Two years since the podcast launched, we're catching up with our first guest from the world of fitness, Matt Gleed. Matt has worked in the fitness industry for nearly 25 years, providing a range of services from individual personal training, through to representing global fitness brands such as TRX and Matrix Fitness as an education specialist working with other personal trainers.

Matt has a knack for inspiring and motivating the people around him, winning numerous awards in recognition of this.In this episode, we catch up on Matt's latest role as Community and Leisure Manager for Central Swindon North Parish Council, where a key goal is to strengthen the diverse community through various fitness activities.

Just before taking on this new challenge last year, Matt suffered an acute Achilles tendon rupture, leaving him with restricted mobility.

Listen in to hear how Matt has adapted his communication approach working in a new role, his thoughts on communication strengths and weaknesses across age groups and, of course, we chat about coffee drinking habits and canine antics!
