On this episode I sit down with Anthony Serafino, President of New Jersey-based Exp. Group LLC, a multinational organisation which for over 40 years has managed a production, exportation, and distribution network of fresh food across South and Central America and the Caribbean.
It's an interesting episode as food is all around us but how much do we really understand about it's journey to our plates?
We talk everything about the process of food production and distribution and the things people think they know but actually dont.
It just so happens that Anthony now happens to be a minority shareholder in Bromley Football Club as well so it made sense that we talked about his crossover into the world of football as well.

On this episode I sit down with Jamaica football aficionado and current JFF Media Officer, Simon Preston.
When it comes to Jamaican football history and the importance the Reggae Boyz have played in the cultural zeitgeist of Jamaica there can be no better individual to sit down with and chop it all up.
How can a small island like Jamaica have such a cultural sway in the world of football when it has only been to one World Cup in 1998?
We discussed that, the emerging role of the Jamaican diaspora and so much more.

Michelle has been on a life journey that has taken her from Occupational Therapist via her own cancer diagnosis to a eventual life calling through the medium of Feng Shui.
Michelle is a beautiful soul and this is a heartfelt story that speaks to how helping to facilitate healing so that everyone can be their best version of themselves is maybe the real purpose of life itself.
In truth this episode is about so much more than Feng Shui, Michelle and I have known each other for over 15 years when we were random housemates in our younger years. This episode was really two friends sitting down and talking about life. I hope you enjoy it.

58 min - The one with the sportscaster ft Alex JordanWelcome to Episode 15 of the Game is the Game.I've been fortunate in life to meet an array of inspirational individuals across varied professions. The Game is the Game is an opportunity for them to tell their stories and hopefully inspire others to find their calling.
On this episode I sit down with international sportscaster, Alex Jordan
It almost seems reductive to narrow Alex Jordan down to 'just' being a sportscaster as she has done so much more than that.
From leaving Barbados and backpacking solo across Europe to being an award winning 1Xtra radio host to the Alex Jordan Morning Show and eventually sportscasting around the world.
It's a fascinating insight into a journey in sportscasting and presenting that was far from conventional and as Alex freely admits also involved being in the right place at the right time. Yet even that would be a disservice to the path she has taken and travelled.
Lock in for this episode - you'll love the story told in only a way that Alex could tell it.

1 hr 11 min - The one about perseverance ft Callum Reynolds (professional footballer)Welcome to Episode 14 of the Game is the Game.I've been fortunate in life to meet an array of inspirational individuals across varied professions. The Game is the Game is an opportunity for them to tell their stories and hopefully inspire others to find their calling.
On this episode I sit down with professional footballer, Callum Reynolds
Callum has a unique football story that saw him go from non-league football to the Premier League and back to non-league football with no stops in between.
A journey that could have broken him instead saw him forge a successful professional career at the top of the non-league game.
It's a fascinating insight into the journey of a pro footballer but outside the glamorous lights of top flight football.

Illiyin is a midwife, birth debrief facilitator, author and mother of two. She qualified as a midwife in 2017 and went on to work in a busy south London hospital. Upon leaving clinical work she embarked on a journey to support those in the perinatal trauma.
In this episode we spoke about everything from difficulty with conception, to miscarriage, still birth and difficult birth, postnatal, infant feeding and relationship difficulties.
This was an eye-opening and raw conversation that was as much a learning experience for me as I hope it will be for the listener.
