In Episode Seven, Baz sits down with James Chantry of Chantry Agricultural Engineers.

James’s story is one of pure graft. No big backing, no safety net , just a £600 van, nothing in the bank, and a decision to give it a go.

From those early days selling potatoes to kids at school, to building a respected agricultural engineering business with a fleet of vans and a serious workload, this is a journey built the hard way. Step by step. Job by job.

We talk about how it all started, the moments where things could have gone either way, and what it really takes to grow something from nothing. James shares the reality behind running a business... the long hours, the pressure, and the responsibility that comes with it.

There’s also a strong thread of local pride running through it all. Supporting farmers, keeping things moving, and being someone people can rely on when it matters most.

But more than anything, this conversation is about building something for yourself.

About backing your own ability.
About taking risks when it counts.
And about earning your reputation the right way.

(And Marshall Steam Rollers play a pretty big part too!)

In Episode Six, Baz sits down with Ricardo Franco - BKFC champion and one of Gainsborough’s own.

Rico’s journey isn’t one that happened overnight. It’s built on years of graft, setbacks, discipline, and a mindset that refuses to break. From growing up in Gainsborough to stepping into the brutal world of bare knuckle fighting, this is a story of resilience in its rawest form.

We talk about where it all started, the reality of life behind the fighter, and what it truly takes to compete at that level, physically and mentally. Rico opens up about the sacrifices, the pressure, and the moments that shape you long before anyone’s watching.

(And how important his fuel is from our local bucthers, The Meatery!)

There’s also a real sense of pride in where he’s from. Gainsborough runs through everything he does, and you can feel that throughout this conversation.

This isn’t just about fighting.

It’s about discipline.

About mindset.
And about proving to yourself what you’re capable of, no matter where you start.

Episode Five

In this episode, I sit down with Thomas "Simply" Lovely, a local lad with a big dream, from Gainsborough , all the way to the professional world of darts.

We chat about how it all started, what it’s really like trying to break into the game, and the work that goes on behind the scenes that people don't see.

There’s a lot more to darts than just turning up and throwing, and Thomas gives a proper honest take on the pressure, the ups and downs, and how quickly things can change when you’re up there.

We also get into the buzz of playing, the pressure, and that feeling when things start to click.

But more than anything, this is just a conversation about backing yourself and giving something a proper go, and we hope everyone gets behind Thomas on his climb to the very top.
