In this episode, I am joined by Danny and Mike from Lads Like Us. We talk about:

 - trauma, ACEs, criminal behaviour, gangs
 - unmet need, unresolved trauma and the path of self destruction
 - The importance of making sense of who you are
 - professional curiosity
 - weaponising empathy
 - The power of 1
 - recovery, healing and discovering your potential

Mike and Danny are incredibly thoughtful, thought provoking speakers using their lived experience to bring about a trauma informed revolution. They are two of most inspiring men I have ever met. I couldn't speak highly enough of them, and I felt privileged getting the chance to speak with them. You can find them here, https://twitter.com/Lads_Like_Us and here, https://www.ladslikeus.co.uk.

Recently, they teamed up Artist Manchester Hypes, to produce this song, which is exceptional:
