My guest today is Dan Iles, he's a senior communications manager at the Soil Association. He works with the farming team to inspire and equip farmers in the UK towards agroecological farming techniques. Dan is a huge advocate for market gardening (small scale garden farms supplying local people/restaurants), he's a great chef and has some really interesting insights. We talk about:

The food supply chain
How we can improve urban farming
What you can do to improve your diet's impact on your local community 
Side note: Dan and I have been friends since secondary school (big up the King Henry VIII massive in Aber G!) and yet I don't think I properly realised what Dan did for his career and how bloody interesting this chat was. Please enjoy my chat with Mr Dan Iles!

In the podcast we talk about:

1. How Hazel got into kickboxing
2. Visualisation techniques Hazel used to become world champion
3. What caused her to experience chronic fatigue 
4. Women in sport and some interesting stories about her journey
5. Hazel's role playing fantasy game (Betwixt) that's designed to improve aspects of mental health
6. How to embrace your mind monster and stop fighting your inner self 
7. How what you say (self talk and to others) can be used to live a more authentic life

Listen to the episode and enjoy!

This episode's guest is David Wilkinson...

David coaches men to create results that transform their world. 

He helps men get clarity on where they want to go in life, then coaches them to achieve that transformation. 

We first met 7 years ago and seeing his evolution --the expression of himself,,  in a really authentic way--who he is, how he lives and what he stands for - it has just been really inspiring to watch.

We talk about:

• The illusion of control, and how to let go of controlling behaviour
• Journalling as a tool to gain awareness of things you could improve
• How to remain unattached from the outcome of your work

This is a powerful deep dive into how the way you think heavily determines your results at work, and in your life!
