Ep. 22 - Why Not? with Matt Formston

We have our first blind guest on Flying Blind this week with Matt Formston joining Ben for our first ever blind to blind chat!  Matt is a big wave and world champion surfer, Paralympian, speaker and author. He has a list of achievements a mile long that to most of us would just seem outright ridiculous however driven by the question and title of his new book, ‘Why Not?’ combined with enormous amounts of trust, Matt is a living example of what’s possible with the right mindset and strategies.  Matt shares openly what life has been like for him being blind, his low points, how he pulled himself out of them as well as how he doesn’t let not being able to see hold him back today.    Pre-order Matt’s new book ‘Why Not?’ and go into the draw to win an iPhone Air, JS Surfboard or Billabong Wetsuit! https://www.mattformston.com/books/why-not-pre-sale  To find out about booking Matt for your next event or learn more, check out- https://www.mattformston.com/  Stay in touch with Matt and his blind adventures on socials--  Instagram: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattformston Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mattformstonofficial/  Get around Flying Blind on socials! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flyingblindpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Flying-Blind-Podcast/61580557913440/#  If you’ve got a question, guest suggestion or just want to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
