Trystan is the Executive Lead, Primary and Specialist Academies, at the Venturers Trust where he oversees six Primary Schools and a Special School, which has two sites.

Trystan has chaired national conferences and led on many ground-breaking initiatives such as “The Extreme Classroom” and been the subject of numerous documentaries filmed and aired by the BBC, both nationally and globally. He has also achieved recognition at government level as a National Leader of Education, for his commitment to the highest standards of care and education for vulnerable young people.

In a really interesting discussion, they cover subjects including the effects Covid-19 has had on children and staff, their mental health and their emotional well-being, and Trystan’s thoughts on the Government’s advice for schools during lockdown.

In this week's episode Extreme Leader Neil Counihan talks to his old school friend, journalist and Chair of BBC Children in Need, Rosie Millard.

In the summer of 2018 Neil came out of a tube station, picked up a newspaper and read that Rosie was recovering from a huge brain tumour - so got back in touch.

It's fair to say that in the last few years Rosie has been through some pretty tough times and
in this podcast talks about her treatment and utter relief when the tumour was successfully removed.

On a lighter note she also tells Neil about her love of marathon running and her passion for both the City and people of Hull.

This is a great episode about leadership and overcoming obstacles.

Welcome back - In this episode Wayne Hoyle and Alan Chambers bring you an Extreme Leaders special.

In a wide ranging discussion they are joined by Jason Fox or 'Foxy', who as many of you know features as an instructor on Channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins.

This week the team also welcome Sean Taylor to the pod.

As a Royal Marine commando, Sean Taylor has leapt from planes, trekked through jungles and fought in Afghanistan. After 22 years in the military Sergeant Taylor retired in 2005.

He came up with an idea to entice adrenaline junkies like himself: Zip World, an adventure playground for grown-ups in North Wales with zip wires to take them downhill at speeds of up to 120 mph.

“It is the closest you can get to skydiving without jumping from a plane.”

With 71 caps for his country Moody has a host of accolades to his name including two Six Nations titles, seven Premiership triumphs and two Heineken Cup wins; the former England Captain is a true world rugby legend.

Moody was known for the enthusiasm with which he played the game, his willingness to chase down opponents and his ability to compete for possession at restarts, earning him the nickname "Mad Dog" from teammates and supporters

In May 2014, Lewis and his wife Annie set up The Lewis Moody Foundation, inspired by rugby fan Joss Rowley Stark, to fund ground breaking research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours and gives families a day out of the ordinary to lift spirits and create special memories.

Since retiring Lewis’ public profile in the UK and world-wide, both in sport and more widely in business, continues to grow.
