In this episode Hassan joins "Tackling Minds" main man Dave Lyons direct from the squared circle of none other then Tackling Minds Ambassador and multi time World Champion boxer Ricky Hatton's gym.

Dave's incredible work forming the organisation "Tackling Minds" has received a huge amount of accolades and achievements since he started. From leading research proving the values of fishing as therapy, fishing now being prescribed on the NHS through to live TV appearances, Mortimer and Whithouse "Gone Fishing" as well as a honorary award from King Charles himself, Dave has achieved so much. This all comes off his own struggles with addiction and mental health and he talks about his very lowest moments as well and how he, via fishing and his passion for it managed to turn it all around.

Dave also talks about his own fishing journey and how his north west roots run through it all. One thing is for sure Dave is incredibly candid, open and brutally honest about everything. There's shocking stories, humorous as well as cold hard facts about his life and recovery. One thing is for sure Dave is an incredibly inspiring individual and this podcast will leave you with the same infectious inspiration.
