#164 How to Be More Human with Tony Riddle

“We can’t all live in nature, but that doesn’t mean we can’t live naturally.” - Tony Riddle In this week's episode of The Unconventionalists podcast, Mark Leruste sits down with Tony Riddle, aka The Natural Lifestylist. Tony is a natural lifestyle coach, father, husband, author and record-breaking barefoot endurance athlete whose brand-new debut book Be More Human is out today. As a third time guest on The Unconventionalists podcast, Tony always brings a wealth of knowledge, is never afraid to challenge the status quo,  is a brilliant storyteller and as a result has fast become a fan favourite of the show. As you will find out, Tony first shared his story in full on this very podcast back in 2016, so it was an honour to get to catch up after so long. In between his busy schedule and media obligations, Tony made the time to jump on the mic and share his incredible but true journey of being rejected as an author to building a 70,000+ strong thriving community online and landing a major Penguin Life book deal for his first book. “It’s not about becoming Captain Fantastic, it’s about designing simple ways of living that create greater health and wellbeing for future generations and for our planet. In essence, it’s disconnecting from our ‘ego-system’ and reconnecting to our ecosystem.” - Tony Riddle Tony has been featured extensively in the press from The Times, Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, Telegraph Magazine, New York Times, Men’s Health, Evening Standard, and on BBC Breakfast, Sky News, The Rich Roll Podcast, Feel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee, and many others.

Who cares what people think of you next time you squat down on the tube, Tony has been a friend in my life who always pushes the boundaries of what could be if only you give yourself the permission to be all you can be.
