Welcome to the first episode of our Unplugged Series, a raw and deeply moving conversation that stands as one of the most emotional and powerful episodes I've ever recorded. This groundbreaking episode, in collaboration with the incredible Agora Clinic, brings together three men to share their intimate journeys through fertility challenges and IVF—a topic often shrouded in silence among men but one that desperately needs to be brought into the light.

Joining me at the table are Tom Webster, Kyriakos Baxevanis, and the remarkable Dr. Carole Gilling-Smith, the founder of Agora Clinic, whose expertise and compassion have been life-changing for each of us. Dr. Carole reveals staggering statistics about male fertility, offering insight into a subject that too often goes unspoken.

Together, we dive into the rollercoaster of emotions that define the journey to parenthood—miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, failed IVF cycles, and unexplained infertility. Each of us speaks openly, honestly, and vulnerably about the highs, the heartbreaks, and the resilience required to keep moving forward.

This episode isn’t just about sharing stories—it’s about breaking the silence. It's about creating a safe space for men to confront and discuss one of life’s most challenging and stigmatized issues. Through these conversations, I hope to challenge societal norms, break stigmas, and inspire change.

Whether you’ve faced similar struggles, know someone who has, or simply want to understand the depth of this often-overlooked topic, this episode is a must-listen. Together, let’s shine a light on men’s fertility journeys and help rewrite the narrative.

This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a movement.

Prepare yourself for an electrifying episode in our Short Story Series, where we delve into the defining moments that have shaped some of the most remarkable journeys from the past six seasons. Today, we spotlight an unforgettable conversation with award-winning entrepreneur Gary Peters.

This episode remains one of our most popular for a reason. In this powerful short story, Gary opens up about how naivety can be an entrepreneur's greatest gift and the unexpected edge it can provide. He pulls back the curtain on the true experience of running a business—the daily challenges, the relentless knocks, and the unyielding resilience needed to navigate them.

Gary shares the profound lesson that every entrepreneur needs to embrace: we all have good days and bad days, but if we commit to doing our best each day and remember that "this too shall pass," we can endure and thrive.

This episode holds a special place in my heart, not just because of its insights, but because Gary has been a mentor, a source of inspiration, and a great friend over the years. Join us for this inspirational short story and discover why it continues to resonate so deeply with listeners.
