    #84 - Enthusiasm - Greg Lawley 🇺🇸

    This week’s guest is Greg Lawley, whose European roots run through his family history, but whose energy and impact are very much felt right here in his fitness community, every day. Greg is a person whose enthusiasm can’t be ignored and we dig into how, after various geographical and vocational changes, he’s found a way to channel it into something meaningful: helping others become stronger, more confident, and more connected through his CrossFit gym, Bridge Athletics. #crossingthepondpodcast #enthusiasm #motivation #grit #crossfit #personaljourney #embraceyourself

    #83 - Grounding - Gareth Gore 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    My guest this week is Gareth Gore may be a journalist and author of a critically acclaimed book but, more importantly, he’s an old friend from his working class upbringing in Wigan, to the halls of Cambridge University, then onto the sharp end of financial journalism and best-selling books, he’s never truly forgotten where he came from. We talk about the importance of hard work, the class divides as you move through the journalism ranks, friendship, and staying grounded at all times wherever you are in the world. #Journalism #FinancialJournalism #AuthorInterview #InvestigativeJournalism #WorkingClassRoots #StayingGrounded #HardWorkPays #ClassAndCulture #LifeJourneys #Friendship #Wigan #wiganers #CambridgeUniversity #BritishJournalism #FromWhereYoureFrom #BehindTheBook #WritersOfInstagram #MediaCareers #VoicesThatMatter #grounding
