Andrew Jenkins opens up about a brain injury, the depression he lived with for years afterwards, and what it took to finally make a change.We talk about:

• the aftermath of a brain injury (the part people don’t see)
• depression, identity, and the slow road back
• the moment he decided he couldn’t keep living the same way
• choosing to live more authentically
• and the adventures he’s been on since making that shift

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a chapter you didn’t choose, this episode is a reminder that change can start small — and still change everything.

James Thie is a Welsh middle-distance runner specialising in the 1500m, and he finished 4th at the 2004 World Indoor Championships. In this episode we go deep on what it takes to reach that level — not just the training, but the sacrifices behind the scenes.We talk about:

• elite 1500m training and how confidence is built
• self-belief when you’re not the favourite
• the sacrifices James made to chase performance
• and why, as a coach, he wouldn’t let his athletes make the same sacrifices

If you’re chasing big goals, this is a powerful reminder that “more” isn’t always better — and that ambition needs boundaries.

Dafydd Morgan is a BBC news journalist who’s also completed an Ironman (and plenty of other endurance events). In this episode we talk triathlon, discipline, and the “side quest” mentality — doing hard things alongside a busy life and still showing up.We get into:

• what triathlon training really demands (time, structure, consistency)
• discipline vs motivation (and what actually works)
• side quests, perspective, and why chasing challenges matters
• and yes… pickles (you’ll see)

If you’re into triathlon, endurance sport, or just building consistency, you’ll enjoy this one.
