Kidney Failure, Cycling 10,000km and worldwide doc maker| Sam Clarke| S4 EP3
Sam faced challenges straight from early life. With him having kidney failure and all the complications that come with that, many that people wouldn't realise would which he shares with us in this episode. Sam strived through life in the most positive way he could many parts being hard for someone so young.
Sam however was positive, learned, adapted and has now crossed another line in terms of achieving challenges. Becoming a worldwide documentary producer/director. Starting off working for other companies after getting a 1st in his degree. To launching his own documentary production business. He didn't want that to be the end of his story. Realising all of the lessons he learnt from earlier life and that message along with his documentarian knowledge could be put towards something a lot larger.
So he set himself the challenge of cycling 10,000km across Europe and challenges along the way completely solo. Sam set out to do this in 2019 so covid sadly got in the way towards the end. However 'My only Antidote' the documentary Sam has produced about the expedition is still in the works and in this episode we hear all about the different aspects/stories he has to face while cycling the 8,500km he has already achieved.

Sharing his MND journey, the struggles and how to create the positives | James Smith - S4EP1
James Smith (better known as adapt with James) was diagnosed around 5 years ago with MND. Motor Neurone Disease is a muscle eating condition in which your body's nerve cells progressively get damaged leading to your brain losing the signal path to the muscles and overall function. Having to face this diagnosis with three small children and a supporting wife. Would be unthinkable for the majority of people (us included).
During the episode James shares with us how he coped with the news, the ongoing MND struggles and how he showcases the condition to a wide audience online through his use of META Glasses and tech features. He also talks on how he tries to focus on the positives and finds new ways to tackle the condition. Through social media, local supportive groups and now this episode these vital lessons get shared with anyone struggling with an ongoing or new diagnoses.
