Episode 26

Identity; the masks we wear. 

Today's episode features two guests, Danny Gray, founder of War Paint, a men's makeup brand, and Darren Eadie, former Norwich City player. 

In August of this year, Norwich City announced a partnership with War Paint, as they aim to promote choice for men when it comes to pride in their appearance. 

Danny Gray suffered with body dysmorphia as a teenager, which caused anxiety and depression in later life, which prompted him start war paint, we talk to Danny about their ethos as we explore the idea of identity. Darren Eadie, who's identity was intrinsically linked to his football career, had his childhood dream ripped away from him at the age of 28, after succumbing to injury.
