FERRI UNFILTERED Chris Ferri

This week I am honoured to have the wonderful and uplifting Natalie Valenti on the show. I am also thankful as this is Natalie’s first ever podcast!

We discuss why she started Yoga, how cold water therapy became a big part of her life and how taking a plunge into a cold Loch Lomond with friends became the start Soulful Sunday.

Natalie kindly opens up about her struggles with anxiety and how she overcame it.

At the end Natalie shares some of her favourite book suggestions which I am sure you will be adding to your reading list.

This week I am joined by my long term friend Mr karma or David Scott as I know him.

David is one talented man. From being on the gig scene with bands at the age of 13 he has went from a front man, solo artist with a record label to then taking the plunge and leaving a highly successful job to set up his own production company from scratch.

We talk about self belief, taking risks and how the universe can and will speak to you in mysterious ways but ultimately set you on the path you were born to follow.

This week I thought, lets share a story with you. A story with a fantastic meaning behind it .You don't have to be BIG and BRAVE to find your ROAR.

On this episode I catch up with my friend and acting legend Ian "Sheepie' Smith.

Ian and I discuss his lucrative career especially in the world of Panto, his times where he had to pivot his skills during lockdown and where he sees his future going.

You are also in for a treat with this episode as Sheepie is tested in a surprise quiz of retro WWE entrance music as he and I both have a passionate love for classic wrestling.

Hello and welcome back to Ferri Unfiltered. I have returned to your ears with a hard hitting first episode. On this chat I will talk you through my journey from being diagnosed with Bowel Cancer and how I was with my journey. This is a subject I have never spoke about by myself. Just me opening up and sharing MY thoughts. I have written about it and been a guest on other shows but never have I faced this alone. This is something I have wanted to do for a while and after speaking to my therapist it is a chapter I want to face head and and close before the end of the year.

Thank you for listening to my show and trust me the rest of the new series is not as deep ha ha we will be having fun and random chat but lets get this tough one out the way first..

P.S
I was so nervous about doing this that I said I am Type 2 Diabetic ha ha I am not I am Type 1. Yes I am a fanny but it shows you how much it took me to sit down and do this.

Enjoy everyone.

This week I am delighted to welcome the legend that is Peter Hartley, a local hero among the mighty Well fans.

I really enjoy talking to Peter, he’s such a down to earth guy. He is a big family man where we share a common ground. The big man also blows my mind with his pizza choice.

In this episode we talk about the good and also challenging points of his new team Jamshedpur F.C who are in the Indian super league and we discuss his plans for the rest of his footballing career. We talk about how his football story began and his journey to where he is now. I love his honesty about his career from under 21s to playing with Hartlepool United, a team he grew up supporting.
