In this inspiring episode of Alchemy Hub, I sit down with Andy Heald - a talented footballer, serial entrepreneur, and passionate leader in children’s physical education and youth sport development in the UK.

Andy has spent over a decade building a successful physical education franchise under the Premier Education brand. Today, he works as a consultant to some of the UK’s largest stakeholders in the sport and education sector, driven by a powerful mission to inspire, educate, and empower the next generation through physical activity and mentorship.

Before launching his own business, Andy rose through the ranks from entry-level roles, quickly proving himself as an essential contributor in every organisation he joined. As a young talent, Andy signed professional football terms with Morecambe FC and went on to build a respected semi-professional football career, spanning 15 years.

In this raw and honest conversation, Andy speaks openly about overcoming mental health struggles, including a deeply personal moment when he nearly ended his life. He shares what sparked a turning point, how he reignited his purpose, and the steps he took to rebuild a brighter future — both in business and in life.

Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a sports professional, or someone interested in the real-life journey behind success, this episode delivers valuable insights into resilience, leadership, and personal transformation.

Listen now to discover how Andy Heald turned adversity into impact and why he’s more committed than ever to making a difference through sport, education, and entrepreneurship.
