#16 - Life Is What You Make It: Matt Hampson OBE
Matt Hampson was in the rare position as a 20 year old where all his dreams were coming true. Growing up in rugby country Matt had been hooked on the game since he was 5 years old and now he was one of the best players in Rngland. But in March 2005 during a training session with the U21 national side that was all about to change.<br /><br />A scrum collapsed sending Matts head crashing to the floor with almost a tonne of weight following in behind him. Matt now lives with one of the highest grades of spinal cord injury you can survive, no movement from below the neck, a permanent tracheostomy and full time care. Despite all of this he has gone on to achieve the most incredible things. Inspiring thousands and helping hundreds more through his charity ‘The Matt Hampson Foundation’. He was one of the first people I thought of when I woke up in intensive care and he continues to be one of my biggest inspirations to this day.<br /><br />@hambofoundation<br />www.matthampsonfoundation.org<br /><br />Thank you as always to our sponsors The Coaching Academy. If you like the idea of being your own boss and helping people in the process then a career as a life coach may be for you, just head over to www.the-coaching-academy.org to find out more.

#15 - Do Something For Nothing: Josh Coombs
Josh is a hair dresser by trade, but with a twist. On the way home from work one day in 2015 he got chatting to a homeless guy and ended up giving him a haircut, a haircut that would be the start of something special. Through that haircut Josh realised a level of connectivity and openness in the ensuing conversation that he hadn’t achieved before with the many homeless people he would stop to chat with. So armed with his scissors and a spark of inspiration Josh set out onto the streets of London and through the simple act of a haircut started to uncover the incredible stories of the human beings that are forced to live on our streets.<br /><br />I was first made aware of Josh through my good friend @ebonyescalona who sent me his book ‘Do Something For Nothing’ and I immediately knew I had to meet him. That happened when I went to watch him speak in London and believe me it wasn’t a disappointment. A down to earth, deep, interesting guy who is making a difference for all of the right reasons.<br /><br />In this conversation we talk about:<br />What it means to care,<br />Finding purpose through helping others,<br />How we can best make a difference,<br />The power of communication,<br />and much more.<br /><br />Socials<br />@joshuacoombes<br />@dosomethingfornothing<br /><br />Book<br />Do Something For Nothing<br /><br />Thank you as always to our sponsors the The Coaching Academy.

#14 - Taking The Leap: Ben Watson
Just six years ago Ben Watson was sat behind his desk in central London, staring at spreadsheet waiting for the clock to strike 6 so the could get straight to the pub for his mandatory 4 pints of lager before heading home for a takeaway, watching a bit of TV and going to bed, only to get up and repeat the process over and over again. He didn’t hate his life, it’s all he knew. One day however Ben had the overwhelming feeling something needed to change but unlike most he acted on that urge, in fact he didn’t just act on it, he took that idea and ran with it, well cycled with it all the way to a Paralympic Games.<br /><br />I first met Ben underneath Mt Fuji when I interviewed him after winning his first gold medal for British para cycling and it immediately became one of my favourite interviews I’ve ever done. He literally couldn’t believe wha he had just achieved… Bens story is a great example of how with enough motivation and drive anyone can turn their life around, step on to a new path or chase a dream. How a single decisive moment, the decision to break free of your own enforced narrative can change your life.<br /><br />Inst: @ben_watson89<br /><br />Thank you to as always to our sponsors The Coaching Academy.
