Torchbearer™ with Olly Hermon-Taylor Olly Hermon-Taylor

From selling over a million pounds worth of sauerkraut to embarking on a multi-year quest of self-healing and inner transformation, I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with digital nomad, transformational coach and found of Laurie's Tummy Loving Foods, Laurie Lathom-Sharp.
Although all of us feel a yearning to break out of our comfort zones and pursue our true calling at some point in our lives, few of us have the courage to actually pursue that quest in real life.
Laurie is an exception and his adventures have taken him all over the world, and lead him to study deeply with many different coaches and mentors, both of the human and plant variety.
Laurie has a huge amount of knowledge, insight and experience to share with anyone looking to transform their life, heal from trauma and chronic health conditions and fill their life with more adventure (which is pretty much describes most people on the planet).
I really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, and please share it with anyone you feel needs to hear it, or would benefit from it.
Remember, sharing is caring, so help spread the word and don't keep it all to yourself!

I finally managed to find a gap in Dr Olivia Lesslar's hectic travel schedule and pin her down for long enough to record this excellent episode of the Torchbearer™ podcast!
Please note, this episode was recorded in October 2022, but only recently published. Since recording, Dr Olivia would like to make clear that the research regarding long-COVID has significantly advanced, along with her approach to treating patients with this condition (something that is becoming increasingly better understood).
We met at the Health Optimisation Summit in London, in May 2022 and, after spending the weekend hanging out with Dr Olivia, I knew I had to get her on the podcast. Deeply knowledgeable, multi-talented and passionate about helping patients with complex, chronic conditions, Dr Olivia bridges the gap between traditional and Functional Medicine, and gives me a lot of hope for the future.
Dr Olivia Ly Lesslar is Australian-educated and has a Bachelor of International Relations with a triple major including French and Diplomacy, and a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery. She finished her residency in 2016 and has completed postgraduate studies in skin cancer medicine and clinical nutrition management. She is currently undertaking a Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy.
 
Dr Olivia has interest and expertise in preventative medicine, psychoneuroimmunology, biohacking, and complex conditions like neurodegeneration, cancer, allergies, and the emerging pentad of MCAS - Dysautonomia - Hypermobility - GI dysmotility - Autoimmunity. Her unique skill set is in problem-solving multisystem, chronic conditions.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into:

My own experiences battling long-COVID (as a kind of live case history that people can learn from)Dr Olivia's approach to helping patients all over the world overcome complex, chronic conditions, rebuild their health and reclaim their lives, using Functional Medicine.How anyone can apply the Foundational Health principles to improve their healthThe good and the bad of biohacking (is it just marketing, or is there value in it)Much more

Enjoy this episode and if you have any questions, are struggling with long-COVID or another long-term, chronic health condition, and have hit a dead end with the traditional medical approach, please get in touch as I would be more than happy to share resources and refer you to someone who can help (like Dr Olivia).

Nowadays everyone seems to be an "entrepreneur" and the internet and social media channels are full of so called experts and business coaches dishing out mediocre advice and over-priced coaching.
Which is why this conversation with Dodge Woodall was so refreshing (and has to be one of my personal favourite episodes so far).
Dodge is a natural-born entrepreneur with a flair for spotting opportunities, finding new categories (niches) and creating win-win situations. A real people person with a confident, easy-going nature, Dodge has a knack for peppering his business stories with streetwise life advice and down-to-earth philosophy that makes so much sense. 
From growing up over a busy London pub and flogging tickets, ice creams, hotdogs and unwanted toys for cash aged 10, to running over 1500 student nightclub events in the 90's and 00's, Dodge is a business pioneer who loves to create unbeatable experiences for his customers.
In this highly enjoyable conversation we cover:

How Dodge's unconventional upbringing taught him the game of businessHow to recognise your strengths and double down on themHow Dodge pioneered the concept of student night events nationwideUpping his game to create the world's first music and sport festival and nearly losing his house in the processDodge's advice if you want to leave your 9-5 and start your own businessAnd so much more
Listen now and then please share this episode and help me grow the podcast.
Thank you!
