Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Martin Cosser – Saving Lives Through Charlie’s Promise
Q: How can we help?

Martin Cosser – Saving Lives Through Charlie’s Promise
Q: Tell me about Charlie and who he was.
Martin remembers Charlie as a funny, kind, laid-back and talented boy who was close to his family and friends. He describes Charlie's football, his apprenticeship at Charterhouse School and acts of kindness toward others.
Damian Rowley's Midlife Awakening on a Solo Motorbike Adventure
Q: What did you learn about yourself as you started to turn off the noise of UK living and got into your groove as a solo traveler?
He learned to accept help, become less stressed and less attached to possessions, and live with uncertainty by focusing on what was immediately in front of him.
Damian Rowley's Midlife Awakening on a Solo Motorbike Adventure
Q: What led you to decide to leave your job and travel?
Burnout, back pain, the end of a relationship, his mother's death and the realization that he had less life ahead than behind him combined to push him to act before his health limited him further.
Becoming More Marine with Major Scotty Mills
Q: Tell me about the marathon attempt with the kit on your back and not getting it right the first couple of times. Is that a good example?
Mills recounts early failed attempts to break a team record for a marathon carrying 40 pounds. After a teammate suffered heat exhaustion, the team stopped rather than risk his life. They later improved their preparation and communication, and broke the record together.
