Jamie is a graphic designer from Gloucestershire who nearly died in a horror car crash in 2018.

The experience fueled him with his friend, Chris Boulton, a photographer, to create Soul Kind magazine: 

The pair traveled across the UK and the USA interviewing and photographing inspiring and insightful men and women to get a sense of how to make the most of life.

The magazine is out - please order via the website: https://www.soulkindpeople.co.uk/

Running through a Footballers In The Mind's Eye scenario with one of my best friends, Everton fan, Dan Kidd aka Pughie Wannabager.

The scenario was posted on my twitter - @eddraper81 -  on August 24 if you want the visual reference.

People's contributions lead us on a mazy conversation about 90s footballers and teams. 

Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte lost to Alexander Povetkin at the weekend.

Just a few thoughts here on why I still believe Dillian's life story and boxing success remains inspirational irrespective of the result.

Also a nod to a friend of the podcast Isaac Chamberlain's return to the ring after nearly two years out.

Below is a football scenario I posted on twitter - @eddraper81 - on July 30 2020. On this podcast I run through my social media friend's suggestion to the hypothetical. Please let me know if you enjoy this. I'm reviving it as a friend, who's a similar age to me, said it fired up his imagination thinking of current players and former stars.

Footballers In The Mind's Eye:

Picture a two-footed player? 

Who'd you see?

For me, it's still David Ginola. But Mason Greenwood pops up in the brain a close second. 

(listen to podcast for other suggestions to the scenario). 

Josh Thomson was a longtime contender in the UFC and Bellator in mixed martial arts.

He was a lightweight champion in Strikeforce.
