The Resilience Sessions Podcast, which grew out of the Making Generation R programme and pairs injured veterans with public figures to discuss overcoming adversity, is launching a second series.
Olympic athlete and TV broadcaster Kriss Akabusi MBE leads the new line-up as he talks to Member Mat Armitage about childhood experiences, magical thinking, determination and military humour.
“The Members taking part in the Making Generation R programme want to help others develop the sort of resilience they have had to,” said Chief Executive Jon Bryant.
“A number of those Members have had the chance to discuss their stories with public
figures in the podcasts. These well-known personalities have stories of their own, and the benefits of sharing these are huge.”
The new series also features broadcaster and author Emily Dean in discussion with Darren Swift, former NASA astronaut and International Space Station Commander Steve Swanson talking with Jack Cummings, singer and comedienne Judith Owen with Stephen van Niekirk, former SAS leader Billy Bingham talking about self belief and endurance with Al Krol, and fire chief and author Sabrina Cohen-Hatton discussing identity and homelessness with Josh Boggi.
You can tune in to the news series on Wednesday 9th December here.
