This one’s really heartbreaking. So if you don’t want to cry then don’t watch.

Richie was a prisoner in his own home. Literally.

He was starved, neglected and was used as a prostitute from a young age. The battles and the suffering that this man has gone through is something that made me feel genuinely sick listening too.

But to listen to his story and where he is now is remarkable.

This man ran to Paris, and now he’s about to run back from Madrid.

But for me, I needed to know why a lad from the north east of England chose to embark on these wild physical challenges.

I’ve interviewed over 130 people now, and I know that people who achieve true greatness have battled some serious stuff in their life and this story is no different.

There’s tears, darkness and sheer excellence that Joe shows in this podcast.

As politics is going mental right now, especially in the North East I thought I had to get on the councillor of the Hendon Ward in Sunderland, Stephen Elms.

Stephen isn’t your average councillor though - he’s a rapper.

His story is actually heartbreaking and why he got into politics definitely makes sense.

I sit down with Ex professional footballer Simon Ramsden.

This local lad breaks his life story down. Right back from playing for Sunderland, his childhood dream to being let go by Mick Mccarthy.

He then went on to play for various other clubs and played in the champions league.

It all came crashing down when his mental health deteriorated, to the point where he ate glass on a night out with friends.

What he did after was crazy.

Now - a personal trainer with his brand @sr_fitnesslife he is building a coaching business which is changing the lives of many BUT…

The end of the month he will doing 37 hours of training with no sleep, all for the passing of his dear friend who lost his battle with cancer.

A beacon of hope for people of the north east.

Good episode this.
