Chancing My Arm

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 our recent 26 mile coastal hike, The Big Wander. My feelings around taking Chopped out onto the streets. How my visit to my sons class was and the results from my most recent CT Scan.

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 give an insight into the savagery of sarcoma but how as a result of of my own sarcoma experience I’ve met some genuinely good people. Tribes I am a part of ones that might not be for me. There’s also some hopelessly out of tune singing and some woeful Spanish. 

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 week’s instalment I talk about what it’s like being disabled, sword brandishing robbers, big waves in the bay but not for me and random acts of kindness from a bloke called Whiskey. 

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.
