Episode 12 - SAS Who Dares Wins
This week I speak with Three of the contestants from SAS who dares wins which is shown on Channel 4. I speak with DJ (Recruit #9), Tyler (Recruit #18) and Holly (Recruit #13) from the latest Series 6, all about how they mentally adapted to the challenge that is SAS Who Dares Wins. We all chat about the hardest and most rewarding parts of being in the show and how, after such a short time of knowing people, Camaraderie is what can pull you through the toughest parts of the show, and life! It was an honour and pleasure to speak with them all as a group, and we will also be doing individual episodes about them and their lives and challenges. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did doing it!

Episode 8 - Rob Haley
In this weeks episode I speak with Rob who has faced probably one of the hardest things at a young age that I personally have known of. Rob had extremely high blood pressure which he came across by chance at work one day and later found out his heart was not functioning as it should and this conversation fills you in on all the demons and hard times he faced. We also talk about his interest in the Law of Attraction which is something I am now researching as I always love learning new things. We mention a text service on this episode which is amazing!
