On today's episode of RNT Fitness Radio I'm joined by Sandhya Domah, who discusses the concept of Human Design, and how to use it to perform at your highest level in everything you do. After having my own Human Design reading a month or so ago, I thought some of the insights were fascinating, so I wanted to bring Sandhya on to share more. In this episode we discuss the five different types we generally fall in, and what each one means. As a bonus for you all, Sandhya is offering 10% off a Human Design reading for any bookings made before 8th July – the link is in the show notes if you'd like to try it!

Today on RNT Fitness Radio I'm joined by a special guest, Bilal Khan, who's come back on the show after first appearing on episode 113 to talk all about some of the events happening in the world today. The big question we tackle is if black lives seem to matter today, will they matter to organisations, people and government tomorrow? As a diversity and inclusion expert, he says his job shouldn't even exist in this world. Through the episode we talk about whether there's a solution, what the accountability needs to be, protesting during covid, why he didn't post a black square, and how to start tackling the deep rooted racism and stereotyping in society. This is an important conversation that I urge everyone to listen to right to the end, and then share it with someone who needs to hear it too. ''So a lot of people that started with the black square, amazing, but what are you doing next?'' - Bilal Khan Timestamps: 2:13 – Black out Tuesday 11:22 – Social justice 15:36 – Influence of Barack Obama 23:53 – How has this affected Bilal? 25:01 – Should Bilal's job exist? 27:50 – Accountability 29:34 – Why is It important to you? 33:15 – Raising awareness 35:47 – All lives matter? 39:06 – Bilal's experience 44:25 – Asians and racism 46:01 – Children and education 52:05 – The use of the N word 54:38 – Protesting 58:11 – What's next for Bilal? 58:49 – What could the listeners do?

Every once in a while, I come across a story that completely blows me away. It causes me to stop, think and marvel at the level of belief, fortitude and resilience required to both transform their body and life. Jemie Mistry's story epitomises this, and she's today's guest on RNT Fitness Radio. Growing up and living with cerebral palsy, Jemie's journey has not always been straight forward. But over the past two years I've witnessed her defy previous limiting beliefs, break through new barriers, and use the physical as the vehicle for the greater good. Having lost 25kg to reach her first checkpoint recently, Jemie's story highlights the power of being committed, consistent and coachable. Her physical change is incredible, but as you'll soon hear, how she's now using it as a vehicle to do the previously unimaginable is life changing. We've also written up her case study where you can read more and see the pictures, and I've linked it in the show notes.

Today's episode is taken from a conversation with a good friend of mine, Suraj Sodha, where we spoke at his event, Entrepreneur Jam, all about the parallels between transforming your body and building your business. This was a no holds barred conversation with Suraj, where we dug into his story, shared insights together and I explained why everything I've learnt about business has come from bodybuilding.
