Hear Me, See Me Podcast

Hear Me, See Me Podcast with Steve Kerridge. Master martial artist and Bruce Lee authority.

This episode's guest is another amazing human being, Steve Kerridge. I’ve been friends with Steve for over 40 years, and he is genuinely one of life’s exceptional people. He has devoted his life to martial arts while giving so much back to his local community.

Through the Essex Kickboxing Academy, Steve has created somewhere young people—particularly those who may be less privileged—can feel a real sense of belonging. It teaches them discipline, strong principles and values that can stay with them throughout their lives. Steve has been doing this work for many years, yet he remains incredibly humble. I don’t think he fully realises just how important he is to the community or how many lives he has influenced.

Steve is also a highly respected authority on the life and legacy of Bruce Lee. He has written numerous books, has the full support of the Bruce Lee Foundation for his work, and is undoubtedly the person to go to for anything Bruce Lee.

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with my old friend and share his remarkable story.

This episodes amazing guest Celebrity hairdresser / confidence creator, Louis Byrne.

Louis is one of the most wonderful, kind, resilient, creative, driven people I have ever met. Our chat is honest open and raw and I thoroughly recommend giving it listen.

Louis is the Founder of I Can, I Am, I Will CIC — a creative wellbeing organisation built on one belief : Reflection is Revolutionary.

For nearly 30 years, he has worked at the highest level of the hair and creative industries — but what he saw behind the scenes was clear:

people are struggling, disconnected, and carrying more than they’re given space to process.

He design accessible, low-cost programmes that use creativity, reflection, and community to improve mental health, confidence, and life outcomes — particularly for young people and underrepresented groups.

Hear Me, See Me Podcast with Rachel Williams, founder of Stand Up To Domestic Abuse.

This one really got me !

Rachel's story is really horrific but so important because of its huge message of hope. Rachel's perpetrator was her husband of 18 years who after finally getting away from him shot her with a shotgun. I thought it could not get any worse until she made the final reveal to me which stopped me in my tracks.

Rachel has turned such a life changing experience into a way of helping others going through the same thing.

Here is more about the amazing Rachel.

After 18 years in an abusive relationship, Rachel was shot and severely injured by her violent partner in 2011.

Rachel spent several weeks in hospital and now lives with life altering injuries.

Rachel is founder of SUTDA, (Stand Up to Domestic Abuse) a Patron for WCID – What Can I Do and Ambassador for Locality Solutions, Co-Creator of Project Titanium. She also won a St David’s Award in 2020, and a winner of Crime Fighter of the Year 2023. She campaigns tirelessly and is committed to ending domestic abuse.

She has 5 successful petitions on change.org with a combined 1 million signatures. One of her petitions helped to get non-fatal strangulation on the statue book which Is now a stand-alone-offence.

She is also a qualified IDVA, Rachel also runs an online awareness Facebook page called Stand Up to Domestic Abuse.

Hear Me, See Me Podcast with Catherine Flay, CEO of Restart-Lives.

Catherine Flay is the CEO of Restart Lives, a small London homelessness charity operating in East and West London with the aim of breaking the cycle of homelessness. Before taking up the role, Catherine was Operations Lead at the Institute of Art and Ideas, and previously an academic at Cambridge University and Birkbeck.

This episode is a perfect example of when I enjoy it as much as listeners and subscribers do. Podcasts are a wonderful opportunity of getting to know someone who you may see a lot of but not always have the time to really sit down and have a good conversation.

I really respect Catherine and the charity she heads and am grateful to have the chance to shine a light on her and the great work they do.

Hear Me, See Me Podcast with Gary Hayes, Co-Founder of PTSD999.

As a diagnosed PTSD sufferer, I was excited to have Gary Hayes from PTSD999 on the podcast. It was everything I expected and more. We had an amazing chat and at the end felt we had made a really brotherly bond.

PTSD999 was set up in 2015 by friends Gary and Simon, both of whom served within the Military and Public Sector.

As a result of their duties both have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

They realised that there wasn't any widely available accessible support for those serving, or who had served, within the Emergency Services, and their families, living with PTSD.

So they set about creating an organisation that could provide support, source and fund treatment, training and raise awareness of the impact PTSD has on a persons life.

PTSD999 has been operating as a not-for profit social enterprise since formation.

​

We are committed to supporting our Emergency Service workers and our aim is to ensure that awareness of PTSD within the Emergency Services grows and the Stigma associated with it, and other mental health conditions, is broken.
