It was fascinating to hear how he honed his creativity for writing and performing lyrics then how he managed to seamlessly weave that process through almost everything else he's done.

2022-06-161h 33Antifragile RadioEpisode 4 with Andrew TraceyAndrew Tracey really is a champion of sharing, if you've been following him you'll have seen his constant rhetoric of showing what you CAN do rather than focusing on what you can't.

He's also built a reputation of completing some pretty impressive challenges, one of them being an annual 24 'hero' workouts in 24 hours to help raise m...
2022-06-111h 08Antifragile RadioEpisode 3 with Michael WeetmanWhat a thoroughly enjoyable conversation with a solid human who holds many of the qualities that I one day hope to have.

Antifragile RadioAntifragile Radio Episode 1We're told to write/talk about what we know, well one of the things I know is anxiety, 35 years of it to be precise. So I'm kicking off episode 1 of this podcast with when mine began up to present day.
This is not a cry for help, neither am I fishing for virtual hugs, this is my experience of anxiety and how I believe there are many positives that can come from statistically the most common form of mental disorder, globally. If any of what I talk about makes sense to you, feels familiar I'd love to...
