Trigger Warning - Bereavement/Anxiety/Suicide

Content Warning - Swearing

Today we're lucky enough to have Al Chambers with us. Al is owner of Legions Gym and runs the monthly Menfulness Boxing sessions. He's a boxing coach, a counsellor, a father of three and an all round lovely bloke.

Al shares how he has built his business from a dream up, the importance of learning how to lose well, and how he's created a community around Legions. He also talks about his experiences of anxiety, processing death and how all these things have made him the leader he is today.

It's a fascinating conversation with a humble but inspiring man. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
