Episode 2 - In this episode we talk to Nick Sutherland, founder of MyndFit.

We discuss among other things how during his time in the Army he always felt like he didn't quite fit in and how a serious injury changed his trajectory on life. Nick gives us his version of the the difference between mental health and mental illness, as well as providing some great advice on how to utilise the space between stimulus and response to live a calmer more peaceful life. It was a great chat with superstar bloke and guaranteed to give you an insight into why this bloke changed my life for the better that fateful day of the 'car crash' - have a listen and all will make sense.
