Join James and former rugby star Dan Sarginson for this candid podcast, as they discuss their lives, their careers and their shared history with Mental Health issues and the journey they’ve both been on. The men share stories of overcoming substance abuse, navigating the challenges of panic attacks, and Dan opens up about the profound loss of his brother to suicide. 

The lads explore the realities of existing in a hyper-masculine environment and how Dan emerged stronger on the other side. And through sharing their stories, Dan  discusses the heavy burden of shame and the tools he's discovered to cope with it, whilst incorporating healthy practises like self awareness and living in the moment.

Join James and Dan for a fascinating exploration of resilience, recovery, and the journey to finding assurance and confidence in life’s most challenging moments.
