The Superhero Finder Podcast - Real people, real stories and real power!

Welcome back!

This week I spent some time in the Mattcave with Greyson Grimes - A musician and popular social media personality.

Well, Greyson went viral recently when he was doxxed. If you don't know what that is, let me explain.

Tiktok megastar Elise Myers released a video where she describes a not so great experience with an 'ex' but does not name. Someone then saw the video, found Greyson and basically said a big digital 'its him!'.

With that comes lots of messages and comments, threats and all sorts unfortunately a thing now in the digital world. Its also Illegal in some places to Doxx.

So now that we know what that is.. back to Greyson.

Not only has this situation given him challenges, but it has also given him a platform to tell his story.

Its a story of addiction, forgiveness, inner work and an incredible view on life now that is infectious and has definitely had an impact on me.

You can find Greyson and his music @Greyson.grimes on IG / @greysongrimes on tiktok or simply google his name!

I hope you enjoy, I certainly did!

Welcome Back!

Today I spend some time with Jayybuck, the founder of the Gymbuck fitness and apparel brand, formerley known as Savage Gymwear.

Not everyday do we get to experience and discuss the origin story of such an influential brand .

We discuss how illness was the turning point and catalyst for what was to come.

We look at how for Jay forming a brand so closely aligned to its values has its challenges but also its huge impact.

Within this journey a growing community has been established, with active ambassadors carrying on the brands ethics and values.

All this and some powerful discussions on self development, motivation and resilience from a man who speaks with wisdom and openness.

Hello and welcome back!

Today I have the honour of sharing some time and space with Tiktok creator Star Bickerstaff.

We take a really interesting look into how posting one video on social media can transform life as you know it.

We are in a very digital and different world and its about time that we accepted and embraced it!

Star grew up caring for her father who had Multiple Sclerosis (MS) before he passed.

She was bullied at school, and hasn't always had any confidence in herself.. did that change? When and why?

What about Stars journey into OnlyFans, and using it as a revenue platform whilst still being in control, blowing away some of the negative stigma that comes with it.

Star runs Ultra Marathons, we find out how that started, and also how Star lives with Lupus and a bit about that experience and journey too.

If you would like to follow Star she is a regular on Tiktok and Instagram, as well as her Spicy Page. You can find her @starbeebee12 on all of them.

Hello and lovely to see you again!

Today we are celebrating visual differences with the most amazing guest Amit Ghose.

So.. if you can get us on spotify, lets get visual!

Amit has recently grown quite a following on social media recently, campaigning and advocating for normalising visual differences.

Amit lives with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 also known as NF1 which is a genetic condition that causes tumour to grow along the nerves.

The variance across the condition is huge and it can be apparent anywhere on the body.

For Amit, it was clear from a young age that the differences it would make for him would be plain to see.

So what does it take to grow your own confidence in a world where appearance seems to be at the forefront of judgement?

How big a role does family play in that, and what is Amit doing now to help others?

A fascinating conversation by someone who is clearly using the power of social media in a positive empowering way.

Mentioned within are the 'Changing Faces' Charity which you can find here and Face Equality International which you can find here

Hello there Superhero fan!

I first saw todays guest on the UK show 'Steph's Packed Lunch' and I knew I had to reach out.

Matthew Smith is the co-founder of an incredible non-profit organisation called 'If You Care Share'

Taken from https://www.ifucareshare.co.uk/about

Our journey began in 2005. Daniel O’Hare was 19 years of age when, without any warning, he took his own life. He had no previous history of mental health problems nor had he shown any outward signs of his intentions. 

Daniel was a normal young man, who was extremely popular and well known in his local community. He had a large amount of friends and a family that loved him dearly. He enjoyed football, spending time with friends and socialising. Daniel also had a job managing a family online retail business. To this day his family remain devastated by their loss and are still no nearer to understanding Daniel’s choice.

Daniel’s brothers Matthew and Ben, along with his cousin Sarah (then aged 10, 5 and 12) hoped to do something positive to try and prevent another family suffering a similar experience. They wanted to create a lasting memory to Daniel and started If U Care Share Foundation. 

The family started selling wristbands at football clubs featuring the message if u care share and raised over £50,000 for mental health charities.

In 2011, we became a registered charity with three main aims: Prevention, intervention & support of those bereaved by suicide.

Matthew is an incredibly inspiring individual, what him and his family have created is incredible, I truly hope it can keep growing and expand its reach further across the UK.

Whatever you are doing and wherever you are, I hope you enjoy this episode!

Welcome back superstar!

Now todays episode features Madeleine Black who at a young age was raped, so please if this subject is sensitive to you at all, be kind to yourself and miss it out or make sure you are in the right frame of mind.

"When I was 13, in a flat belonging to my friend’s Mother who was away for the weekend, I was attacked by two teenage American students. They held a knife to my throat and tortured and raped me many times over, for about four or five hours. I begged them to stop, but they just kicked me and laughed at me. I remember wishing they would kill me to make it all end. (Taken from www.theforgivenessproject.com )

This was the late 1970's. It wasn't until 2014 that Madeleine decided to share her story after decades of coming to terms with what happened to her.

Madeleine has since written a book, spoken at a TEDX event and spends her time helping others as a counsellor.

I wont spoil it by saying any more, but if you like a story of someone who can survive the worst? Its right here.

I couldn't continue to make these episodes without you, a special mention to my Patrons.

What will keep us growing is by telling others about some of the magic we have covered, so if you could share your favourite episode that would be amazing!

For anyone who would like to help me reach my goal of recording a studio episode in 2023 you can do, by joining my Patreon which for a small fee you can support me realising my goal and continuing to do these episodes and post production. www.patreon.com/thekindeststrongman
