‘Rolling with the punches’ comes naturally for Pharrell Shaymar, he wore plenty of those (metaphorically) growing up throughout this crazy little thing we call life. Albeit he came out on top forging his reputation as a successful, passionate and skilled boxing trainer known as ‘The Pad Technician’.... And well,  one of my best friends.   In this episode Pharrell does what Pharrell does best and bears his soul, sharing his personal journey as a transgender man. He’s resilient, he’s empathetic, he’s tough, he’s hilarious, he’s spiritual, he’s quirky and let's be honest, he's damn good looking... So sit back and enjoy this banter on all things vulnerability and courage.  Pharrell, I can’t thank you enough for trusting me with your story all these years and letting me be part of telling it here today.  Follow Pharrell on Instagram @tpt_the_pad_technician.

Former Member of the Special Operations Group, Anti Terror Unit, Bomb Squad, Bounty Hunter, TV Star, Witness & Personal Protection...  these are just a few titles old mate 'Flipper' over here holds.  There's not much in the world of the elite, the exciting and the incredibly dangerous that Gary hasn't lived through.   He's back again after such a great response to EP1 where we covered a little of his background and experiences.  Today we talk about what it's like to be bodyguard for people such as Pope John Paul II, The Queen, Charles and Diana, Claudia Schiffer and many more big names you'll all know and love.  Always entertaining, I love a chat with Flipper... we carry on, we laugh and his perspective despite the things he has seen and done is refreshingly lighthearted and humorous.
