One of the most tricky things growing up is sticking with and following your life ambition. Elliott is a great example of not giving up and wanting to achieve the goals he has set out for himself in work. Since a very young age growing up on the island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands he has dreamed of becoming a pilot.

Applying for flight school while studying for his A levels in the UK he has now after hard work and determination qualified and gained his comercial Pilots licence at just the age of 19. He shares his experience and advice to young people the same age and to the listeners of how you can adapt to keep going. A high flyer (excuse the pun) but also a hard working young lad joins us for this episode.

Midlands Air ambulance is one of the 21 air ambulance charities in the UK. Funded solely on donations in many different forms. It brings hospital standard critical care paramedics and doctors to the scene of an accident/injury within minuets. Also giving the option to airlift the patient to hospital and get there in record time. Henry visits Strensham airbase one of the three the charity has and interviews two charity reps Dianne and Nichole as well as a critical care Paramedic Will.

Nigel Bradford is a great example of passions. Joining the Navy at a young age and getting stuck into all aspects it had to offer Nigel gives us a great incite of what and why he has pursued the passions and careers he has. Not only serving in the Navy and having many stories to tell from it (including a story about a now ex royal) he then later went on to re train as a comercial Pilot. Flying thousands upon miles and obtaining the best knowledge there is to have. But most importantly enjoying it! After having an amazing career which he goes more into depth in the episode, Nigel follows more aspirations of becoming a writer/journalist and editor for many different organisations including the famous MOG magazine. A man with so much to tell and life stories to pass on so is a real honour to have on DOTFP.

This weeks guest and last in the series is Luke. Luke Barrow was living the high life out in Australia a couple of years ago. But one day a sudden phone call from his dad tipped his life upside down. Luke was told that his mum's cancer had spread and he needed to come home urgently. Within a week Luke's mum sadly passed away. Leaving Luke of course very down mentally, he decided to bottle it up but that didn't help the problems he was facing at all.

It was a short time later while chatting with his mates over a pint that Luke started to open up to them on how he was mentally coping. At the same time though some of his other mates started to open up aswell. This sparked the idea for Luke to turn this into a positive hence creating his own men's mental heath charity Two pints deep. Since the creation of two pints deep it has expanded hugely with thousands of people interacting with the charity. I chat to Luke on how we can all make a positive change in the mental health and men's mental health sector. A great way to finish the series.
