In this heartfelt and powerful episode of the Returning Warrior Podcast, host Adam Gornall is joined by Steve Philip, a passionate suicide prevention advocate whose personal tragedy has spurred a mission to change the narrative around suicide. Following the loss of his son Jordan in 2019, Steve wound up his successful consultancy business to establish The Jordan Legacy CIC, an organization dedicated to supporting those experiencing feelings of entrapment and hopelessness.

Steve shares his journey from personal grief to public advocacy during this candid conversation. He talks about the 'Zero Suicide Society' concept, a vision for a society that strives to prevent all preventable suicides. The episode delves into Steve's role as co-founder of the Baton of Hope UK tour, the largest suicide awareness initiative in the UK, and why he chose to step back to focus on his well-being and the work of The Jordan Legacy.

Also in focus is The Jordan Legacy's ground-breaking action-research project conducted in 2023 to determine whether we can significantly reduce suicide numbers in the UK. The research results, published on what would have been Jordan's birthday, form a poignant backdrop to our discussion.

This episode is a moving exploration of loss, resilience, and hope. It offers an insightful look at Steve's tireless commitment to a cause that affects thousands of individuals and families across the UK and the world.

Join us for a conversation that is both intimate and inspiring as Steve shares his transformative journey and his enduring hope for a future where suicide is prevented, not mourned.

This episode holds a special place in our hearts, as it not only offers a wealth of information about the environment and temperate rainforests on our isles, but it also marks the beginning of a beautiful partnership that has led to the establishment of Save A Warrior UK's spiritual home.

This week's episode see's me in on-air with Sally Orange. Sally Orange is an endurance runner, adventurer & mental health campaigner.

 She is the only person on the planet to complete a marathon on every continent in fancy dress (as different pieces of fruit!), which gives you a flavour of her colourful personality. She holds multiple Guinness world records and world firsts, has run over 70 marathons, completed 8 full Ironman triathlons and has completed 22 years exemplary service in the Royal Army Medical Corps as a Physiotherapy Officer. This included an operational tour of duty in Afghanistan.

It brings me great joy to present Sally today with her smile, personality and account of her Heroes Journey.

It brings me great pleasure to present Jon Hilton on this week's episode of the Returning Warrior.

In this episode, you will hear Jon's account of his hero's journey and the hurdles he has had to overcome in his journey to date. Jon's words, "I was a cocky little kid from a council estate", meant he had a fantastic rapport with his instructors on Basic Training. His story about the expensive pencil is hilarious. Unfortunately, Jon suffered an injury during Training which stopped his 15-year career. Completing several Operational Tours during his service, he recalls his time in the military with fond memories of the camaraderie.

Does Jon's story inspire you?
