<p>This week, I caught up with my good friend Paul Warrior. </p> <p><br></p> <p>For those who know Paul already, you probably came across him through the world of crossfit, but Paul has so much more to offer than his input into that world alone. </p> <p><br></p> <p>I first met Paul when he came to the gym I used to work at to speak with us about the way he approaches training and programming and I could tell that his approach was unique. What I found really interesting was how Paul thinks about training and programming much like an architect thinks about a project, with the end in mind and any number of tools at your disposal...it's about choosing the appropriate tool at the appropriate time and not limiting yourself to what you can choose from. </p> <p><br></p> <p>We spoke about Pauls background and his journey into the fitness world from skateboarding as a young kid to discovering the renegade punk rock esque side of fitness through mark twight and to where Paul is right now with the projects and businesses he runs. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Paul offers a really insightful view on how lockdown has impacted him too and how he has taken a lot of positives from this time in taking a step back and evaluating what is really important to him and where he wants to move in life. </p> <p><br></p> <p>This is going to be the last episode of JACKed Radio for a while now, as much like Paul I'm stepping back to think about the next step for all of this. If you want to find more of Paul, you can head to Instagram and follow @paul_warrior__ @fendforyourself___ @campfire___ and @warriorprogramming to see the awesome work Paul and those around him are doing right now. </p> <p><br></p> <p>So I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has liked, shared, followed, downloaded and given feedback so far! This is far from the end of what I've got planned, but for now it's time to recharge so we can come back with another set of fantastic conversations in season 2! </p>

<p>This week, I am speaking with my good friend Dr. Emilie Bourke. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Emilie is a clinical psychologist and over the years I have known her we have had many conversations about mental health, psychological wellbeing, practicing self care and looking internally to develop habits that help us to pursue values that mean something to us in a positive and productive way. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Emilie provides a wonderful insight into breaking down how we can better take care of our mental health in this episode, despite me doing my best to put her on the spot with some pretty big questions (sorry Emilie!). </p> <p><br></p> <p>We discussed ways in which we can take a step back and review the big picture of our mental health in a time when some of the ways we pursue the values we hold dear have been taken out of our lives by something external (e.g. no access to gym facilities during the coronavirus pandemic), ways in which we can look to build more resilience when it comes to our own mental health and how we can tie this all together in being kinder to ourselves more often so that when times get tough we are prepared with multiple ways of managing it. </p> <p><br></p> <p>It was an absolute pleasure to have Emilie on the podcast and an episode I took a great deal from and have implemented since. I really hope you enjoy it too and as always please like, share, subscribe and review! </p> <p><br></p> <p>Enjoy. </p>

<p>Just over 3 years ago, Salman Abedi detonated a home made shrapnel bomb in the Manchester Arena in the deadliest attack since the 2005 London bombings. Martin Hibbert and his daughter were standing 10 metres away from the explosion when this happened. </p> <p><br></p> <p>I am truly honoured to welcome Martin to the podcast today. I thank my mum for putting us in touch and I am thankful for Martin being so welcoming in speaking to me and being so open and honest about his experiences. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Having only spoken a handful of times, I am already in awe of what Martin has achieved and done since the incident. Martin has not only defied all the odds and learned to stand unassisted, with the help of Ken Ware at Neurophysics, but also raised over a million pounds to help those also recovering from spinal injuries. You can read more about Martin on the Spinal Injury Association page here: <a href="https://www.spinal.co.uk/martins-story/">https://www.spinal.co.uk/martins-story/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>We discussed Martins journey from the hours leading up to the explosion, the immediate aftermath and the ups and downs of his journey since then in a journey that has been both psychological and physical in achieving what some people told him was impossible. We also touched on some of the unexpected friendships Martin has developed through all of this too. </p> <p><br></p> <p>His attitude towards life is infectious, as is his determination in overcoming obstacles. The thing that struck me most while we spoke was how Martin applies himself to each situation he is in, focusing on the task at hand, finding a way and trying to find the positive side of things. </p> <p><br></p> <p>I am certain this won't be the only time I speak with Martin on the podcast, although I've already said next time we do this it will have to be over tea and cake instead of zoom once we are on the other end of the Coronavirus Pandemic! </p> <p><br></p> <p>I am truly grateful to be able to welcome Martin on to JACKed Radio. Please enjoy, follow and share this truly inspirational mans story around with those around you. </p> <p><br></p> <p>You can find Martin on Twitter at: @MartinHibbert and on Instagram at: mr_martin_hibbert </p>
