Series 2, Episode 1. Francesc Miralles is our first guest of the series. Himself and his co-author created a magnificent book, Ikigai, a Chinese philosophy for a happy and fulfilled life. It sold in 60 countries more than 2.5 million copies and I am not surprised at all. I first came across Francesc and the book Ikigai in August 2022 on holiday. I thoroughly enjoyed the book to the point I reached out and asked Francesc to please join me to share your words of wisdom on my podcast at which he said yes. So a big thank you and welcome to Francesc Miralles for joining me and sharing his words with you all today. 

Harry has always had a passion for anything creative. Once he knew that being a presenter at BBC Radio One was his dream he began to start his journey to reaching this dream as soon as he could.

Harry was always one to be showing his friends new music, so starting off being a reporter for BBC Introducing in the West Midlands was the best step for him.

He started as a Broadcast assistant at BBC CWR in July and loves it.

Working two days a week as the breakfast presenter for Switch radio as well means he can finally have an outlet to chat rubbish, play silly games and play great music.

Harry continues to work towards his goal, and takes a step closer everyday.

I'm Flo (the 'Flo' behind 'FloFit!), a mobile Personal Trainer from Sutton Coldfield. I train over 35 wonderful clients per week from the comfort of their own homes and host a popular weekly bootcamp for the local community. FloFit began in May 2019 following my own health and fitness journey. Back in January 2018 I decided it was time to make a change to my life for the better and I set out to lose weight, get fit and enter the ever growing health and fitness world. At the time, I wanted to lose weight for my sister's wedding abroad in May 2018. My love for fitness quickly grew and I realised that I wanted to turn my passion into my career. Since starting out, I have trained many people with all different goals and abilities but one thing they have all had in common is wanting to be healthier, better versions of themselves. Lockdown last year proved to be a positive thing for my business and I spent my time hosting live workouts for my own social media channel as well as for some well-known brands such as Pretty Little Thing and Foodspring. So far this year I've led monthly fitness challenges and an online subscription service to keep the FloFit family constantly growing. My clients are at the heart of my business and I put a lot of my success down to their constant support keeping me feeling drived and always raring to go. It has been a whirlwind of a journey so far but very much a wonderful one. There is plenty more to come!

Oliver is a long term sufferer of severe OCD, Anxiety and Depression and has been for around 13 years. His main issue being intrusive, negative thoughts that take control of his mind and make it very difficult to focus on general day to day tasks. This results in him feeling incredibly anxious, confused and at times scared. Struggling with this on a daily basis is extremely draining and often causes him to spiral into a sad state of depression.

Oly turned to running as a form of therapy on the 28th July 2017 and has not looked back. The feeling he gets after a run is irreplaceable. Yes, it doesn’t last long but when you feel like he does, you live for the moment, and for that moment everything’s ‘OK’. The decision he made that day changed his life. In fact, he truly believes it saved his life.

Oly is now on a mission to share his story far and wide, in the hope to inspire others struggling in silence to speak out, seek help and fight back. Also, to educate people on one of the most debilitating diseases out there, OCD. An illness so often generalised and trivialised in the media.
