In this episode, Tom shares his journey behind training for his first bike race (and it's a big one!)

After a period of burnout, mental health struggles, and being forced to step away from life for a short while, this episode is more about what it really means to rebuild - physically and mentally and how “pushing through” doesn’t always work (Tom found out the hard way.

Ben's been on a solo ski tour outside of Europe and gives all his tips and advice for travelling further afield for some good times.

We dive deep into the importance of boundaries, processing anger, and the importance of protecting your energy.

And of course - Tom dips into the jar of Great British Misadventures to regale a story from his own misadventures.
