Guess who's back... In this first episode of the new season I'm joined by rap sensation Eminem who kindly offered to spit some rhymes at the start of this week's offering to kick things off.
In essence this episode is reflection of the last twelve months. I also talk about life after a cancer diagnosis and how it is coming to terms with the treatment and the effects that has on the mind, body and soul. I share the experiences of fellow cancer survivors I've met during the last year. I also pay tribute to kneeboarder Kyle Abrahams who sadly passed away recently. -
In this episode I talk to personal trainer Mike Tooth about how he found his place in the world. Amongst other things we spoke about Iron Man events, 90s Alpha Males, ego and approaching life from a place of abundance.
The first podcast I’ve done not in my studio (the kitchen) and also the first time I’ve recorded an episode following Strong First training. Let me know your thoughts in the comments or reviews. -
Episodes manquant?

In this episode I’m joined by ex motorcycle rocker, Doc Martin exporter, surf shop owner and local councillor Oliver Monk. The longest episode to date, we talk about growing up in the 70/80s, how he set up his surf shop empire in Manchester and what he did after he’d had his shops. An interesting insight into the surf industry in the 90s. Please like, subscribe and share and let us know your thoughts in the comments or reviews.

In this episode I’m joined by my wife - to talk about how it is living with someone who’s told they have cancer and that that person is also going to have their arm amputated.
The first episode where I’ve been joined by a guest. Enjoyed having a guest on and it was really inter to hear ‘the view from the other side.’ -
This episode begins with some poetic nonsense, an Otter with a Trotter. The theme of this episode is anniversaries. More of the usual waffling and wittering - and this week is no different.
-
In this episode I share a few tales from the Saturday of the Spring Classic. There’s more tuneless singing, more free t-shirt Indo Board challenge giveaways and plenty of mistakes where I can’t get my words out.
-
In this episode I talk about the Spring Classic giving shout outs to all the people who’ve been helping me along on this journey. How the grooms brought the stoke and some of the people I met on day one. The wife and I had an evening out last night so you might be able to tell I’m feeling the after effects of midweek cocktails.
-
So in this episode I talk about finding acceptance, knowing when to fight and when to find acceptance. There’s a few little tales thrown in there too and an update on my dealings with the DWP - which I’m hoping isn’t as dry as it sounds. Let me know your thoughts in the comments or reviews.
-
In this Episode I speak about a recent trip to London to meet Wilfred Emmanuel Jones, a.k.a The Black Farmer. What I’ve learnt from Wilfred’s book, Jeopardy and how I’m hoping to embrace jeopardy and being an outsider to achieve my dreams.
-
In this episode I talk about the many things I’m grateful for and an inspiring episode of the BBC documentary Storyville.
-
In this episode I speak about things you might find hard to do when you’ve only got one arm. How I’m getting on learning to surf again and what I’m learning along the journey. I also make numerous references to my new online shop. Before sharing my surfing and business analogy.

This is a re-recorded version as I’d forgotten to plug in the mic 🙈 Much better sound quality 👌🏽🪓💪🏼
Busy week with it being the Easter holidays and having the kids at home - so bit late with showing up this week, but just about made my own Thursday deadline.
Tried to weave in a few yarns amongst the fabric of speaking about what it’s like being one of them disableds. Give it a listen, let me know your thoughts and if you like it - be grateful if you can share the pod.

In this Ronseal style episode, I talk about what it’s like telling people; your wife, your children, your parents and your friends - that you have cancer. I talk a lot about the lead up to getting a confirmed cancer diagnosis.
I also share further Northern Colloquialisms for Hello, a big plug for our sponsored walk ‘The Big Wander,’ plus updates on my efforts to get back surfing. This episode culminates with an exciting cliff hanger regarding a recent trip to London. -
In this episode, I talk about my first time back in the sea surfing an adapted kneeboard. I go on to explain the origins of my brand, Chopped - the rationale and reasons behind it. There’s also an explanation around the movement and Tribe I’m hoping to create associated to the brand ethos of Strength through Vulnerability.
-
In this episode, I talk about the moments immediately before surgery and then coming round after the operation. My initial thoughts and feelings, and what it’s like waking up minus an arm.
Recording podcasts is all new to me, so I’m learning. You’ll notice an improvement on the sound midway through this episode. I’ve learnt - admittedly this came halfway through recording this, a little trick - which vastly improves the sound quality.
Rest assured listeners, future pods will benefit from this learning. - Montre plus
