This week we are joined by Tom Foxley.

Tom is an Adventrepeneur (adventurer and entrepreneur.)

We talk through how he suffered from a lack of confidence and was bullied as a kid.

To how training for the Royal Marines changed him physically and mentally.

Giving him the self belief to step away from a business that wasn't aligned with what he wanted to achieve.

And pursue a career that was much more meaningful for him.

One that sees him help people create a life of freedom and them to live life on their terms.

An epic chat and not one to be missed.

I highly recommend you give Tom a follow on Instagram- @tomfoxley

Another epic conversation with a truly remarkable guy.
