Not even his own name. 

And now, we’re left speechless because Ali - in under 6 months - has defied science and every doctors prediction in his recovery. 

Ali has learned to speak again. Despite being told it was going to be nearly impossible for him to speak again. 

He and his loved ones have been through some of the darkest dog days they’ll have to face but it’s Ali’s spirit, belief in himself and view on the world that’s got him to the point that we’re talking on a podcast together. 

And we think there’s a lot for all of us to learn from because of that. 

We hope you ENJOY this one. Its powerful, special and deep...

What? The definition of masculinity has moved on since the early 2000’s. With the rise of male suicide and cases like Sarah Everard, the spotlight shines brightly on masculinity as a subject. 

Why? Who and how should men show up to be? What’s unacceptable? How do we want our sons to behave? What can we do to lead by example?

We really hope you enjoyed this season DogDayer's! STAY TUNED for what is to come in our next season! Its tasty. Its deep. Its meaningful.

Ladies & Gentleman, its been a long time coming - 8 months to be precise, but more than ever we are ready to bring you all things relating to life, its struggles and how to get through them together. Of course, discussed in true Dog Days fashion.

Ian McKenzie is currently taking a hiatus from the show and focussing his efforts on 'FC Not Alone', while Junior Eldstål is playing football professionally again in Thailand. In the meantime we have a new Co-Host for this 4 part series. His name is Jack Simpson. We cannot wait to deliver you his contributions and life experiences to the show.

In this episode we are joined by an old member of The Dog Days - Josh Connolly. We talk about all things Internal Family Systems. Delving into the mind of one another to work out why we act in the ways we do towards others because of our sub-personalities.

Internal Family Systems combines systems thinking with the view that the mind is made up of relatively discrete sub-personalities, each with its own unique viewpoint and qualities.

We hope you ENJOY!

Stay tuned for next weeks episode on Addiction!

What did we want to learn?

We wanted to learn if there was a perfect diet

A perfect habit trail. 

A perfect one size fits all regime that we could ping out to our listeners and save them all a load of research. 

What did we actually learn?

It’s all about you. Your story. Your energy levels and your own journey of nutrition. 

You can find your perfect lifetime diet if you care enough. 

You will be able to apply a habitual 80/20 routine if you’re curious enough about creating the right habits. 

And... If you don’t really care. Try and make your plate as colourful as you possibly can every day. 

You know... like that painting you did when you were 8.

When you trust your founding partners implicitly?

G. O. A. T - that’s what. 

We chatted to the relentlessly busy Arron Shepherd about how he launched one of Europe’s fastest growing agencies. 

We also looked under the bonnet of Arron’s motivation to discover his ‘why’. What makes him want to do this? And what keeps him up at night.

We were delighted to have a fellow dog dayer back on the pod in the week leading up to mental health awareness week.

In this episode, we wanted to be as raw and real as possible. Josh helped us debate and answer all the weird and wonderful questions we have around shame, showing up, fully exposing ourselves... and the fear that comes with that.

Ollie Scott, Junior Eldstål, George Bettany and James Routledge

What?

In this episode, we meet the entrepreneurial duo behind Mental Health coaching business; George Bettany and James Routledge. We’re given a raw insight in to the duos journey with entrepreneurialism and the life lessons taught through courageousness, failure and passion.

The pair are consistently open about their journey and leave no detail spare with exactly How and Why Sanctus was founded.

Raising awareness around mental health is one thing. Changing perceptions within business and moving mental health to something we view as important as physical fitness is a completely different challenge, and one we whole heartedly agree with.

We were blown away by their chemistry as a business partnership and friendship and there is no doubt that their closeness has been a core pillar in the success Sanctus has seen so far.

A pleasure chatting to two people with such connection to their purpose and business... enjoy!

Ollie Scott, Junior Eldstål, Ian McKenzie and David Cotterill

What/Why?

At the age of 18, David Cotterill signed for then Premier League side Wigan Athletic on Transfer Deadline Day in 2006 for £2 Million Pounds. David had already played an amazing 62 times for Bristol City prior to his move to Wigan. Later on in his career, there were suggestions from one manager in particular that David may have got too much too soon.

Last year David announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 30, he has also been very vocal about his battles with mental health and is doing his part to reduce the stigma surrounding it.
