The Odyssey Effect

On today's episode I am joined by fitness coach and entrepreneur Chris Rigby.

Throughout today's chat we talk about Chris's Journey, from the car accident he had as an 18 year old, which changed his perspective and prompted him to join the police for 7 years. We also discussed his decision to move abroad, as well as all things fitness, embracing new challenges, overcoming hard times, the path he's taken and the lesson's he's learnt in his life that have shaped him.

A really great conversation, with someone who is doing great things in the fitness industry.

My guest today is the inspirational Henry Fraser.

In 2009 at age 17, Henry became paralysed from the shoulders down after an accident on holiday with friends in Portugal.

Since his accident, Henry has achieved some remarkable accolades, he is a bestselling author for his two books, “The Little Big Things” and the “The Power in You”. Henry is also a professional mouth artist and a motivational speaker.

During the conversation we spoke about the accident and how his life changed. We also spoke about the lessons he has taken from his experiences and how his mindset has now changed to one of strength, resilience and fortitude.

This is definitely one of the most inspiring conversations I have ever had. Henry teaches us to enjoy those moments of happiness and what the power of everyday gratitude can do for you.

I am honoured to share this conversation with you.

My guest on the podcast this week is three time Muay Thai World champion and UK number 1 Charlie Peters.  

This is a great conversation on developing a strong, resilient and focused mindset to face life's challenges.  

We spoke a lot on how we can become a better version of ourselves every day, by leaning  out of our comfort zones and never being afraid to fail.
