This episode with Dave Morris is nothing short of extraordinary. He shares his journey from being in a high positioned sales role to starting his own company. Might we add he started this company literally flat on his back in a bed for six months after a trampoline accident broke his back. They not only discuss the lessons Dave learnt along the way, but they also dive into very important social issues like parenting, the masculinity crisis and why Britain needs a transformation before it's too late.

Throughout this episode Dave shares how his personal faith strengthened him along every step of his journey including through his diagnosis of cancer 5 years ago. He went through treatment in the middle of COVID, spent weeks in hospital without his family, and had a choice between giving up or fighting like never before.

We think it's safe to say nothing was going to hold him back!

With Dave's unexplained optimism, this episode will change how you see success, suffering, and what actually matters.
