Someone's gotta do it

In episode fourteen of Someone's Gotta Do It, I sit down with Jack Whitty. For most of his life, Jack made decisions based on what he thought other people wanted from him, not what he wanted for himself.He talks about studying IT at college and university despite hating every minute of it, dropping out and being too afraid to tell his dad, working in a coffee shop with horrendous conditions before landing what he describes as the best job he ever had, starting a clothing brand that didn't work out, and taking a council job he thought looked right from the outside but made him miserable on the inside.He opens up about his mental breakdown, walking away from everything that wasn't serving him, and how he found his purpose in calisthenics coaching.This one is about what life looks like when you finally stop living it for other people.You can follow Jack on instagram here - @whittycali - where you can follow his documented journey and find out more about his calisthenics coaching. Jack is as open on instagram as he was in the podcast and is someone to be admired!You can follow us on social media for behind the scenes content;Instagram - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastTikTok - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastFacebook - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastYouTube - SomeonesgottadoitpodAll feedback and guest suggestions welcomed! - [email protected] like and subscribeThis episode is sponsored by;Jax Detailing co Instagram - @jaxdetailcoPhone - 07717077520Email - [email protected] ’Someone’s Gotta Do It Podcast’ when booking Two-puttsWebsite -  www.two-putts.comInstagram - @twoputts_ukTikTok - @Twoputts3Use discount code ’SGDI’ for 15% off your order 

In episode thirteen of Someone's Gotta Do It, I sit down with Andy Hosgood. Andy left university being told he would never amount to anything in the world of physiotherapy. What followed was a career that proved every single one of those doubters wrong.He talks about growing up moving around constantly and developing an ability to connect with absolutely anyone, failing his A-Levels and being offered a university place purely on the strength of his people skills, and building two physiotherapy practices from into thriving businesses that still run today.He also opens up about working as a physio for a Premier League football club, inside one of the UK's top MMA gyms before running Summit Physio and building it into what it is today. Andy also now mentors leaders and has a fantastic podcast called Unlocking human potential.This one is about what happens when the people don’t believe in you and you back yourself anyway.You can find out more about Summit here - https://www.summitphysio.co.ukYou can also listen to Unlocking human potential on all podcast streaming services linked below and also follow the page on Instagram - @Unlock_with_coachingApple - podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/unlocking-human-potential-with-andy-hosgood/id1870292360Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/4Ulz3tJghL1N5itr4KGtd0?si=W-vRpzyNS7uVuiWkEs4uUwYou can follow us on social media for behind the scenes content;Instagram - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastTikTok - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastFacebook - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastYouTube - SomeonesgottadoitpodAll feedback and guest suggestions welcomed! - [email protected] like and subscribeThis episode is sponsored by;Jax Detailing co Instagram - @jaxdetailcoPhone - 07717077520Email - [email protected] ’Someone’s Gotta Do It Podcast’ when booking Two-puttsWebsite -  www.two-putts.comInstagram - @twoputts_ukTikTok - @Twoputts3Use discount code ’SGDI’ for 15% off your order 

In episode twelve of Someone's Gotta Do It, I sit down with Callum Townsend. Callum has been doubted so many times and has always proved that you can do whatever you put your mind to.He talks about growing up in Australia and England, convincing himself he'd get into Cambridge University despite everyone around him saying otherwise, failing his Marines fitness test and coming back to pass it as one of the top recruits, running a 2.33 marathon and leaving his dream job as a firefighter to build a coaching business helping endurance athletes push beyond what they think is possible.This one is about what happens when you simply refuse to accept your own limitations. You can find Callum’s coaching page on instagram @peakperformanceinduranceYou can follow us on social media for behind the scenes content;Instagram - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastTikTok - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastFacebook - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastYouTube - SomeonesgottadoitpodAll feedback and guest suggestions welcomed! - [email protected] like and subscribeThis episode is sponsored by two-putts - www.two-putts.comUse discount code ’SGDI’ for 15% off your order

Soon after, he was adopted by a couple in the UK who gave him exactly that.He talks about growing up adopted, his love of football, building his own sports massage business, and how the COVID-19 pandemic led him into residential childcare, working with children from some of the most complex and difficult backgrounds imaginable.There's a quiet irony that isn't lost on him and he now spends his life helping children who, like him, were need of a better start.He also opens up about meeting his blood sister for the first time, the grief of losing his adoptive mother, becoming a father himself, his alter-ego Taco and the things that keep him grounded.This one is about full circles, and it stayed with me long after we stopped recording. You can follow us on social media for behind the scenes content;Instagram - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastTikTok - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastFacebook - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastYouTube - SomeonesgottadoitpodAll feedback and guest suggestions welcomed! - [email protected] like and subscribeThis episode is sponsored by two-putts - www.two-putts.comUse discount code ’SGDI’ for 15% off your order 

In episode eight of Someone's Gotta Do It, I sit down with Jack Clarke. Jack’s career path takes more turns than anyone I've spoken to so far. Graphic design, customer service, complaints handling, answering 999 calls, travelling the world for a pet company, and a redundancy that left him with nothing before a chance conversation with a local business owner led to selling coffees and donuts from a tuktuk van in Chorley. His passion for coffee and customer interaction then found him opening his own coffee shop.Jack now owns and runs one of the best coffee shops in Preston.He talks about discovering his passion for customer experience in the most unexpected places, what it takes to bounce back from rock bottom, and why sometimes the best opportunities come from the conversations you never planned to have. This story was fantastic and an absolute pleasure to record.You can find Jack’s coffee shop on instagram @lifelatelylifelatelyLife Lately is on Winkley Street in Preston PR1 2AA and is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
