In this repurposed special episode, I’ve curated powerful moments from past interviews that dive deep into health, fitness, wellness, and mental resilience. These conversations are honest, raw, and inspiring — featuring world champions, comedians, fitness experts, and first responders who speak openly about struggle, recovery, and growth.

🔥 What You’ll Hear in This Episode

00:32 – Billy Schwer
Former British, Commonwealth, European & World Boxing Champion
Billy opens up about life after boxing, losing his identity, battling depression, and reaching the depths of despair — including suicidal thoughts. He shares how boxing once saved his life, why retirement nearly broke him, and how he transformed himself into a personal performance coach.

03:33 – Frank King
“The Mental Health Comedian” | Suicide Prevention Speaker
Frank shares his extraordinary journey of turning lifelong depression into a message of hope. With honesty and humour, he explains why comedy can be one of the most powerful tools in suicide prevention — especially for first responders and emergency services.

06:17 – Anna Vocino
Actor, comedian, podcaster & bestselling cookbook author
Anna talks about nutrition, cholesterol myths, personal experimentation with diet, and how real-life stress can derail even the healthiest routines — and how to recover from that.

07:16 – Vinnie Tortorich
Celebrity Fitness Trainer | Creator of Fat: A Documentary
Vinnie breaks down misunderstood health topics, including supplements, vitamin deficiencies, cholesterol, and why “one-size-fits-all” health advice doesn’t work. He explains the importance of personal responsibility and experimentation when it comes to fitness and nutrition.

09:17 – Dave Pamah
I close the episode with a deeply important conversation about mental health stigma, especially within the emergency services. I’m joined by Ashlie Walton, a police wife, and Clint Walton, a serving police officer, as we discuss why “it’s okay not to be okay” — and how attitudes are slowly changing.
