Thomas ‘Hal’ Robson-Kanu is the footballer who scored probably Wales’ most famous goal of all time against Belgium in the quarter-finals of Euro 2016. The theme of this episode is the power of gratitude. And we are not just talking about being grateful for the good things that happen to you – but being grateful for every moment, irrespective of its content. From the sheer miracle of existence and the human body – through to being accepting of - and grateful for - adversity.

We also talk about not looking outside ourselves for fulfilment, success, approval and happiness… as well as the power of bringing awareness to our thoughts and feelings, and the impact they have. While Thomas hasn’t officially hung up his Premier League boots, he does have another focus in the form of his own health drink company, the Turmeric Co. It was inspired by his own significant adversity and injury troubles as a teenager.

Finally, a huge thanks to my sponsors, Puresport. Their range of CBD and Nootropics supplements have had a significant impact on how I sleep, manage stress, and focus throughout the day. I can’t recommend them enough. I have many friends and family who have tried their huge range of products - and now swear by them.
