<p>What if joy isn't something you earn after you've fixed your life - but the thing that helps you build it in the first place?</p><p>This week I'm joined by life coach, retreat host and founder of The Joy Project, Meg Holloway.</p><p>After leaving a corporate career and moving to the Lake District, Meg trained as a coach and built a business around a simple but powerful idea: joy is not the reward at the end of the journey - it's the strategy that helps you navigate it. </p><p>In this conversation we explore how Meg transformed herself from someone who describes her younger self as "proper glass half empty" into a coach who helps people get out of their own way and take action on the things that matter most. </p><p>We talk about:</p><p>Why so many people are waiting for permission before they start the business, launch a project, change careers or pursue the life they really want. </p><p>Meg's philosophy of "messy action" and how tiny imperfect steps build self-trust far more effectively than endless planning. </p><p>Fear of failure, fear of judgement and the stories we tell ourselves that keep us stuck.</p><p>Why community, connection and finding "your people" matters more than ever. </p><p>Why learning to "date yourself" can be one of the most powerful things you do.</p><p>Finding joy during one of the most difficult periods of her life following a serious health challenge, and why that experience ultimately reinforced everything she teaches.</p><p>If you've ever felt stuck, waited for permission, or wondered whether it's too late to make a change, I think you'll get a lot from this one.</p><p><strong>Follow Meg: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/danny_bent/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/megg.holloway/</a></p><p><strong>Support the podcast: </strong></p><p>Get a whopping 65% off your first Gousto box at: <a href="https://www.gousto.co.uk/raf/?promo_code=TOM42277653" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.gousto.co.uk/raf/?promo_code=TOM42277653</a></p><p><strong>Mentioned in the Podcast:</strong></p><p><strong>The Joy Project: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thejoyprojectcoach/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/thejoyprojectcoach/</a></p><p><strong>The Joy Podcast:</strong> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3guaT24uvN1gky41cYfLe7?si=c1f9d15084674cf4" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/show/3guaT24uvN1gky41cYfLe7?si=c1f9d15084674cf4</a></p><p><strong>Join the mailing list:</strong></p><p><a href="https://substack.com/@tombryanyeah?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://substack.com/@tombryanyeah?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page</a></p><p><strong>Get in contact:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tombryanyeah/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/tombryanyeah/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/greatbritishadventurespodcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/greatbritishadventurespodcast</a></p><p><a href="https://www.threads.net/@tombryanyeah" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.threads.net/@tombryanyeah</a></p><p><strong>Chapters</strong></p><p>00:00 Intro</p>

<p>Danny Bent has spent years chasing adventure.</p><p>From ultra-endurance survival challenges to being marooned on a deserted island in the Maldives, he's built a life around pushing boundaries and stepping into the unknown.</p><p>But recently, his focus has shifted.</p><p>The next challenge isn't about going further, faster, or enduring more. It's about becoming more human.</p><p>In this deeply personal conversation, Danny reflects on a journey that began with an ayahuasca retreat and led him towards what he calls his "primal age" - a growing desire to reconnect with the experiences that shaped us long before modern life arrived.</p><p>We talk about swimming in near-freezing water, spending a week alone in a remote Norwegian cabin, learning to hunt deer, disconnecting from technology, the importance of play, self-love, masculinity, and why shared adversity brings people together like nothing else.</p><p>At its heart, this is a conversation about stripping life back to its essentials. Less noise. Less distraction. More presence, connection and adventure.</p><p>Because perhaps the wildest thing we can do in the modern world is return to what made us human in the first place.</p><p>Listen to Danny's previous recording, here: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2jn6zsMXRw2WO61McbEz5y?si=a0b45bc6bb4c40a1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/episode/2jn6zsMXRw2WO61McbEz5y?si=a0b45bc6bb4c40a1</a></p><p><strong>Support the podcast: </strong></p><p>Get a whopping 65% off your first Gousto box at: <a href="https://www.gousto.co.uk/raf/?promo_code=TOM42277653" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.gousto.co.uk/raf/?promo_code=TOM42277653</a></p><p><strong>Follow Danny: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/danny_bent/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/danny_bent/</a><a href="https://www.dannybent.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.dannybent.com/</a></p><p><strong>Join the mailing list:</strong></p><p><a href="https://substack.com/@tombryanyeah?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://substack.com/@tombryanyeah?utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page</a></p><p><strong>Get in contact:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/tombryanyeah/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/tombryanyeah/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/greatbritishadventurespodcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/greatbritishadventurespodcast</a></p><p><a href="https://www.threads.net/@tombryanyeah" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.threads.net/@tombryanyeah</a></p><p><strong>Chapters</strong></p><p>00:00 Intro</p><p>02:21: Ayahuasca Retreat</p><p>17:03 Other ways to go within yourself</p><p>21:18 Finding ways to soothe</p><p>27:08 One day a week unplugged</p><p>37:59 Marooned on an island</p><p>49:24 The group dynamics on the island</p><p>01:04:58 Hunting for deer for the first time</p><p>01:24:42 Cold Water Swimming Championships</p><p>01:33:54 Tom's magical sea adventure</p><p>01:42:41 What the sitcom Scrubs taught Tom about Masculinity </p><p>01:55:02 Self Love</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>
