Calum Best: "I Can, I Will"
Calum Best, son of the infamous Manchester United forward, George Best, joins me on this first episode. As a young man, Calum lost his father to alcoholism, which threw him into depression. With the eyes of the global press heavily on him, he also became dependant on drink as a coping mechanism. Calum and I go way back, but whats brought us closer is our ability to open up and share our experiences with each other. We are both no strangers to loss and trauma. Now a recovered alcoholic, Calum shares his advice for overcoming adversity, highlights the power of positive thinking and talks about the opportunity given to him at Dorking Wanderers FC Ladies.

Fierce Minds Kind Hearts
Since losing my beautiful daughter Azaylia Diamond Cain to cancer in 2021, I have been on a mission to channel her spirit as a beacon of strength and inspiration for others going through their own battles with mental health, hardship, adversity, grief, and loss. Surviving trauma can be a gruelling journey, but through the darkness I have learnt to live a more purposeful life by using the idea of a “fierce mind" and a "kind heart” in everything I do. In this podcast I want to share the stories of others who have been shaped by unpredictable experiences - and found a way, not just to survive, but to come back stronger. Let’s go champs!
