Wow! What an episode. When you put Liam's line of " I know we shouldn't do it but that doesn't mean we can't do it" into the context of a sweet cheeky inner kid that has a lust for fun and adventure you'll get the feel for this podcast. Liam takes us to his first job interview which is more mysterious than a blind date, on a his impromptu solo bike trip through China and Mongolia and  the way he burned the candle at both ends to be with his girlfriend (now wife) by flying back and forth from Tasmania to London. His willingness to say yes in the moment is truely incredible.Let's dig in. 

On this episode we have a conversation with Storm Lewington.  Storm is the type of guy you could meet in a bar and after one drink you would feel like you’re best of friends.

On this episode I asked Storm to come on and talk about three tragic events from his life and how he was able to move forward after them. I'm truly grateful for how open and honest Storm is throughout this episode. Let's dig in.

Well, these are just a few of the events that have happened in Simon's magical life.Let's dig in.
