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

Welcome!

I have a question for you. If you had to live with one person for the rest of your life, what strengths would they have?

We ask this and much more in todays episode with an old friend of mine, Lucy.

Today Lucy is a successful PT in the North West of the UK, but that wasn't always the dream.

Attending a dance and performing arts college was supposed to be the career starter.

Until how she looked mattered more than her talent.

Herein we have a very open and honest story of resilience, adventure and reflection.

We discuss last minute wild adventures, finding peace in being alone and much much more.

A true superhero and a role model for girls and women alike.

If you would like to speak to Lucy about anything, or follow her journey you can on instagram @lucytomlinsonpt , and search by name on Facebook.

Please do share, subscribe and follow this Podcast, it really enables me to do more of what I love! Don't forget to check out the past episodes too, there is something there for everyone.

She only went and smashed it.. but I wont spoilt it for you..

We don't only talk strongman though, i wanted to know what motivates Gabi to what she does?

From joining a local gym, to stepping out into the world as a full time strength athlete at the top of the game in a few short years.

What is behind this story, we discuss what motivates Inez to do what she does today.

The realities of what life is like as an athlete and a mum whilst also giving back to the community and helping grow the sport of strongwoman in the USA.

There are some lesser known facts inside, some really open and honest moments and a clear passion for the sport.

Welcome back!

Today I spent some time with Geoff Render, who one day without warning suffered a stroke whilst driving.

An incredibly active and fit individual, it just shows that it can happen to anyone.

We discuss how it felt at the time, how it has affected Geoff and actually how he has taken that experience and spends his time educating others on the complexities and nuances of stokes as an 'expert by experience'.

Its a very open and honest chat, its clear that Geoff has grown through his experience and his willing to help others whilst still recovering himself makes him in my eyes a superhero.

Geoff does some work for 'Different Strokes' charity, more information can be found here: https://differentstrokes.co.uk/

Geoff is setting up his own website currently to represent his educational and speaking business and would love to talk to you if you are looking for that so I will update when i receive more details but for now I would be happy to put you in touch. In the meantime Geoffs Profile as a community champion is here : https://yorkshirechampionsgroup.co.uk/project/geoffrey-render/

Hello and welcome back!

Today is a special event, we have a crossover between The Superhero Finder Podcast and The Man Strong Podcast!

TMSP is my new project - if you haven't visited please do - www.anchor.fm/manstrongpod and click follow to support!

Why a crossover? Well my guest today Ross is an absolute fountain of knowledge on Hormone Optimisation, and what effect low testosterone can have on a man.

He lived it, tried it and has founded Alphagenix to help other men look into the other reasons as to why they might feel down, foggy, less masculine even.

We chat about the idea of toxic masculinity with a suggested change to it, as well as our wishes to normalise conversations on man stuff.

Ross likes to take his new found energy and use it to do some incredible things. Not only is his aim to change the way men think and talk about themselves but he also just came back from climbing Aconcagua in Argentina! Talk about a superhero..

He speaks beautifully and passionately about the subjects involved, what a great conversation, we definitely had more we could discuss.

You can find Ross on Facebook and LinkedIn - search for Ross Tomkins, he shares some great and inspiring content.

Hello Superhero Fans!

Today I had the pleasure of Maddie France's company, someone I know you will agree is an absolute power house.

Her desire to empower women knows few boundaries, to help them get out and safe from uncomfortable or sometimes abusive situations with with the establishment of her charity Blossom Training and Development CIC.

Fuelled by her own past experiences, she hasn't hid from them but used the energy she has (and sometimes hasn't got) to educate.

Education Maddie believes is the key to making this world a safer place for women. That education doesn't stop with women, it needs to be given to men too, to know that some actions are not acceptable.

Within here we have a story of sadness, hardship, finding a community, football and a desire to make a difference.

What an incredible guest, I don't want to spoil it so press start and have a truly powerful day!

If you want to find out more about Blossom you can at www.blossom-uk.co.uk

Don't forget if you liked this episode, please check out all the previous episodes too by visiting www.imdoingitfor.me and by favouriting / rating you will help me spread the messages further, and also be kept up to date with new episodes.

Enjoy!

Today I am joined by a super super cool guy, who I found on LinkedIn and have followed him for a while, so its great to have him with me.

Jay is a professional speaker in the area of wellbeing and habit formation, so its good to say he knows how the mind works and has some hacks to get around those stumbling blocks.

Jay has recently competed in an international speaking competition in Ireland and did incredibly well, but you won't find him talking about it here.

Why?

Its Jays humility, his story, his experiences, his way with words and the sheer desire to help others that he see's as his power.

We talk about how Jay got into speaking, his journey from teaching and being a Personal Trainer in between.

He also gives some absolute crackers of tips and ways to help dilute some of the glitzy yet opposing messages on fitness you see on social media today to actually do the bits that work and will stick.

What does fitness mean to you? According to Jay, its your ability to recover after stress both physically and mentally.

Love that, thank you!

You can find Jay on LinkedIN, or Instagram but that not quite as frequent @therealjayunwin
