My guest on the podcast this week is Tom Hooper, someone I have only met a few months ago but have been inspired by his journey. He has been described as a force of nature, someone that is motivated, determined, focused and a larger-than-life character.. Getting to know him and following him on social media I know he has had his own personal struggles with mental health and we both share a passion to change the narrative out there, especially amongst men that vulnerability is a sign of weakness.
I believe everyone has a story to tell and sometimes the lessons we learn in the harsh reality of life can be applied in business as well, such as resilience, determination and a positive mindset. With the podcast I have always asked my guests to come with an open mind and be as honest and authentic as possible. During this conversation Tom did just that. He shared his story from growing up in an orphanage, getting involved in drugs and alcohol, being arrested too overdosing, but ultimately making a choice to use the negative situations in his life as fuel to motivate him and start a new chapter.
At the time of recording this episode he was due to launch his new business, but has since been thrown a new curve ball and circumstances have changed, we therefore had to cut some elements of the episode out. After listening to his journey and what he has been through, this is just another challenge that I know he will face head on and will bounce back to start a new faze of his life and write the next chapter.
This is one of the most raw, brutally honest episodes`I have recorded and I am grateful to Tom for sharing his story so openly. This hopefully will inspire others that are maybe feeling in a dark place or going through a difficult period, to hopefully they find the strength to reach out and ask for support in whatever form that may be, and realise that we do have a choice.
