weMove Podcast

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast . The next episode in our exploration of the nervous system, this week Chris talks Dom Koch, one of the practitioners we have worked with for many years, about how the nervous system is the governing body for our movements, but when it feels unsafe or from past experiences, it might reduce the number of options available to the body.  The body is always giving you the truth, telling you where you are at. How we respond to that truth is crucial in moving forward.  Do you force yourself to move or do you let your body move into place? Allowing our bodies to move, the body will more likely move in the way you want it to. Forcing anything, never really works.  There is no right or wrong in movement but there are options, many of which might be forgotten, ignored, shut off from due to pain, memory, past experience   Your body will use what it has and deems safe, but it might not be the most efficient. If there is then pain then it creates limitations on how the body can move and in turn how we feel in space, in the environment around us.   Dom’s work is a mirror to remind the users body of movement options and in turn show the body that it has nothing to fear in how it moves and if it feels safe to do so.   Your body will move better when the nervous system feels safe, efficient and energy conserving to do that. He tries to get what is missing, much like the map in the brain that has been smudged and we can’t quite see the path forwards. His work reminds our brains of the paths the body can travel, opening us up to greater ranges of movement and awareness.   He’s a bit of a wizard in our opinion, whether you have long standing pain in movement, or just feel like life is not quite flowing, his skills might just be what is required to get movement and life on a forward path again.   Enjoy the pod, have a listen and remember to share it with someone you feel might get something from it.Web - https://www.decrypt-bodywork.com/Insta  - @decryptbodywork

The weMove podcast is getting in to the Nervous System, what it is, what it does for us and how we can relearn how we communicate with it to take us from a place of fight, flight, freeze, fawn to a more regulated alert and healthy state giving us back the power to experience life and movement.  We have heard the phrase Nervous System many times and trauma equally as much. The last few years the word trauma has become increasingly used and focussed on. However we have felt being stuck in this place of trauma contemplation was not the place to be, nor was covering our past with experiences that took us away from what we were feeling, be that ice baths, breathing practices, daily training, ointments and potions. None of which are wrong but our bodies tell us what the problem is through these sensations that if we numb them, we cannot feel. And if we cannot feel, then we cannot heal.   Our guest @irenelyon Irene Lyon, MSC. and nervous system expert, teaches people around the world how to work with the nervous system to transform trauma, heal body and mind, and live full, creative lives. To date, her online programs and classes have reached over 9,500 people in over 90 countries. Irene has a Master’s Degree in Biomedical and Health Science and also has a knack for making complex info easy for all of us to understand and apply to our lives. She has extensively studied and practices the works of Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais, Peter Levine (founder of Somatic Experiencing) and Kathy Kain (founder of Somatic Practice). Irene spends her free time eating delicious food, hiking in the mountains or walking along the Pacific Ocean in her hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia. Enjoy the show and share the episode with one person who you feel will benefit.

Hi there and welcome to the weMove podcast. This episode revisits our farming series ran a few months ago as since then Chris has been documenting in film the farmers and the relationships the farmers have with the land and most importantly the animals on the land. This podcast directly accompanies Chris’s film The Dairy Farmer, hearing how Sophie Gregory became a dairy farmer, her relationship with farming as a business and it’s direct connection to the health of humans. There are many levels to the phrase “we are what we eat”, but we literally are because what we eat, becomes our flesh and blood. It nourishes us with it’s nutrition for good and bad (in direct correlation with the lifestyle the animal/crop has led, think pasture raised cattle who live on the land versus antibiotic filled, synthetic food eating cattle, kept in conditions less than optimal for their health, let alone ours) Eating well is the same process for the food that feeds us, and eating for our health and vitality becomes a simple process when we understand that minimally processed natural food sources that have been raised and grown in conditions which support the land and them, provides the most nutrient dense positive nourishment for mind and body. As Sophie says in the film, “healthy soil, healthy animal, healthy milk/food, healthy human”. It is a simple connected wheel, one that does require us to be aware and mindful of what, where and how our food is raised/grown/produced. You can watch the film on weMove.world, or click the link in our instagram bio. Thanks to Chris as always for making these films, up and out whatever the weather to capture the moments and share the stories of the people and animals who provide our food. Peace.

New podcast up.In a sea of brands, I find it more challenging than I thought to find those with genuine energy for inclusivity, united by a true love for the pursuit/movement they practice, in this case, cycling. And Universal Colours does just that.So much of creating something is about the intention of choice and this is often ignored because it takes time. Yet there is a great power and transference of energy when intentional decisions in design are made. It can be felt, not necessarily needing to be understood by those who come across it. Some brands just feel right and in an increasingly uncertain world, Universal Colours feel increasingly right.We catch up will Inge and Will, the brand and creative leads behind UC. Getting into how and why they started. Where the idea of “emotional durability” fits in, how that idea is transferred from the physical pursuit to the product range itself and what and how they see inclusivity in a sport/pursuit that can be seen as liberating and exclusive in equal measure.But whatever mode you choose, getting up and moving, creates powerful connections within our Selves and with others. Because at the end of the day we share more in common than we often like to think. We were born to move.Check out UC at www.universalcolours.com and @universalcolours on Instagram.

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast. It has been a while. This week's episode is with Ben Massey, the founder, and creator of RAD Global, the new upcoming brand in the fitness and training space. A hybrid of CrossFit, streetwear, and action sports. An interesting mix of worlds but authenticated by Ben’s history in the elite training and Crossfit space, having competed at the Crossfit Games a couple of times. A goal of Ben’s since he discovered the sport. It was the feeling after competing at the Games that sewed the seeds for RAD, with Ben wanting to create something more, something that gives back and inspires, and a brand seemed like the way to do it. No easy feat to start with shoes, they require significant investment to create something that comes up against the big 5 shoe brands and the many after. So, you sell your gym and double down on creating something that can stand alongside the big players. And that is what Ben did, from having the idea to tracking down the designer of the shoe in Portland and the brand design team in the UK, he has set about creating RAD and it without a doubt caught my eye. In a world of increasing brands, it was the energy of RAD that stood out. It felt like I wanted them and to train in them. What caught my eye is that it has not played on the idea of the heavy burden that training has been portrayed as, the black and white images of dark gyms where you meet your demons. There is a lightness in spirit to RAD reminiscent of 90’s skating of pure enjoyment however heavy the weights are. A connection to others and that we are all out there doing our best and wanting to give it everything we have and enjoying it at the same time. It’s a vibe, and I’m into it. Thanks, Ben for your time. Be quick if you want a pair of shoes, they never repeat a colourway and they sell out quick. So follow them and to hear more about Ben’s journey to the games there are some other good pods out there that focus more on that side of things. As always thanks for listening and your patience in our hiatus these last few months. Life is happening quickly around us. Check out RAD at RAD-global.com and explore the weMove podcast on Spotify, where we have all our episodes covering a wide range of movement, health, and wellbeing areas, from breath work, to food, health to performance. And give it a share. Until next time, from Chris and I peace.

Hey there and welcome to the we move podcast. We have been away for a few weeks again whilst we waited for our next two pods both of which are a bit more gear based, specifically footwear and the ideas behind the two brands. We love brands, and gear, like we love food and farming and we also love the world around us and these two worlds often times are given a bad rep, but brands like food does have a place in the world. Since the farming series and conversations we are regularly having at our sister platform Commonground, where we work with brands and companies to support their communication to making their customers feel seen, safe and heard. We have been connecting some of the dots as to what is being sustainable, is it even a thing or is there something more appropriate and meaningful brands can be pursuing and integrating. And it is in this context that the next two podcasts are based. Perhaps increasingly the way brands are communicating feels like a cover up for the problems that they create as a result of actions they take. The goal of a fully regenerating and circular production cycle is firmly in a brands mind but the current place they and we find ourselves in is a little way off that destination. So it is about doing the best we can where we are and moving forward towards this goal. Having the awareness that every action has a reaction, and every problem solve will create something that might be a future problem enables a person, company or brand to have a mindset shift in how they perceive their place in the world and their journey forward. Step in Hylo Athletics. That is the essence of the Hylo brand, started by former professional footballer Michael Doughty and a couple of shoe industry veterans to create an active footwear brand using materials science to create products that deliver high performance for athletes and low impact for the planet. Hylo is a year in and as Michael will say, it has not always been a straight forward case of following ideals. The initial models whilst up there in sustainability were not so in longevity, creating a conundrum for brands because longevity for the customer is a key part of making a positive impact. Now Hylo shoes are finding their sweet spot and per pair have 50% less impact on the planet than all other brands out there. Some may say 50% too much, but 100% further on than others. Having just secured a further round of investment, they are set to continue making positive impact, and if that combines with supporting people to move then that is never a bad thing in my book. This week is Hylo, next week is RAD Global. A new footwear startup in a different movement space, but doing equally good things to challenge the stagnant status quo. As always thanks for listening, and if you are feeling in the supportive mood, head to wemove.world and click the orange button in the bottom left corner to buy us a ko-fi or click the link in our insta bio @wemoveworld.

Hey there and welcome to the weMove Podcast. Today we are following on from Simon Jeffrey's podcast on resilience taking excuse the pun, a dive into cold water immersion and wild swimming with Gilly MacArthur, who has a long background in the outdoors being a climber and a face within the industry but she's also the co-founder of @bluemindmen and @wonderfulwildwomen both initiatives to get people inspired and maybe excited to discover the benefits of getting in the water, even better when it's cold. GIlly has been and still is a massive advocate of getting in cold water, particularly up in the Lake District, and using it as a way to, as always raise awareness for mental health or mind health as i am preferring to call it. And I just wanted to get another take rather than the obvious ones in the Wim Hof world, etc. Of what getting into cold water really does and how it really benefits. And Gilly has had an interesting history in that she had a big fall whilst climbing over in the states and with that a long journey of rehab to where Gilly is today. What I hadn’t expected from the conversation was to talk about the transferable skills/benefits that come with a practice of cold water immersion, namely keeping you calm under stress and just being able to manage the body's responses to stressful situations which I think everyone would benefit from that skill. So again, it's quite a self-explanatory conversation. It doesn't already doesn't need much more of an intro than that. Gilly’s a lovely person, tough, steely but super gentle in encouraging and chivvying people on and providing some inspiration to get in the cold water. Because we need it, the water, it’s always cold, and you need those people you can trust and lean into to get you to do things that you never quite thought you could. And Gilly is one of those people. Really enjoyed this podcast. I think there's a lot more to come from everyone in this sphere of mindset, mental health, central nervous system awareness, so it's definitely worth a listen. Remember, if you are thinking about supporting a podcast, remember ours!

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast This week we are going into world of mindset and specifically resilience with a chap who’s about as as well versed in resilience as you can be as he served in the UK Special Forces for many years. Simon Jeffries has taken much of what learned during his time at the pointy end of things and combined it with neuroscience and other psychological methodologies to create The Natural Edge, a company and program he has co founded to support individuals and groups to develop robust and resilient mindset practices. Because we all know that the hardest part in anything is quietening the voice inside our head that tells us to stop, or stay in bed a little longer. This is a podcast I have been wanting to have for many months, but timings weren’t quite right, so I’m rally pleased we have gotten the chance to do it.We talked about a bunch of things, the usual resilience aspects but also about emotions and how in order to become truly resilient we have to be aware of our emotions and be able to use them rather than block them out and run away from them which is perhaps often the way that it's seen as the way being in the military. It’s not a long one, but it contains a lot of good information from someone who has not just read a few books on the subject. and if you are interested in what he does, then check out thenaturaledge.com and @the.natural.edge on Instagram. So thanks for listening and until next time.

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast. This week is the last of our series on food following on from Dr. Jenny Goodmans 2 episodes “Staying Alive in Toxic Times”. I have to say it was an unexpected podcast and as is often the way just an unexpectedly good conversation, full of insight from left field and an area that we hadn't necessarily thought about, which followed on from the overall conversations with that we've been having in this series whether Abby Rose of Farmerama, Peter Greig of Piper's farm, or Glen burrows at Ethical Butcher. I say left field because entering the Regenerative Farming rabbit hole, can easily be clouded by a meat-only bias. And remember this all started with talking about “staying alive in toxic times” whilst supporting our individual, personal health, rather than an eating bias/dogma, which is where seems to be the media portrayal of Regen Farming, an opposition of meat versus plants rather than it being about a return to the principles of nature, homeostasis, balance. Which would and do provide the foundation for positive health, growth, everything. We need it all and we need the principles to be able to move accordingly to maintain health. We are nothing without our good health. So, who are we talking to then? Josiah Meldrum, co-founder of Hodmedods, who work with British farmers to produce pulses and grains, contributed to creating a more diverse farming system and diets because of their belief that creating both diverse farming systems and diets is a key to a healthier and more sustainable future, for us all. As a consumer, it would appear similar to a Pipers Farm but for pulses and grains, but like Pipers, it is an approach to creating something which supports the earth, the farms, and the people, rather than simply a hyper refined, processed machine, focussed solely on production volume. And it was a brilliant conversation, we talked about a load of things the geographical nature of food, the political nature of food the cultural nature of food, how East Anglia in the UK is one of the biggest exporters in the world of the fava bean, traveling to the Middle East as a mainstay of their diet, talk about the irony of food miles and how disconnected we are from the potential of the earth we live on to grow food for us. It seems crackers. I guess you go where the demand has been manufactured. This whole series about food has been fascinating for me, I hope it has been the same for you listening. And I think this episode, in particular, has many touchpoints with things that I’m seeing in the press, the media, and the world in general. Food, politics, geopolitics, all of that has an effect on our health. But having a good grasp of the principles is like having a map, compass and knowing how to use them to get home. Sadly too many rely on being told by a voice they will never meet the body of. So enjoy, listen, support Josiah and his Hodmedods network. If you're in the British Isles that is and if not then source a Hodmedods type network on the land you are currently living on. From Chris and me. Thanks for listening. Peace.

Hey there and welcome to the we move podcast. So we've had a few weeks off for the start of the year coinciding with a few weeks of waiting for our guests to become available. So this week we are continuing our conversations about food and farming, all linked with the podcast titled Staying Alive in Toxic Times. and because, food is super important for us all as it is the root of many of the problems regarding health and wellbeing. Todays episode we speak to Glen Burrows founder of Ethical Butcher who we have had on a couple of times, but this episode is specifically to talk about Regenuary which is the initiative for the month of January to raise awareness and encourage us to buy our food from producers who follow a Regenerative approach to farming, because the food is better for us and the process is better for the planet. What always strikes me is how these ideas for eating, getting healthy, or back in shape tend to be just for a month in the year, rather than a way of living and a constant practice. Nothing that we speak about in the episode but it seems to be the way that one idea is pitted against another, even though they all are heading in the same direction and require the same consistent year round action, not just a month. In fact is is Chris speaking to Glen today, and whilst the conversation might be seen as Regenuary vs Veganuary. It is I would say about the relationship we all have with food, that we can have differing views on the way we eat food , but the health of our selves and the planet might actually be better if we worked together in our similarities and respected the differences but realise we need the contrast of difference to move us forward. And maybe if we apply those principles to fitness, to relationships, to money, to health, to family to everything then there is a good chance that improvements will be made. Next week we speak to Josiah Meldrew of Hodmedods, another farmer but from the non meat world and it is a perfect companion to this episode but from another perspective within the same realm. I think the two of them combine quite nicely. And also next week, we release our eight week newsletter programme, which is a weekly series of 3 ideas per week for laying a foundation in movement, health and wellbeing provided by 3 of our good friends and long time collaborators, Barney Gabos of Whitehart CrossFit, Oxygen Advantage Master coach David Jackson and Osteopath and Nature Cure practitioner Alex Johnson. So if you're interested in that, and you're already on our mailing list, you will receive that and if you would like to receive it, sign up to our mailing list on the website wemove.world and that will automatically arrive that to your inbox. Whether you are a seasoned athlete, or a raw beginner, this will be a useful refresher series or an entry point if you are wanting to supplement your training or start something that will make a difference to your life. It's three short videos, and purposefully very few words, but things that you can consume and you can do at home. And then at the end of that eight weeks, the plan is to get people together for a day of training, ideas and food, because quite frankly it’s getting to the time when we need to move together. Thanks so much. And, as always, if you like what we do share it. And if you are considering supporting a podcast, do think of this one. We have a very simple link on our instagram and website where you can shout us “coffee” to keep the podcast moving on. As always, thanks for listening and from Chris and me Peace.

Hey there and welcome to the we move podcast. So today we are speaking to Peter Greig from Piper's farm. Peter is not only a generational farmer but also a generational retailer in the sense that the produce the farms grew, they also sold directly through their own family food retail business. Pipers farm started as something different, by Peter to become a destination for meat that is produced sustainably and in harmony with nature. As a retailer it creates links between ethical producers who they know and trust. They believe in Family farms not factory farms moving away from the industrialisation spreadsheet farming Peter talks about seeing first hand, whilst supporting native breeds of animals bringing the idea of local food even more close to its natural source. All Whilst supporting the idea that as a society it’s important to eat less meat and that we do eat has been raised and produced in a way that has respect for the animal, respect for the farmer and respect for the landscape. the 3 vital components in the world of farming that the industrialisation process soon forgets in favour of a supplier code and a lead time.Pipers are UK based and they are amongst a small but growing number of food retailers doing things differently including Riverford, Ethical Butcher, not to mention the smaller more local farm shops and retailers that can be found in most cities. You might have to change your view of a food retailer mind you as they will surprisingly be selling less clothes, electrical goods and other such stuff in favour of natural, fresh, nutrient dense real food. Pipers Farm have given us a 10% discount code for listeners and friends so if you choose to try something new this month, think of pipersfarm.com and use the discount code WEMOVE at the checkout or click the link on the podcast page on the wemove.world website. And if you choose to support something new this month, then do think of the weMove podcast, where you can shout us a few quid for maintaining and keeping the podcast online.

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast. This week we explore a couple of the themes from our episodes with Dr Jenny Goodman, author of Staying Alive in Toxic Times.Why is food today not what food was when our parents and their parents were growing up? What has happened to cause this shift?It became apparent in the podcasts with Jenny that we would need to get a deeper insight into the reasons why the food we eat today is not as nutrient dense and complete as the food our parents and their parents grew up eating, in order to get more of an understanding as to how this connects with the health of the world around us and ourselves.Jenny mentioned these ideas, and more specifically soil health. I mean what even is soil and what is Regenerative Agriculture all about? Is it all hyperbole and buzzwords like so much in the media. And in the UK scene there is one person we go to, Abby Rose. Abby is a farmer, soil health advocate and co-host/producer of the Farmerama podcast. A super podcast resource on farming today, and what needs to be done for the future. Well worth checking out if you want to go down that rabbit hole, have an allotment or simply want to understand more to make more informed choices about the food you buy and eat.She is a great source of knowledge on soil health, regenerative agriculture, how farming practices have changed and how they are underpinned by a system of perhaps outdated industries and practices, that have come to the end of their efficacy.We talk about this and more, culminating in perhaps the unexpected outcome of who the farming industry actually serves, man or machine.So here we go, part 3 of our staying alive in toxic times series inspired by Dr Jenny Goodmans book. Get your notebooks at the ready, here is Abby Rose.And if you do like this podcast and I think there's so much value in these people like it's, it is really insane. And we enjoy bringing the podcast to you and yes we have had a hiatus over this funny time that we're living through, and if you feel like contributing towards the podcast financially, then you can buy us a coffee on our coffee link an app, and that just keeps us going on the late nights, invariably when we are recording intros, or compiling the podcasts and editing them and putting them out there, so thanks very much peace and love to you all, from Chris and I, we move out.

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast. Part 2 this week of our conversation with Dr Jenny Goodman on how to stay alive in toxic times. For those coming to this podcast at this episode, I would recommend listening to part 1 after or before this one. We are talking health, what it is, what it means to be (healthy) and how we can maintain our health in the world we live in as it now more than ever has many aspects which work against our natural body. Without our health we are nothing, and without having a guide on the journey to good health, it becomes increasingly difficult to get there. Dr Goodmans book, the namesake for this series Staying Alive in Toxic Times is a brilliant guidebook for the journey. Informative and easy to read. A must for everyone who is feeling they have more to give and is a little lost on the way. Dr Goodman is fantastic at articulating her experience both in and out of the medical world. Continuing where we left off, we explore the ideas of diets, fads and fashions of eating, from vegan to carnivore. The seasons of life and eating for the seasons. Sugar, what it does in our body and to ourselves. All leading in to Tox and Detox, how the environment around us is introducing us to more and more toxins and how to detox our bodies for our health rather than for a phase/fashion and finally EMR and how that is affecting us and what we can do about it. Lets get to it, Enjoy part two of Staying Alive in Toxic times with Dr Jenny Goodman. Remember that you can support the podcast by buying us a virtual Ko-Fi to keep us going, see www.wemove.wold/ko-fi From Chris and I Peace

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast.Start of a new series with this podcast. Inspired by our guests book, which when I picked up felt like the eloquent and authoritative documentation of methods, approaches, tips and tricks that I have been learning since 2014 when I realised my own health journey was not perhaps the most enjoyable one.And that has been my understanding of what health is for each of us. It’s a journey, that takes us through different ages, stages and environments and the secret sauce to the enjoyment of the journey is awareness, understanding and an approach which is supple. And in that I am talking about an approach that allows us to move through environments which are less enjoyable, be able to anticipate without fear what is approaching us in life. There will be of course unexpected discoveries along the journey of health but having the requisite skills to navigate out of environments which do not cultivate our Selves and beings is essential. And it is the consequences of the environments we are living in and approach to modern living that our guest Dr Jenny Goodman wrote her book “Staying Alive in Toxic Times”which I believe is the book every household would benefit from having in their life. It’s simple to read and understand, respectful to the seasons of life and a rich mine of information for living in our health potential and enjoying the journey of good health.This podcast is the first part of two with Jenny, and we move through the book, beginning with what health is and why we in this modern time have got our approach perhaps out of sync with what is good for us, where it went wrong historically and then onwards into the connection of the food we eat, the environmental effects on foods nutritional content and its links to farming. And finishing with the guidelines which are appropriate for 99% of us, 99% of the time and how in this modern age supplements can become allies in supporting our health.I’m excited about these podcasts, the direction of the journey this will take weMove and the value to each of us that this knowledge and wisdom delivers.From Chris and me. Peace

Hey there and welcome to the wemove podcast.So, we're now back and looking forward to bringing you the next sort of series of podcasts, we've got two gear ones lined up with a couple of brands that we really fond off for doing very, very different things. And then back to our usual journeying amongst ideas of movement health, well being. So today, we are in conversation with Louis and Staz the founders of Thrudark, a brand which sits at the intersection of outdoor performance, physical training and experience both founders gained in UKSpecial Forces Their prior experience alone makes them interesting guys, but how did two operators get to becoming designers and creators of some of the most advanced and rigorous gear on the market today?Knowing what is needed when it is actually a matter of life and death gives a very clear filter and perspective in which to create something necessary, and this is where the idea started. From experience in some of the most hostile environments in the world. So it's a really interesting perspective underpinned by a level of rigor and a relentless pursuit of making something of value that creates the standard of products that Thrudark does. The design etc might not be your cup of tea, per se, but you know when you look at something that is so good. Regardless of your interest in the field, you can't help but be impressed by it, and I think Thrudark is one of those brands, it's like a modern classic brand underpinned by 100% authenticity. It’s real deal gear for going and doing things in places that will keep pushing you to your limit.Thanks to Louis and Staz for their time and of course Henry for connecting us. Enjoy. And finally to make the editing and recording process smoother, we have our contribution app where you can buy us a coffee or two to keep us going. Easy to do on our website weMove.world or click the link in our inst bio, also weMove.world.From Chris and me, peace.

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast. Another gear one this week where I talking to two founders Lamorna and Tamara of Blue Elvin on a mission to transform a woman's ability to train.Blue Elvin which makes very specific products for power is engineered for women who do functional training, and uses pioneering impact technology to protect the body from barbell bruises and scrapes. Because whilst some invariably guys like to wear their bruises or their bruises, scrapes and gashes with pride. There are people that don't, and I don't blame them because it really hurts when you get your shins caught on the wrong side of a solid object.So they started training back in 2016 but didn't really anticipate the transformative effect that it would have on their lives, they became physically stronger and fitter, and as a result started to think differently, becoming more resilient to problems, more patient to learn complex movements and this filters through to other areas of life.But in their own words, they weren't really prepared for all the scrapes and bruises that they were getting from the movements, kipping pull ups, barbell cycling box jumps, etc. So they did something about it, and have created a great product fusing technology with textiles and an increasingly comprehensive resource for training and in particular women wanting to train.So it's a really good conversation and I always enjoy talking to people who are starting brands, and the challenges they face along the way and how they overcome them, and yeah, they're just lovely people.So, if you are a woman who trains, or anyone who wants something that stops your shins from taking a beating on things like box jumps, check them out.It's been a while coming out. So thank you to Lamorna and Tamara for being patient with us.Enjoy. And if you feel like contributing towards the weMove podcast you can contribute a coffee or two to keep. Chris and I going on the days of editing and recording.To contribute go to weMove.world, and click the link on the homepage, or click the bio link on our Instagram page which is also weMove.world so from us to you. Peace.

Hey there and welcome to the weMove Gear podcast where I talk to brands who have caught our eye by doing something we find interesting or would wear and use. These are not gear reviews per se, rather conversations about the journey from the start to the present and onwards. Inspired by my interest in the people behind the brand, because it is their energy that comes through in the product and makes for something special.And this week I catch up with Ryan Wills to talk about his collaboration with Reigning Champ, his inspiration for the range and returning to his past career with fresh eyes and a new perspective.

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast We have been having many conversations with people as we work out the route forward for the podcast and weMove as a whole. Most we haven’t recorded, but these four seemed right record and put out. In a way they are the types of conversation we have when we are on our travels, following a curiosity but with no real set direction. They are the kind of chat we would have around the kitchen table with a brew. In order of release we speak to Rob Wilson, co founder of Art of Breath, chiropractor and master healer Perry Nickelston, friend of weMove and Nurse Paul Jones and to finish the series, music producer and co founder of the band Killing Joke, Martin Glover aka Youth. We will be releasing podcasts under our Gear series, where we talk to the creators of brands in the realm of movement, health and wellbeing and then returning in a few weeks with an updated format for new and existing listeners. Thanks as always for listening, these conversations are ones that might take a time of reflection for them to filter through and make sense. I know they did and still do for me. Enjoy.
