I met Chrissy in July when I was speaking at a Samaritans conference in Blackpool. I had time before my train so I sat in on Chrissy's talk and was really moved by her story. I instantly wanted Chrissy to share her story on my podcast.

This episode is very close to my heart as someone diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. There is a real need for awareness of the problem with 52,000 men diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, that's 144 men every day.

Every 45 minutes one man dies from prostate cancer, that's more than 12,000 men every year.

Mark Rayment and Anderson Boyce have set up Barbers Against Prostate Cancer with the aim of spreading awareness where people can openly discuss what can be a very personal subject. Our chat is very open and should be of help to anyone who may be affected.

This one really got me !

Rachel's story is really horrific but so important because of its huge message of hope. Rachel's perpetrator was her husband of 18 years who after finally getting away from him shot her with a shotgun. I thought it could not get any worse until she made the final reveal to me which stopped me in my tracks.

Rachel has turned such a life changing experience into a way of helping others going through the same thing.

Here is more about the amazing Rachel.

After 18 years in an abusive relationship, Rachel was shot and severely injured by her violent partner in 2011.

Rachel spent several weeks in hospital and now lives with life altering injuries.

Rachel is founder of SUTDA, (Stand Up to Domestic Abuse) a Patron for WCID – What Can I Do and Ambassador for Locality Solutions, Co-Creator of Project Titanium. She also won a St David’s Award in 2020, and a winner of Crime Fighter of the Year 2023. She campaigns tirelessly and is committed to ending domestic abuse.

She has 5 successful petitions on change.org with a combined 1 million signatures. One of her petitions helped to get non-fatal strangulation on the statue book which Is now a stand-alone-offence.

She is also a qualified IDVA, Rachel also runs an online awareness Facebook page called Stand Up to Domestic Abuse.

Catherine Flay is the CEO of Restart Lives, a small London homelessness charity operating in East and West London with the aim of breaking the cycle of homelessness. Before taking up the role, Catherine was Operations Lead at the Institute of Art and Ideas, and previously an academic at Cambridge University and Birkbeck.

This episode is a perfect example of when I enjoy it as much as listeners and subscribers do. Podcasts are a wonderful opportunity of getting to know someone who you may see a lot of but not always have the time to really sit down and have a good conversation.

I really respect Catherine and the charity she heads and am grateful to have the chance to shine a light on her and the great work they do.

As a diagnosed PTSD sufferer, I was excited to have Gary Hayes from PTSD999 on the podcast. It was everything I expected and more. We had an amazing chat and at the end felt we had made a really brotherly bond.

PTSD999 was set up in 2015 by friends Gary and Simon, both of whom served within the Military and Public Sector.

As a result of their duties both have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

They realised that there wasn't any widely available accessible support for those serving, or who had served, within the Emergency Services, and their families, living with PTSD.

So they set about creating an organisation that could provide support, source and fund treatment, training and raise awareness of the impact PTSD has on a persons life.

PTSD999 has been operating as a not-for profit social enterprise since formation.

​

We are committed to supporting our Emergency Service workers and our aim is to ensure that awareness of PTSD within the Emergency Services grows and the Stigma associated with it, and other mental health conditions, is broken.

I have a wonderful, heartfelt chat with Steve. We have a real connection and go very deep into our life experiences which I found very meaningful. Steve describes perfectly why volunteering for Haircuts4Homeless is such a wonderful thing. He opens up about being diagnosed HIV positive and the effect it has had on his life and his mental health.

I cannot recommend this podcast enough. Steve taught me so much about living with HIV and it's why I have purposefully saved it for world aids day.

Michelle was born in July 1965, in Northern Ireland. As a teenager she attended the Ulster Youth Theatre before moving to Belfast , where she was a member of Fringe Benefit, a repertory company where she acted alongside Conleth Hill, with whom she would later appear in television juggernaut 'Game of Thrones'. In 1986 she came to London and established herself as a considerable stage actress in 'Oleanna 'at the Royal Court, 'Dancing at Lughnasa' at the Old Vic, as Lady Macbeth with the West Yorkshire Playhouse and as Emilia, wife of the villainous Iago in the Donmar Warehouse's production of 'Othello', for which she was nominated for an Olivier award and on the strength of which she was offered the part of the fiercely matriarchal Lady Stark in 'Game of Thrones'. Following that character's demise she appeared in several American television series - '24', 'Suits' and 'The Lizzie Borden Chronicles ' - as well as playing the wife of (Southern) Irish Brendan Gleeson in the epic period film 'In the Heart of the Sea'. In 2015 she returned to Britain to appear in the play 'Splendour' in London and the television series 'Rebellion' chronicling the 1916 Easter Rising.

We have a wonderful chat about her career and also her recent visit to our Haircuts4Homeless Knightsbridge where she was a really great contributor to the evening. She is fascinating, funny, empathetic, beautiful soul. I'm sure you will love this.

What a wonderful chat with such a beautiful human being. I met Lou this year when I joined him at Acorn house in Shoreditch where he was cutting the hair of homeless people and people in recovery. Lou was telling me of his plan to help homeless people back into work with barber training which is something we had tried in the past with the Haircuts4Homeless Academy. We decided to collaborate and Lou came up with the amazing 12 step barber program.

We talk about our recovery, the new barber academy and our plans for the future.

Steve's story is one of the most inspirational success stories Haircuts4Homeless have had to date.

Steve is a companion at the wonderful Emmaus Center in Sheffield and his story of how they trusted him enough to turn his life around is amazing for him and a credit to them.

Our Queen of the North, Jackie McColl first cut Steve's hair as one of our guests at the Sheffield Emmaus where he stated his passion to become a barber. Emmaus provided him with training opportunities which led him to volunteer alongside Jackie. Steve is now taking over as team leader from Jackie in Sheffield and already has eyes on opening in Hull.

Steve's journey is amazing.

Choose Love started as nothing more than a group of friends with a plan. In 2015, absolutely devastated by scenes of thousands of people forced to live in terrible conditions in the Calais refugee camp in northern France, Josie knew she had to do something.

Josie studied Anthropology but later decided to pursue a career in the music industry. This career move would see her working with the band Coldplay until the ‘refugee crisis’ in Europe in 2015. 

Using her experience and contacts in the music industry, she rallied together friends with the hashtag #HelpCalais. Within a week, they had raised over £50,000 and were soon receiving thousands of donated items every day- Choose Love was born. Under Josie’s strategic leadership a new model for fast flexible grantmaking has been developed that prioritises community based organisations and fills the gaps being lost by Governments and traditional aid models. Josie has gone on to lead the growth of Choose Love as its CEO and the organisation has now supported almost 4 million people via partnering with almost 400 organisations in 33 countries and raising over $80 million. 

Josie is a leading advocate for refugee rights in the UK, and is seen as a thought leader across the sector, she’s been named as one of Bill and Melinda Gates’ ‘Global Goalkeepers’ and one of the Evening Standard's Progress 1000 “Changemakers”. She has spoken at events alongside Bill Gates and Barack Obama. Choose Love has won the NESTA award in 2016 and The Liberty freedom award in 2017 for its work supporting unaccompanied children.

In January 1987 Terry Waite was captured in Beirut whilst he was attempting to secure the release of hostages. He was kept in solitary confinement for four years and kept hostage in total for almost five years, 1763 days in all. His story was on the front pages and TV screens around the world.

On 18 November 2016, Terry marked the 25th anniversary of his release.

It is difficult to think of anyone else whose integrity and humanity are so striking. When he speaks, Terry’s quiet authority and personal conviction shine through. This man suffered so much at the hands of others, and he now shares what he has learned from his experiences, with humour and clarity.

It is such a fascinating conversation and what strikes me is Terry's lack of resentment and bitterness that many of us if we went through such an ordeal would leave us consumed with it.

I met Steven at my friends Kickboxing Gym and his story is amazing. Steven is by no means an angel, and doesn't profess to be however he is trying to make good in his life and trying to be an inspiration to others who may take that path.

His very graphic description of being a drug dealer in Thailand, his inevitable capture and incarceration in one of Thailand's toughest prison. To be placed on death row with no hope of survival is enough to defeat any man but the fighting spirit never left him.

I dont expect anyone to have any sympathy for Steven and he doesn't expect any but I understand a person who wants to change himself and even though you know you can never repay your past, you can do your best to be the best version of yourself for the future.

This is a very graphic story and has no holds barred but I feel its a story that needs to be told.

Danielle was introduced to me by former guest, Jodie Keegans who had been to Danielle's amazing Domestic Abuse Retreat. Danielle is such an inspirational human being and her story brought us both to tears. Please listen to and share this podcast as far as possible to bring light to her amazing story and this wonderful project.

A quote from Danielle,

"My name is Danielle I’m a survivor of domestic abuse

Please be aware that my story contains distressing information. I want to share my full story to highlight that extreme cases of domestic abuse happen & also in the hope that I can help other women both escape & avoid this type of abuse

I was in a relationship with who I thought was great guy. Unfortunately not long into the relationship, violence & control started

To begin with he would check my phone & stared discouraging me from going out to see friends & taking part in my hobbies

Then one night, out of nowhere, I was sleeping and was woken up by him being on top of me, punching me and pulling my hair. He had been going through my phone & looking at old Facebook messages. He found a very old innocent message from another guy & this sparked his violent outburst

After this situation the violence & control continued most weeks

I wanted to end the relationship but every time I tried it resulted in violence and told I could never leave or escape him. I felt trapped.

My spirit was broken & I didn’t know what to do. I believed this must have somehow been my fault & thought that this was now my life

I didn't think the police would take me seriously & I had no idea where to turn

On the 12th of September 2018, things took a very bad turn for the worse. He decided I needed to be taught a lesson. He locked me in my home for 3 days and tortured me. He repeatedly beat me, tipped paint all over me & made me lick it off the floor. He smashed mirrors over my head, rubbed glass into me & brutally beat me with an iron bar."

I was left with a broken jaw, broken ribs and extreme bruising

Check out her fantastic project.

I have seen Paul's posts about his book on Facebook and the title of his book intrigued me so I reached out to him to see if he would like to come on the podcast. I immediately connected with him as we started chatting, possibly because my Dad was Scottish and served in the military but also that battle with addiction. His story made me uncomfortable, emotional and inspired.

He is donating the profits from his book to the homeless so I encourage everyone to grab a copy and help him achieve his goal.

Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer.

A good friend of mine, Cheryl Witham, put me in touch with a fantastic man, Elvin Box. He is a Prostate Cancer Campaigner and a generous human being. He selflessly gave me lots of his time, reassuring me and educating me on what I am facing. I knew immediately that I had to do a podcast with him to share awareness of this much underestimated disease.

We have a full and frank discussion about my experience so far and I hope this helps other people in this situation.

This is information from Elvin :

All of those born with a prostate should get to a Gym, and focus on the following exercises to enhance their continence and potency. However, once treated for prostate cancer, the following exercises are a must: core muscles; pelvic floor muscles; cardio vascular. A good workout can be done at home if you wish, and this brilliant web site provides necessary instruction: https://www.floorandcore.com/

• My “No holds barred” article for the online Sex Shop, Jo Divine; which is probably the most explicit piece freely available in the public domain, about living beyond a prostatectomy, can be found here: https://www.jodivine.com/blogs/perspectives/winning-back-our-sex-life-after-prostate-cancer-a-personal-story-by-elvin-box

If the above is failing to help sufficiently, next steps to attain and maintain an erection are:

• Seek on NHS the Caverject injection https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/2918/smpc#gref
• Last resort is an operation to insert a penile prosthesis https://www.penileprosthesis.co.uk/what-is-a-penile-prosthesis/

• The ‘Hospital On Wheels’ mobile PSA Blood Testing Unit, The Errol McKellar Foundation: https://www.theerrolmckellarfoundation.com/
• The Movember True North Prostate Cancer programme:

We are all horrified by the events in the Ukraine, and feel helpless. We see the terrible things and would all dearly love to help but often dont know where to start but some people dont think how but just do. Stu is one of them.

This is his account of how they managed to pull this off and overcome the obstacles I would not have even thought of.

This is a great example taking action at its best.

Neil said :

"The group started up in late spring of 2020..

Danny put idea of a jobs page for hammers to me and would I drive it on.

I've run pages before so as well as helping people in the past it was a great concept

Hammers for work.

Lot of uncertainty over covid so people's livelihoods were under threat so we aimed to keep things "in house" for hammers..

I myself have always tried to help others where I could so we decided to add the support network to group ethos

Hammersforworkandsupport

Page has grown and gone from strength to strength nearing the 15,000 number

Our emphasis is focused on Newham

Both raised in the Borough I spent over 30 years there and still visit the area

Danny family also .

We try to support as many people as we can

A list of Newham charities below

Newham boxing club

Newham abilty club

AAA

The Magpie project

Newham foodbank

Ascension foodbank

Lolas homeless

Footstepz youth academy

Homeless veterans association

We have donated to all above and offered support and continue to do so.

We have a ticket scheme donating matchday tickets to some of the above and also individuals that cannot afford to go to a game with their children

Donating also to youth clubs and

Hall mead school special educational needs.

We will continue to support hammers and their families and anyone connected with club

The charities preferred are smaller organisations and help a wide range of people women men and especially children and youth.

We are proud of the group and its members for the Community spirit shown and many have gained employment and been given a start

We also have mentored over 40 individuals with mental health issues all in strict confidence using mental health advocates

We are the only group of supporters doing this and of that we are proud. "

I had a great time talking with the amazing Jayne Lewis-Orr, Executive Director of Hairdressers Journal this week. Jayne is such an wonderful lady who has a great drive and passion for the hairdressing industry. Her schedule and workload is ridiculous but she is a can do person and gets things done.

We had an emotional look back at her past to see what is her motivation to achieve and I really found out what makes that big heart of hers tick.

Claire's story in her own words: “Having grown up in a vibrant and diverse market community in South London and surrounded by people from all walks of life and having been a very successful exclusive PR Manager in the music industry, Claire has always seen that life is ‘real’ so she wanted to choose a profession that helps her to continue to grow whilst connecting with people. I’ve dealt with a lot of my own struggles in life by myself, divorce, bereavement, losing my mum to alcohol addiction and many more of those real life experiences; in return this has helped me to become a more experienced Counsellor and professional Life Coach, which has given me an invaluable perspective on Life. Of course everyone is different and has their own personal challenges and everyone’s challenges are unique to them and that's why I am here to offer you a confidential relaxed space in leafy Surrey, via telephone or over the internet, here I am able to listen to you in a non-judgemental way and be real".  Claire will help you to unravel that Ball of String, find yourself and help you to understand the choices you have in your life today.

This episode is with Olympic Bronze Medalist boxer Anthony Ogogo. His story is inspirational and fascinating with so much to overcome and yet still competing at the highest level. We have an open and honest chat about his journey from humble beginnings in Lowestoft, to the 2012 London Olympics. We then go from turning Pro after being one of the most exciting prospects for some time to his devastating setback with an eye injury that was to end his career. Anthony is now reinventing himself in the Pro-Wrestling world and I'm sure with his drive and determination he will have great success.

I was introduced to Ash Lyman by last weeks guest, Ruby at ZeroGapped magazine. Ash is a Barber from North Carolina, USA.

Ash saw an article about Haircuts4Homeless in ZeroGapped magazine and wanted to do the same where she lives. The amazing thing is that Ash now gives free haircuts at the day center that used to help her. Ash is an amazing example of someone going full circle, helping others who have helped her. She has complete empathy with her guests and is authentic and honest and I was privileged to talk to her.

I really hope that one day I can get over there and work by her side.

Much love to Ash and the people of North Carolina.

I had a great chat with Ruby. A no-nonsense female barber who when she saw there were no magazines catering for the female barber, she created one herself.

ZeroGapped magazine is the brainchild of Ruby a previous editor and publisher, she saw a gap in the market for a barbering magazine just for women who cut short hair and rock it in style.

" I trained as a Hairdresser upon leaving school at 15, training with the John English Group, entering various competitions and being awarded ‘Hairdresser Of The Year’ judged by Jingles In London.

I fell Into Sales & Marketing at 19 years old within the Publishing Industry and there I remained working for many Blue Chip organisations and clients for 28 years.

I decided I wanted to combine my skills and so I set about studying with TPG Education http://www.tpgeducation.co.uk/  In Manchester, where I completed a VTCT L2 In Barbering https://www.vtct.org.uk/qualification-category/hairdressing-barbering/

I advanced pretty quickly as I had already previous training under my belt and off I went to get the shop floor experience I needed to perfect the craft.

I have worked at numerous Barbershops and I started my own Pop-Up Barber Business 2 years ago https://www.facebook.com/femaleonlybarber/ where I operate at Pride & LGBTQ Festivals & Events across the UK Barbering for women!! This has been a roaring success and even more following the ever-popular TV Series, Gentleman Jack!! I have appeared on Radio, stage etc and various organised events.

A bit about me but now It’s all about you … the reader and I hope you enjoy ZEROGapped as much as I’ve enjoyed bringing It to life!! "

Growing up with Daniel as his father, Luke’s lifelong love of all things hair began at the age of four. A full-time stylist by the time he was 19, he went on to make a name for himself as a leading session stylist – working for the biggest fashion designers in the game, as well as the likes of American, British, French and Italian Vogue. Widely regarded as one of the most influential names in hair, the vision, ingenuity and passion he shares with his father, means that Hershesons is now the go-to, aspirational brand for women from all four corners of the globe. To this day, he believes that seen through the right eyes, so-called limits are merely limitless possibilities. So, everyone can have great hair.

Stacy who lost both her legs to a deadly flesh-eating bug has become the first double amputee in Europe to appear on the catwalk.

Stacy Paris, 31, had her left leg amputated in 2009 after contracting necrotising fasciitis on a holiday in France.

And when the infection returned for a second time five years later she lost her remaining leg.

Now though she has overcome the odds to forge a name for herself in the fashion industry - after increasing the length of her prosthetic limbs by three inches.

Stacy, from Bridge of Allan in Stirlingshire, Scotland, said: "I used to look at fashion and nobody represented me.

"After coming out of hospital, I've slimmed down a bit from a size 10 but that was my choice.

"Then I looked at models and they are all quite tall, so I got my prosthetics changed from five foot six inches to five foot nine inches.

"Modelling was never something I wanted to do but then a couple of years passed and I did a couple of fashion shows and now I'm the only double amputee model in the UK.”

SHANDRA WOWORUNTU would not have been considered at risk of being trafficked. She would never have been considered vulnerable. And yet, when she was 25 years old, Shandra became a victim of human trafficking.

Shandra graduated from college with a major in Finance and Bank Management in her native Indonesia. After graduation, she became the manager of the Treasury Department of the Korea Exchange Bank in Indonesia, specialising in money market trading. She was a brilliant financial analyst and was well on her way to a very promising career. She was also an avid human rights activist who spoke out on behalf of labor rights.

When political turbulence erupted, she lost her job because of economic, religious, and racial persecution. Looking for an opportunity to work in the US, where she thought she would be free of danger, she responded to an advertisement for a job that promised a six month position in the hotel industry in Chicago.

It was not long after arriving in the bustling terminal at New York City’s JFK airport, that Shandra realised the brutal truth that she had been trafficked. The agent who met her at the airport brought her to a van and drove her to the brothel and took control of her passport and identification. Shandra tried to protest, but he put a gun to her head, and she immediately knew that her dreams were on hold.

Shandra found herself in an underworld of sex trafficking and prostitution that she never imagined before coming to the US. She was forced to perform sexual favors for 24 hours a day at different brothels throughout NYC and Connecticut. After many attempts, she was able to escape her kidnappers by jumping out of a bathroom window in Brooklyn.

But escape was not easy. Shandra was forced to survive without money or shelter. She was far from her family and her support system back home. She finally met someone who connected her to law enforcement, and she received a referral to Safe Horizon, a victim assistance agency in New York, where advocates helped her to get back on her feet.

But Shandra wasn’t satisfied with simply escaping. She exposed the criminal trafficking enterprise to federal and local law enforcement authorities. The traffickers were brought to justice and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

After many years of living in silence, she was encouraged to join the movement against human trafficking. Shandra is now an inspirational speaker whose mission is to raise awareness and educate the community through her experience as a survivor of sex trafficking and domestic violence. She has spoken passionately to faith-based organisations, medical professionals, and legislators. She works with anti-human trafficking advocacy groups and is a legislative lobbyist in Washington DC. In 2011, she started a survivor leadership group called “Voices of Hope” through Safe Horizon. To ensure that people in Indonesia do not fall into the same trap she did, Shandra helped create a facebook page called “Stop Human Trafficking di Indonesia.”

Like all of the survivors at Survivors of Slavery, Shandra has dedicated her life to ensuring a life free of violence and captivity for people like herself.

I was introduced to Georgia Gabriel-Hooper by a previous guest Jodie Keegans and was blown away by this amazing, courageous, formidable young woman. Her story absolutely stopped me in my tracks and her bravery and fortitude blow me away.

This is a long podcast but I wanted to keep it in one episode as you may, like me, may be invested to the end.

The fact that Georgia has been through so much at such a young age and now has the energy and will to devote her life at such a young age is astounding.

Georgia not only helps countless people with her strength and hope but is campaigning, with others, in backing the call for a register of domestic abusers.

If you are moved by this as I was, please follow Georgia and give her and others the support they need.

I first met Paul Jones when he asked me to be a guest on his Paul Jones Project after being recommend by my good friend Neil Moody.

I really enjoyed it and said that " you've shown me yours so let me show you mine " so he agreed to be a guest on Hear Me, See Me Podcast. He is funny, entertaining and his positivity is infectious. I thoroughly enjoyed our chat and even though I was suffering from a deadly case of Man Flu ( I miraculously recovered ) I came off our chat with a real lift, such is his nature of his personality.

Paul started his PJP video series during the pandemic to give people a lift and as an antidote to the depressing situation we were in and he helped so many people in and out of the industry alike.

We are determined to collaborate after lockdown and he really will be an fantastic addition to the Haircuts4Homeless family.

We had a great chat and who would think that two people talking about such an

emotive subject could laugh so much. Helen is brave, funny and inspirational.

Helen is Features Editor of the ITV Lorraine show and has enjoyed almost 20 years

in the television industry covering everything from the US elections to the latest

fashion and beauty trends. The mum of 3 created a national breast cancer

awareness campaign with Lorraine called ‘Change And Check’ whilst fighting her

own aggressive diagnosis. The simple reminder sticker initiative which goes on

shop/gym changing room mirrors has been supported by the likes of John Lewis,

Asda, David Lloyd and Monsoon (to name a few). The lifesaving campaign has been

discussed in Parliament, adopted by the police force nationwide and the Royal Mail

even put it on their post marks during Breast Cancer Awareness month. Since

launch in 2019, 48 women so far have said that ‘Change and Check’ saved their lives.

Now through treatment, Helen spends her spare time raising awareness and offering

support to fellow cancer thrivers via her instagram @TheTittyGritty and is thrilled to

have launched passion project The C List which she knows will help the cancer

community hugely.

I have heard Leon's inspirational story on other podcasts and was really pleased when he agreed to come on mine. This is his story in his own words.

" On Saturday 3rd June 2017 my life changed in a way I could never have prepared for.

While on a foot patrol with my colleague, we stepped into a situation that I can hardly find the right words to explain as the atrocities of the London Bridge and Borough Market terror attack began to unfold.

Although I didn’t sustain the physical injuries or worse that so many others unfortunately did, the events have no doubt left their mark.

I know for certain that many of my colleagues and fellow members of the blue light family that responded to calls for assistance have been affected along with the countless other members of the public, and while that night was beyond the norm, emergency services personnel are faced with traumatic events on a daily basis all over the country. The horrendous scenes of Grenfell and the continued attacks on British shores only serve to highlight this.

We’re all only human, but yet we all come back in day after day to do it all again never knowing what’s around the corner.

Clearly though there’s only so much a person can take, and it seems that only recently proper attention has been paid to mental health and wellbeing. No matter how big or small, things will always leave a mark. "

Fine artist, curator and Ministry of Arts Podcast host Gary Mansfield has had a most unlikely induction into the world of art: serving a fourteen year prison sentence in his early twenties for drug importation, Mansfield discovered the catalogue for the 1999 Saatchi exhibition Sensation, which brought together the group of artists known as the YBAs. and Mark Wallinger.

Inspired by the work he saw, Mansfield contacted these up-and-coming artists form his cell, asking for information on their work and careers. A bold move, Mansfield’s bold move was well received, and led to correspondences that would last throughout his sentence with the likes of Sarah Lucas, Gavin Turk, Gary Hume, Mark Titchner and Mark Wallinger.

Under their guidance, Mansfield eventually completed a degree in Fine Art: an achievement that would come to have a profound and lasting impact on his sene of self. Since completing his degree, Mansfield has collaborated with the a number of the YBAs on various artworks and projects. He also works closely with prisoners & ex-offenders, curates large exhibitions to raising funds for various charities, and is a board member of the Koestler Trust. Intimately tied to his early life experiences, Mansfield’s works explore themes of incarceration, focusing on the material enclosures of prison life, for a powerful and politically charged aesthetic.

Gary is funny, inspirational and proof that a leopard can change his spots.

This episode was an absolute joy for me as it is one of my absolute hair heroes, Sam McKnight.

Celebrated session hair stylist, Sam McKnight, is the hairdresser's hairdresser. He boasts a legendary career spanning over four decades encompassing catwalk, editorial and advertising campaigns for fashion houses such as Chanel, Fendi, Balmain, Burberry and Tom Ford. A regular contributor to both British and international Vogues, W, Harper’s Bazaar, Vanity Fair, i-D and Love, he has over 100 covers to his name from British Vogue alone. McKnight is also a Contributing Beauty Editor at British Vogue. 

McKnight has collaborated with some of the world’s most prominent photographers including Patrick Demarchelier, Mario Testino and Nick Knight. A long-time stylist for the late Princess Diana, McKnight was the creative behind her iconic short, slicked back hairstyle in the now-famous 1990 Demarchelier shoot for British Vogue, a partnership that led to him becoming her personal hair stylist for seven years.

One of the original session stylists, McKnight initially trained as a teacher before working as an assistant at a local hairdresser in his native Scotland. Moving to London in the early 1970’s, McKnight secured a position at Molton Brown, which at the time was a leading hair salon in London’s South Molton Street. He worked on projects for London-based magazines 19 and Honey before landing his first editorial shoot with British Vogue in 1977. While working in London, he was introduced to stylists Liz Tilberis (later editor of British Vogue and Harpers Bazaar US) and Lucinda Chambers (British Vogue), who were instrumental in hiring him for high-profile editorial shoots.

McKnight has been bestowed the Lifetime Achievement Award at both the Scottish Fashion Awards and Creative Head Awards 2015. He is hugely respected within the hairdressing community and is often cited as a source of inspiration or named as ‘the hairstylist I would most like to work with’ by his peers.

On November 2nd 2016, Somerset House launched Hair by Sam McKnight, a major exhibition celebrating McKnight’s impressive career. Never before has an exhibition of this kind taken place, looking at hair from a new perspective and celebrating the significant role of session hair styling in both fashion and culture throughout the decades.

In tandem, McKnight also released his first book: Hair by Sam McKnight (Rizzoli), a hardback anthology of his magazine covers, editorial shoots and personal insights into working at the heart of the fashion industry.

June 2017 saw McKnight launch a brand: Hair by Sam McKnight, in Liberty of London, injecting fashion, glamour and ease into haircare and styling. The collection is the culmination of McKnight’s knowledge and experience in the industry, giving women the tools and confidence to style their hair themselves.

Jodie Keegans first appeared on my podcast in 2020 when I released a week long series about domestic abuse which is reported to escalate during lockdown. As with the other guests, Jodie's bravery was breathtaking and has had a profound effect on me. I must add that domestic violence is not gender specific and affects all walks of life.

With the recent lockdown it's reported that domestic violence is spiralling and I thought it would be good to get Jodie back to update us, especially now that we have the podcast on video enabling us to see Jodie's bravery shine through.

Jodie speaks very frankly about her experience so it may be hard for some people to listen to.

I have even more admiration for Jodie after this and for the organisations that help people in this position.

Photographer Debbi Clark discusses her love of black & white and how the landscape of the face helps her find the essence of her subject….

It was accident rather than design that helped Debbi Clark discover her passion for portrait photography. Now 52, she originally studied fashion and illustration at Central St Martin’s College of Art, but when she picked up her first camera – an Olympus Pen F 35mm film camera – to record patterns for research, everything changed: ‘I just fell in love with it all. It literally transformed everything.’

Although she had a natural eye for pinpointing the shot, she admits it took a while to get up to speed with the technical side. ‘I was 26 years old when I started, and I didn’t always get the shot that was in my mind’s eye because I didn’t have the technical experience. So, when it started to come together and truly gel, it was amazing.’

Black and white landscape photography was Debbi’s first love, using the Olympus Pen D2 35mm film camera. ‘I was slightly obsessed with clouds,’ she says. ‘You could get so many nuanced shades within both black and white – to me, it almost became colour.’

Debbi’s impressive portfolio includes high-fashion editorial for the likes of Italian Vogue, and interiors, but it’s her striking mono portraits that have helped make her mark in the photography world. Echoes of provocative fashion photographer Helmut Newton and Terry O’Neill (the British photographer often hailed as one of the greatest celebrity photographers of the 20th century) are visible in her work, but her portraits are fast becoming iconic in their own right.

‘In a way, people’s faces are similar to landscapes,’ she says. ‘Their bone structure, lines and the way they look at certain angles are what I work with. It’s then about capturing their essence.’

“I love the incredible quality of image you get with this camera.”

Well-known faces she has immortalised include a rakish Paul Weller getting fitted for a suit, actress Sadie Frost and actor Damian Lewis. ‘I love colour, but I always seem to veer back to black and white,’ Debbi explains. ‘It’s a medium that seems to ‘own’ it when it comes to portraits. I know instantly when I meet the subject which direction I’ll go in.’

London-based Clark says she doesn’t get star-struck, apart from a commission to shoot the photographer’s photographer – Lord Snowdon – at his own studio at home in Kensington in 2012. Snowdon wore a suit and rather serious demeanour and suggested Debbi harness the studio’s natural light during the session, which she shot on an Olympus OM-D E-M5.

Keen to go her own way, she initially used an LED daylight panel from the left side, but Snowdon still pressed for his original idea: ‘And of course he was right,’ Debbi says. ‘As I admitted that out loud, the smallest little smile formed on his face and that was the shot. He became truly alive in that moment because he had shared something he was passionate about.’

A drive to share her own knowledge and inspire others led Debbi to set up the Sir Hubert von Herkomer Arts Foundation in 2013. Aimed at providing a gateway to photography and the arts for underprivileged and gifted children between the ages of five and 18, it has also led to a successful collaboration with Olympus who recently provided 12 EPL-8 cameras for a pop-up summer project in Camden, London, where the novice photographers shot a film documentary, music video and mini-exhibition.

The project has also seen Debbi using her beloved Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II at every opportunity. She says: ‘I’ve worked with lots of cameras – including Nikon and Canon – but the clarity with the Olympus is beyond comparison. I love the incredible quality of image you get with this camera, but it’s far more than that. The huge amount of manual control you have is brilliant, the autofocus system is quick and intelligent to use, the ISO range is fantastic and of course, the four-thirds sensor on this beauty is insane! It all comes together to make this camera one of the best I’ve used – and believe me, I’ve tried quite a few!’

Chocolate Creator. Explorer. Podcaster.

" Why the move into podcasts? 

Podcasts are a wonderful medium and anyone who knows me knows how I love to chat with people.  I find life and people fascinating and enjoy gaining insights into what makes people tick. So why not bring my business experience (things I got right, things I got very wrong and things I did just about ok) and a guest’s business insight to share with you? 

Why the name Hope & Patience?

Firstly, I believe they are two vital qualities required to thrive.

And secondly, Hope & Patience were the names of my two amazing Grannies.  They were complete opposites … one small and squeezy, the other tall and willowy.  Hope lived in East Suffolk … Patience in West. Both were strong, capable, spirited women who put themselves last in the pecking order.  I have no idea what they would think of being the name of my podcast venture but hopefully they would give it the thumbs up! "

Amelia's energy and positivity are infectious. We had a great chat and she even sent me some of her beautiful chocolate.

I had heard of Zoe’s work over the years so when a good friend of mine was going through chemotherapy and wanted to source a wig, Zoe was the first person I thought of.

It is such a sensitive process and Zoe’s handling of the situation was kind and sincere.

I immediately thought Zoe would make a great guest and this is that conversation.

Darren Garwood is the author of Jackson Superhero and it was a privilege to have him as a guest on my podcast and hear his inspirational story.

Jackson Superhero might not be a real name, but it is a story about a real boy, and as the name suggests, Jackson is far from ordinary. 

​

From birth, the real Jackson was like every other child. He passed all the regular milestones like talking, eating by himself, and generally enjoying life. But just after his first birthday Jackson started to lose key skills. This is when he was diagnosed with Krabbe disease and wasn't expected to live beyond the age of two.

​

By mustering all his strength, and with a lot of love from his mum and dad, Jackson is still doing well at age of five. The moral of the story is that while he may be limited during the day, in the evening, when he dreams, Jackson can be anything he wants to be.

​

We believe this fantastic story of a young boy going above and beyond, will bring inspiration to parents and children who, for one reason or another, have to muster their superpowers on daily basis. This book is for those who have to push back against daily challenges, for whom comfort and happiness require extra patience, strength, and love. Just as importantly, it's for those who rely on the support and inspiration of others. No matter what kind of day you are having, we believe these books, still will make you smile. 

Please enjoy.

Former child genocide survivor, Taban Shoresh is the founder of The Lotus Flower, a non-profit for women and girls that currently supports survivors of conflict in Kurdistan, Northern Iraq and Germany. Taban first established The Lotus Flower in London in 2016, after witnessing ISIS committing genocide in her homeland, some three decades after she endured similar atrocity and devastation during Saddam Hussein’s reign. With a tight-knit community of colleagues and advocates, Taban enables women and girls to flourish safely and on their own terms. As a fledgling charity, they have little funding but are making a significant impact. A hardworking network of staff deliver a host of programmes on the ground in Kurdistan which drive social and economic change through projects such as the Women’s Business Incubator, Boxing Sisters, Sewing Sisters and Baking Sisters, which empower women to learn skills that they can use to earn a living.

Hearing Taban's story literally took my breath away. Taban is an absolutely amazing woman and her story needs to be shared worldwide and full support given to her charity.

This week's guest is very special. She is a very successful Instagrammer but also my daughter. She has an account called Crazy New Mumma and it is a open and honest account of her life with my granddaughter Mya.

She discuses having HG ( Hyperemesis Gravidarum ) and being hospitalised through the lockdown. She is an advocate of breast feeding in public and positive body image.

It was a bit surreal talking in this situation but we had a great time and I hope you enjoy it.

This week I’m talking to the bee man Kim Burnham, who began bee keeping with his son Sam as a way of bonding but it has now become a way of life.

“Sam and Kim, have worked together since 2012. Learning their craft separately - Kim (as a young man in the United States), Sam (as a Bee Keeping Apprentice). Their first apiary sites were located within local Essex country parks e.g. (Langdon Hills and Wat Tyler). They both realised very early on that they needed to bridge the gaps between current bee farming techniques and not impactIng the other wild pollinators. The answer was to find a balance and actively maintain it, hence adopting and embracing fully a holistic approach with a test and measure capability.

As a business Sam and Kim realised they would have to do more than just the seasonality of honey. So Sam began researching bee venom (apitoxin) and later other honey bee products and through discussion and more focused research they pieced together what was required to purify each to cosmetic grade. They then began looking at serums as they wanted to differentiate from their competitors e.g. (creams all contain up to 60% water (H2O) and legally require biocides for safe use). “....

“I’ve always liked a plant, especially the wild sort. Ever since i was a kid i’ve used our native flowers, and then finally in 1998 I started the Grass Roof Company. Since then we have introduced wild landscapes into schools, public space and onto roofs 

We can use this love of plants as a tool to change places for people and for other wildlife. Greenspace is key in making places liveable and good. We are privileged to work in public space as the potential to change and improve our towns and cities is huge and so underplayed.”...John Little.

Nicola Waller is one of our unsung heroes. Nicola runs her own barbershop, has three boys and still finds time to run two of our Haircuts4Homeless projects in Southend on Sea and Shoeburyness.

We had a great conversation about being a woman in the very male dominant barber world, and what motivates her to help people. It was funny, interesting and emotional and made me realise even more how special she is.

In summer 1998, Errol opened the Errol Douglas salon in London’s Belgravia on beautiful Motcomb Street.

I have the utmost respect for this weeks guest as a hairdresser and a human being. We had an amazing conversation and even though we went to very personal depths ( I think we are both open books ) he had me in fits of laughter. I think he is best described by what people say about him.

Bella Freud's eponymous and instantly recognisable label has come to signify an intellectual playfulness. Bella is a storyteller who uses style as her vehicle. Controversy and innovation are hardwired into her DNA: the artistic trailblazing of her father, the artist Lucian, the psychoanalytic pioneering of her great grandfather Sigmund, are subtly woven through her work.

Bella’s designs and word jumpers have gained a devoted following. Worn by the likes of Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Keith Richards, Laura Bailey, Salma Hayek, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jane Fonda and Eddie Redmayne, they are the embodiment of her preoccupation with appropriating serious ideas about the subconscious into a playful fashion context.

By combining Bella Freud’s love of interiors and homeware the brand has expanded to include a range of lifestyle products such as cushions, blankets and rugs. Bella Freud launched her parfum business in 2012 which has grown to include a collection of thirteen candles, six perfumes, candle sets and matches.

Passionate about cinema, Bella’s fashion film collaborations started in 1991 and include a trio of shorts made with John Malkovich: Strap Hanging (1999), Lady Behave (2000) and Hideous Man (2002). Her most recent film Girl Boils Egg, was directed by Bella and commissioned for Nick Knight’s SHOWstudio in 2013.

The launch of her first stand-alone boutique in 2015, in the style hub of Marylebone’s Chiltern Street, has seen her knitwear, tailored suits, subversively demure dresses, parfums and homeware gain a cult following.

 Bella was born in London and studied in Rome. After training with Vivienne Westwood, Bella launched her eponymous womenswear label in 1990.

I have known Steve Kerridge all of my adult life and have the utmost respect for him as a martial artist, writer and a man who has given his life to his community.

He started martial arts at a young age and has given his life to it along with becoming a prolific writer and expert on the life of Bruce Lee and one of the few people endorsed by the Bruce Lee family.

His academy in Essex has produced many a world champion but his passion lies in nurturing confidence in young people in a relatively deprived area. Steve is another unsung hero who deserves the recognition for all his amazing work.

Michelle’s podcast is the last in my series highlighting the escalating problem of domestic abuse but by no means the least.

Her story is one of absolute bravery and determination and was difficult to hear as her sister is a very good friend of mine and another strong, kind woman.

Even though the circumstances may be different in these stories the similarities mount up with the lies, conceit, ego, manipulation and violence.

Every story of each woman that survives and overcomes these experiences gives hope to so many more.

I was introduced to the amazing Suzanne Ruston through an earlier guest, Jodie Woodward, who are partners in an amazing initiative called Unchained domestic abuse training.

When you talk to Suzanne, she is an absolute spitfire and it’s hard to believe that anyone could take advantage of her but such is the nature of this issue.

It was another story that was very hard to listen to but is full of courage, bravery, hope and inspiration.

Im sure that Suzanne and Jodie will go on to do incredible things with Unchained domestic abuse training and will use their experience to help many people.

Soon after moving South she began Kickboxing as a hobby and to give her internal strength and confidence that she lacked after being in an abusive relationship, only to be so good that after just three months her trainer suggested that she entered her first competition. She was hooked immediately and proved to be a natural and was undefeated in twenty-five fights, winning two British Titles. She wanted to have a deeper understanding of the way her body moved and worked to make her a better athlete, so studied for a Diploma in Sports Massage therapy and gained a YMCA Personal Trainer qualification whilst working full time as a Forensic Photographer.

After six years competing in Kick Boxing, Cathy was approached by a Professional Boxing Promoter and she applied to the British Boxing Board of Control for her Professional Boxers License, they accepted as they recognized her talent and she became only the second woman in the UK to hold a Professional Boxing license. She loved the sport’s fierce competition and its tough training, and was determined to be the best, so she gave up her job with the Metropolitan Police and became a personal trainer at The Third Space Gym (www.thethirdspace.com) so that she could dedicate more time to her training. Within a year she won the European Flyweight Title, and after ten years and twenty-one Professional fights, she became the first ever British female to win a Professional English Title in sporting history and became ranked number three in the World within the Flyweight division. She conquered intense sexism whilst trying to be the best in the World and she says her biggest fight was outside the ring trying to get into the ring but it gave her even more determination to follow her dream.

Highly attractive with a charismatic personality, 5’ 1” Cathy looks more suited to the glamorous world of modelling and TV than the boxing ring but her non-stop aggressive fighting-style and fierce determination made her a genuine world title contender. She competed for WBC, WIBF, WBF World Titles, WIBF, GBU and WBU International Titles in Germany, Italy and Hungary in three different weight divisions: Light Flyweight, Flyweight and Bantamweight. But unfortunately had to retire in 2007 due to neural damage in her neck, it broke her heart to have to stop doing a sport she loved, but she carried on furthering her knowledge of strength, conditioning, sports psychology for athletes and cognitive behaviour therapy to enable her to help others achieve their aspirations. Cathy is a true inspiration for mental, physical strength and motivation as she has conquered a lot of hurdles in her life, she is currently a personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, professional boxing and kick boxing coach and cognitive behaviour therapist at The Third Space Gym. She has participated in a diverse range of challenges other than Boxing including sailing across the Atlantic in a World record attempt with Emma Richards and took part in a 120km running and climbing race in the Verdon Canyon, France to raise money for SPARKS charity.

Cathy has worked with REFUGE charity to help victims of Domestic Violence as she finds it extremely rewarding to help advance people consciously, and she is proud to get people to look in the mirror and see how much they can and have achieved mentally and physically. She has worked with the MENTAL HEALTH FOUNDATION as she wanted to raise awareness of the great impact that exercise and well being has on a positive and strong mental state, as she has experienced the first hand positive effects. She uses her life experiences and training as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist to help individuals become stronger mentally and physically and currently runs EMPOWERING WOMEN workshops, speeches and presentations. Cathy currently is an ambassador for THE LOTUS FLOWER charity on a Worldwide ‘Boxing Sisters” project (see THE CHARITY WORKER page). She has also worked as a movement director on Music videos, Operas, Adverts and TV shows helping performers with their get into relevant psychological mind sets and specific physical movement.  And is constantly in the media as an expert, coverage on the charity work she does.

In 2015 Cathy teamed up with professional boxing coach Greg Williams and foundered Boxology® Academy. They run boxing education courses; Boxology® Round 1 and Round 2, aimed at personal trainers, sports coaches, martial art and boxing coaches, to teach correct pad holding and boxing techniques.  All courses are endorsed by ActiveIQ, CIMSPA and British Boxing Board of Control.

I heard Jodie speak earlier this year at the Hair and Beauty Charity event and was blown away by her bravery and was completely inspired.

When she agreed to do the podcast I was so pleased but nothing could prepare me for her story.

The podcast is difficult to listen to but must be heard to help anyone who may be going through this at the moment, especially with us in lockdown.

Please be aware that the content is very graphic but is full of courage and hope.

I would urge everyone to not only listen but to share as much as possible to get this crucial message out.
