So it's a very personal project.

It's a nice full circle moment for me in many ways because I started posting on social media in August of 2018 as a way of fundraising for my first Movember event.

And that was as a result of me just one day opening my laptop in a coffee shop whilst I was working down here in London.

And I just got hit with this white noise that I recognized from previous experiences when I was feeling worse as a lack of fulfillment and sort of spiraling a bit towards depression.

So there's actually quite a simple answer for it which is I did Heineken's grad scheme in London and it was six, seven, eight months of nothing really changing where I was kind of going out to do a job that had no purpose day to day and

I've always been very purpose and fulfillment driven.

And I tried to sort of just enjoy the process of trying to learn what I could.

But at the end of the day, I was a driven young man without anything to sort of channel into other than my training.

I was still focused on powerlifting and a little bit of bodybuilding, but very much strength output focused.

And...

Yeah, one day I just opened my laptop and thought, this is not ticking the boxes for you at all.

And I was young, so there was a part of me that thought, you know what, it's quite cool that maybe you don't have too much pressure from your job and you can explore London and all these things.

But whatever it was that day,

I said, you're not fulfilled.

You've been here before.

It nearly ended badly.

This was 2018.

And I decided, okay, I'm going to try and do something for charity.

Movember done some stuff for them with rugby in the past.

What am I good at?
