#191 - Intricacy to Consistency with Toby Simmons The Hope Initiative
-
- Personal Journals
“There's so many people that are sat in their houses right now working with some amazing idea that they’ll never put it to work because they're so scared of what the results may be. I count my blessings that I just sort of went, ‘I'm gonna spend all my money on this for a little bit’, because now coming into my future projects, I'm going with exactly the same approach, and I'll favor that over the one of buying a house or all the standard 1, 2, 3 things that you would be expected to do in society.
I wanna put these things in place in a different position, and I would implore anybody who's got these sorts of ideas to just give it a go if you're in the situation too, because it can absolutely change your life. Whether it works or whether it just changes your mindset on certain things that you are used to working in.”
Episode #191 of The Hope Initiative with Toby Simmons
A super fun chat with Toby. He’s a consistent fella and super patient with me in getting this episode out - we recorded it a week or so before the end of 2023.
In it, we discuss his bias for extreme sports, suffering from ADHD and from a young age being called up by the world to be a consistent man. A battle with suicidal thoughts in 2018 and turning things around off the back of Covid which were his “thousand days”.
Toby is now in the midst of training for his first Ironman 70.3 race and we chat business, social media and training for that plus plenty more.
Super grateful for his time and all of you tuning in to listen. I do hope you enjoy as much as I have putting it together 😄
Cheers
