  • S3 Ep2: Putting down the Armour With Jamie Skipper

    S3 Ep2: Putting down the Armour With Jamie Skipper
    2025/06/19
    How does a bench-pressing VIP bouncer end up in a kibbutz in Israel?

    Our guest today is Jamie Skipper, an ex-doorman who left his colorful life in the past after realising he wasn’t looking to the future or living in the present. Jamie now helps kids of all ages to embrace resilience through his holistic approach. By utilizing his master NLP training and his physical skills as a personal trainer, he speaks honestly and openly about his past experiences, training hard as a bodybuilder and using a cocktail of drugs at the same time, which ended in a bad way with Jamie losing trust in himself and living with shame and guilt that he's now left behind.

    Suzanne Shaw is a singer, actress, and performance coach who first gained
    fame with the pop band Hear’Say on Popstars. She later starred in musical
    theatre and TV, winning Dancing on Ice in 2008. In 2020, Suzanne shifted

    health charities, she now inspires others through motivational speaking, and
    coaching in confidence, public speaking and wellness programs.

    Paul and Suzanne had a brilliant conversation, really open and honest…about the film they starred in together 10 years ago, about the integral three c’s of sobriety and the hardest part of Suzanne’s sobriety journey, which might surprise you.
