In this episode with Laurence we dive into the drive, creativity, and resilience behind building one of the UKs most exciting running communities. We talk about the origins of Rally Life, Up and Running Events, and Formula Run, and how confidence, community engagement, and smart marketing have shaped their growth. Laurence shares lessons from event logistics, the challenges of innovation, and the realities of navigating council regulations, pricing, and competition. We explore his journey into ultra running, the mental side of endurance, and how he balances multiple ventures with long term vision. It's an honest look at ambition, endurance, and the mindset required to turn your passions into something people genuinely want to be part of.

In this episode, I sit down with Andy, the current organizer of Night of Lies, and Wade, the original founder, to explore how the event grew from a small, informal storytelling night amongst friends into a cherished part of the Bow Valley community. We talk about the charm that makes Night of Lies so enduring, the balance of humor and honesty on stage, and the effort to keep the event authentic as it evolves. Andy and Wade share insights on audience engagement, community impact, the chaos and comedy behind the scenes, and the importance of grassroots spaces where real stories can thrive. It’s a conversation about creativity, connection, and the spirit that keeps events like this alive.

In this episode with Sam, we explore the many layers of fear, identity, and personal growth—from early family influences and teenage anxiety to understanding how medication, language, and self-perception shape the way we move through the world. We talk about balancing analysis and intuition, navigating anxiety while travelling, and the lessons that come from experiencing new cultures in Nepal, Tanzania, and beyond. Along the way, we touch on generosity, perspective, overcoming challenges, and the philosophies that help us face fear, time, and uncertainty. It’s a reflective journey through adventure, mindset, and the ongoing effort to live fully in the present.
