the 4th industrial revolution. 3) Ryan is my 1st returning guest and there is good reason for that, he is really insightfull and despite his humility around his strengths and abilities, he demonstrates and skills and shares ideas in an inspiring and unique way! I feel lucky to be his friend and value our conversations greatly! OK if that hasn't sold you.....then go and have a look at Ryans LinkedIn profile and some of his posts, then click the link and give it a listen!

About Michael: I am a lifetime student of the human body and—more so—the phenomena of the brain. I started with physicality by simply noticing the nuance required in performing tricks on a skateboard. I was quickly consumed by the fantastical realm of martial arts, studying in disciplines as far ranging as Tae Kwon Do, Hung Gar, Iaido and Kendo but finally finding a real connection with Muay Thai and now Brazilian Jujitsu. Curiosity about my own potential opened me up to GPP and endurance sports. Competing in triathlon and road cycling consumed me and the budding interest of “how can I get better?” quickly replaced my career as a hairdresser, make-up artist, and photographer; becoming a world of “how can I get others better?” using strength and conditioning, nutrition, and exercise psychology. I’ve competed in hundreds of bike races, dozens of triathlons, International CrossFit style competitions and Olympic style weightlifting events. I’ve helped prepare people for feature films, military selections, and international elite sports. The one thread that binds them is not the muscles, heart or lungs, but the tissue in the skull. The ability to hone this is the feature that I care most about and want to share with my clients.

This episode I chat to ex-colleague and fellow dyslexic, Steven Woodgate aka Woody. We chat about what Dyslexia is, how to deal with it and why it's really a superpower, not a disadvantage! About dyslexia Dyslexia is a neurological difference and can have a significant impact during education, in the workplace and in everyday life. As each person is unique, so is everyone's experience of dyslexia. It can range from mild to severe, and it can co-occur with other learning differences. It usually runs in families and is a life-long condition. It is important to remember that there are positives to thinking differently. Many dyslexic people show strengths in areas such as reasoning and in visual and creative fields. About Woody: A creative, curious and collaborative marketer and accessibility advocate leading the charge on creating an inclusive culture.

This week I sit down with Silas from English farm to discuss regenerative farming, how it could help save the planet and why grass-fed beef is great for humans. About English Farm: At English Farm, we are staunch believers in the benefits of a diverse pasture only diet for our animals, firmly believing in the age old adage - you are what you eat. We have taken the time to explore what makes the best British Beef, and have come to find that the combination of high welfare - in order to reduce stress, the best breed - English Longhorn, and the best diet - diverse pasture, all combine to create a beautiful product that is full of flavour, environmentally sustainable, and is actually healthier than that of conventional grain-fed animals. Our organic system of rotational and conservation grazing allows the animals to behave as close to as nature intended, the holistic mob stocking approach helps to build soil carbon levels and our PFLA certified 100% grass-fed diet allows the slow grown Beef to achieve a fuller flavour which is nutrient dense and proven to have higher levels of beneficial omega 3 fatty acids. As stewards of the land we ensure that our organic farming system enhances the local biosphere by increasing soil diversity and health, encouraging diversity in our pastures and reinstating hedgerows for wildlife habitat.

Public Speaker. Keto Consultant. Brain Tumor Survivor I have followed Josh for a little while now, I had heard briefly about him through my liking and following of the BMX scene, but I really learned about Josh through Keto. Once I started looking to Keto to solve my gut and metabolic issues I looked for other people doing the same and looked for people using it to treat other issues, I had no idea you could even live with brain tumors let alone treat them with diet. Anyway, this was a rad podcast, I was a little nervous as Josh is a cool dude and used to ride with Dave Mira, who is a hero of mine.....anyway I wish I could have chatted to him for longer, hope you enjoy. IB About Josh: After a third brain tumor diagnosis, Josh Perry left the comfort of a professional BMX career to harnesses the power of his incredible story and inspire others to foster new perspectives and take new action in their lives. Now as a health coach, keto advocate, and speaker, he is providing tools for mental strength, health & nutrition, manifestation, and business. Josh illustrates how challenges come in dierent shapes and sizes, yet for every problem there’s always a solution. He emphasizes that happy and successful people use the same mental tools to get them there, regardless of their past or current tribulations.

This week I am Talking Tech, with Basil Kronfli! I have known Basil for a pretty decent while now, crossing paths a number of times at various tech companies and it was always a pleasure to catch up and talk tech. Mainly due to Basil's passion, insight, and understanding of the tech industry.

This week I sit down with Wes to tell his story about living and managing his Crohn's disease. Wes is a large, energetic character and a wicked person to be around! This podcast came about after talking to him at the gym and sharing stories and with gut health being a topic that is close to me, I really wanted to get Wes on to discuss his journey and what he is planning to do to spread awareness and support others with Chrone's. Links: https://www.instagram.com/wesleydyke/ What is Crohn's disease? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crohn%27s_disease Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that may affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus.[2] Symptoms often include abdominal pain, diarrhea (which may be bloody if inflammation is severe), fever, and weight loss.[1][2] Other complications outside the gastrointestinal tract may include anemia, skin rashes, arthritis, inflammation of the eye, and tiredness.[1] The skin rashes may be due to infections as well as pyoderma gangrenosum or erythema nodosum.[1] Bowel obstruction may occur as a complication of chronic inflammation, and those with the disease are at greater risk of bowel cancer.[1]

This week's guest is talented freelance Photographer Jon Payne. Jon came to my attention after collaborating with functional fitness store Whatever it Takes and taking photos with a number of top-level Crossfit athletes. As a very amateur but keen photographer, I wanted to chat about how Jon got into photography, what inspires him and how he crafts his art. Also as Jon has been to many sanctionals this year gone and the games, what the CrossFit landscape is like through his lens. As I mention in the intro the theme of this one is about taking chances, being positive and trying to work together to create. Hope you enjoy the conversation.
